PLANNING COMMISSION
INFORMATION SHARE:
The Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Final Design Concept is the culmination of a highly coordinated design and development process that provided the local community and staff with the opportunity, tools and
resources to complete this jointly planned, jointly envisioned multi-purpose bikeway project. In addition
to the close participation of the neighborhood, the project benefited from the constructive feedback provided by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and the guidance from the Planning
Commission and City Council.
Staff is scheduled to discuss the draft final design concept with City Council during the September 6 Work
Session in preparation for approval of the final concept during the October 3 Regular Session. Once the
final design concept is approved, staff will proceed with detailed engineering design and construction. The goal is to construct the project in summer 2017.
The Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project is primarily funded through a $710,000 grant from the ODOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Transportation Enhancement Program, which provides funding to
improve biking and walking transportation facilities. Staff has worked to efficiently use these funds to accomplish a variety of inter-related City goals within the auspices of this single project by integrating
bikeway treatments, key safety improvements for all road users, street maintenance, storm water treatment,
and ADA upgrades. The Bikeway will integrate and complete Springfield Transportation System Plan projects PB-36: Virginia-Daisy Bikeway and R-38: South 42nd Street/Daisy Street Intersection
Improvements for much less cost than the cost of planning and building the two projects separately. The
project also helps fulfill the requirements of the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permit and supports the City of Springfield’s 7 Key Stormwater Goals.
The Draft Final Report (Attachment 1) provides additional information about the draft final design concept, including a project overview, the design concept, public involvement information, more cost estimate
information, and next steps.
Please contact Emma Newman, Transportation Planner (541-726-4585) if you would like more information
about this project.

CHAPTER ONE
Project Overview
Network Context
The current roadway network in mid-Springfield offers few safe and convenient
options for bicyclists and pedestrians travelling east-west through the city .
Main Street is the primary east-west corridor but functions as a principal arterial
with high vehicle volumes and speeds that presents many challenges for
people walking and bicycling . The nearby Virginia Ave-Daisy Street corridor is
designated as a local road and major collector from 32nd Street to Bob Straub
Parkway, and features much lower vehicle speeds and volumes . As such, it
represents a more ideal candidate for bicycle and pedestrian travel, but requires
significant improvements at key intersections and other locations along the
corridor .
The City of Springfield was awarded funding through the statewide Oregon
Transportation Enhancement grant program to design, develop and construct
the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project . Combined with federal funding for a
roadway overlay project, the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project will allow the City of
Springfield to provide comfortable, convenient, and safe transportation options
for people of all ages and abilities along the Virginia Ave and Daisy Street
corridor . Figure 1 on the next page provides an overview of the Virginia-Daisy
Bikeway Project corridor .
Designing for Safety and Access
This multimodal corridor will provide a much needed connection for residents
and the broader community travelling by foot or bicycle to local services and
amenities, and complement the commercial Main St . thoroughfare to the north .
Safety
Design elements such as striped bicycle lanes, shared lane markings, traffic
calming measures, intersection crossing improvements, wayfinding and
additional regulatory signage, and improved lighting are planned to improve
traffic safety and comfort . Notably, the project will also feature a significant
reconstruction of the intersection of 42nd Street, into a low-stress single-lane
roundabout .
Equity
The Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project responds to the access and connectivity
needs identified in the Springfield Bicycle Plan by closing gaps in the corridor
that have otherwise presented challenges for people bicycling . This carries
important social equity implications for residents with limited or no access to
vehicles . Currently, 16 percent of area residents are below poverty level, while 20
to 40 percent of area children are below the poverty level . 24 percent of working
residents already use non-drive alone transportation options (carpool, bus, bike,
walk, etc .) to commute to and from work .1 Transit service in this area is also
limited as Lane Transit District does not currently provide transit service south of
Main Street .
Health
Creating a safer, more comfortable walking and biking environment helps to
encourage more daily physical activity, which translates to lower stress levels,
reduced risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and overall improved
community health .2

2 Equity and Opportunity Assessment: Safety, Health, and Wellness - Body Mass Index . Livability Lane . 2013 .
Amenities
The Bikeway provides a vital connection to nine nearby schools, local shopping
and recreation destinations, and the regional Willamalane Center that serves
local area children with after school activities and families with a wide range
of recreational opportunities and programs . The project further strengthens
the walking and bicycling network by complementing current and future
off-street path projects, including Willamalane Mill Race Path, Booth Kelly
Road, Weyerhauser Haul Road, the growing Middle Fork Path, and other local
accessways .
Environment
In addition to promoting active transportation and healthy lifestyles for local
residents, the project will contribute to neighborhood livability by enhancing
the overall attractiveness of the corridor by incorporating environmentally
focused infrastructure, such as street tree plantings and stormwater
management facilities .
Tourism
Cycling tourism is growing regionally . In 2012 bicycle-traveler trip expenditures
in the Willamette Valley totaled over $70 million . Statewide cycling tourism
generated $10 .3 billion in direct travel spending .3 Projects like the Virginia-Daisy
Bikeway could expect to become part of larger regional or trans-American bike
touring rides . The Virginia-Daisy Bikeway will also provide access to the future
Thurston Hills single-track mountain bike trails, a potential key bike tourism
destination .
Policy
The Bikeway project is closely aligned with the goals and policies set forth
in the Springfield Transportation System Plan, Lane County Transportation
System Plan, and the Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization Regional
Transportation Plan related to regional sustainability, economic vitality, and
social equity .
City of Springfield City Council and Project specific goals are presented in the
following section .

