ISSUE STATEMENT
The council will receive an update on the development of a Context Sensitive Solutions Process for
identified sections of Crest Drive, Storey Boulevard and Friendly Street within the Crest Drive
Neighborhood. The council will also be requested to direct the City Manager to implement the Context
Sensitive Solutions Process in anticipation of a General Fund appropriation of $240,000 in FY07.
BACKGROUND
On January 24, 2005, the City Council held a work session to review and discuss the principles of
context sensitive design and options for moving forward with the design of street improvements for
Crest Drive, Storey Boulevard and Friendly Street in the Crest Drive Neighborhood. At the work
session, there was general agreement that doing nothing was not a viable option and that the issues
around street design should be addressed prior to addressing the issue of street classification.
At a subsequent work session on June 29, 2005, the City Council agreed with the City Manager’s
recommendation to direct staff to work with the Crest Drive neighborhood to develop a context sensitive
design process for the identified sections of Crest, Storey and Friendly. As directed, elements of the
process will include objectives and goals, a decision-making model, public involvement and outreach
strategies, interested parties and stakeholder group identification and schedule.
Since June 2005, Public Works transportation planning staff has been working closely with a
transportation subcommittee of the Crest Drive Citizen Association (CDCA) to respond to City Council
direction. The Crest Drive Neighborhood Context Sensitive Solutions Process is underway following the
convening of a Crest Drive Community Team (CDCT). The CDCT includes 21 representatives selected
by a transportation subcommittee of the Crest Drive Citizen Association, and includes property owners
on the identified streets in the study area, at-large neighborhood representatives, a transportation
planning staff member from Public Works Engineering Division, and the City Engineer.
On March 9, the CDCT held the first of three scheduled meetings designed to develop group agreements
focusing on parameters for decision-making, communications, and meetings for a context sensitive
design solutions (CSS) process for the identified sections of Crest Drive, Storey Boulevard and Friendly
Street. The group agreement development and consensus training was facilitated by volunteer
facilitators Josh Reckord and Bill Kentta. Concurrent to the group agreement workshops, a
L:\CMO\2006 Council Agendas\M060508\S060508C.doc
subcommittee of the CDCT conducted a facilitator search process, and conducted interviews to select a
facilitator to work with the group for the duration of the CSS process. The group completed the
selection process, conducted candidate interviews, and made a recommendation to the full CDCT to hire
Margot Helphand, of Helphand & Associates.
On April 20, the CDCT held the first meeting of Crest Drive Neighborhood CSS process, facilitated by
Margot Helphand. At that meeting, the group agreement process was completed, including agreements
on CDCT communication. It is anticipated that the group will formally sign the completed group
agreement at its May 4 meeting. At that time, the group will also begin framing the project work plan,
which will include the development of a comprehensive public involvement process to reach a broad
range of stakeholders, including property owners, residents of the Crest Drive neighborhood, transit
users, bicyclists, and the general public.
On April 24, 2006, the City Manager presented the FY07 Proposed Budget to the Budget Committee.
The FY07 Proposed Budget includes a General Fund appropriation of $240,000 for implementation of
the Crest Drive Neighborhood Context Sensitive Solutions process. The portion of the appropriation
allocated to the Context Sensitive Solutions process would be funded by the City. The portion of the
appropriation allocated to the engineering and design normally associated with a street improvement
project would be incorporated into a future local improvement district.
At the May 8, 2006, City Council work session, Public Works transportation planning staff will provide
a summary of the process developed by the CDCT for the Crest Drive Neighborhood CSS process, and
will provide an overview of the context sensitive solutions principles framing the process.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
The Arterial and Collector Street Plan, along with the Local Street Plan, focus on the continued
development of a multi-modal street system for the city of Eugene that accommodates all users of the
transportation system. Together, these two plans provide an essential set of tools to help the City
implement key aspects of the transportation-related policies contained in the Eugene-Springfield
Transportation System Plan (TransPlan), and the Growth Management Study. These policies promote
livability by maintaining and enhancing mobility and safety for all modes of surface transportation,
including automobiles, bicycles, pedestrians, transit vehicles, emergency responders, and freight
vehicles.
