Constructing quad-gates at <br />this crossing would not adequately isolate the crossing as a train passes through due to the rail <br />siding into Grain Millers. The panel dismissed the closure option because Jefferson Street is critical <br />to the daily operations of Grain Millers and several other businesses. It is on a bus route. Average <br />daily traffic (ADT) at the tracks is 690 southbound and 480 northbound. If the street were closed, <br />most of southbound Jefferson traffic would be diverted to Washington southbound, causing <br />increased delay at Fifth and Washington. The commercial property owner north of the tracks <br />requested that two-way traffic be allowed access to First Avenue. This <br />change has been incorporated into the design. <br /> <br />7 ²§¨­¦³®­ 3³±¤¤³ <br />2¤¢®¬¬¤­£ ³¨®­Ȁ ¨­²³ ««   quadȃ¦ ³¤ ²¸²³¤¬  ³ ³§¨² ¢±®²²¨­¦ȁ !££¨³¨®­ ««¸Ǿ ¢«®²¤ ³§¤ ²¨£¤¶ «ª «¤ £¨­¦ <br />³® ³§¤ ­®±³§¶¤²³ ¢®±­¤± ®¥ ³§¤ ¢±®²²¨­¦ȁ <br />Medians are not feasible due the proximity of intersection of <br />3 Ave. The citizen panel and surrounding businesses did not support converting Washington St. to <br />rd <br />one-way northbound operations. And closure was not an option given that the average daily traffic <br />count at the crossing is 4,700. This left a quad gate system as the most viable option. <br /> <br />, ¶±¤­¢¤ 3³±¤¤³ <br />2¤¢®¬¬¤­£ ³¨®­Ȁ  ££ ¬¤£¨ ­² ³® , ¶±¤­¢¤ 3³±¤¤³ȁ 4§¨² ¨² ³§¤ «®¶¤²³ ¢®²³ ¬¤ ²´±¤  ­£ £®¤² ­®³ <br />®¡«¨¦ ³¤ ³§¤ #¨³¸ ³®  ­  ­­´ « ¬ ¨­³¤­ ­¢¤ ¥¤¤ Ȩ ² °´ £ȃ <br />±¤°´¤²³ ³® ´¯¦± £¤ ² ¥¤³¸ ¥¤ ³´±¤² ¥®¢´²¤£ ®­ ¯¤£¤²³±¨ ­²Ǿ ³¶® ²¬ ««¤±ȃ²¢ «¤ ¡¤««  ­£ ¥« ²§¨­¦ «¨¦§³ <br />²¨¦­ «² ¶¨«« ¡¤ ¯« ¢¤£ ®­ ³§¤ ®¯¯®²¨³¤ ²¨£¤ ®¥ ³§¤ ²³±¤¤³ ¥±®¬ ³§¤ µ¤§¨¢«¤ ¦ ³¤²  £© ¢¤­³ ³® ³§¤ ²¨£¤¶ «ªȁ <br />At one time it was the ptreet to accommodate the planned <br />Amtrak layover siding. City engineers worked with the Amtrak design engineers and determined <br />that this is not a viable option because it would negatively impact the size of freight trains from the <br />Eugene station to the UP switching yard. Additionally, community outreach revealed that Lawrence <br />is considered an important north-south connector and should remain open. Constructing medians <br />may require the removal of two or three parking spaces south of the tracks. Public input was that <br />the pavement surface needs to be rehabilitated, especially if Lincoln Street is closed. <br /> <br />,¨­¢®«­ 3³±¤¤³ <br />2¤¢®¬¬¤­£ ³¨®­Ȁ  ££ ¬¤£¨ ­² ³® ,¨­¢®«­ 3³±¤¤³ ¶¨³§   ¯¤£¤²³±¨ ­ ²¢ «¤ ¡¤««  ­£ ¥« ²§¤±  £© ¢¤­³ ³® <br />³§¤ ²¨£¤¶ «ª ®­ ³§¤ ²®´³§¤±«¸  ¯¯±® ¢§ȁ <br />After discussions over 2-3 meetings, the panel <br />recommended closure of Lincoln Street rather than Lawrence Street as discussed above. With the <br />decision to construct the entrance of the EWEB riverfront redevelopment site using the existing 8 <br />th <br />and Hilyard crossing, the need to close Lincoln is no longer a requirement. The crossing will still <br />require closure when the Amtrak layover siding project is constructed. <br /> <br /> <br /> 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