Project Goals
1. The project aligns with the City of Springfield’s commitment
to providing safe transportation options. The project is an
identified need in the Springfield Transportation System and
aligns with regional bike network connectivity goals.
2. The Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project provides a safe and
comfortable bicycle corridor that can be used by people of all
ages and abilities.
3. The design of the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway enhances the
overall appearance of the corridor for all users, improves
pedestrian safety and usage, and provides traffic calming for
automobiles to emphasize active transportation along the
street and enhance the neighborhood feel.
City Council Goals
1. Financially Responsible and Stable Government Services
A . Implementing street overlay, bikeway enhancement, and stormwater
treatments through one project increases efficient use of public funds .
2. Community and Economic Development and Revitalization1
A . Investments in bicycling infrastructure are cost-effective and generate
an array of direct and indirect health, transportation, environmental,
and economic benefits for the City and region .
B . Constructing bike facilities creates local jobs, increases local tax
revenue, and stimulates local spending .
C . Constructing bike facilities creates local jobs, increases employment
tax revenue, and stimulates local spending . People making short local
trips by bike tend to make more frequent trips to local stores, and bike
tourism and events support the local food, lodging, and recreational
industries . This spending on bicycle-related services and amenities
generates demand for more bike facilities, creating a positive feedback
loop of benefits . Research has also shown that the property values of
homes in walkable, bikeable communities are typically higher than
1 Flusche, Darren . Bicycling Means Business: The Economic Benefits of Bicycle Infrastructure . Advocacy Advance . 2012 .
similar homes in areas that do not have access to bike and pedestrian
facilities .
3. Enhance Public Safety
A . Safety will be greatly increased along the corridor with traffic
calming and intersection safety improvements, such as the proposed
roundabout at 42nd Street and Daisy Street . Roundabouts reduce
overall collisions by 37 percent, injuries by 75 percent, fatalities by 90
percent, collisions with pedestrians by 40 percent, and collisions with
people biking by 10 percent .2
4. Effectively Create a Positive Environment that Values Diversity
and Encourages Inclusion
A . Provide safe and comfortable transportation options for people walking
and bicycling, in addition to people driving .
5. Maintain and Improve Infrastructure Facilities
A . Perform an overlay treatment along the corridor to preserve the street
infrastructure .
B . Add bicycle facilities and sidewalk infill to improve Virginia Avenue and
Daisy Street for all users .
6. Preserve our Hometown Feel, Livability, and Environmental
Quality
A . Install stormwater treatments along the corridor, including bioswales
and additional tree canopy .
B . Construct a design that encourages neighborhood appropriate speeds
and enhances the overall appeal of the neighborhood .

Virginia Avenue:
S 32nd Street to S 41st Place
The preferred bikeway type on Virginia Avenue to S 41st Place is a bicycle
boulevard with shared lanes . Roadway markings throughout this section of
the corridor would consist of frequent shared lane markings . These markings
indicate to all users to expect people on bikes in the roadway, and help instruct
people bicycling to ride in the center of the roadway to increase visibility and
avoid car doors . No centerline would be provided to encourage people driving
to give extra distance while passing people on bikes .
S 32nd Street Intersection Design
Rapid flashing beacons facing S 32nd Avenue would promote yielding to people
crossing the street .
People on bicycles on Virginia Avenue would take the ramp up to a shared-use
path at the crossing and cross adjacent to pedestrians in the crosswalk . People
on bicycles would also have the option to navigate the intersection as a vehicle
in the travel lanes .
Median safety islands would provide added safety and comfort for people
walking and biking across the street .
Mixing zones would be created on all four corners of the intersection . These are
areas where people biking and walking would be able to navigate around the
intersection separated from motor vehicle traffic . These areas are delineated
with specialty pavement to indicate that these areas are for slow and safe travel .
See Appendix 3 for the 32nd St and Virginia Ave Gap Analysis Memo.
Additional Safety Features
Other elements along the corridor designed to create a safer operating
environment by slowing speeds, increasing the drivers’ field of vision and
opportunity to yield, and shortening stopping distances include:
Curb extensions (shorten the pedestrian crossing distance and visually
narrow the roadway to slow traffic)
On-street planters (capture and treat stormwater runoff and visually narrow
the roadway to slow traffic)
Mini-roundabouts (slow traffic)
Raised crosswalk (improve driver visibility of pedestrians and slow traffic)
Pedestrian refuge islands (provide physical protection form motorists and
slow traffic)

VIRGINIA-DAISY BIKEWAY ~ 17
Daisy Street:
S 42nd Street to S Weyerhaeuser Haul Road
The preferred bikeway type on Daisy Street to S Weyerhaeuser Haul Road is
bicycle lanes . Due to higher traffic volumes, a separated bicycling facility is
necessary . Roadway markings throughout this section of the corridor would
consist of one consolidated parking lane, bike lane stripes, and bike lane
markings to distinguish bike lanes from the general purpose travel lanes .
No center line would be provided to encourage motor vehicles to give extra
distance while passing people biking . Identification of consolidated parking lane
is based on existing parking utilization levels combined with gaps in tree canopy .
See the Parking Considerations in Relation to Bikeway Implementation section
on pages 30-31 for additional information .
S 42nd Street Intersection Design
A single-lane roundabout would create slow circulation speeds through the
intersection for all street approaches and greatly improve the safety of the
intersection compared to existing conditions .
People bicycling would be permitted to travel within the roundabout with motor
vehicles, or to enter into a shared space with pedestrians and use the crosswalk .
Mixing zones for people walking and biking would be created on all four corners
of the roundabout . These are areas where people biking and walking would be
able to navigate around the intersection separated from motor vehicle traffic .
These areas are delineated with specialty pavement to indicate that these areas
are for slow and safe travel .
The roundabout could also incorporate stormwater treatment to aid in
controlling flooding, treat stormwater, and recharging ground water .
The roundabout proposed for implementation at S 42nd and Daisy St as a part
of the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project is designed to be uniquely optimized
for pedestrian and bicycle circulation, comfort and safety . This is achieved
by designing for slow, 15 mph motor vehicle travel speed throughout the
roundabout .1 This slow speed creates low speed differentials for cyclists
choosing to travel in-lane, and a high degree of yielding to people walking
and bicycling within the crosswalk and slower approach speeds through the
reversing curve to the south .
Additional Safety Features
Other elements along the corridor designed to create a safer operating
environment by slowing speeds, increasing the drivers’ field of vision and
opportunity to yield, and shortening stopping distances include:
Curb extensions (shorten the pedestrian crossing distance and visually
narrow the roadway to slow traffic)
On-street planters (capture and treat stormwater runoff and visually narrow
the roadway to slow traffic)
Raised crosswalk (improve driver visibility of pedestrians and slow traffic)
Pedestrian refuge islands (provide physical protection form motorists and
slow traffic)
Mini-median islands (slow traffic)

