Policies 1., 4. and 6. in the Eugene 2035 Transportation System Plan, adopted by City <br />Council on June 26, 2017. <br />Goals <br />Goal 4: Address the transportation needs and safety of all travelers, including people <br />of all ages, abilities, races, ethnicities, and incomes. Through transportation <br />investments, respond to the needs of system users, be context sensitive, and distribute <br />the benefits and impacts of transportation decisions fairly throughout the City. <br />System -Wide Policies <br />2. Consider safety first when making transportation decisions. Strive for zero <br />transportation -related fatalities and severe injuries by reducing the number and severity <br />of crashes through design, operations, maintenance, education, and enforcement. In <br />furtherance of the City Council's adopted Vision Zero goal (Resolution No. 5143), <br />prioritize safety improvements for people who walk, bike and use mobility devices <br />because no loss of life or serious injury on our streets is acceptable. <br />Roadway and Parking Policies <br />1. ["Complete Streets Policy"] Design, construct, maintain, and operate all streets to <br />provide comprehensive and integrated transportation networks that serve people of all <br />ages and abilities, promote commerce, and support the comprehensive land use plan's <br />vision for growth and. development in a responsible and efficient manner. A "complete <br />street" allows safe travel for automobiles and emergency responders, bicycles, walking, <br />transit, and freight. In addition to fulfilling a street's basic transportation functions and <br />providing access to properties, streets and sidewalks should be designed to be <br />attractive, safe, accessible, sustainable, and healthy components of the City's <br />environment. <br />4. Facilitate prompt emergency responses. Ensure that fire and emergency response <br />routes remain passable by design. <br />6. Continually optimize the efficiency of the transportation system through <br />transportation system management (TSM) improvements, connectivity improvements, <br />multimodal improvements, parking management and supply, and Transportation <br />Demand Management (TDM) strategies, in combination with the projects identified in <br />this TSP. <br />Administrative Order -- Page 3 of 4 <br />
