i <br /> it appears that recreational riding and bicycling for exercise have increased. <br /> Bicycling has become a popular form of exercise and social recreation. For <br /> instance, mountain bicycle purchases have risen dramatically since 1987. <br /> V . Future Plans <br /> A. Eugene has requested federal funding to build several projects to support <br /> bicycle usage, such as the extension of the Fern Ridge Path, an overcrossing <br /> of 18th Avenue near Chambers Street, an extension of the riverbank trails, and <br /> "green street" treatment (Woonerf-style) for 15th Avenue. <br /> B. Future street routes will include 29th Avenue bike lanes, and two north-south <br /> routes. When improvements to Ayres Road, Beltline, Riverfront Park streets, <br /> Roosevelt, West Eugene Parkway, and Terry Street are made, bicycle facilities <br /> will be provided. <br /> C. Policies which encourage bicycling by requiring more secure and covered <br /> bicycle parking, direct bicycle and pedestrian access through developments, <br /> and requiring bicycle facilities on all arterials and collectors are being <br /> developed. <br /> VI.
