Street improvement projects such as these are constructed to last for decades, long past the time <br />when we will have affordable fossil fuels to power a wasteful gasoline engine-driven <br />transportation system. Future residents of the area will appreciate your support for alternative <br />transportation, making it possible for them to live in this area and reach working, shopping, <br />educating, and recreating destinations in some safety. <br /> <br />Thank you, Howie Bonnett <br /> <br /> <br />From: Amy [mailto:amyc@efn.org] <br />Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 2:33 PM <br />To: *Eugene Mayor and City Council <br />Subject: Safety... in the Crest Drive redesign <br /> <br />HI <br /> <br />Please read the following regarding the way, philosophy, knowledge, awareness that Congress is <br />taking action for actual safe and creative ways to facilitate bicyclists. They are asking American <br />communities to create safe, bike facilities instead of just verbally promoting/marketing <br />bicycle/pedestrian...also Betty Taylor, please think again about your verbal and written <br />comments suggesting that bicyclist riding through the Crest Drive neighborhood should ride in the <br />middle of the road. Do you plan on posting signs suggesting and promoting all pedestrians and <br />bicyclist to ride in the middle of the roads? Or new regulations allowing everyone to walk/ride in <br />the middle of the expensive, inefficient...redesign and put their lives in danger. <br /> <br />Again, this is an expensive redesign, please let all neighbors vote, it is very permanent, <br />consider the fast pace of the changing times in regards to sustaining a safe and cleaner <br />environment, health...less reliance on autos and gasoline, pollution. <br /> <br /> <br />From: <br /> Amy [mailto:amyc@efn.org] <br />Sent: <br /> Tuesday, March 11, 2008 6:29 PM <br />To: <br /> *Eugene Mayor and City Council <br />Subject: <br /> Crest Drive redesign – Congress <br /> <br />Complete Streets Act of 2008 (Introduced in Senate) <br /> <br />S 2686 IS <br />110th CONGRESS <br />2d Session <br />S. 2686 <br />To ensure that all users of the transportation system, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit <br />users as well as children, older individuals, and individuals with disabilities, are able to travel <br />safely and conveniently on streets and highways. <br />IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES <br />March 3, 2008 <br />Mr. HARKIN (for himself and Mr. CARPER) introduced the following bill; which was read twice <br />and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation <br />- 14 - <br />Crest Drive CSS Design Recommendation Public Testimony 2/14/08 through 4/8/08 <br />
