removal of previously constructed infrastructure to arrive at a functional and cost effective solution." 7. Modify Proposed Implementation Strategy 1.1 discussion as follows: · "8th Avenue between Jeffer~so~ Lincoln Street and Oak Street. This segment of the roadway has two travel lanes regulated as one-way westbound with on-street parking on both sides of the roadway. Conversion would require the reconstruction of signals at Wash:mgton, Lincoln, Charnelton (if not accomplished with those conversions), Olive, Willamette, and Oak streets. Further conversion to two-way operation between Oak Street and Mill Street may be possible following development of the new Federal Courthouse circulation plan. Due to narrow existing street width, conversion to two-way operation between Jefferson Street and Lincoln Street will also require further study to address the need for on- street parking, any future bicycle facilities and traffic operations." 8. Modify Proposed Implementation Strategy 1.1 discussion as follows: · "Willamette Street from 13th Avenue to 20th Avenue. This segment currently has two one-way southbound lanes from 13th Avenue to 19th Avenue merging into a single lane between 19th Avenue and 20th Avenue. There is additional channelization at 18th Avenue with four southbound lanes designated as: left-only, two through-only and one right-turn-only lanes. This would require the reconstruction of traffic signals at 13th Avenue and 18th Avenue and removal of the channelization island at 20th Avenue. The intersection of Willamette Street at 18th Avenue has significant capacity and operational constraints with conversion to two-way operation and would only be feasible with movement restrictions (northbound and eastbound left turn prohibitions). The relocation of Fire Station th #1 to the southwest corner of Willamette Street at 13 Avenue is prompting a th th review of conversion of Willamette Street between 13 Avenue and 16 Avenue~ ........ ~:~maems~24) Avemte. Due to the complexi~ of operations in the segment be~een 1~h and 2~h avenues, further analysis is warranted before conversion from one-way to ~o-way operation. Furore study and analysis should include consideration of business access and parMng, and adjacent neighborhood parMng and circulation through public outreach." 9. Add new Proposed Implementation Strategy 1.5 as follows: 1.5 "Fund traffic study for overall north-south arterial traffic flow through downtown to south Eugene. Discussion: The 2003 update to the Central Area Transportation Study acknowledges that there is a demand for a Major Arterial to serve travel in a north-south direction from the downtown core within the CATS study area to the south end of Eugene. Such a study is beyond the scope of the 2003 CATS
