ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-19-13 <br />of the <br />Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene <br />REMOVING ON -STREET PARKING FROM THE NORTH SIDE OF 13TH <br />AVENUE FROM LINCOLN STREET TO HILYARD 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 to "establish, maintain, remove, or alter ... <br />parking areas and time limitations, including the form of permissible parking" and to "impose <br />conditions upon which the streets and other public property may be used for parking." EC 5.055 <br />sets forth the criteria the City Manager or the City Manager's designee should consider when <br />taking administrative action authorized by 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 from the north side of 13th Avenue from <br />Lincoln Street to Hilyard Street, I have considered all of the applicable criteria set forth in EC <br />5.055. Based on the applicable criteria set forth in EC 5.055, the following findings support my <br />decision to remove parking: <br />1) The public process for developing an all ages and abilities bikeway from downtown <br />Eugene to the UO Campus began in 2013 and included three open house meetings to <br />identify issues, review alternatives, and discuss recommendations.
