ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-18-01 <br />of the <br />Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene <br />REMOVING ON -STREET PARKING ON CAPITAL DRIVE BETWEEN <br />SPRING BOULEVARD AND CRESTA DE RUTA STREET <br />The Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene finds that: <br />A. Under the provisions of Chapter IV, Section 16 of the Eugene Charter of 2002, the <br />City Manager is designated as the administrative head of the City, and is specifically authorized <br />to enforce all ordinances of the City. In addition, EC 5.040 authorizes the City Manager or the <br />Manager's designee to take administrative action establishing parking area time limitations, <br />including the form of permissible parking, and imposing conditions upon which the streets and <br />other public property may be used for parking. EC 5.055 sets forth the criteria the City Manager <br />or the City Manager's designee should consider when taking administrative action authorized by <br />EC 5.040. <br />B. On September 24, 2009, the City Manager issued Administrative Order No. 58-09- <br />14 granting the Traffic Engineer of the Public Works Department the authority to exercise all of <br />the duties and responsibilities specifically defined as those of the City Manager in Section 5.040 <br />and 5.050 of the Eugene Code, 1971. In addition, Administrative Rule R-5.045 assigns additional <br />responsibilities to the Traffic Engineer. <br />C. By Administrative Order No. 58-17-08, the City Manager appointed me as the <br />City's Traffic Engineer and delegated to me authority to exercise all duties and responsibilities <br />granted to the City Manager by EC 5.040 and 5.050. <br />D. In making the decision to remove parking on Capital Drive between Spring <br />Boulevard and Cresta De Ruta Street, I have considered all of the applicable criteria set forth in <br />EC 5.055. Based on the applicable criteria set forth in EC 5.055, the following findings support <br />my decision to remove parking from this section of Capital Drive: <br />1) By Resolution 4608, the City Council adopted the Design Standards and Guidelines for <br />Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Access Ways which includes travel lanes as <br />standard features of local streets. Parking is an optional feature on local streets. By <br />Ordinance No. 20181, the City Council adopted the Street Classification Map that <br />designated Capital Drive between Spring Boulevard and Cresta De Ruta Street as a <br />local street. <br />Administrative Order -- Page I of 4 <br />
