ATTACHMENT D October 18, 2004 CITY OF EUGENE CREST DRIVE AREA STREET CLASSIFICATION PROCESS COMMON GROUND Through the public involvement process regarding street classification in the Crest Drive neighborhood the following items have emerged as support, opinion or understanding held in common with both City of Eugene Public Works staff involved with the project and neighbors and community members involved with the project. 1. Support for the philosophy of Context Sensitive Design (CSD). 2. Support for the development of CSD Process and Standards. 3. Support for the adoption of CSD Process and Standards. 4. Opinion that a good use of CSD could be in the design of street improvements in the Crest Drive neighborhood. 5. Opinion that the neighborhood environment and character is important and should be protected in any street improvement project. That the forest, wildlife, topography, soils and drainage needs to be understood and incorporated into street design. That the rural country- in-the-city atmosphere could be a theme in street design in the neighborhood. 6. Understanding that a Local Street classification would eliminate certain revenue sources for street improvement projects and increase the competition for street improvement prioritization and scheduling. 7. Opinion that the recently begun street design conversation between staff and the neighborhood is a good thing and should continue. 8. Agree that there is a certain amount of disagreement and misunderstanding regarding the nature and character of traffic in the neighborhood and that, when taking into consideration all factors relating to transportation system and street improvement planning, the city and neighborhood should move on and continue to work together to develop a plan for streets in the Crest Drive area. 9. Support for addressing traffic management, traffic calming and pedestrian and vehicle safety, including looking at a full menu of requirements, options and ideas, identifying what on the menu is available and what is not, and discussing advantages and disadvantages for street design in the Crest Drive neighborhood.
