. Principle 1 on page 5 more appropriately defines the condition this order seeks to obtain by simplifying the ingress and egress, drop off, and parking activities that will result from the relocation of the City Library. This will ensure that "Local streets help determine the form and character of neighborhoods; street design should be considered a part of neighborhood design. " The City also has several adopted transportation-related Policies and Suggested Implementation Strategies developed in the Central Area Transportation Study (CATS) adopted in April of 1993 as the Central Eugene Parking and Traffic Circulation Plan. These include: . Policy 14.0 on page 41 states that the City should "Maintain or improve the operation of the street system for pedestrians, bicycles, transit, and automobiles. " One of the Suggested Strategies to implement the Proposed Policy on page 41 of the study states that we should "IdentifY one-way streets that should be converted to two-way operation." Although neither of these street segments were recommended for conversion, the new library was not a consideration at the time and the segments analyzed were both longer than those contained in this action. The Downtown Vision, on page 11 under Key Next Steps, contains the goal that we: . "Re-establish two way traffic in the downtown core wherever possible. " (e) Existing state and local laws regulating use of public ways. . Provisions of the Oregon Vehicle Code will continue to apply after the changes have been made. No laws conflict with the proposed action. (f) The efficient use of the public way by the public. . The proposed re-designations will have a positive effect on the use of the public way by the public, as motorists will have optional routes and more direct access to and from destinations within the converted area. (g) The use of abutting property. . The land uses on either side of both streets will not be affected by this action.