COUNCIL OPTIONS
The City Council may:
1. Direct the City Manager to implement the Crest Drive Neighborhood context sensitive solutions
process in anticipation of a General Fund appropriation of $240,000 in FY07.
2. Direct the City Manager to not implement the Crest Drive Neighborhood context sensitive solutions
process.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager recommends that the City Council direct him to move forward with the
implementation of a context sensitive solutions process within the collaborative framework developed
L:\CMO\2006 Council Agendas\M060508\S060508C.doc
by the Crest Drive Community Team. The process will honor the group agreements and decision-
making model developed by the Crest Drive Community Team, and will include the development and
implementation of a project work plan, public involvement plan, and design development for a preferred
street design for Crest, Storey and Friendly. The City Manager will provide an update to the council on
the process implementation during development of alternative street design options, and prior to the
development of a preferred alternative.
SUGGESTED MOTION
Move to direct the City Manager to implement the Crest Drive Neighborhood Context Sensitive
Solutions Process in anticipation of a General Fund appropriation of $240,000 in FY07.

Context sensitive solutions (CSS) is a
collaborative, interdisciplinary
project development approach that
involves all stakeholders to develop a
transportation facility that fits its
physical setting while maintaining
safety and mobility for all users, and
reflecting community needs. The
goal of CSS is to create early, open,

Decision Making Group
This group discussed how decisions would be made. Options included majority vote, super
majority, sufficient consensus, or consensus models. They discussed the process of consensus
building and also discussed what roles would be assumed during the decision making process.
1.Consensus Decision Making Model
a.Consensus does not mean unanimity. It does not mean everyone gets his/her first
choice. Rather, it means that everyone is sufficiently in favor of an idea that no
one will be an obstacle in carrying it out (no one will sabotage the decision)
b.Everyone understands the issues and can paraphrase it
c.Everyone contributes resources and shares info
d.Everyone can “go along” with an idea (if not for perpetuity- at least for a trial
period of time)
e.If consensus cannot be reached. The discussion is automatically recycled for
more information
f.Note: Each person can say: “I believe I have been heard and understood”
g.Note: The essential vehicle for testing for consensus is the survey- a non-binding
opportunity for participants to speak and be heard and to share information
Breakout Group Presentations
After the breakout sessions finished, the group rejoined to listen to brief presentations made by
representatives of each breakout group. The entire committee was then surveyed on their level of
support for the content of their proposals. Results follow:

comments included the following:
?
Appreciation for positive energy and
attitudes during the meeting wrap-up
?
Appreciation for positive energy
throughout the entire meeting
?
Found the consensus building
process interesting

?
Thought the group spent a lot of time
on process
?
Enjoyed hearing resident’s histories
in the Crest Drive neighborhood
Page 7 of 27
Following the group comment period, Josh Reckord provided two comments regarding last week’s
meeting. First, he noted the group will need to develop a “support group” to carry out administrative
tasks and work directly with the chosen facilitator throughout the process. Second, he appreciated the
group process and the participants’ positive attitudes. During this time, a suggestion was made to use
th
more visible name plates as opposed to small name tags. City staff will bring nameplates to the April 6
meeting. Two questions were asked during this item.
?
Question: Why does the group need time limits for agenda items?
Answer: The allotted time for agenda items is necessary to keep the meetings moving
o
forward smoothly. It was also suggested that if additional time was needed, it could be
scheduled into the following meeting agenda.
?
Question: What is a “Support Group”?
Answer: The support group would assist with administrative, communication, and
o
scheduling tasks throughout the entire process.
Continue Building Group Agreements
This item was a continuation of building group agreements from the previous meeting. Josh introduced
the item and then opened it up for questions and comments from participants. Comments, questions and
answers follow:
Decision-Making
?
Comment: There was interest in information and discussion about other methods of group
decision-making (in addition to the consensus model).
Response: The group may use the consensus model to decide to change the decision-
o
making process at any time.
?
Question: “Doesn’t the consensus model require starting from a question?”
Answer from Josh: Not necessarily, there are multiple definitions for consensus-building.
o
?
Question: “Why does the group have to spend time on the process?”
Answer 1: The group decided to go this route.
o
Answer 2: We first needed to work out agreements on how to work together as a group.
o
Answer 3: This is a compromise to get all the interests at/on the table.
o
Answer 4: The process will require more time initially, however will be more efficient in
o
the long run. It is important to get decision-making agreements out of the way first.
