pedestrian medians, pedestrian crossing stripping, and other traffic calming and warning techniques as appropriate. • Work with individual neighborhoods to identify and improve interesting walking routes that utilize available trails, paths, and sidewalks. Creating and publicizing a network of walking routes easily accessed from people1 s homes will help to reduce the need to travel a great distance to access trails and will help promote exercise and public health. • Integrate public art, temporary art installations, and interpretive pieces into the trail system in order to enhance user experience and interest. I Principle #2: Provide Trail System Connectivity • Develop connector trails that provide direct bicycle and pedestrian access from neighborhoods, parks, public transit, schools, and parks onto the City1s major trail networks. • Provide connections to regional trail systems found in areas such as Buford Recreation Area, Fern Ridge Wildlife Area, and the cities of Springfield and Coburg . • Provide trail connections to the regional network of hard-surface shared -use paths (e.g. Willamette River and Fern Ridge paths). • Where trail connections are not possible due to existing development patterns, designate alternative on -street routes that provide safe passage for bicyclists, walkers, and runners . These designated on-street connections should include sidewalks, bicycle facilities (lanes or routes), safe intersection crossings, and pedestrian-scale directional signage. I Principle #3: Increase Equity and Access to the Trail System • Plan trails so the geographic equity of the system is increased. • Plan and improve the trail system so that underserved user groups have more opportunities to use the trail system . • Plan and improve the trail system to provide additional trail options for users with limited mobility including access to points of interest and viewpoints . • Locate trails and trail access points so they are accessible by public transportation where possible. Work jointly with Lane Transit District to provide access to key trail heads and parks with trails and make this information easily available to the public. I Principle #4: Accommodate a Variety of Users and Disperse Use to Alleviate Crowding • Expand the trail system in order to provide more user options and help alleviate crowding on heavily used trails and paths. • Develop shared-use access along all major trail corridors (e.g., Ridgeline corridor) for a variety of non-motorized trail users including pedestrians, runners, and mountain bikers where feasible. This could be achieved through a combined approach of developing carefully designed shared-use trail segments (bicycles, pedestrians, and runners on same trail), constructing parallel segregated-use trail segments (parallel single-track trail open to mountain bikes), or providing parallel on-road bicycle bypasses where feasible. Implement design features such as chokes and turns to limit bicycle speeds and improved sight lines to help reduce user conflicts on shared-use trail segments. Eugene Trails Plan -2018 Page 23
