Willamette Street Crossin s The addition of approximately S,QOO northbound vehicles per day to Willamette Street between 13th and 20th Avenues will adversely affect the ability of pedestrians, bicycles, as well as vehicles to cross Willamette street. Not only will there be less tame between vehicles in the traffic stream, but there will be two stream directions instead of one. The major crossings of Willamette street are: for bicycles at 15th Avenue, and far pedestrians especially the elderly at loth avenue. Neither intersection alone meets signal warrants as set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. We should not expect that these two crossin s 9 could be combined in order to signalise one of the intersections. 15th Avenue is a well established crosstown bike route extending from the University of Ore on to the Fern Ride Path• ~ , g g , and the current elderly signed crossing links dest~na- tions which are south of 16th Avenue on both sides of Willamette. The solution proposed in this study is to reduce the distance of the crassin s 9 and provide better sight distance by extending the curblines at both intersec4 tons 6-feet into the parking lanes on both sides of Willamette Street. This will reduce the distance of the crossing from 48-feet to 3fi-feet, and lace the edestrian or c clist at P p y a point where they can see beyond any parked vehicles. The estimated cast at each ~ntersect~on would be $25,OOo and is included in projects 2~ and 30 listed above. Page 6
