ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-20-14 of the Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene AMENDING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-13-10 TO RESCIND PARTS OF ORDER THAT PERTAIN TO PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE OF OAK STREET BETWEEN 19™ AND 20TH STREETS AND THEREBY AUTHORIZING REINSTATEMENT OF SAID PARKING. The Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene finds that: A. EC 5.040 authorizes the City Manager or the Manager's designee to take administrative action to "establish, maintain, remove, or alter . . . parking areas and time limitations, including the form of permissible parking" and to "impose conditions upon which the streets and other public property may be used for parking." EC 5.055 sets forth the criteria the City Manager or the City Manager's designee should consider when taking administrative action authorized by EC 5.040. B. On September 24, 2009, the City Manager issued Administrative Order No. 58-09- 14 granting the Traffic Engineer of the Public Works Department the authority to exercise all of the duties and responsibilities specifically defined as those of the City Manager in Section 5.040 and 5.050 of the Eugene Code, 1971. C. Pursuant to that authority, on June 3, 2013 , the Traffic Engineer issued Administrative Order No. 58-13-10 ordering that (1) parking be removed from the west side of S. Willamette from 20th to 23 rd ; (2) parking be removed from the east side of Oak Street from 19th to 20th ; and (3) the southbound right turn only lane on S. Willamette approaching 18 th be removed and the intersection approach be restriped to include bike lanes. D. The removal of parking from the east side of Oak Street between 19th and 20th was necessary to accommodate the installation of bike lanes on Oak Street. Those bike lanes are now being moved to Willamette Street and, therefore, it is in the public interest to restore parking to the east side of Oak Street from 19th to 20th. E. By Administrative Order No. 58-17-08, the City Manager appointed me as the City's Traffic Engineer. On the basis of these findings, I order that: 1. Administrative Order No. 58-13-10 is amended to rescind the parts of the Order pertaining to removal of parking from the east side of Oak Street from 19th to 20th, including deleting the following text and renumbering the sections that follow it: 2. Parking be removed from the east side of Oak Street from 19th to 20th. This parking restriction will be in place at all times. Administrative Order --Page 1 of 2
