Vision Zero <br />In November of 2015, the Eugene City Council joined a growing number of cities around the <br />country in adopting a Vision Zero Resolution that states "no loss of life or serious injury on our <br />transportation system is acceptable." Vision Zero is a data -driven approach to educate the <br />community and enable the City to prioritize resources based on evidence of the greatest need <br />and impact. <br />The City regularly combines Vision Zero principles with ongoing pavement preservation <br />projects. Cost effective intersection enhancements such as countdown pedestrian signals and <br />audible pedestrian signals will continue to be a priority and standard practice on future projects. <br />Enhanced pedestrian crossings have been implemented on a number of recent projects <br />including 13th Avenue, Blair Blvd, and 30th Ave and University Street. In the next two years the <br />City is undertaking large-scale corridor wide improvements on the Amazon corridor. The City is <br />partnering Bond funds with Federal funds to improve the corridor by adding a cycle track and <br />enhanced pedestrian crossings. ODOT has shown that the inclusion of these types of <br />enhancements can significantly reduce fatal and serious injury crashes. <br />ADA Transition Plan <br />As part of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, the City of Eugene <br />conducted an evaluation of its public rights-of-way, and developed a transition plan that outlines <br />in detail how the organization will ensure safe access to all of its facilities for all individuals. <br />Public Works collected detailed data on over 15,000 ramps and 250 pedestrian signals to <br />develop transition schedules specific to these facilities. The Public Works Director approved the <br />ADA Transition Plan for the Public Rights -of -Way was approved by Administrative Order in July <br />2015. All capital rehabilitation projects are evaluated for access compliance and potential <br />improvements during scoping and preliminary design. <br />238 sidewalk ramps were upgraded as part of 2016 capital paving projects. <br />Sustainability and Gains through Technical Developments <br />In 2010, Eugene created the Community Climate and Energy Action <br />Plan (CEAP), joining a growing list of forward -thinking cities around <br />the world that are addressing climate change and energy challenges <br />by planning with vision and creativity. The Climate Recovery <br />Ordinance (CRO), adopted in 2014 and updated in 2016, is our <br />community's next step toward fulfilling these efforts. The 2016 update <br />established the goal of reducing the 2010 levels of community fossil <br />fuel use by 50 percent by the year 2030. Eugene is on a path to reach <br />this goal. <br />The City of Eugene continually strives to improve the quality, environmental footprint, and cost <br />efficiency of its projects. In 2016, Eugene continued to use warm mix asphalt pavement and <br />increased use of reclaimed binder to meet these sustainability criteria. <br />
