Pedestrian volumes and route choices within West Alton Baker Park (WABP) and East Alton Baker Park (EABP) are also a concern. Currently, large numbers of people pass through WABP on their way to the stadium. Pedestrian routes between the Ferry Street Bridge and the stadium are indirect and not clearly marked. Most of the sidewalk improvements identified in the West Alton Baker Park Plan have not yet been constructed, leaving pedestrians with little choice but to use Day Island Road and unimproved paths and running trails to make their way to the stadium. Uncontrolled pedestrian traffic in WABP results in damage to vegetation and litter throughout the park on major event days. Pedestrian traffic currently mixes with bicycle traffic on all approaches to the stadium through WABP, introducing safety concerns for both pedestrians and bicyclists. Large numbers of pedestrians also walk to the stadium from the south, using the Autzen footbridge to cross the Willamette River. The volume of pedestrians causes traffic to overflow the walkway north of the bridge resulting in damage to plants in areas along both sides of the sidewalk, soil erosion and soil compaction in sloped areas adjacent to the trail, and deposits of litter along that route. Bicyclists and pedestrians also mix along this route. Bicyclists will occasionally bypass congested areas by leaving the paths and riding through areas adjacent to the sidewalk causing damage to plants and soil compaction. In the area immediately surrounding the stadium everyone is a pedestrian. These areas are very congested and pedestrian movements can be random and unpredictable. The sheer number of people who exit the stadium following an event can be problematic. Stadium signing that directs spectators to vehicle parking, transit boarding, and bike parking areas could help reduce congestion. Additional signing and pedestrian traffic control measures can direct pedestrians to the desired pedestrian routes. a. Pedestrian Access The plan should identify primary pedestrian circulation routes through Alton Baker Park and along Centennial Boulevard. b. Pedestrian Safety The plan should identify measures to insure the safety of pedestrians who walk to and from Autzen stadium events, as well as those who walk to and from transit boarding areas, bicycle parking areas, and vehicle parking areas on and adjacent to the site. Particular attention should be given to: (1) Pedestrian crossings of Centennial Boulevard between Leo Harris Parkway and the leased parking area at the Juvenile Justice Center, at the intersection of Club Road and Centennial Boulevard, and at the intersection of Coburg Road and Centennial Boulevard. (2) Separation of pedestrian traffic and bicycle traffic on routes leading to and from Autzen Stadium within East Alton Baker Park, West Alton Baker Park, and along Centennial Boulevard.