Answer 5: The neighborhood group passed a motion to use this process.
o
?
Comments: The group needs a method/process of information sharing and communication with
committee members absent from previous meetings. Alternates also need to be in the
information loop. All participants, including alternates, will be included in the distribution list.
Response: A motion was made to create the information sharing method/process.
o
?
Question: What other methods of decision making are there besides consensus?
Response: Simply majority, majority, unanimity, plurality, etc… The group can make
o
this decision using consensus.
?
Question: Will there be veto power? If so, it must be written into operating rules.
?
Discussion: The group discussed the consensus building process with Josh. Josh clarified that in
a consensus building process, one person’s veto cannot stop the process. He noted that further
clarity would be provided during the “Interests” discussion.

Immediately following this survey, several clarifying questions were asked.
?
Question: Who are the voting members?
Response: The whole committee including City staff.
o
?
Question: Can the decision making process be changed later on?
Response: Yes, if the group makes this decision using a consensus process
o
?
Question: Please succinctly describe/explain consensus?
Response: “We build decisions, we don’t decide them.”
o
Response: Consensus means if someone disagrees, they come forward to the next
o
meeting with an alternate proposal.
?
Question: What if the City doesn’t agree?
Response: The City cannot override adopted mandates. These boundaries will be
o
discussed in the next meeting.
Following these clarifying questions, the group was surveyed with a show of thumbs-up, thumbs-down
to indicate support for using the consensus model for decision-making. The results were: 20 thumbs-up
and 0 down, indicating strong support for the consensus model.
Meetings and Communication
Participants discussed meeting agendas, duration, scheduling, start and end times, and the potential for
including allotted public comment time into agendas. Notes from the discussion follow:
?
Several participants were concerned that 1 ½ hours was an inadequate amount of time for
meetings
?
Some suggested that 2 hours would be more appropriate and productive
?
Several participants were concerned about meetings going beyond 2 hours
?
Some were also concerned that bi-weekly meetings would be too frequent; monthly meetings or
a more flexible schedule was suggested
?
Participants preferred a regular day for meetings and most agreed that Thursdays would work
best
After the discussion, participants were surveyed on meeting duration, schedule, and agenda. The results
follow:

Building an Assumption/Inference Wall
4
This activity was designed to surface any preexisting assumptions or inferences
3
participants are bringing to the process. As defined by Josh,
2
?
1
To assume is to take for granted as truth without verification
?
To infer is to draw a conclusion about something you do not know on the basis of something you
do know
Following a group discussion about assumptions and inferences, participants recorded their own
assumptions and inferences about the Crest Drive Area Transportation Study on note cards which were
taped to the wall. These statements follow:
?
“If we don’t lose hope, and if we keep working, we will get the streets we want, and our process
will become the model for all of Eugene”
?
“The members of our group live in our neighborhood not to develop/speculate (their property),
but because they want to live in the neighborhood”
?
“Neighbors don’t trust the city”
?
“No good will come of this process”
?
“All three streets & groups from three streets want what’s best for all three streets & the
residents on each- they aren’t just focused on their street”
?
“The roads will be redone in the Crest Neighborhood”
?
“The Crest/Friendly Area Neighbors don’t want their neighborhood to change”
?
“The street improvements will invite more, and faster traffic”
?
“The cost will be astronomical”
?
“The struggle between neighborhood groups and the city will be ongoing”
?
“Most people in this group want minimal impact to the streets”
?
“The road will be raised in front of my house and I will lose my view & my trees, because Gary
McNeel said the intersection will be raised”
?
“A collector street will increase traffic”
?
“Majority of residents in the Crest Drive neighborhood want the streets improved”
?
“The city wants to pave paradise”
?
“Our problems cannot be solved with the same level of thinking that created them”
?
“I infer this process can work”
?
“I assume that the city staff will interpret all regulations with as much latitude as they feel they
can within their professional boundaries”
Page 10 of 27
?
“I assume that everyone here want minimal street change”
?
“I assume all of the trees in my right of way will be cut down”
?
“I assume that there are people here who want no development or change to the streets”
?
