Project Summary
The Franklin Boulevard Project will construct modern urban standards improvements on the old Hwy 99 alignment in Glenwood called Franklin Boulevard between downtown Springfield, and the University of Oregon and downtown Eugene. The existing Franklin corridor (a.k.a. OR 126B, McKenzie Highway), lacks facilities for bicycles and pedestrians, and is the only segment of Lane Transit District’s popular bus rapid transit EmX service, the “Green Line”, that operates in mixed traffic with temporary curb side stations.
