Attachment F <br /> <br />Memorandum <br />Date: December 8, 2017 <br />To: Nick Gioello <br />From: Scott Gillespie, PE <br />Subject: PDT 17-1 Capital Hill PUD Capital Drive Roadway Review <br /> <br /> <br />The purpose of this memo is to review Capital Drive and Spring Blvd in the context of the Capital Hill PUD <br />application (PDT 17-1). The applicant has submitted a traffic safety and street connectivity study <br />prepared by Branch Engineering dated August 8 2017. A traffic engineering study is not explicitly <br />th <br />required per City code but the applicant has provided a study to address capacity, safety and operational <br />concerns expressed by citizens and to better address PUD approval criteria. The study was prepared by a <br />licensed civil Engineer with specific experience and expertise in traffic engineering. Public Works <br />Engineering staff review and recommendation is specific to the roadway capacity, operations and safety <br />as the department with jurisdiction over the roadway. Public Works staff defers to Eugene-Springfield <br />Fire for a specific evaluation of Fire Codes and First Responder operations. <br /> <br />%·¨²³¨­¦ #®­£¨³¨®­² <br />The development site is primarily accessed via Spring Blvd and Capital Drive. Cresta De Ruta also <br />provides an alternate route to Capital Drive but it is not the most direct route. There are a number of <br />connections available to the Spring Blvd and Capital Drive area including: <br /> <br />Columbia to Fairmount <br />East 27 to Spring <br />th <br />East 27 to Woodlawn (via Central & 26th) <br />th <br />Agate to Columbia (via 22 Ave) <br />nd <br />Agate to Fairmount (via 21) <br />st <br />19 to Fairmount (via Moss, Villard, or Orchard) <br />th <br /> <br />This memo will focus on the primary access section of Spring Blvd and Capital Drive as those roadways <br />have garnered the most comment and provide the most commonly used and direct point of access to the <br />development site. An evaluation of other roadways servicing Spring Blvd and Capital Drive is not <br />warranted at this time. The roadways listed above make multiple street connections into the area and the <br />potential for routes to access the development site multiply exponentially as proximity to the site <br />increases. All streets listed above that serve and surround the development site are classified as local <br />Classification Map. All existing streets in areas were <br />constructed prior to any City council adopted street standards. A number of the roadways and <br />corresponding rights of way were dedicated in Lane County and then subsequently annexed into the City <br />of Eugene at a later date. <br /> <br />Spring Blvd begins at the intersection of Fairmont Blvd. Spring continues past the intersection of Capital <br />Drive and that section will not be reviewed as it is not part of the primary network serving the <br />development site. The intersection of Spring Blvd. & Fairmount is a partially controlled intersection due <br />to Fairmont to Spring Blvd being the predominant vehicular movement. Spring Blvd is a local street <br />Page 386 <br /> <br />
