ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-17-03 of the Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene REMOVING ON -STREET PARKING FROM WEST 2ND AVENUE BETWEEN CHAMBERS STREET AND GARFIELD STREET The Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene finds that: A. Under the provisions of Chapter IV, Section 16 of the Eugene Charter of 2002, the City Manager is designated as the administrative head of the City, and is specifically authorized to enforce all ordinances of the City. In addition, EC 5.040 authorizes the City Manager or the Manager's designee to take administrative action establishing parking area time limitations, including the form of permissible parking, and imposing conditions upon which the streets and other public property may be used for parking. EC 5.055 sets forth the criteria the City Manager or the City Manager's designee should consider when taking administrative action authorized by EC 5.040. B. On September 24, 2009, the City Manager issued Administrative Order No. 58-09- 14 granting the Traffic Engineer of the Public Works Department the authority to exercise all of the duties and responsibilities specifically defined as those of the City Manager in Section 5.040 and 5.050 of the Eugene Code, 1971.

On February 10, 2016, the City Manager issued Administrative Order No. 58-16- 06 appointing me as the City's AIC Traffic Engineer, D. Pursuant to the above -authority, I intend to remove on -street parking from West 2nd Avenue between Chambers Street and Garfield Street. In making the decision to remove parking from West 2nd Avenue between Chambers Street and Garfield Street, I have considered all of the applicable criteria set forth in EC 5.055. Based on the applicable criteria set forth in EC 5.055, the following findings support my decision to remove parking: 1) Currently parking on West 2nd Avenue between Chambers Street and Garfield Street is prohibited by the presence of yellow curb which has been placed for at least five years along both curb lines for the length of this segment. 2) By Resolution 4608, the City Council adopted the Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Access Ways which includes travel lanes and bike lanes as standard features of Major Collector streets.
