' The Eugene Code provides that the City Manager or the manager's designee shall <br /> exercise specific traffic duties by administrative action, including: the implementation of <br /> ~ ordinances, resolutions, and motions of the Council and his or her own orders by <br /> ~ installing traffic control devices; designating the direction of traffic flow, establishing, <br /> ~ maintaining, removing or altering all traffic control areas and traffic control devices <br /> including traffic control signals, signs, and pavement markings, and areas where drivers <br /> of vehicles shall not make left turns; <br /> B. The Lane Transit District is constructing their new Downtown Station on the block <br /> bordered by Willamette and Olive Streets and West 10th and 11th Avenues. <br /> Consequently, as of May 4, 1997, they will need to temporarily relocate their adjacent <br /> bus stations to locations west of this site. The selected and approved temporary <br /> <br /> • individual station sites include the entire south side of West 10th Avenue between <br /> j Lincoln and Charnelton Streets. These temporary traffic patterns are anticipated to <br /> remain in effect until March, 1998. <br /> C. In order to safely accommodate the new motor vehicle and public transit traffic as well as <br /> the related pedestrian dynamics, the same traffic pattern must be established here as is <br /> currently serving the existing sites. Two eastbound travel lanes and a south side BUS <br /> ONLY lane have proven to best serve this purpose under existing conditions. Conflicts <br /> between buses and motorists and between motor vehicles and pedestrians is minimized <br /> by this configuration. <br /> Now, Therefore, <br /> B sed on the above findings, and pursuant to the authority contained in Eugene Code 5.040, the <br /> Tr ffic Engineer of the City of Eugene orders that: <br /> West 10th Avenue between Lincoln and Charnelton Streets shall be regulated for two <br /> temporary one-way eastbound travel lanes and one south side BUS ONLY lane. <br /> D ted this ~ ~ Day of April, 1997 <br /> Gary deke, City Traffic Engineer <br /> <br />
