ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
of the
Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene
11 TH AVENUE - INSTALLATION OF BIKE LANE AND THIRD TRAVEL LANE
The Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene finds that:
1. The Eugene Code, Section 5.040 provides that the City Manager (or designee) shall
exercise specific traffic duties by administrative action, including: the implementation of
ordinances, resolutions, and motions of the council and his or her own orders by installing traffic
control devices; and establishing, maintaining, removing or altering all traffic control areas and
traffic control devices;
2. The administrative action taken to provide for a bike lane and a third auto lane on 11 th
Avenue, and the resulting removal of on-street parking and other necessary changes to traffic
controls, is based on consideration of, and compliance with, the criteria set forth in Eugene Code,
Section 5.055;
3. The Eugene Bikeways Masterplan designates that 11 th Avenue between Kincaid Street
and Chambers Street shall have an on-street bike lane. TransPlan and the Jefferson Area
Refinement Plan identify 11 th Avenue as having three westbound auto travel lanes from Hilyard
Street to Garfield Street;
4. The project is consistent with the City Council's transportation goal of promoting
alternative modes of transportation, and other adopted state and local plans and laws;
5. The City Council appointed a special subcommittee (Council Subcommittee on 1994
Bikeways Projects) in June of 1994, to specifically examine mitigation of the effects of parking
removal in the Westside Neighborhood. The City Council subsequently approved a set of
recommendations for 11 th Avenue based on the subcommittee's final report, which shall be
implemented concurrently with the bike lane;
6. The proposed street design requires on-street parking be prohibited along both sides of
11 th Avenue between Charnelton Street and Jefferson Street. Along the north side of 11 th
Avenue between Lincoln Street and Lawrence Street, a new parking bay will be constructed to
mitigate the parking loss. On-street parking on Lawrence Street south of 11 th Avenue will be
regulated to provide additional short-term parking;
7. Providing a separate bicycle facility in this corridor will provide safer conditions for
bicycle travel and other travel modes on 11 th Avenue. The final design is in conformance with
traffic engineering standards; and
8. The City provided a notice to owners\occupants of the proposed bike lane project in
May of 1994, and received a number of written and verbal comments from the affected parties,
primarily opposed to the loss of on-street parking. These concerns were responded to directly by
staff and/or through the work of the council subcommittee.
Now, Therefore,
Based upon the aforementioned findings, and pursuant to the authority provided in the Eugene
Code, the Traffic Engineer orders that:
1. A bike lane shall be marked along the north side of 11 th Avenue between Lincoln Street
and Jefferson Street;
2. A third westbound auto travel lane shall be marked along the south side of 11 th Avenue
between Charnelton Street and Jefferson Street;
3. On-street parking shall be removed along both sides of 11 th Avenue between
Charnelton Street and Jefferson Street (except as provided for below); and
4. The mitigation measures outlined in the final report of the Council Subcommittee on
1994 Bikeways Projects be implemented concurrently with the installation of the bike lane,
including: parking changes outlined in Finding #6, and the construction of a new parking bay
along the north side of 11 th Avenue between Lincoln Street and Lawrence Street.