the compact urban roundabout type illustrated in the earlier guide is more appropriate for this use .

Parking Considerations in Relation to Bikeway Implementation
Establishing a new bikeway on the Virginia-Daisy corridor involves changes
to the street that include traffic control changes, lane restriping and roadway
reconfiguration . One strategy for creating space for dedicated bike lane facilities
is to consolidate street parking on only one side of the street .
Underutilized parking lanes can result in higher traffic speeds and unsafe driving
behavior due to the appearance of a wide open travel space . Reallocating a
portion of underutilized parking lanes as a bike lane can mitigate these issues
while providing dedicated space for people biking and maintaining ample
on-street parking spaces1 .
Existing Conditions
To support the bikeway design for Virginia-Daisy, the City of Springfield
conducted on-street parking counts at ten different times to cover the variety
of conditions encountered on the corridor2 . To supplement this data, the city
also performed a count based on visual inspection of previously captured
photography .3
Count Summary
Observed usage of the on-street parking lane at any one time on the full
Virginia-Daisy corridor ranges from a low of 74 vehicles to a high of 116 vehicles .
Specific clusters of parking demand varies on the corridor in response to land
uses, community destinations and availability of off-street parking .
As shown in the table to the right, parking demand is generally consistent from
weekday to weekend and morning to evening hours . Special event parking
demand (such as a sports event at the Willamalane Center) may exceed the use
seen on the average day .

Parking Lane Capacity
Parking is allowed on the curbside on both sides of the street along the majority
of the Virginia-Daisy corridor . Under some conditions, parking use may be
prohibited, restricted or unavailable . These conditions include:
Parking is prohibited for 30 ft advance of crosswalks . This applies at all
crosswalks4, including all street corners . On the Virginia-Daisy corridor,
currently yellow curbs are only painted on either side of the marked
crosswalks by Colony Dr and Ridge Dr .
Spot parking restrictions such as the residential loop at the far East end of
the corridor which has no parking permitted on the street (off of Daisy St) .
On-street parking is not allowed in front of driveways . Many residential units
on the corridor provide their own off-street parking for one or two vehicles .
Curb cuts provide access to these spaces but also prevent on-street parking
in that location .
On narrow segments without space for parking . Between S 51st and S 52nd
St the street is so narrow that parking would block one travel lane . Parking is
already prohibited on this segment .
4 See . ORS 811 .550 – Parking prohibition near crosswalks
Design Considerations
On most streets with parking on both sides, parking demand can be
accommodated with parking provided on one side .
Parking may be alternated from one side of the street to the other with proper
transitioning . This pattern may cause motorists to reduce their speed .Attachment 1, Page 30 of 146
VIRGINIA-DAISY BIKEWAY ~ 31
Proposed Changes
As part of the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway project, some segments of the corridor may
feature consolidated parking lanes in order to visually narrow the roadway and
provide space to establish a bike lane in higher traffic volume locations . At spot
locations across the entire corridor, parking may be restricted in certain locations
to allow for trees and crossing enhancements . These spot changes on their own
are not expected to have significant impact to parking availability .
There are four distinct segments in the project related to parking lane
consolidation:
S 32nd to S 42nd :
In this segment, no parking consolidation is proposed, with no significant effect
on parking availability .
S 42nd to Weyerhauser Haul Rd:
This segment proposes parking consolidation on one side of the street . After
implementation, this segment will have an estimated 140 parking spaces . This is
more than enough to serve the observed weekend peak of 15 parked cars . (10%
post implementation utilization) .
Weyerhauser Haul Rd to Ridge Dr:
In this segment, no parking consolidation is proposed, with no significant effect
on parking availability .
Ridge Dr to Bob Straub Parkway:
This segment proposes the removal of parking on both sides of the street (with
the exception of one block on the north side near 5660 Daisy Street/Western
Loop) . After implementation, this segment will have an estimated 15 parking
spaces . This is more than enough to serve the observed weekend peak of 5
parked cars . (33% post implementation utilization) . This segment does not have
driveways fronting the street since it is located between the backs of two mobile
home parks .
Community Benefits
Reduces conflicts with bicyclists as drivers pull into and out of parking
spaces and drivers and passengers open doors of parked vehicles .
Provides additional roadway space for bicycle facilities .
Improves sight distance for all roadway users .
Provides clean water recharge and stormwater management via treatment
and flood control .Attachment 1, Page 31 of 146

