investments, respond to the needs of system users, be context sens1t1ve, and <br />distribute the benefits and impacts of transportation decisions fairly throughout the <br />City. <br />Goal 5: By the year 2035 triple the percentage of trips made on foot, by bicycle, <br />and by transit from 2014 levels. <br />System-Wide Policies <br />1. Foster neighborhoods where Eugene residents could meet most of their basic <br />daily needs without an automobile by providing streets, sidewalks, bikeways, and <br />access to transit in an inviting environment where all travelers feel safe and secure. <br />2. Consider safety first when making transportation decisions. Strive for zero <br />transportation-related fatalities and severe injuries by reducing the number and <br />severity of crashes through design, operations, maintenance, education, and <br />enforcement. In furtherance of the City Council's adopted Vision Zero Action Plan <br />(Administrative Order 58-18-04), prioritize safety improvements for people who <br />walk, bike and use mobility devices because no loss of life or serious injury on our <br />streets is acceptable. <br />3. Improve community health by designing streets and paths to encourage increased <br />physical activity by the public. <br />Potential Actions for System-Wide Policies <br />C. Create a strategy to facilitate 90 percent of Eugene residences to be within <br />"20-minute neighborhoods." The strategy might include methods to improve <br />proximity of residences to services and prioritizing projects that improve <br />convenience and safety for walking, biking, and connections to transit stops. <br />Roadway and Parking Policies <br />1. ["Complete Streets Policy"] Design, construct, maintain, and operate all streets <br />to provide comprehensive and integrated transportation networks that serve people <br />of all ages and abilities, promote commerce, and support the comprehensive land <br />use plan's vision for growth and development in a responsible and efficient manner. <br />A "complete street" allows safe travel for automobiles and emergency responders, <br />bicycles, walking, transit, and freight. In addition to fulfilling a street's basic <br />transportation functions and providing access to properties, streets and sidewalks <br />should be designed to be attractive, safe, accessible, sustainable, and healthy <br />components of the City's environment. <br />Administrative Order --Page 3 of 5
