ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER <br /> May 1, 1984 <br /> SUBJECT: REMOVAL OF THE CHESHIRE STREET DIVERTER <br /> <br /> 'Under City of Eugene Resolution No. 2414, traffic diverters are placed and <br /> located by administrative order of the City Manager with review of that ac- <br /> tion by the Eugene City Council. By previous actions and motion of the City <br /> <br /> ,Council on August 10, 1981, it was decided to leave the "temporary barrier" <br /> on Cheshire Street "in place until there is another option for resolution <br /> On the basis of the staff memoranda dated August 4, 1981 and April 30, 1984, <br /> and the record of the public hearing of August 10, 1981, I hearby make the <br /> <br /> ,following findings: <br /> 1. Since the fall of 1983 there have been at least 5 public meetings and <br /> workshops in the Whiteaker Community regarding the Cheshire Diverter. <br /> 2. Results of the meetings have been distributed to all Whiteaker house- <br /> <br /> ' holds via the neighborhood newsletter. <br /> 3. There has been a change in the affected area such that the initial <br /> proponents of the diverter, the Whiteaker Community Council, now sup- <br /> port its removal. <br /> 4. An effective option to the diverter now exists in that raised cross- <br /> walks at four nearby locations on Cheshire Street will help control <br /> traffic speed and enhance pedestrian movement. <br /> 5. The removal of the diverter will not significantly degrade the resi- <br /> dential living environment in the West Eugene area. <br /> b. The removal of the diverter will enhance: <br /> a. pedestrian and bicycle circulation (by facilitating in- <br /> stallation of crosswalks and removal of a physical barrier), <br /> b. emergency vehicle service (by removal of physical barrier to <br /> vehicles), and <br /> c. delivery of public services (by removal of physical barrier <br /> to vehicles). <br /> Based on these findings, I hereby direct the removal of the Cheshire Street <br /> diverter on or before July 1, 1984. <br /> w Date: s <br /> Cit Manager <br /> <br />
