City Tr ffic Engineer Gary Ludeke said the signal has been on the City's priority list <br /> since 1997 an was scheduled to be installed in conjunction with planned street improvements on <br /> Garden Way b tween Harlow Road and Centennial Boulevard. However, rapid development in <br /> f <br /> the vicinity of arden Way and a recent spate of traffic accidents convinced transportation staff <br /> that a tempora y signal is warranted until a permanent signal can be installed. <br /> Traffic volumes have been increasing on Garden Way with the steady growth of <br /> i residential de lopment on Garden Way and in other areas of northeast Eugene. However, plans <br /> to widen and i prove Garden Way, including sidewalk and signal work, have been put on hold <br /> while the City reviews its street assessment policies. Depending on the outcome of that review, <br /> actual constru tion of street improvements on Garden Way aren't expected until the summer of <br /> 2000 at the ea liest. <br /> (more) <br /> <br /> Public Works • Admi istration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl .Eugene, OR 97401-2727 .
