One ordinance <br />would classify all of the streets in the Crest Drive Area as local streets. An alternative ordinance <br />would classify portions of Crest Drive, Storey Boulevard and Friendly Street as neighborhood <br />collectors and the remaining streets in the Crest Drive Area as local streets. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />City Council Action History <br />The City Council adopted the November 1999 Eugene Street Classification Map with the <br />adoption of Ordinance Number 20181 on November 22, 1999. The Street Classification Map <br />included the following note in the map legend: “Classifications to be Determined Following <br />Adoption of Crest Drive Area Transportation Study.” <br /> <br />The City Council approved the design for Crest Drive, Storey Boulevard and Friendly Street <br />(Attachment C is a map of the three streets) as recommended by the Crest Drive Community <br />Team on April 14, 2008. The street design was developed following a context sensitive <br />solutions process approved by the City Council on May 8, 2006. <br /> <br />Eugene Code 9.6850 stipulates that amendments to the Street Classification Map shall be made <br />by adoption of an ordinance. <br /> <br />The City Council passed the following motion as amended on April 14, 2008: “… direct the City <br />Manager to 1) request the Planning Commission to investigate classifying Friendly Street, Crest <br />Drive and Storey Boulevard as local streets and 2) if the Planning Commission approves that <br />classification to bring to the council an ordinance adopting that classification.” <br /> <br />Z:\CMO\2008 Council Agendas\M081027\S0810273.doc <br /> <br />
