Modification of parking allowances on W 10th Avenue is needed for more efficient use of the roadway by ensuring adequate parking remains available for access to the adjacent city park.

(h) The intensity of use of the street by vehicles and pedestrians. i. By Ordinance No. 20181, the City Council adopted the Street Classification Map that designated W 10th Avenue as a local street. By Resolution 4608, the City Council adopted the Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Access Ways. Parking is an optional feature on streets. ii. There are sidewalks on both sides of the street segment. This order will not impact, and may improve, accessibility of use by pedestrians. (i) The physical condition and characteristics of the street and abutting property. i. The portion of W 10th Avenue south of Monroe Park as shown in Exhibit A is classified as a local street with a speed limit of 20 miles per hour. The street segment is approximately 34 feet wide with parking on both sides of the street, allowing approximately 20 feet of roadway for two-way travel in a residential neighborhood. Sidewalks are present on both sides of the street. There are no bike lanes. There is a diverter at the western end of the street segment, forcing west-bound traffic south onto Adams Street. ii. The abutting properties on the southern side of the street segment include four (4) residential properties, two (2) with adjoining driveways. The northern side of the street segment borders Monroe Park. (j) Emergencies. i. Emergency service vehicles are accommodated through bi-directional travel on W 10th Avenue. Modification of parking will not impede and may provide additional room for travel and deployment of emergency vehicles. ii. W 10th Avenue is not designated as an emergency ice or snow removal route. (k) The public health, safety and welfare. Extended on-street parking taking place in this area has resulted in a lack of parking for access to the adjacent public park.