“All economic development is undemocratic”
?
“I assume that committee members represent the area’s general attitude about street
development”
?
“Everyone wants to have the streets fixed”
?
“There will be conflict with the city over street width and sidewalks”
?
“Impact of street improvement on environment are key issue of discussions”
?
“Property values will decrease with improved roads”
?
“This process will result in an assessment so astronomical that I will lose my house, then I will
have to move in with my mother and my life will be over”
?
“I assume a ‘better’ road that is slow, bicycle & pedestrian friendly, safe & beautiful, will be the
outcome of our collaboration with the City of Eugene”
?
“I infer we will not be able to choose the improvements we want without getting the ones we
don’t want”
What Interests do we Bring to the Process
Josh described the difference between positions and interests; Positions are concrete whereas
Interests are made up of needs, desires, concerns, and fears. “Focusing on interests, not positions, leads
you to choices and options that could never be considered if you only focus on concrete positions.”
Participants were broken into four small groups to brainstorm individual and group interests. Notes from
the small group discussions follow:
?

Moving Forward
Participants were asked to comment on whether they thought progress was made and to provide any
other comments regarding the process. Comments written on note cards are included here:
?
“Thanks for anticipating what this group will need to successfully complete our task (particularly
re: city staff). Yes, I see us moving along. I sense that city staff is moving into the zone where
they are positive about this process, Thanks.”
?
“We moved forward. I was uncomfortable after the last meeting, feel more comfortable now.”
?
“Good combination of process and substance tonight. Got us through rough spots to decisions.
Good time management.”
?
Meeting was a little less positive that the last, bit more muddled. Very important issue raised- not
allow people that haven’t come to last meeting to take too much time with getting caught up or
second guess decisions.”
?
“We moved forward slowly, I feel”
st
?
“Moved forward some. Too much re-hashing of last week’s agenda the 1 hour. Need to get
started on time. People who have been absent from a previous meeting need to read minutes and
consult with a fellow member prior to meeting.”
?
“Feels good.”
?
“Yes, we moved forward. So far, there is more trust in the group than I expected.”
?
“Question: why can’t Storey/Crest/Friendly benefit from simply letting the Blanton Rd. model
apply?”
?
“We need some skills for dealing with members who seem to be so distrustful of
anything/everything going on that they threaten to derail the process.”
?
“We made progress, but so much depends on what the city says must be done next meeting. Can
we by consensus stop or redirect the musts?”
Page 12 of 27
?
“This process is working for me and has brought better understanding for me in regards to the
decisions that will be made.”
?
“Tough to move forward. Attendance is lower this week, my group is not here.”
?
“Slow beginning, but once we got on task we moved forward. Good meeting.”

Introduction & Update
Before starting with agenda items, Fred Lorish provided the group with an update of the
facilitator selection process. Fred explained that the VIPER group had met twice and interviewed
two potential facilitator candidates over the past two months. Following the second meeting and
interviews, a candidate was selected by the group. Margot Helphand was selected as the
facilitator for the CDCT Context Sensitive Solutions process. Fred introduced Margot to the
committee after discussing the selection process.
Page 15 of 27
Warm Up: “Think-Pair-Share” Activity
Bill and Josh instructed participants to think and reflect on the following question: “What is the
Crest Drive Road Committee’s responsibility to the City of Eugene as a whole?” Participants
were then asked to answer as if a neighbor or acquaintance asked them about the CDCT process
in a casual conversation. Participants were paired for discussion. Responses follow:
Page 16 of 27
?
To present ideas
?
To communicate, openly and honestly, and to reach consensus on a street design
?
This is our opportunity to work with the city- we are more responsible to the
neighborhood than to the entire city
?
We are responsible because of the “pioneering” aspect of this project
?
Our responsibility is to come up with a Context Sensitive Design process for the city
?
First, we are to come up with an appropriate design for the neighborhood streets. Second,
we are responsible to say “no” if we disagree with the design. Third, we have a
commitment to the city to see this through.
?
To reach consensus
?
We are responsible to the City at large, the neighbors, and those who drive through the
neighborhood. To the City, we will create a model process. To the neighbors, we will
ensure livability. To those who drive through, we will create safe roads.
?
