32 <br />EUGENE VISION ZERO <br />Street Design <br />Actions in this area will influence the physical design of Eugene’s streets and the process by <br />which street designs are developed and approved. <br />Key Implementers <br />• City of Eugene Department of Fire and Emergency <br />Medical Services <br />• City of Eugene Department of Planning and Development <br />• City of Eugene Department of Public Works <br />• Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) Safe Lane <br />Coalition <br />• Lane County Public Works <br />• Oregon Department of Transportation <br />• 4J and Bethel School Districts <br />Two-year actions <br />SD-1: Build capital safety infrastructure improvements along the Vision Zero High Crash <br />Network each year. Example: Construction of a median island with additional enhancements <br />to create a safer crossing for pedestrians and/or bicyclists on a wide street. <br /> <br />SD-2: Implement signal phasing and operational changes for the High Crash Intersections <br />each year. Example: Implement signal timing and phasing modifications or upgrades to <br />reduce crashes and improve safety. <br />SD-3: Use assessment of demonstration or pilot projects as proof of concept for safety <br />infrastructure changes on the Vision Zero high crash streets and intersections. <br />SD-4: Prioritize street maintenance (surface and striping) on the Vision Zero high crash <br />streets and intersections. <br />SD-5: Prioritize sidewalk infill, inspection and maintenance of sidewalks on the <br />High Crash Streets for People Walking. <br /> <br />SD-6: Review resurfacing and restriping maintenance projects with the safety of all users in <br />mind. <br />SD-7: Integrate Vision Zero into the City’s development review checklist to ensure that public <br />rights-of-way are being designed for the most vulnerable users of our streets. <br /> <br />SD-8: Review and revise City code governing site design’s interface with the public right-of- <br />way to incorporate safe design standards for all modes and to prioritize safety along the high <br />crash network. Example: current driveway/access management code (Chapter 7). <br />The City is already taking <br />a major step this year <br />to improve the safety <br />of its street design with <br />development and planned <br />adoption of updated <br />Street Design Guidelines <br />that recommend features <br />for new streets and <br />retrofits to existing ones. <br />April 10, 2019, Work Session – Item 1
