<br />9. THE SURVEY OF TRArFIC CONDITIONS, ORIGIN DESTINATION COUNTS AND TREATMENT or
<br />13TH AVENUE FROM KINCAID TO ONYX STREET THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY or OREGON CAMPUS AS
<br />SUBMI,TTED BY THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIVISION OF THE STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT WAS
<br />ANALYZED. IT WAS NOTED IN THE SURVEY OF THESE TRAFrlC CONDITIONS THAT THE CLOSING OF
<br />13~H AVENUE WO~LD' DEPEND UPON THE ABILITY OF ADJACENT STREETS TO ABSORB THE TRAFFIC
<br />o I V E R TE 0 , AND T HAT . THE 0 I V E R S I ON 0 F THE I 3 T H A V E N U E T R A F F I C TO I I T H A V E N U E W 0 U LOB E
<br />PROHIBITED AS 11TH AVENUE IS ALREADY OPERATING ABOVE MAXIMUM OPERATING CAPACITY AND
<br />SUDDEN TRArFIC ADDED TO 11TH AVENUE WOULD RESULT INCONSIDERABLE ADDED CONGESTION AND
<br />POSSIBLE COMPLETE F~ILURE DURING PEAK TRAFFIC PERIODS. TRAFFIC VOLUME ON 13TH AVENUE
<br />SHOWED A TYPICAL WEEKDAY OF 6,988 VEHICLES OF WHICH ONLY 22% ENTERED FROM SIDE STREETS
<br />AND THAT CLOSING OF 13TH AVENUE WOULD CAUSE INCONVENIENCE TO 1,640 DRIVERS DAILY.
<br />
<br />THE SIGNALI ZATION OF KINCAID'AND 13TH, UNIVERSITY AND 13TH, AND ONYX AND 13TH, AS
<br />ANALYZED IN THIS REPORT SHOWS AN ESTIMATED COST OF SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 13,800 DOLLARS
<br />AND $15,200, .AND A REVIEW OF'THE.REPORT CONFIRMED'JHE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT SIGNALIZATION
<br />OF~THESE INTERSECTIONS FOR THE DENIAL OF ACCESS TO THE CRITICAL SECTION DURING CLASS
<br />PERIODS WOULD NOT BE COMMENSURATE WITH THE COST OF THE INSTALLATION OF THE SIGNALS.
<br />
<br />HOWEVER, THE ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION'OF IMPROVED SIGNING, ALTHOUGH LACKING THE
<br />POSITIVE ErFECT OF SIGNALS WOULD DENY ACCESS TO'THE CRITICAL SECTION ON THE CAMPUS AT
<br />AN ESTIMATED COST OF $2,500.00. THIS ALTERNATE IMPROVED SIGNING WOULD CONSIST O~ THE
<br />INSTALLATION or METAL LNTERIORL1GHTED CABINETS,WITH PLEXI-GLASS FRONTS AND THE SIGN
<br />MESSAGES COULD BE SO WORDED WITH DIRECTIONAL ARROWS AS TO ADEQUATELY DIVERT TRAFFIC
<br />DURING THE TEN MINUTE PERIODS BETWEEN CLASSES. THE ILLUMINATION or THESE SIGNS CAN
<br />BE CONTROLLED BY A PROGRAM TIMING DEVICE THE SAME AS IN THE SIGNAL INSTALLATION AND
<br />DURING 50 MINUTES OF THE HOUR THE SIGNS WOULD BE BLANK. DURING THE TEN MINUTE PERIODS
<br />BETWEEN CLASSES THE MESSAGES DIVERTING TRAFFIC WOULD BE ILLUMINATED AND VISIBLE.
<br />
<br />IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE INSTALLATION OF THI S PLEXI-GLASS
<br />SIGNING AND THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE INSTRUCTED TO NEGOTIATE ~ITH OFFICIALS OF THE
<br />UNIVERSITY FOR THIS INSTALLATION UPON A FIFTY-FIFTY BASIS BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE
<br />UNI VERSI TY WI TH THE, COST TO THE CI TY NOT TO EXCEED $1,500.00.
