THE CITY MANAGER
COP'Y
CI'llY OF EUGENE
Under the provisions of Section 5.040 of the Eugene Code, 1971,

remove parking areas and time limitations, including the form of
permissible parking.
The City Manager finds that:
A. The West University Refinement Plan (WURP), and businesses
and institutions within the West University Neighborhood have iden-
tified numerous transportation and parking problems within the neigh-
borhood. A function problem exists because of the heavy automobile
traffic passing through the area or using the area for storage, and
even though LTD busses are heavily used, LTD is unable to add ~o its
service in the area because of revenue shortages and lack of avail-
able fleet.
B. This area has been targeted in the WURP for:
1. Development and implementation of carpooling and
other programs designed to reduce automobile traffic;
2. The active encouragement of the use of bicycles,
mass transit, walking, carpooling, and other appropriate
modes of transportation, especially by employees within
the area, in order to reduce automobile dependency and to
alleviate traffic and parking problems;
3. The provision of incentives for alternative
modes of transportation that will discourage single occu-
pant vehicles in the area; and,
4. Encouragement by the Paratransit program to em-
ployment centers such as the University of Oregon, North-
west Christian College, Sacred Heart, and commercial and
governmental centers to participate in the paratransit
program.
C. Development of alternative modes of transportation 13 also
a major component of the T-2000 Plan.
D. The TAKEP.?\HT Carpool program ha.s identific~d a program of
reserving certain parking spaces for carpoolers of two or more dur-
ing certain hours as a program consistent with the above objectives
within this area and has requested that tl1C' program be implernr:>nted.
