Background and History <br /> <br />The Eugene Arterial and Collector Street Plan (ACSP), adopted by the City Council in <br />November of 1999 did not classify the streets in the Crest Drive neighborhood. On page <br />5 of the document's preface, one of the answers to frequently asked questions speaks <br />directly to this issue, stating: "The ~4CSP will have no effect on the Crest Drive <br />neighborhood at the present time. The Planning Commission is recommending to the <br />City Council that a separate transportation study be undertaken for the Crest Drive <br />neighborhood to determine appropriate classifications and street design standards for <br />that neighborhood. Until that study is completed, no classifications or standards are <br />proposed for Crest Drive area streets, and no street reconstruction or street design <br />projects will be initiated in this area." <br /> <br />Many roadways in the Crest Drive area have pavement surfaces that are worn out and are <br />deteriorating rapidly. Some street segments are experiencing rising traffic volumes due <br />to infill development within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and continued growth in <br />unincorporated areas of the County outside the UGB. There are two distinct street types <br />found in the Crest Drive neighborhood, those with curbs and gutters, and others that are <br />unimproved roadways with open ditches. The paved surfaces vary widely with many <br />older roadways being oil mats or macadam surfaces over former gravel roadways, while <br />newer streets have multi-layer asphaltic pavements applied over engineered aggregate <br />bases. <br /> <br />Most of this neighborhood was annexed to the City of Eugene after 1946, with <br />annexations being documented by city ordinances in 1948, 1957, 1958, 1960, 1'962, 1964, <br />1967, and 1969. Smaller parcels have been annexed since that time and nearly all of the <br />land inside the Urban Growth Boundary in this study area is currently within Eugene City <br />limits. <br /> <br /> Study Objectives <br /> <br /> This study was initiated to develop appropriate roadway classifications within the study <br /> area bounded generally by Willamette Street on the east, West 28th and West 29th <br /> Avenues on the north, Chambers Street and a line extended along the Urban Growth <br /> Boundary to Blanton Road on the west, and West 40th and West 39th Avenues on the <br /> south (see Area map shown as Exhibit A in the Appendix). Staff expected to identify <br /> at least one significant east/west route and one central north/south route through the <br /> neighborhood to serve as collectors. <br /> <br /> To achieve an inclusive process with residents, we mailed 1,900 postcards to addresses in <br /> the Crest Drive neighborhood. An advisory committee of volunteer citizens from the <br /> neighborhood was assembled to involve citizens who are most familiar with the roadways <br /> being studied in the process. A series of five meetings were held at Morse Ranch and <br /> downtown city facilities to develop the framework for the study, and an open house <br /> conducted February 13, 2003. These efforts were to involve the committee in the <br /> <br /> <br />