Our responsibility is to be collaborative and representative of the neighborhood. We are
not one single voice, but rather a representative voice.
?
To come up with design preserving the neighborhood characteristics while considering
design standards.
?
To uphold neighborhood integrity in the context of CSS
?
To become an example for the City and the nation
During the sharing portion of this exercise, a question was posed by one of the committee
members. “Out of the scarce available resources dedicated to other projects in the city, how
much is being dedicated to this project?” Bill and Josh recommended that this question be
addressed during the City of Eugene’s informational presentation later in the meeting.
Building Operational Agreements- Continued
This item was a continuation from the two previous meetings. The committee was asked to first
consider and discuss implementing a back-up decision-making process.
Back-up Decision-Making Process
Bill addressed comments and questions raised at the previous two meetings in regard to choosing
consensus as the model for decision-making for the Crest Drive Process. He noted that in
comparison to other decision-making models such as parliamentary voting, consensus requires
more up-front time and resources, while greatly reducing implementation time. On the other
hand, parliamentary voting requires little up-front time, yet requires much more time and
resources for implementation. Bill also noted that using consensus provides the City Council
with a better understanding and a clearer picture of the committee’s progress. It shows the
Council the level of support for items discussed and deliberated. He also noted that building
consensus oftentimes begins with a question. “Is there support for….?” Margot noted that she
desired having a backup decision-making process to the consensus model. She mentioned that
this could simply take the form of a minority report or the inclusion of two separate options. A
group discussion followed:
Question: “How will the neighbors be involved in decision-making?”
Response: “Through an established communication process.”
Page 17 of 27
Comment: “We don’t have the right to make decisions without involving the greater
neighborhood.”
Comment: “Our role is that of an advisory body- we will make a recommendation.”
Comment from Josh: “You are a recommending body. The communication process and roles
must be clearly defined from the beginning.”
Comment: “Since each street is represented, members of the CDCT will have an efficient
means of communication by going door-to-door to talk with neighbors.”
Question: “What if one person disagrees? How does this affect the consensus process?”
Response from Josh: “Sometimes that dissenting person must compromise.”
Response from Bill: “That person ethically must counter propose or stand aside, in other
words, ‘put-up or shut-up’.”
Response from Margot: “The facilitator might ask what it would take for that person to move
forward with the group. That single person cannot block the process though.”
Response: “It is an opportunity to contribute to the group process.”
At this point, the conversation shifted to the role of alternates on the CDCT.
Josh: We need to determine if alternates have decision-making authority when their
committee member is absent.
Question: “Should alternates have decision-making power?”
Josh: “It is the responsibility of the committee member to inform the alternate.”
Comment: “Alternate must attend successive meetings to be involved.”
Comment: “Alternate is responsible for getting information and staying up to date from their
committee member.”
Margot: “I’m partial to the idea of just having the committee vote.”
Comment: “There may be many different reasons why an alternate would fill in.”
Margot: “Having alternates as non-voting members may help build commitment among
committee members.”
Bill: “In my experience, alternates will generally ask permission to vote. The more difficult
question is whether you will allow votes in absentia.”
Question: “What is the role of the alternate?”
Response: “To replace the permanent member if they leave, or to fill in for that member
while they are absent and to collect information for them so they can make an informed
decision.”
Response: “They have a vested interest.”
Josh: “The group is 22 members in addition to the facilitator.”
Question: “Don’t the alternates have a responsibility to be here?”
Question: “Is the alternate a voting member?”
Response: “What we need is consistency of participation.”
Comment: “You cannot make heavy demands on an alternate and then prohibit them from
voting.”
Comment: “How about this, alternates can vote if they attend all meetings.”
Response: “As an alternate, I’ll be here as much as possible, but when it comes to voting, I
think I’d vote the same as my committee member.”
Page 18 of 27
At this point, Bill introduced two options: Option A: “Alternates may ‘vote’ assuming they are
current with issues and informed” and Option B: “Alternates may not vote.” Discussion
continued.
Comment: “We could clear up some of this discussion by simply requiring a quorum to be
present for decision-making.”
Question: “What is the role of the alternate?”
Comment: “We should eliminate alternates and just use a quorum system.”
Response: “We would have to go back to the CDCA to change rules.”
