Oakleigh Lane. Eugene, Oregon <br />April 5, 2017 <br />Page: 5 of 14 <br />DESCRIPTION <br />EUGENE <br />STANDARDS <br />EXISTING <br />Requirement <br />Met? <br />Physical Obstructions (e.g., fire <br />May be in the <br />On the north side, a fire hydrant <br />The fire <br />hydrant, utility poles) <br />planting strip, <br />and one mailbox are inside the 20- <br />hydrant and <br />outside of right- <br />foot right-of-way. Other mailboxes <br />a mailbox <br />of-way. <br />and fences are approximately <br />obstruct the <br />located 6' from edge of pavement, <br />right-of-way. <br />at the edge of right-of-way. On the <br />Other objects <br />south side, power pole and fences <br />obstruct <br />are approximately located 11 feet <br />passage <br />from the right-of-way. <br />outside the <br />right-of-way <br />at various <br />locations. <br />= Information obtained from August 26, 2016 Oakleigh Map Surveying Document <br />Review of the existing roadway geometry at the study location and the design standards noted in <br />Table 1 above shows that the existing right-of-way width/roadway geometry does not meet the <br />City's applicable design standards. <br />In addition to the design standards (noted above), the following key factors from the City's design <br />standards publication were considered: <br />A. Vehicle Lanes. <br />2) On local residential streets with traffic volumes less than 750 vehicles per day, a single <br />14' traffic lane may be permitted for both directions of vehicular travel. The single traffic lane <br />is intended to create a "queuing street", such that when opposing vehicles meet, one of the <br />vehicles must yield by pulling into a vacant portion of the adjacent parking lane. <br />Response: A single 14-foot traffic lane for two-directions is not intended to <br />be used as queuing street without a parking lane and proper parking <br />regulation to ensure adequate pullout areas are available. <br />For Oakleigh Lane to function as queuing street it should be improved to <br />include a 21-foot minimum paving width that is signed and marked to <br />provide a 14-foot wide travel lane and a 7-foot parking lane. In addition, <br />sidewalks should be provided, so that pedestrian and wheelchairs users will <br />not be forced to be on the travel lane. The 20-foot wide right-of-way width is <br />not adequate to allow the improvements noted above. <br />C. Parking Lanes. <br />1) Parking lanes are 7' wide on local streets. <br />Nemariam Engineers & Associates, LLC. Portland, Oregon <br />
