<br />H. There were two accidents on Lorane Highway in the two year period. from January <br />1, 1994 through December 31, 1995. Neither accident resulted in an injury. <br />L The road surface is very aged and has not received an overlay since Lane County <br />transferred ownership of the road to the City in 1971. Maintenance work has been <br />limited to repairing hazardous conditions. The poor condition of the roadway <br />surface, combined with inadequate drainage and slope instability above and below <br />the roadway are indicators of impending roadway base failure. <br />J: Efforts to re-pave and widen Lorane Highway have been met with substantial <br />opposition from residents and property owners, resulting in an indefinite <br />postponement of plans for.work on Lorane Highway. <br />K.. The Transportation Division was reluctant to .prohibit through. trucks on Lorane <br />Highway as truck usage is low and the street is proposed as a collector street on <br />the Draft Functonal_CZassification Map. <br />L. Prohibiting trucks will prolong the useful life of the roadway while allowing <br />access to adjacent properties, and will increase the safety of the roadway. <br />..NOW, THEREFORE, <br />Based on the above findings, and pursuant to the authority contained in Eugene Code <br />5.040, the Traffic Engineer of the City of Eugene orders that: <br />Through truck movements shall be prohibited on Lorane Highway. <br />Dated this ~~ ~ Day of Novem6er,1996 <br />Gary L. eke, P.E., City Traffic Engineer. <br />Administrative Order Number 58-96-25 <br />
