Attachment C <br />consistency with those standards. Table 9.6870 is consistent with the tables for local, collector and arteria streets as <br />adopted in Exhibit A. Attachment B <br />The City of Eugene has been using a queuing street standard for design since 1999. That was ahead of its time for <br />Oregon and more City's are adopting this practice as they grow and desire to meet multi -modal/safety <br />expectations. Queuing streets are the state of practice for transportation planning on local streets. We are currently <br />updating our street standards and have received praise from consultants regarding the City's vision to adopt this in <br />1999. 1 would encourage Brent and Paul to research queuing and multi-modal street design practice. SHWA, NCHRP, <br />NACTO, AASHTO, ITE, DOT's, Planning associations, Bike/ped groups, etc all have publication that discuss an tout the <br />benefits of queuing street from built in traffic calming and accommodating multimodal & vision 0 goals. <br />1 B. I am uncertain about what access street they are talking about? Many streets of various character access the <br />Capital drive area. I would encourage Brent and Paul to research queuing streets and other design concepts for traffic <br />calming and multi modal street design. Generally speaking, introducing more conflict into a low speed and low volume <br />environment has a positive effect on traffic calming, safety, livability and reducing fatality injuries. The ideal scenario is a <br />low speed environment where all users acknowledge each other's place on the roadway and coexist safely. Wider <br />streets (or channelization of lanes) and removing bike/peds creates an environment that facilitates higher speeds and <br />prioritized vehicular based mobility. The City adopted plans and polices to counter to that. The queuing street <br />accomplishes this without regulation and enforcement. It meets the communities goals/standards except the desire for <br />some motorists to drive faster. <br />Thanks, <br />Scott Gillespie, PE <br />Public Works Engineering <br />99 East Broadway, Suite 400 <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br />541-682-2706 <br />Page 265 <br />