Summary of Open Houses
To engage residents and property owners along the corridor and to receive their
input on the bikeway design elements, staff held two open houses . The first
was to show the design concepts and the second to show the refined design
concepts that included their feedback from the first open house .
Open House #1
Wednesday, May 25, 2016, 6:00 – 7:30PM
Mt Vernon Elementary School Cafeteria
35 attendees
“Support the shared travelway, beacons at 32nd and Virginia Ave, mini-roundabouts
at 35th and 41st, bicycle lanes on Daisy all the way, and 42nd/Daisy traffic light,
full signal preferred. Adding trees is not necessary, let people do it in front of their
house if they want to. Safely crossing 42nd and Daisy on foot or bicycle is concerning
currently, as well as 32nd and Bob Straub.”
“No trees that the City has to maintain, staff and funds do not exist. Mini-
roundabouts are okay if they don’t block the view so that neighbors can’t see across
or down the street. Don’t mess with the parking.”
“Like the roundabouts with single lanes for slowing traffic and it makes it safer for
bikes. Bike boxes are great. Also buffered bike lanes in some places are great for
safety. Not enough speed bumps [raised crosswalks and speed cushions]. Great job!”
Open House #2
Tuesday, July 12, 2016 6:00 – 7:30PM
Papa’s Pizza on Main St
45 attendees
“I like basically everything, especially all the roundabouts and flipped stop sign. Also
the protected bike lanes. Please, please push for the 54th St. connection to Safeway
and remove the gate on the Weyerhaeuser trail. Thank you! Keep up the good work.”
“I like these refined design concepts: yes, as far as I understand them. My concerns are
what kind of trees will be added? And where?”
“I don’t want to change the street.”
“I like the roundabouts, especially at 42nd and Daisy, bike lanes, shared lane
markings, and anything else you can do to inform others of cyclists on the road.
Looks great. Remember to design the project like your kids will be using it. My
concerns are that generally motorists far exceed the posted speed limit.”
“I have nearly been hit on my bike a handful of
times trying to cross at 42nd headed south while
I’m on my bike. This is the route to Clearwater bike
path that my family uses. My daughter is in middle
school and I will not let her ride her bike to school
(ASMS) due to this bike crossing problem.
Not only would a round-a-bout be helpful for
pedestrian and bicycle crossing, it would make
traffic slow down for cars too. The corner south
of daisy on 42nd street does not have good vision
to predict turning times from daisy to 42nd in any
direction. Often traffic is speeding around this
corner.” – 44th and Daisy Resident, email
“I love the idea of a yellow blinking light and cross-
walk across 32nd at the end of Virginia to get to
Willamalane Center from our neighborhood.” –

VIRGINIA-DAISY BIKEWAY: PRELIMINARY DESIGN CONCEPTS18 Parking Utilization AnalysisPARKING CONSOLIDATION TO SUPPORT BIKEWAY IMPLEMENTATIONEstablishing a new bikeway on the Virginia-Daisy corridor involves changes to the street that may include traffi c control changes, lane restriping and roadway reconfi guration. One strategy for creating space for dedicated bike lane facilities is to consolidate street parking on only one side of the street.Underutilized parking lanes can result in higher traffi c speeds and unsafe driving behavior due to the appearance of a wide open travel lane space. Reallocating a portion of underutilized parking or travel lanes as a bike lane can mitigate these issues while providing dedicated space for bicyclists1.EXISTING CONDITIONSTo support the bikeway design for Virginia-Daisy, the City of Springfi eld supplied on-street parking counts performed at six diff erent times to cover the variety of conditions encountered on the corridor2. To supplement this data, the city also performed a count based on visual inspection of previously captured photography3. PARKING LANE CAPACITYParking is allowed on the curbside on both sides of the street along the majority of the Virginia-Daisy corridor. Under some conditions, parking use may be prohibited, restricted or unavailable. These conditions include:• Parking is prohibited for 30 ft advance of crosswalks . This applies at all crosswalks4, including all street corners. On the Virginia-Daisy corridor, yellow curbs are only painted on either side of the marked crosswalks by Colony Dr and Ridge Dr.• Spot parking restrictions such as the residential loop at the far East end of the corridor which has no parking permitted on the street (off of Daisy St).• On-street parking is not allowed in front of driveways. Many residential units on the corridor provide their own off -street parking for 1 or 2 vehicles. Curb cuts provide access to these spaces but also prevent on-street parking in that location. • On narrow segments without space for parking. Between 51st and 52nd St the street is so narrow that parking would block one travel lane. Parking is prohibited on this segment.COUNT SUMMARYUsage of the on-street parking lane on the full Virginia-Daisy corridor ranges from a low of 74 vehicles to a high of 101 vehicles. Specifi c clusters of parking demand varies on the corridor in response to land uses, community destinations and availability of off -street parking.As shown in the table to the right, parking demand is generally consistent from weekday to weekend and morning to evening hours. Special event parking demand (such as a sports event at the Willamalane Center) may exceed the use seen on the average day.AVERAGE PARKING USE FOR EACH BLOCK SEGMENT ON THE CORRIDOR BASED ON DAY AND TIMEBENEFITS• Reduces confl icts with bicyclists as drivers pull into and out of parking spaces and drivers and passengers open doors of parked vehicles.• Provides additional roadway space for bicycle facilities.• Improves sight distance for all roadway users.DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS• On most streets with parking on both sides, parking demand can be accommodated with parking provided on one side. • Parking may be alternated from one side of the street to the other with proper transitioning. This pattern may cause motorists to reduce their speed.IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONSImperfections in the quality or installation of roadway pavement, gutter joints and drainage grates must be held to a higher standard when they are located within a bicycle lane than when located within a parking lane. Construction plans should call for repair of rough or uneven pavement surface, the use bicycle compatible drainage grates, and corrections to raise or lower existing grates and utility covers so they are fl ush with the pavement surface.1 FHWA. Incorporating On-Road Bicycle Networks into Resurfacing Projects. 20162 Counts were performed Tuesday 1/12/2016 and Tuesday 1/19.2016 at 10am; Tuesday 1/19/2016 and Tuesday 1/26/2016 at 6:30 pm; and Saturday 1/16/2016 and Saturday 1/23/2016 at 2:00pm.3 Google StreetView photography dated September 2011.4 See. ORS 811.550 – Parking prohibition near crosswalksPROPOSED CHANGESAs part of the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway project, some segments of the corridor may feature consolidated parking lanes in order to visually narrow the roadway and provide space to establish a bike lane. At spot locations across the entire corridor, parking may be restricted in certain locations to allow for trees and crossing enhancements. These spot changes on their own are not expected to have signifi cant impact to parking availability.There are four distinct segments in the project related to parking lane consolidation:32nd to 42nd: In this segment, no parking consolidation is proposed, with no signifi cant eff ect on parking availability.42nd to Weyerhauser Hall Rd:This segment proposes parking consolidation on one side of the street. The parking lane may be allocated on the north or south side of the street in response to measured parking demand.The observed weekend parking peak consisted of 15 cars. After implementation, this segment will have an estimated 140 parking spaces, which will more than serve the parking utilization needs.Weyerhauser Hall Rd to Ridge Dr:In this segment, no parking consolidation is proposed, with no signifi cant eff ect on parking availability.Ridge Dr to Bob Straub Parkway:Based on low existing parking utilization, this segment proposes the removal of parking on both sides of the street (with the exception of one block on the north side near 5660 Daisy Street (Western Loop). The observed weekend parking peak consisted of 5 cars. After implementation, this segment will have an estimated 15 park-ing spaces, which will more than serve the parking utilization needs.Attachment 1, Page 61 of 146

