ATTACHMENT A PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION (October 27, 2003): Forward the Draft June 2003 Central Area Transportation Study, with Eugene Planning Commission recommendations, to Eugene City Council for adoption. Eugene Planning Commission recommendations (new text indicated in bold italics, deletions shown with strdkeom): 1. Modify Proposed Implementation Strategy 1.1 as follows: 1.1 "Develop plans including a post-planning, pre-implementation public involvement process to convert the following street segments from one-way to two-way operation..." 2. Modify Proposed Implementation Strategy 1.1, d. as follows: 1.1 d. "8th Avenue between ~ffe~soa Lincoln Street and Oak Street" Modify Proposed Implementation Strategy 1.1 discussion by inserting text after second paragraph as follows: "Prior to implementation of any street conversion from one-way to two-way operation, design and operational issues are reviewed for their ability to function acceptably. In some cases, there may be unintended consequences of those operational changes which may require modifications to the original design or other mitigating measures. The nature of modifications may range from relatively minor operational "tweaks" implemented frequently throughout the transportation system to more substantial infrastructure changes or removal of previously constructed infrastructure. Since most projects involve significant public investment, caution is exercised when considering modification or removal of previously constructed infrastructure to arrive at a functional and cost effective solution." 4. Modify Proposed Implementation Strategy 1.1 discussion as follows: "8th Avenue between ~Ffer~soa Lincoln Street and Oak Street. This segment of the roadway has two travel lanes regulated as one-way westbound with on-street parking on both sides of the roadway. Conversion would require the reconstruction of signals at Wash;~ngtcn, Lincoln, Charnelton (if not accomplished with those conversions), Olive, Willamette, and Oak streets. Further conversion to two-way operation between Oak Street and Mill Street may be possible following development of the new Federal Courthouse circulation plan. Due to narrow existing street width, conversion to two-way operation between Jefferson Street and Lincoln Street will also require further study to address the need for on- street parMng, any future bicycle facilities and traffic operations."