Comment: “Option B is similar to having no alternates.”
Comment: “Alternates should not be forced to attend all meetings.”
After a brief discussion about the role of alternates, the committee was instructed to indicate
support for the following options. Voting results follow:
Option A: “Alternates may ‘vote’ assuming they are current with issues and informed.”
(17)
Option B: “Alternates may not vote.” (3)
Option C: “Eliminate alternates.” (1)
Following the vote, committee members were asked to show support using the 5-1 consensus
model. Option A passed with the addendum that “Alternates only vote when their permanent
member is absent.”
Shortly thereafter, the committee was polled for support of the 16/22 person quorum. The
quorum rule requires that 16 of the 22 original committee members must be present for the
meeting to proceed and for decisions to be made. The committee supported the quorum rule
unanimously. More discussion follows.
Question: Will there be a schedule to indicate when voting decisions will occur?
Response: There will be a roadmap for the process and there will be a sense for when a vote
occurs. I’d hate to send people home when a quorum is not present.
Comment: As long as the alternates are informed, they should vote.
Question: Can we change these rules through consensus if we think the alternate is ill
informed?
Comment: Flexibility in the schedule is important
Comment: It would be convenient to know well ahead of time when the committee will not
have meetings scheduled for planning around members’ vacation time.
Communication
Following the discussion on decision-making, Bill asked committee members to quickly
brainstorm ideas for getting information in and out of the CDCT (to and from the greater
neighborhood). Sticky notes were collected for inclusion in the public minutes. These are the
initial ideas and suggestions:
In Out
Collection box at Wayne Morse Ranch Door to door contact with residents on street
Direct conversation with committee member(s) Word of mouth, CDCA meetings, newsletter &
mailings
Door to door canvass for important issues CDNA newsletter/meetings

Support Group
Josh introduced the concept of a support group and described the currently named VIPER group
which was involved in finding and recruiting street leaders as well as selecting a facilitator for
the process. Discussion about the need for a support group follows:
Josh: I feel strongly about the need for a support group and I would first pose the question,
“Is the VIPER group willing to continue?”
Question: What is the role of this group?
Response: They are like a steering committee and they are there to bounce ideas off of and to
assist with meeting logistics.
Josh: They are a partnership between the facilitator and the committee.
Question: Why can’t you do these things openly at the meeting?
Response: These things include mechanical help, support, and the role of sounding board. It
may include tasks such as printing fliers and gathering materials.
Margot: This group would be very helpful. Most of the time the next meeting agenda would
be determined by the previous meeting discussion and this group would be there to serve as a
tool to make this clear and accurate.
Response: This group adds transparency and provides a way to vet ideas and to creates a n
effective communication mechanism
After some discussion, Bill polled using thumbs up/down to measure support for keeping the
VIPER group together throughout the process. One thumb was down, which sparked more
discussion.
Page 20 of 27
Comment: This should be a public process- I feel that the facilitator was chosen without an
appropriate open process.
Response: This is a time to establish the rules for moving forward.
Response: Main concern is that it hasn’t been done yet.
Comment: The VIPER meeting is not open to public comment because it that may inhibit its
function and role as a support group. It must be nimble and flexible and will help get info
out.
Margot: It will assist with agenda planning and act as a sounding board.
Comment: With too much structure, the group will be unable to fulfill its function.
Comment: Nothing should be hidden.
Comment: We must commit to getting information to all committee members regularly and
to have an open notification process.
Comment: An atmosphere of openness would serve to eliminate negativity
The committee was polled on the following two questions: 1) Should the VIPER group continue
with current members, and 2) Are the members willing?
1)Poll showed broad support, the VIPER group will continue to act as support for the
facilitator
2)All members agreed to continue except for Kathy Saranpa
Immediately after discussion and polling on the support group, a suggestion was made to provide
some kind of structural organizing method for the duration of the process. City Staff offered to
provide each member of the committee with a binder to store and organize material from
meetings. Committee members indicated that the City should provide 10 to 12 binders and
include one to be stored at the Wayne Morse Ranch so the public has access to the information.
City Staff will bring binders to the next CDCT meeting.
Presentation of Process Steps
City Staff followed with a presentation on Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS), the CDCT
Process, and existing local and federal design guidelines and standards.
