1.4 Relationship to Hard-Surface Bicycle and Pedest ria n System Hard -surface paths, separate from the roadway network, are designed to carry a mix of users including bicyclists, walkers, roller-bladers , and runners. The City's current path standard is 12 feet in width with concrete surfacing and lighting. Shared-use paths are considered a part of the City's transportation system, so planning for these facilities is addressed separately through the City's Transportation System Plan and Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The existing network of hard -surface shared - use paths, sidewalks, and on-street bicycle facilities located throughout Eugene plays a critical role for the function, connectivity, and usability the recreational trail network. These hard-surface routes accommodate a high percentage of close-to-home recreational use, and also allow trail users to walk or bicycle to trailheads and also provide key connections between isolated trail segments where connections cannot be made on soft-surface trails. Shared-use paths and key on -street connections are indicated on the Trails Plan Maps included later in this document to show system context and connectivity. Hard -surface paths like the East Bank Path shown above play a critical role for the function, connectivity, and usability of Eugene's soft-surface recreational trail network. 1.5 Relationship to Other Plans and Reports A number of existing plans and reports along with ongoing planning efforts provide important context and direction related to the development of the Eugene Trails Plan.