VIRGINIA-DAISY BIKEWAY: REFINED DESIGN CONCEPT7 Daisy Street: S 42nd Street Intersection20’10’0’40’30’S 42ND STREET INTERSECTION DESIGN PREFERRED OPTION (ROUNDABOUT)A compact roundabout would create slow circulation speeds through the intersection for all street approaches and greatly improve the safety of the intersection compared to existing conditions.People bicycling would be permitted to travel within the roundabout with motor vehicles, or to enter onto a shared use path and cross adjacent to pedestrians.Mixing zones for people walking and biking would be created on all four corners of the roundabout. These are areas where people biking and walking would be able to navigate around the intersection separated from motor vehicle traffi c. These areas are delineated with specialty pavement to indicate that these areas are for slow and safe travel. The roundabout could also incorporate stormwater treatment to aid in controlling fl ooding, treat stormwater, and recharging ground water.The roundabout proposed for implementation at S 42nd & Daisy as a part of the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project is designed to be uniquely optimized for pedestrian and bicycle circulation, comfort and safety. This is achieved by designing for slow, 15 mph motor vehicle travel speed throughout the roundabout. This slow speed creates low speed diff erentials for cyclists choosing to travel in-lane, and a high degree of yielding to pedestrians and cyclists within the crosswalk. *Federal Highway Administration and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (FHWA and IHS) and https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Safety/roundabouts/benefi ts.htm* *FHWA, Roundabouts: An Informational Guide, 2000. This guide has largely been superseded by NCHRP Report 672, but the compact urban roundabout type illustrated in the earlier guide is more appropriate for this use.ROUNDABOUT SAFETY BENEFITS*• Crash reduction - 37 % reduction in overall collisions - 75 % reduction in injury collisions - 90 % reduction in fatality collisions - 40 % reduction in pedestrian collisions• Reduce delay, improve traffi c fl ow• Less expensive: Installations costs are comparable, however roundabouts eliminate hardware, maintenance and electrical costs associated with traffi c signalsThis is a concept only.

VIRGINIA-DAISY BIKEWAY: REFINED DESIGN CONCEPT17 Parking Utilization AnalysisPARKING CONSOLIDATION TO SUPPORT BIKEWAY IMPLEMENTATIONEstablishing a new bikeway on the Virginia-Daisy corridor involves changes to the street that may include traffi c control changes, lane restriping and roadway reconfi guration. One strategy for creating space for dedicated bike lane facilities is to consolidate street parking on only one side of the street.Underutilized parking lanes can result in higher traffi c speeds and unsafe driving behavior due to the appearance of a wide open travel lane space. Reallocating a portion of underutilized parking or travel lanes as a bike lane can mitigate these issues while providing dedicated space for people biking1.EXISTING CONDITIONSTo support the bikeway design for Virginia-Daisy, the City of Springfi eld supplied on-street parking counts performed at ten diff erent times to cover the variety of conditions encountered on the corridor2. To supplement this data, the city also performed a count based on visual inspection of previously captured photography3. PARKING LANE CAPACITYParking is allowed on the curbside on both sides of the street along the majority of the Virginia-Daisy corridor. Under some conditions, parking use may be prohibited, restricted or unavailable. These conditions include:• Parking is prohibited for 30 ft advance of crosswalks . This applies at all crosswalks4, including all street corners. On the Virginia-Daisy corridor, yellow curbs are only painted on either side of the marked crosswalks by Colony Dr and Ridge Dr.• Spot parking restrictions such as the residential loop at the far East end of the corridor which has no parking permitted on the street (off of Daisy St).• On-street parking is not allowed in front of driveways. Many residential units on the corridor provide their own off -street parking for 1 or 2 vehicles. Curb cuts provide access to these spaces but also prevent on-street parking in that location. • On narrow segments without space for parking. Between S 51st and S 52nd St the street is so narrow that parking would block one travel lane. Parking is prohibited on this segment.COUNT SUMMARYObserved usage of the on-street parking lane at any one time on the full Virginia-Daisy corridor ranges from a low of 74 vehicles to a high of 116 vehicles. Specifi c clusters of parking demand varies on the corridor in response to land uses, community destinations and availability of off -street parking.As shown in the table to the right, parking demand is generally consistent from weekday to weekend and morning to evening hours. Special event parking demand (such as a sports event at the Willamalane Center) may exceed the use seen on the average day.AVERAGE PARKING USE FOR EACH BLOCK SEGMENT ON THE CORRIDOR BASED ON DAY AND TIME 1 FHWA.

