ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
of the
Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene
CHAMBERS STREET - INSTALLATION OF BIKE LANES
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 bike lanes on Chambers Street,
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 Chambers Street between 18th
Avenue and 24th Avenue shall have on-street bike lanes;
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 proposed street design requires on-street parking be prohibited on Chambers
Street on the west side between 18th Avenue and 24th Avenue, and on the east side
between 23rd Avenue and 24th Avenue, and allows on-street parking to remain along the
east side between 19th Avenue and 23rd Avenue;
6. Providing separate bicycle facilities in this corridor will provide safer conditions
for bicycle travel and other travel modes on Chambers Street. The final design is in
conformance with traffic engineering standards; and
7. The City provided a notice to owners\occupants of the proposed bike lane project
in May of 1994, and received a small number of verbal comments from the affected
parties, primarily opposed to the loss of on-street parking. These concerns were
responded to directly by staff.
Now, Therefore,
Based upon the aforementioned findings, and pursuant to the authority provided in the
Eugene Code, the Traffic Engineer orders that:
1. Bike lanes shall be marked along both sides of Chambers Street between 18th
Avenue and 24th Avenue; and
2. On-street parking shall be removed along the west side of Chambers Street
between 18th Avenue and 24th Avenue and along the east side between 23rd Avenue and
24th Avenue.