Lisa presented a definition of CSS as:
Context sensitive solutions (CSS) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary project
development approach that involves all stakeholders to develop a transportation
facility that fits its physical setting while maintaining safety and mobility for all
users, and reflecting community needs. The goal of CSS is to create early, open,
honest, and continuous communication and sharing of information and knowledge
throughout the design process.
Two follow-up questions were asked:
Question: What is the project website?
Response: It can be found by going to the City of Eugene homepage > Public Works > Projects,
click “Crest Drive.” You will find links to several CSS and CSD resources there.
Question: Where has CSS been done in Eugene?
Page 21 of 27
Response: It has not been done to this extent before, however examples of CSS in Eugene
rdth
include River Avenue, 3/4 Connector, and to some extent Broadway. In many ways, CSS is
the latest buzzword for good planning practices.
Lisa also presented a visual diagram of the CDCT process. It is include on page 7. Following
discussion on CSS and the CDCT process, Mark Schoening presented exiting local and federal
design guidelines and standards. Handouts describing these standards and guidelines are included
on pages 8-10. He discussed the difference between standards and guidelines as:
?
Standards
: The minimum considerations when designing a street.
?
Guidelines
: Should consider, however they are not absolute.
Question: Can we revisit the question raised earlier- What are the resources being used for this
project?
Response: This is a prioritized project by the City Council. City Staff requested funding of
$240,000 for the entire CDCT process. That does not include road repairs.
Question: Will the CDCT see the budget request?
Response: Probably not the details because it was submitted over 6 months ago.
Question: Is there any flexibility in the budget?
Response: Yes, some.
Question: Will any of the $240,000 be assessed to the property owners?
Response: Money from the general fund will cover some of this cost; however some may be
assessed to property owners.
City Staff’s presentation and CDCT follow-up questions were stopped at 9:00pm, the end of the
scheduled meeting. Committee members were instructed to record any additional comments so
they could be recorded in the notes. These questions and comments follow:
?
How about input from outside professionals involved in Context Sensitive Design?
?
We would like a breakdown of the $240,000. Is there a management fee and others fees?
?
Is it true that if my driveway faces a sidewalk, we will not be assessed for a new
roadway?
?
What does a “collaborative interdisciplinary project development approach” mean?
?
If the slope of a street is too severe to be safe for a person in a wheelchair, are the same
standards stuck to anyway?
?
Add CDCA to the stakeholder list on the visual diagram of the CDCT process.

MINIMUM STREET DESIGN STANDARDS
a.Pavement Width – The minimum pavement width would be 20 feet based
upon two 10-foot travel lanes. The minimum travel lane width of 10 feet is
based upon the urban service providers dependent on the street system
including emergency responders, public transit, and garbage and recycling
services. Many of the vehicles providing these services measure 9-1/2 feet
from mirror to mirror.
b.Sidewalk - The minimum standard is a sidewalk on at least one side of every
new or reconstructed street. The sidewalk would be a hard stable surface,
physically separated from the travel lane. This is consistent with the standards
of the Access Board, a federal agency with the authority and responsibility to
develop accessibility standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The minimum unobstructed width of a sidewalk is five feet. This provides
sufficient room for two pedestrians to walk side by side or to pass one
another. This is one foot wider than the minimum of four feet established by
the Access Board.
c.Traffic Calming – Crest, Storey and Friendly are the primary routes for
emergency responders. Therefore, the traffic calming options for the three
streets include:
Roundabouts Traffic Circles Raised Crosswalks
Curb Extensions Parking Bays Chicanes
Raised Medians Pavement Surface Angled Slow
Modification Point with Median
Landscaped Midblock Neckdown Speed Tables
Roadway
d.Curbless Street – Although fairly simple in design, a curb provides multiple
functions for a street including conveyance of drainage, stability to the edge
of pavement, physical barrier separating the street from sidewalk and a
vertical surface necessary for a street sweeper to be effective. In developing a
curbless design, these multiple functions are addressed by numerous design
elements including a drainage swale with an underlying perforated pipe, a
flush concrete edge, and a setback sidewalk. The effectiveness of a street
sweeper cannot be addressed by an additional design feature in a curbless
street design.