VIRGINIA-DAISY BIKEWAY: REFINED DESIGN CONCEPT18 Parking Utilization AnalysisBENEFITS• Reduces confl icts with bicyclists as drivers pull into and out of parking spaces and drivers and passengers open doors of parked vehicles.• Provides additional roadway space for bicycle facilities.• Improves sight distance for all roadway users.• Provides clean water recharge and stormwater management via treatment and fl ood control.DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS• On most streets with parking on both sides, parking demand can be accommodated with parking provided on one side. • Parking may be alternated from one side of the street to the other with proper transitioning. This pattern may cause motorists to reduce their speed.IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONSImperfections in the quality or installation of roadway pavement, gutter joints and drainage grates must be held to a higher standard when they are located within a bicycle lane than when located within a parking lane. Construction plans should call for repair of rough or uneven pavement surface, the use bicycle compatible drainage grates, and corrections to raise or lower existing grates and utility covers so they are fl ush with the pavement surface.PROPOSED CHANGESAs part of the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway project, some segments of the corridor may feature consolidated parking lanes in order to visually narrow the roadway and provide space to establish a bike lane. At spot locations across the entire corridor, parking may be restricted in certain locations to allow for trees and crossing enhancements. These spot changes on their own are not expected to have signifi cant impact to parking availability.There are four distinct segments in the project related to parking lane consolidation:S 32nd to S 42nd : In this segment, no parking consolidation is proposed, with no signifi cant eff ect on parking availability.S 42nd to Weyerhauser Hall Rd:This segment proposes parking consolidation on one side of the street. The parking lane may be allocated on the north or south side of the street in response to measured parking demand.The observed weekend parking peak consisted of 15 cars. After implementation, this segment will have an estimated 140 parking spaces, which will more than serve the parking utilization needs.Weyerhauser Hall Rd to Ridge Dr:In this segment, no parking consolidation is proposed, with no signifi cant eff ect on parking availability.Ridge Dr to Bob Straub Parkway:Based on low existing parking utilization, this segment proposes the removal of parking on both sides of the street (with the exception of one block on the north side near 5660 Daisy Street (Western Loop). The observed weekend parking peak consisted of 5 cars. After implementation, this segment will have an estimated 15 parking spaces, which will more than serve the parking utilization needs.Attachment 1, Page 81 of 146

Technical MemoTo: Joe Gilpin, Mary Stewart, ALTA, City of SpringfieldFrom: Jim Pex, P.E.
Date: 7/13/16
Re: 42nd and Daisy/Virginia Planning Level Intersection Safety Analysis
Background: As part of the City of Springfield and ALTA contract agreements, the City requested that Jim
Pex, P.E. (Century West Engineering) provide a planning level review of the intersection at Virginia-Daisy and
South 42nd Street. The review is based on the following parameters:
Sight Distance Standards – AASHTO Method Crossing Sight Distance
T = T(pr) + T(A) = 4.5 sec.T= time to cross, T(pr)=reaction time (2 sec), T(A)= time to
accelerate and cross the intersection (2.5 s field timed)
AASHTO Minimum Stopping Sight Distance for Intersection turns – 250-feet
AASHTO Intersection Sight Distance for passenger Cars Left turn from Stop (35 mph) = 390-
feet
Posted Speed Limit on South 42nd – 35 mph (51.33 ft/sec)
Height of Object (sitting in vehicle, average height of drivers eyes) – 3.25-3.75 feet
Findings
Jim Pex observed and timed vehicles at the intersection the morning of February 19, 2016 at approximately 8
am. Weather was overcast and intermittent drizzle. During the time of observation it was readily apparent
that sight distance issues were a particular problem for vehicles traveling North on 42nd coming out of the
turns south of the intersection with Virginia-Daisy. From this direction of travel, several objects obstruct a full
field of view for the intersection including power poles, planted trees, and placement of vehicles on private
property. Additionally, the last light pole is located roughly 100-feet from the intersection. The power pole at
the SE corner of the intersection potentially blocks the field of view for pedestrians and partially blocks the
view of drivers attempting to turn left from Daisy to go South on 42nd. At the time of observation, Mr. Pex
witnessed a vehicle lock-up its brakes and narrowly miss another vehicle making this turn (left from Daisy on
to SB 42nd). The details of the intersection are shown below:Attachment 1, Page 88 of 146

