Lincoln Street Bikeway Project

Here’s an idea do not do this. It will affect our business.

Our salon is at 294 W. 11th Ave. We are on the corner of west 11 th and Lincoln .This is Judie Hanson my client . Judie battles asthma. She is parked right next to my salon because she depends on these parking places the few that are left if any . 8 spots are needed along the street for our business. We have several clients that can only get here by a car or ride source. Many of my clients DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN DOWN TOWN EUGENE ! let alone on a BIKE!! Where will they park now? There are four of us that work here . Most of our clients come from the out skirts of town and surrounding cities .they can only get here by car .We use the spaces behind our house for some of our cars because we live far out of town. Please spend this 2 million for the project on the outside of the towns, so the people can get into the towns with their bikes, My business is across from the courthouse. We have been here for 27 years. The courthouse moved in and took up our parking. The apartments diagonal from the house has taken up our parking and now the city wants to take away the few parking spot's left for a bike lane . I bike as well, what we need is a way to get from my house on west 11 th and Greenhill that is highly dangerous for cyclist, people crossing west 11 th from south side pleas there is no problem with Lincoln street. Everyone I spoke with says so .The street is not that busy My concern is that there are lots of driveways, and this is going to create more accidents cars backing out ,bikes and scooters that are going faster then ever these days .being some are electric .This is going to be hard on our business. please do not put a bike lane on Lincoln. eep it the way it is it’s very bike friendly. I vote for Plan C . the speed bumps are safe for bikes and cars. also did I mention the weather in Oregon a lot of people do not like to bike in the rain.! I get the idea about the people in transportation of Eugene wanting to follow the Netherlands Idea . It’s a safe place to bike. Eugene is not safe. I’m afraid Eugene is going in the wrong direction. Please take the 2 million ad put it for a better cause.

Idea: Focus on Actual Facts Regarding Dangers to Bicyclists in Eugene and Education on Oregon Safe Driving & Bicycle Law Review. 👍😎

I find there is a general community and regionally accepted ignorance surrounding Bicycles and the real danger v. what's needed from the community to become truly safer. Clearly there is a nearly absolute consensus in regards to something needing to change and I question where that stems from. ($) Regardless, safety isn't really, or shouldn't really, ever, be out of fashion. That being said, ignorance isn't golden, so what's motivating this potentially big change, when half the money for these changes instead used on marketing driver's responsibility of awareness of pedestrians and Bicycles might go further in creating a much safer, "ridable" Eugene? I guess the hundreds (?) of miles of bicyles paths filled with equally ignorant and thoughtless pedestrians aren't enough - Conversely, bicyclists might also be able to ride confidently down 6th Ave. Where technically they have the complete right to do so, since it's the fastest route. And with 3 lanes down much of it, easily safest? I mean, without driver's slowing up behind and then blaring their horns and then agressively, dangerously, needlessly, and spitefully speeding, tearing horrendously around swerving two lanes, sometimes even into oncoming lanes, to keep their family and property safe from dangerous, untrustworthy, and prone to reckless sudden directional changes, always 'trying' to get hit to collect so they can get off the street and into an SUV for life or more bikes for their friends or...idk a months rent, um, bicycle rider's. 😂 Please. Watch out for people and bikes and give over the lanes. YOU'RE IN A CAR. YOU ALWAYS WIN. PROMISE. I sometimes feel as though I'm riding out there alone, having been the only person in the whole community to completely read the driver's manual. Which includes maybe 2 pages on bicyles. Driver responsibility, that is. There's a WHOLE OTHER book for bike riders! What a world. Note: 13th is a great ride that I have yet to understand the flow intended for ANYONE. Where can I see the diagrams, etc., for those plans? City Hall? 😝 Again, good job on agreeing that something needs to change. I feel a teensy tiny bit less totally alone. We want 🚲 Not 🚳. Thanks. 💕 Pest.

13th-11th: Remove parking from one side and put in a dedicated 2 way bike lane separated from vehicle traffic by curb.

Slow and wide lane for children, learners etc

those with slower reaction time, lower vision, lower mobility (tricycle), bike share bikes (slower, less handling)

Two way protected bike lanes are not working

As a cyclist and motorist I have been frustrated with the current 13th Ave two way bike lane. Each intersection has 6 lights, which is incredibly inefficient and unsafe. Pedestrians and cyclists routinely cross on red as the lights are not timed. Cyclists dart across 13th vehicle traffic to access the lane. As a cyclist I no longer use this route as it feels unsafe and inefficient. The High St project looks to be a similar cluster of poor design. Two lanes are now one, vehicle lanes zigging and zagging down a straight corridor, and business access every 10-20ft that cuts across the protected bike lane. The design truly boggles the mind as it will make this corridor inefficient and unsafe for all modes of travel. Please wait to assess the vehicle/bicycle/pedestrian flow of the current protected bike lanes before forcing another poor design onto our streets.
