Many pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users who <br />must cross 30 Avenue during a trip, or to access transit stops or <br />th <br />school sites, have expressed a desire for a safer street crossing that is <br />easy to use. <br /> <br />Many of the concerns have been submitted on behalf of students who <br />attend Camas Ridge Elementary School. School consolidation has <br />increased the travel shed for students, and many live south of 30 <br />th <br />Avenue. While some of these students and parents walking to school <br />together can use the pedestrian bridge, it is difficult for families with <br />strollers or large bicycles (especially those with tag-along trailer bikes <br />or other loads) to use the existing structure that was designed for <br />pedestrian access (though it does contain a bike channel on the <br />stairwell). <br /> <br />Another group of concerned users are transit riders, especially users of the 81, 82, and 92 LTD routes who board at 30 <br />th <br />and University. Some transit-users have mobility limitations (such as powered mobility devices) that would prevent them <br />from using the pedestrian bridge. In December 2012, an individual in a wheelchair was struck by an automobile while <br />crossing 30 Avenue at University. <br />th <br /> <br />A meeting to discuss pedestrian crossings on 30 Avenue from Harris Street to University Street in south Eugene is <br />th <br />scheduled for Thursday, May 23, at 6 p.m., in the cafeteria at Camas Ridge Elementary School, 1150 East 29 Avenue. The <br />th <br />purpose of the meeting is to share existing conditions information such as traffic volume and speed data and to solicit <br />community opinions about current crossing conditions. Based on the outcome of this meeting and the evaluation of traffic <br />data, a second meeting to discuss infrastructure changes may be scheduled. <br /> <br />For more information, visit the website at www.eugene-or.gov/30thcrossing or contact Reed Dunbar, transportation <br />planner, at 541-682-5727. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />May 16, 2013 <br />
