Attachment C <br />Attachment B <br />I hope you will take the short time required to Goode "pedestrian safety" and determine for <br />yourself that sidewalks are among, if not the most important element in avoiding "significant risk" <br />to pedestrians. <br />"Roadways without sidewalks are more than twice as likely to have pedestrian crashes as sites with <br />sidewalks on both sides of the street' <br />"Guidance Statement/Application <br />FHWA's Guidance Memorandum on Consideration and Implementation of Proven Safety <br />Countermeasures offers the following guidance for the application of sidewalks and shoulders: <br />Accessible sidewalks or pathways should be provided and maintained along both sides of <br />streets and highways in urban areas, particularly near school zones and transit locations, <br />and where there is frequent pedestrian activity. <br />Sidewalks should be considered the preferred treatment for accommodating pedestrians in urban <br />areas and where frequent pedestrian use is expected." <br />https: //safety.fhwa. dot.~ov/ped_bike/tools solve/walkways_trifold/ <br />These are the facts. People's lives depend on you not relying on the kind of crap that Gillespie is <br />spouting. <br />Paul Conte <br />1451 W. 10th Ave. <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br />2 <br />Page 126 <br />
