Attachment C <br />demand on unimproved roads for all modes of travel. In addition because unimproved roads <br />aren't structurally engineered, the increased traffic of new development increases Machment B <br />deterioration rate of the pavement surface. And, finally, because unimproved roads typically <br />don't have facilities of [sic] all modes of travel, the risk to public safety on unimproved roads <br />increases with new development." City Engineer Mark Schoening testimony at the June 21, <br />2017 City Council work session. <br />Further, Mr. Gillespie's absurd statements are directly contradicted by the Draft "Vision Zero Action <br />Plan" and his opinion conflicts with the official "Vision Zero" policy adopted by City Council <br />Resolution No. 5143: <br />"STRATEGIES: Reduce potential for conflict between users. Decreasing the possibility that <br />street users can come into conflict is the first line of defense against crashes. This means <br />providing separated space for people walking, biking, driving and takinftransfit along the <br />street." Page 19. <br />The following statement by Mr. Gillespie is egregiously misleading and again belies his <br />incompetence or -bias: <br />"I would encourage Brent and Paul to research queuing and multi-modal street design <br />practice. FHWA, NCHRP, NACTO, AASHTO, ITE, DOT's, Planning associations, Bike/ped <br />groups, etc alt have publication that discuss an tout the benefits of queuing street from built <br />in traffic calming and accommodating multimodal Et vision 0 goals." <br />I defy Mr. Gillespie to provide credible references to any organization encouraging forcing <br />pedestrians into the travel lane as a "safety improvement"! <br />As shown above Mr. Gillespie blatantly misrepresents the actual findings of "Vision Zero" Technical <br />Advisory Group. <br />Furthermore, a qualified traffic engineer would know that "multi-modal" does not in any way mean <br />"unsegregated pedestrian an motorized." Not Mr. Gillespie, apparently. <br />It's pathetic that a PWD staff member would demonstrate such clueless disregard for pedestrian <br />safety. <br />In any case, the Hearings Official must disregard this and any further comments of a similar nature <br />from Mr. Gillespie as unreliable evidence upon which no findings can be based. <br />Paul Conte <br />14651 W. 10th Ave. <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br />541.344.2552 <br />paul.t.conte@!gmail.com <br />From: GILLESPIE Scott N <br />Sent: Friday, January 26, 2018 11:54 AM <br />To: GIOELLO Nick R <Nick.R.Gioello@ci.eugene.or.us> <br />Cc: FAVREAU Eric J <Eric.J.Favreau@ci.euRene.or.us> <br />- Subject: RE: follow up questions <br />Hi Nick.
