EXhii&Kgchment C <br />EXCERPT FROM DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR Attachment B <br />EUGENE STREETS, SIDEWALKS, BIKEWAYS AND <br />ACCESSWAYS <br />LOCAL STREETS <br />Local streets are the framework around which <br />communities are built. Although the primary <br />function of local streets is to provide access to <br />properties fronting on the street, to a great extent, <br />they also determine the form and character of cities <br />and neighborhoods. The pattern and design of local <br />streets help shape neighborhood image and identity, <br />and can influence whether or not an area feels safe. <br />Local streets can also influence the degree of <br />communication neighbors have with one another, <br />the extent to which residents use alternate modes of <br />transportation, and the population's general feelings <br />of well-being and comfort related to their immedi- <br />ate environment. <br />The design and appearance of local streets should <br />convey this purpose through the use of relatively <br />narrow widths, short lengths, frequent connections <br />with other streets, and alignments which encourage <br />slow traffic speeds and discourage through traffic. <br />Table 2 contains a summary of typical widths for <br />local street elements such as right-of-way, pave- <br />ment, sidewalks and plant strip areas, and traffic <br />volume thresholds. <br />Local Street Standards <br />Table 2 <br />R.O.W. <br />Paving Wid <br />th <br />® <br />k <br />(Setb <br />® <br />Plantin <br />Average <br />Type of Street <br />Width <br />No <br />Parkin <br />Parking <br />One Side <br />Parking <br />Two sines <br />ac <br />Sidewalks <br />g <br />Stri S <br />Daily Traffic <br />(AD <br />1-way Al ley ® <br />20' <br />12' <br />None <br />None <br />NA <br />2-way Alley © <br />20' <br />16' <br />None <br />None <br />Access Lane 16 <br />40' <br />21'(7/14) <br />1 0 6' <br />7' and b' <br /><ZSu <br />Access Lane ® <br />55' <br />28'(7/14/7) <br />206' <br />2 @ Tai" <br />ADT <br />Low-Volume Res.® <br />45' <br />20'(10/10) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 6'-6" <br />250 <br />Low-Volume Res.® <br />45' <br />21'(7/14) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 61-0" <br />b750 <br />Low-Volume Res.® <br />55' <br />28'(7/14/7) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 7'-6" <br />ADT <br />Med.-Volume Res O <br />50' <br />20'(10/10) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 9'-W <br />>750 <br />Med.-Volume Res.® <br />55' <br />27'(7/10/10) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 8'-0" <br />ADT <br />Med.-Volume Res A <br />60' <br />34'p/10YI0/7) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 7'0" <br />Commercial/ <br />55'-70' <br />30'-44' <br />Curbside/ <br />2@6'-0"Mi <br />NA <br />Industrial <br />Setback <br />A. Setback sidewalk dimension includes a 6 paved walk and t' strip behind the walk. For curbside sidewalks, the <br />sidewalk dimension includes a 6 paved walk and 6" curb (6-6" total); the 1' strip behind the walk is added to the <br />planting strip dimension. <br />8. Planting strip dimension Includes 6" curb For curbside sidewalks, an additional 6" would be added to the planting <br />strip dimension. <br />C. In addition to the ROW width, alleys require a minimum setback of 2' on each side for a minimum 2W backup <br />distance. <br />D. Additional parking to accommodate occasional high parking demand may be provided In congregate parking areas <br />such as parking bays. <br />35 <br />Page 321 <br />
