site circulation for pick-up and drop-off as well as a net increase of approximately 32 parking spots compared to the old campus. 2. By Resolution 4608, the City Council adopted the Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Access Ways which includes travel lanes and bike lanes as standard features of Minor Arterial streets. Parking is an optional feature on Major Arterials. By Ordinance No. 20181, the City Council adopted the Street Classification Map that designated East 24th Avenue as a Minor Arterial. 3. East 24th Avenue is a minor arterial with a posted speed of 30 mph. The street has one eastbound travel lane, one west bound travel lane, an eastbound bike lane adjacent to on -street parking and a west bound bike lane adjacent to the curb. The curb to curb width is approximately 35 -feet. 4. The adopted Design Standards and Guidelines establishes design guidelines for travel lane widths on Minor Arterial streets at 11 feet, bike lanes at a minimum of 5 feet, and parking lanes at a minimum of 7 feet. Current widths of the travel lanes, bike lanes and parking lanes along this portion of East 24th Avenue fall below the adopted minimum standards. 5. If parking is removed from the south side of East 24th Avenue, the curb to curb width of East 24th Avenue will be wide enough to increase the width of the travel lanes and install protected bike lanes that exceed minimum widths. 6. From 2009 to 2014, there were two crashes involving motor vehicles and people riding bicycles on this section of East 24th Avenue. 7. Parking studies conducted by the City and Eugene 4J staff between November 2015 and March 2016 show an average parking volume of 17 vehicles parking in approximately 33 parking spaces along the south side of East 24th Avenue between Patterson Street and Amazon Parkway. Two public meetings were held to discuss the proposed parking removal. Representatives of Spencer's View Apartments, which is adjacent to East 24th Avenue on the north side of the street and owned by the University of Oregon, expressed concern over the parking removal but with alterations to their on- site parking management have enough on-site parking spaces to meet their tenant's needs. 8. Removal of parking on the south side of East 201 Avenue is consistent with objectives 1 and 2 and policies 1. 1, 1.5, 2.1 and 2.3 of the Eugene Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan (PBMP) accepted by Eugene City Council on March 12, 2012.
