(a) The transportation and economic development goals adopted by the city council; The City of Eugene has several adopted transportation-related plans and policies, including the Eugene-Springfield Area Transportation Plan (2002), Pedestrian Bicycle Master Plan (2012), Climate Recovery Ordinance (2016), and Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Access ways. The Eugene-Springfield Area Transportation Plan (TRANSPLAN) was adopted as amended by Council Ordinance Number 20258 on July 8, 2002. TRANSPLAN TOM Policy #2 Parking Management Policy Definition/Intent states: "Parking management strategies address both the supply and demand for vehicle parking. They contribute to balancing travel demand within the region among the various modes of transportation available. To promote parking equity in the region, consideration should be given to applying parking management strategies at a region-wide level , in addition to downtown centers. TRANSPLAN further identifies Parking Management Demand Strategy 2.2 "Shift free parking areas to paid parking where appropriate. " The Eugene Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan provides the City of Eugene with the projects and policies necessary to create a first-class city for bicycling and walking, reduce overall carbon emissions, and provide for a well-designed, integrated, safe, and efficient multi-modal transportation system . The City of Eugene currently has a total of 157 miles of bikeways (41 miles of shared-use paths, 81 miles of bike lanes , and 35 miles of signed routes). This Plan proposes that the City of Eugene develop 25.2 miles of sidewalks, 12.1 miles of shared-use facilities, and 110.9 miles of bikeways within the next 20 years. The plan was accepted by Council on March 12 , 2012. Eugene Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Policy 3.1 is to ensure high quality, flexible and secure bicycle parking at all destinations, and ensure that bicycle parking is considered when parks, schools, and other public facilities are planned. The parking system has converted on-street parking spaces to pedestrian and bicycle facilities, such as bike lanes on 13th Avenue. Plans over the next few years will convert additional parking spaces to bicycle lanes on Lincoln, 13th Avenue, and High Street. The conversion of parking spaces reduces the supply of parking and increases vehicle parking demand, while also providing more connected bicycle ways. The Parking Enterprise Fund also pays for the installation of on-street bike corrals and bicycle parking on sidewalks. Exhibit A to Administrative Order No. 53-19-01-F --Page 14 of 17
