<br />RESOLUTION NO. 4919 <br /> <br />A RESOLUTION CONCERNING STREETS WIDTHS IN THE CREST <br />DRIVE AREA, AND AMENDING THE CITY'S DESIGN STANDARDS <br />AND GUIDELINES FOR EUGENE STREETS SIDEWALKS, BIKEWAYS <br />AND ACCESSW A YS, THE EUGENE ARTERIAL & COLLECTOR <br />STREET PLAN, AND THE EUGENE LOCAL STREET PLAN. <br /> <br />The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: <br /> <br />A. The City Council adopted the November 1999 Eugene Street Classification Map <br />by Ordinance No. 20181 on November 22, 1999, with the streets in the Crest Drive Area left <br />unclassified pending a study to determine the appropriate classifications and design standards for <br />the neighborhood. <br /> <br />B. Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and <br />Accessways (Design Standards and Guidelines) were also adopted by the City Council on <br />November 22, 1999 by Resolution No. 4608. These Design Standards and Guidelines are also <br />set forth in the Eugene Arterial and Collector Street Plan adopted as findings in support of <br />Ordinance No. 20181, and street width recommendations are reflected in the Eugene Local Street <br />Plan adopted as findings in support of Ordinance No. 20056. The minimum width allowed under <br />the design standards for local streets and neighborhood streets is 20 feet. <br /> <br />C. The City Council directed the City Manager to implement the Crest Drive <br />Neighborhood context sensitive solutions (CSS) process on May 8, 2006, with CSS defined as: <br /> <br />Context sensitive solutions is a collaborative, interdisciplinary project <br />development approach that involves all stakeholders to develop a transportation <br />facility that fits its physical setting while maintaining safety and mobility for all <br />users, and reflecting community needs. The goal of CSS is to create early, open, <br />honest, and continuous communication and sharing of information and knowledge <br />throughout the design process. <br /> <br />D. The City conducted a topographic survey of all of the streets under consideration, <br />including all of the trees within the public right-of-way. The City's survey crew surveyed over <br />15,000 data points including the existing edge of pavement, property comers, public and private <br />utilities, structures and trees. All of this survey information was used to generate a set of maps to <br />aid in the street design process. <br /> <br />E. The design process involved City staff working with five separate street teams on <br />five separate street segments - Upper Crest, Middle Crest, Lower Crest, Storey and Friendly. <br />Each street team presented its conceptual design to the entire Crest Drive Community Team <br />(CDCT). As part of the design process, each street team evaluated its design using the Themes <br />and Values developed and approved by the CDCT. <br /> <br />Resolution - 1 <br />
