SUBJECT: REMOVAL OF THE CHESHIRE STREET DIVERTER
Under City of Eugene Resolution No. 2414, traffic diverters are placed and
located by administrative order of the City Manager with review of that ac-
tion by the Eugene City Council. By previous actions and motion of the City
Council on August 10, 1981, it was decided to leave the IItemporary barrierll
on Cheshire Street "in place until there is another option for resolution
11
On the basis of the staff memoranda dated August 4, 1981 and April 30, 1984,
and the record of the public hearing of August 10,1981, I hearby make the
following findings:
1. Since the fall of 1983 there have been at least 5 public meetings and
workshops in the Whiteaker Community regarding the Cheshire Diverter.
2. Results of the meetings have been distributed to all Whiteaker house-
holds via the neighborhood newsletter.
3. There has been a change in the affected area such that the initial
proponents of the diverter, the Whiteaker Community Council, now sup-
port its removal.
4. An effective option to the diverter now exists in that raised cross-
walks at four nearby locations on Cheshire Street will help control
traffic speed and enhance pedestrian movement.
5. The removal of the diverter will not significantly degrade the resi-
dential living environment in the West Eugene area.
6. The removal of the diverter will enhance:
a. pedestrian and bicycle circulation (by facilitating in-
stallation of crosswalks and removal of a physical barrier),
b. emergency vehicle service (by removal of physical barrier to
vehicles), and
c. delivery of public services (by removal of physical barrier
to vehicles).
Based on these findings, I hereby direct the removal of the Cheshire Street
diverter on or before July 1, 1984.
