Policies and Proposed Actions 1 on page 97 states that "The transportation net- <br /> work within the Willakenzie area shall be planned and designed to ensure: a) <br /> preservation of existing neighborhoods; b) an adequate system of arterials and <br /> ~ collectors for the efficient movement of through traffic; and c) the preservation of <br /> the use of local streets for local traffic.

" <br /> The installation of a barrier at a point 300 feet south of Eastwood Lane is in <br /> compliance with this Policy and Proposed Action and will enhance the livability <br /> of residential land uses on those streets being used as scut-through route. The <br /> provision for bicycle/pedestrian passage through the barrier will enhance <br /> i <br /> circulation for those modes. <br /> i <br /> i <br /> I <br /> I, j (e) Existing state and local laws regulating use of public ways. <br /> ?

The land use on the west side of Fairway Loop between Southwood and <br /> Eastwood Lanes consists of medium density residential and parks/open space uses <br /> while the east side of the roadway is undeveloped with designations for future <br /> commercial and general office uses south of the barrier and medium density <br /> residential uses north of the barrier. <br /> i <br /> ~„i Page 6 of 9 <br /> <br />
