Public Improvement Design Standards Manual; <br /> <br />Utility and Right-of-way Permits, Construction <br /> <br />Within the Use of the Public Way, Policies and <br />Procedures Manual. <br />ACSP, adopted as findings in <br />support of the Design Standards and Guidelines for <br />Eugene Streets, Sidwalks, Bikeways & Accessways, <br />illustrate the extensions of existing streets, <br />connections to existing and planned streets, including <br />arterials and collectors, and connections to <br />neighborhood destinations. Consistent with this <br />previously adopted plan, connections to arterials and <br />state highways remain consistent with designated <br />access management categories. <br /> <br />Eugene Code Chapter 9 includes street connectivity <br />requirements to ensure that all of the following are <br />met: <br />(a) Streets are designed to efficiently and safely <br />accommodate emergency fire and medical service <br />vehicles. <br />(b) The layout of a street system does not create <br />excessive travel lengths. <br />(c) The function of a local street is readily apparent to <br />the user through its appearance and design in order to <br />reduce non-local traffic on local residential streets. <br />(d) Streets are interconnected to reduce travel <br />distance, promote the use of alternative modes, <br />provide for efficient provision of utility and emergency <br />services, and provide for more even dispersal of traffic. <br />(e) New streets are designed to meet the needs of <br />pedestrians and cyclists and encourage walking and <br />bicycling as transportation modes. <br />(f) The street circulation pattern provides connections <br />to and from activity centers such as schools, <br />commercial areas, parks, employment centers, and <br />other major attractors. <br />(g) Street design is responsive to topography and other <br />natural features and avoids or minimizes impacts to <br />water-related resources and wildlife corridors. <br />(h) Local circulation systems and land development <br />patterns do not detract from the efficiency of adjacent <br />collector streets or arterial streets which are designed <br />to accommodate heavy traffic. <br />(i) Streets identified as future transit routes should be <br />designed to safely and efficiently accommodate transit <br />Exhibit A to an Ordinance Concerning Long Range Transportation Planning <br />Page 13 of 63 <br /> <br />
