Administrative Order -- Page 2 of 5 <br />(a) Traffic engineering principles and traffic investigations. <br /> <br />i. Classification - The portion of W 9th Place between Garfield Street and Hayes Street as <br />shown in Exhibit A is classified as a local street with a speed limit of 20 miles per hour. <br />The street segment is approximately 36 feet wide with parking both sides of the street, <br />allowing approximately 20 feet of roadway for two-way travel in a mixed commercial and <br />residential area. Sidewalks are present on both sides of the street. There are no bike lanes. <br />ii. Vehicle Crashes - There were no motor vehicle crashes reported between 2007 and 2020 <br />on the portion of W 9th Place north of W 11th Avenue. <br /> <br />(b) Standards, limitations, and rules promulgated by the Oregon Transportation Commission or <br />the Oregon Public Utility Commission or their successors. <br /> <br />There are no such standards, limitations or rules that apply. <br /> <br />(c) Other recognized traffic control standards. <br /> <br />The City will apply the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for size, type and <br />location for sign installation. <br /> <br />(d) The city’s adopted transportation-related plans and policies. <br /> <br />The City’s 2035 Transportation System Plan does not include any policies that specifically <br />relate to the provision or removal of on-street parking in commercial areas. Roadway and <br />Parking Policy No. 1 a “Complete Streets Policy,” is to “Design, construct, maintain, and <br />operate all streets to provide comprehensive and integrated transportation networks that <br />serve people of all ages and abilities, promote commerce, and support the comprehensive <br />land 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, bicycles, <br />walking, transit, and freight. In addition to fulfilling a street’s basic transportation functions <br />and providing access to properties, streets and sidewalks should be designed to be <br />attractive, safe, accessible, sustainable, and healthy components of the City's <br />environment.” Limiting parking to only the parking needed to ensure a traffic network that <br />allows safe travel for automobiles and emergency responders, bicycles, walking, transit, <br />and—importantly for this commercial / industrial area—freight is consistent with this <br />policy. <br /> <br />(e) Existing state and local laws regulating use of public ways. <br /> <br />The use of the City’s public ways for parking is regulated at the local level. EC <br />5.040(1)(h)(5) and EC 5.040(1)(p) establish authority to manage parking. <br />
