Eugene Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Policy 3.1 is to ensure high <br />quality , flexible and secure bicycle parking at all destinations , and ensure that <br />bicycle parking is considered when parks , schools , and ot her public facilities <br />are planned. <br />The parking system has converted on-street parking spaces to <br />pedestrian and bicycle facilities , such as bike lanes on 13 th Avenue. <br />Plans over the next few years will convert additional parking spaces to <br />bicycle lanes on Lincoln , 13th Avenue , and High Street. The conversion <br />of parking spaces reduces the supply of parking and increases vehicle <br />parking demand , while also providing more connected bicycle ways . The <br />Parking Enterprise Fund also pays for the installation of on-street bike <br />corrals and bicycle parking on sidewalks. <br />Eugene Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Policy 3.5 is to provide <br />wayfind ing tools for pedestrians and bicyclists. <br />The Parking Services program is lead for implementing the Downtown <br />Wayfinding Plan (2017) with staff time and resources for s igns, poles , <br />and other wayfinding assets . <br />The Climate Recovery Ordinance includes four goals : <br />1. Reduce community fossil fuel use by 50% of 2010 levels by 2030. <br />2. Reduce total community greenhouse gas emissions to an amount that <br />is no more than the city of Eugene's average share of a globa l <br />atmospheric greenhouse gas level of 350 ppm , wh ich was estimated <br />in 2016 to require an annual average emission reduction level of 7 .6% <br />3. City of Eugene owned facilities and operations are to be carbon <br />neutral by 2020, meaning no net release of greenhouse gas <br />emissions . <br />4. Reduce the City of Eugene's use of fossil fuels by 50% compared to <br />2010 usage. <br />The proposed amendment to parking fee schedule wi ll provide additional <br />resources for the Parking Enterprise Fund to work towards the Climate <br />Recovery Ordinance goals by increasing usage of electrical vehicle <br />charging stations , converting system that are higher users of fossil fuels <br />system (e .g . chillers , lights) to more efficient and lower fossil fuel use <br />building systems, and pursue Parksmart certification (certification <br />prog ram for sustainable and innovating parking structures) for parking <br />garages . <br />By Resolution 4608 , the City Council adopted the Design Standards and <br />Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Access ways <br />which includes des ign guidelines for on-street parking. The Design standards <br />and guidelines do not address application of paid park ing but state that: <br />2) Appropriate levels of on-street parking should be provided on certain <br />streets to : <br />a) Increase pedestrian comfort of safety by buffering pedestrians from <br />automobile traffic ; <br />Exhibit A to Administrative Order No . 53-19 -01 -F --Page 12 of 17
