City of Eugene - Crest Drive Area Street Classification Process Page 3 StaffUnderstanding of Neighborhood Input October 18, 2004 4) Provide a continuous pathway along one side of the main street network through the neighborhood (Crest, Storey, and Friendly). But think pathway, not sidewalk. Understand need for accessibility and accessibility requirements. But, here too, think outside the box. Think context sensitive.

Consider Sq, tember 29 Design Workshop variable width and alignment, as well as alternative materials such as crushed rock. If it must be concrete, do everything possible to avoid clean white concrete. Think color, texture, alternative surfacing treatments. 5) Keep open drainage where it exists and can remain. Neighbors like staff's suggestion that streets can drain to one side rather than crowned in the middle. 6) Understand that streets can be as narrow as two 1 O-foot travel lanes. That bikes would share the lane with cars. That we still need to accommodate emergency vehicles. Keep paved road width to 20 feet. 7) Driveways and on-street parking need to be carefully thought through. Driveways do not have to be the white concrete aprons we see everywhere. Parking can be in strategically located parking bays. But place bays only where there is already enough room. And make them soft-edged and informally shaped. 8) Several intersections really need help: Crest and Blanton, middle Crest and Storey, lower Crest and Storey, and the intersection at Storey, Lorane and Friendly. Think stop signs, "T" intersections, crosswalks. Anything that improves safety, and slows down vehicle speeds, while preserving neighborhood character.
