PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE ACCESS WAYS Access ways are interconnecting paved walkways which provide pedestrian and bicycle passage such as between two cul-de-sacs or between subdivision plats. Access ways shall be a minimum of 10' wide on a 10' right-of-way. They shall be constructed of Portland cement concrete with a typical depth of 5" concrete over a 1" base of crushed rock. The dimen- sions for the pavement and crushed rock are based upon the heaviest vehicle which will use the access way and the native soil conditions. Final pavement and base design shall be determined following an engineering analysis of the design variables. Access ways which function as a secondary fire access shall be constructed to support 55,000 pound vehicles. Fire access ways shall be paved a minimum of 20' wide on a 20' right-of-way unless a narrower width is approved by the City Manager or designee. Access ways shall be designed to minimize motor- ized traffic. Bollards are not the preferred option and should be used only if warranted. If used, bollards should be painted with white reflective paint, and should be placed in the center of the path. Figure 181 ! ! ! Total ! ! Pavement ! Right Type ! Description ! Width ! of -Way ! ! !

Drain- age systems which collect surface water along the centerline of the access way (similar to paved alleys) are not permitted. Adequate vision clearance shall be provided at the ends of public access ways as required in Chapter 9 of the Eugene Code. Access ways shall be as straight as possible between connecting streets.