Crash Data
Crash data was reviewed for the site. No fatalities were shown at the intersection and very few crashes with
physical injuries were noted. However, Oregon is a self-reporting state, so unless obvious injuries occur and
officers are called to the scene, nothing is reported. This produces a limited amount of data to work with.
However, the lack of crashes reported up to 3/16/2015 was a positive.
Intersection Field Investigation
Vehicles timed coming out of the curve where they would have the first opportunity to see someone
(pedestrian or vehicle) located in the middle of the intersection;
Vehicle 1 – 4.5 seconds Vehicle 2 – 5.45 sec Vehicle 3 – 5.15 sec Vehicle 4 – 4.66 sec
Overall average = 4.94 Seconds
From the last visual blockage (light pole at 100-feet south of intersection)
Vehicle 1 – 3.0 sec Vehicle 2 – 3.22 Vehicle 3 – 3.05 Vehicle 4 – 3.22 Vehicle 5 – 3.48 sec
Overall average = 3.19 SecondsAttachment 1, Page 89 of 146
1020 SW Emkay Drive, Suite 100 3
Bend, OR 97702
541.322.8962
Reaction Time and Allowable Sight Distance ComparisonsGeneralized allowable reaction time is 1 second for a middle age driver to recognize an issue. Muscle movement from that reaction is 1.5 seconds in ideal conditions and full awareness of the driver. Realistically an overall assessment is 3 seconds for allowable deviation for age differences of drivers and conditions. Note, this is the time from awareness to the point of muscle movement to react and does not include the time for
a vehicle to come to rest, as those times are dependent on the speed and weight of the vehicle.
Using the reaction time of 3 seconds and a speed of 35 mph (51.33 ft/sec) would give a distance of 154-feet
traveled before the driver reacts. The pin location shown in the following images is located at approximately
154 feet from the intersection. Items in ORANGE show obstructed view obstacles and gray shaded regions
indicate obstructed view zones shown below;Attachment 1, Page 90 of 146
1020 SW Emkay Drive, Suite 100 4
Bend, OR 97702
541.322.8962
Noting again that the last light pole obstruction is located at approximately 99-feet from the intersection, the current configuration does not meet any minimum standard sight distance calculation traveling North into the intersection. Noted from the timing in the field, the time to react (not counting deceleration) is nearly equal to the time measured from the last light pole obstruction for a vehicle to reach the intersection (average of 3.19 sec). The noted obstructions and limited sight distance is below sight distance minimums that include braking distance requirements traveling North into the intersection of 250-feet (AASHTO) and a
comparison of time at 4.87 seconds for a 35 mph roadway. Attachment 1, Page 91 of 146
1020 SW Emkay Drive, Suite 100 5
Bend, OR 97702
541.322.8962
Approaching the intersection from directions other than 42nd Traveling NorthWhile the approach traveling North on 42nd is the worst scenario for the intersection, other approaches to the intersection have similar problems. The ability to approach from the East on Daisy, then turn South onto 42nd has similar sight distance problems noted previously in the opposite direction. Power and light poles create immediate sight barriers, but the driver also has to take into account movement from 3 other
directions prior to proceeding. This complicates vehicle movements and increases reaction time from the
stopped vehicle assessing the ability to turn as shown on the next below;
This does not include the additional time needed for drivers to account for pedestrians in the crosswalk.
Noted previously, 4.5 seconds is the average time from a stopped vehicle to clear an intersection. Adding 1
second to processing each direction of travel prior to starting, it’s reasonable to estimate a vehicle needs 7.5
seconds of clear travel to turn left. This exceeds the visual capabilities for drivers traveling north.
Other visual obstructions at the intersection came from vehicles on private property parked too close to the
intersection. The NW corner and SE portions of the intersection had parked vehicles which impaired the
ability to see oncoming traffic clearly. The location where the vehicles are parked can change daily and
drastically affect the sight corridors of the intersection. Attachment 1, Page 92 of 146

Bend, OR 97702
541.322.8962
Existing Condition Safety SummaryThe intersection in question does not meet sight distance requirements for vehicles traveling South to North on 42nd or from the East to West on Daisy. Traveling from the West on Virginia does not meet requirements when looking south but does meet distances to the North when private vehicles are not parked too close to the intersection. The only direction of travel that meets sight distance standards is traveling North to South
on 42nd Street. The existing right-of-way configuration on south 42nd and corresponding curves limit
improvement options for the intersection.
Interim improvements could include, closing the crosswalk located on the South side of the intersection, and
eliminating left turns onto 42nd from Daisy. The drivers do not have enough time to react at current speed
limits with a clear view of the intersection. Temporary signage should be considered on 42nd Street to notify
drivers of the oncoming intersection. Speed reduction signs are located south of the intersection currently,
however field observations show that vehicles accelerate back to the 35 mph limits on the last turn prior to
the intersection in question based on observation.
Privately parked vehicles are a continuous problem around this intersection. It is recommended that the City
discuss alternative parking options with the property owners and the potential danger the visual
obstructions from parked cars create for people walking, biking and driving through the intersection.Attachment 1, Page 93 of 146

Improvement OptionsALTA has provided multiple options for improvements to the intersection and will be discussed below;Option 1 Round-About Configuration (Preferred Solution)
Pro
Reduces speeds in the intersection
Allows Pedestrian Movement behind thru traffic area
Creates safe areas for Pedestrians.
Accomplishes the goals of the City to create a safer intersection for all users.
Limits the need for additional signals.
Con
Radius Turn on East Daisy will need to be evaluated further in final design.
Southern pedestrian crossing on 42nd should be reviewed and possibly eliminated. Sight distance
concerns pertaining to existing obstructions are outlined within this memo. Speeds, removal of
visual obstructions, and sight distance calculations will need to be checked with the final layout if
the crossing can remain as shown. Final design will provide clarity on this issue.
Will require right-of-way acquisition.Attachment 1, Page 94 of 146

