CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION <br />The City Manager recommends Option 2. The "quiet zone" rule is new and no jurisdiction has gone <br />through the process under the new rule so there is no implementation history. Significant funding is <br />required to implement the SSMs necessary to obtain "quiet zone" designation, and additional study is <br />required to identify funding options should the council wish to proceed with implementation. <br />Additional time also would allow staff to further study impacts on local businesses and the area <br />transportation system. <br /> <br />In any event, the manager recommends that any "quiet zone" application be pursued under the "risk <br />index with horns" criteria, not the "national risk index," to ensure the current level of protection of <br />public safety is maintained. <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br />No motion is suggested. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />A. Map of a proposed Quiet Zone <br />B. Detail of Quad Gate installation and median installation <br />C. Table with seven possible alternatives <br />D. Discussion of alternative scenarios <br />E. Details of specific crossings in the Quiet Zone <br /> <br />FOR MORE INFORMATION <br />Staff Contact: Tom Larsen <br />Telephone: 682-4959 <br />Staff E-Mail: tom.c.larsen~ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2005 Council Agendas\M050720\S050720B.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
