• Principle 1 on page 5 more appropriately defines the condition this order seeks <br />to obtain by separating the longer distance trips from the residential neighborhood <br />streets, allowing these particular "Local streets to help determine the form and <br />character of neighborhoods; stj°eet design should be considered a part of <br />neighborhood design. " <br />The City also has several adopted transportation-related Policies and Implementation <br />Strategies developed in the Willakenzie Area Plan in September of 1992. <br />• 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 />preses~vation 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. " More specifically, 1.5 states "Close <br />Fairway Loop to through traffic between Southwood and Eastwood Lanes. " <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 acut-through route. The <br />provision for bicycle/pedestrian passage through the barrier will enhance <br />circulation for those modes. <br />(e) Existing state and local laws regulating use of public ways. <br />• Provisions of the Oregon Vehicle Code will continue to apply after the changes <br />have been made. <br />(f) The efficient use of the public way by the public. <br />• This closure should have no effect on the use of the public way by the public, as <br />motorists have optional paved routes to streets at either end of the closure and <br />pedestrians and bicyclists will. have passage through the barrier. <br />(g) The use of abutting property. <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 />;. <br />Page 6 of 9 <br />