ConclusionDesign option number one (Roundabout) will provide the best alternative to the various issues discussed within this report. This design provides allowance for the ability to slow traffic, continuous movement for vehicles in all directions, advance warning for pedestrians, and safe areas for pedestrians to cross, which all fall within the City’s goals for an improved intersection. However, due to the size and needs
for public right of way for this improvement, it will require acquisition of existing private parcels to meet
minimum standards of design. The entry turning radius angles will need to be verified during final
design to accommodate all vehicles that utilize this busy intersection. Although costs to create this
design are not typically as high as signalized intersections, land acquisition will remain an unknown cost
to move forward. If land acquisition becomes too cumbersome to continue, the next best option is to
signalize the intersection and provide direct control over the movements for vehicles and pedestrians.Attachment 1, Page 98 of 146

1/29/16
Development & Public Works Department Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Communications Plan 2016 Introduction The City of Springfield was selected to receive funding for Virginia-Daisy Bikeway project covering the design development and selection phase through the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee’s Transportation Enhancement grant program. The goal of the project is to provide a safe and comfortable bicycle corridor that can be used by people of all ages and abilities. Additionally, the design should enhance the overall appeal of the corridor for all users, improve pedestrian safety and
usage, and provide traffic calming for automobile traffic to emphasize the active transportation priority
along the bikeway.
This Communications Plan will support the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway project by setting objectives,
strategies, and tactics to increase awareness and understanding of the overall project and specifically
to inform Springfield residents that live within the project area about the overall goal of the project and
opportunities to give input.
Individual tactics identified in this plan will be developed using this plan as a guide and the Virginia-
Daisy Bikeway Communications Project Plan will contain more in-depth details. Tactics may be used
multiple times to implement more than one communication strategy. This plan will be updated as
needed during the duration of the project and was developed using the DPW Communication Team’s
guiding principles that project information provided is accurate, effective, consistent, cost-efficient,
engaging, and fun.
Goals
The goals of this plan will help guide the overall communications for the project.

A significant number of Springfield residents that are located within the project area provideinput on the project.Opportunities to continually improve project communication are captured.Core Message These core messages help describe the need for a project communications plan and provide consistent messages for implementing and managing the plan. The City of Springfield is committed to providing safe transportation options.
The goal of the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway project is to provide a safe and comfortable bicycle
corridor that can be used by people of all ages and abilities.
The design of the bikeway should enhance the overall appeal of the corridor for all users,
improve pedestrian safety and usage, and provide traffic calming for automobiles to emphasize
active transportation along the street and enhance the neighborhood feel.
There will be multiple ways for the Springfield community to receive and seek project
information and provide input on the project; specifically the design of the bikeway.
Audience
The target audiences for project information will be the broader Springfield community, and
specifically residents that are located within and around the project area; immediately along Virginia
Street and Daisy Street. Also, the City will engage partner agencies that will be involved in the design
and subsequent construction for the project. Audiences will be provided information that aligns with
communications guiding principles.
Strategies & Tactics
The strategies and tactics of this plan will be implemented to reach the stated objectives. Strategies
define how to achieve overall objectives by answering the “what” will be done. The strategies outlined
in this plan were developed to address all objectives. The tactics answer the “how” by identifying the
specific activities that will be implemented to further strategies and overall objectives. Key staff
identified for each tactic will provide direction and/or input on implementation.
1.Provide the Springfield community multiple ways to receive and seek project information.
2.Inform Springfield residents that are located within the project area about the project and
opportunities to give input.
3.Elicit feedback from the community to improve two-way communication.
4.Evaluate the effectiveness of strategies and tactics implemented and adjust as needed.Attachment 1, Page 101 of 146

VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Log of Written Comments2/5/2016,Resident at 40th and Virginia Ave:Is the City planning to eliminate parking along Virginia Ave.to put in bike lanes?Many of my neighborsareupsetaboutthispossibility.This would be VERY distressing due to the fact that this is the onlyparkingforanyguestsatmyhouse.My suggestion for bike safety on this street is not to add bike lanes,but to find some way to slow traffic down.City Staff called Resident at 40th and Virginia Ave back:spoke with him about the project andaddedhimtotheinterestedpartieslist.
5/18/2016,Resident at 48th and Daisy St:
I’m excited to see that there could possibly be a roundabout at the 42nd Street Intersection (that
intersection is a huge pain when driving and biking).My house is located on the South side of Daisy St.
at the intersection of Daisy St.and S.48th St.One of the proposed plans show a tree being placed right
in front of my house.Is there any way to request a tree not to be placed in front of my house?There
used to be a tree near where this proposed tree is,and the roots of that tree snaked its way all
throughout the yard and under the house.That tree was cut down several years ago,and when we
installed a sprinkler system in our front yard 2 years ago,we had the task of digging up all those roots,
and I would hate for a new tree’s roots to do the same thing.
My dog and I go on a lot of bike rides,and we always see families out with small children biking as well,
but we tend to bike on the Weyerhaeuser Haul Rd.to avoid all the traffic.Am I correct in assuming that
you wouldn’t be able to turn that into a nice bike path because it’s owned by
Weyerhaeuser?Weyerhaeuser Haul Rd.could make an awesome bike path because it’s away from cars,
and it would be safer for folks with kids,and dogs.
Thanks!!

Hi (48th and DaisySt Resident),
Thank you very much for reaching out to me regarding the VirginiaDaisy Bikeway project.
We are in the preliminary design concept phase of the project and there are still plenty of
opportunities for amendments to the initial design concepts.The tree wells depicted in the
preliminary design are conceptual and the specific locations of that treatment are yet to be
determined.I have documentedyour request and will make sure that it is incorporated into
design conversations as we refine the project.Your input is greatly appreciated.
The Weyerhaeuser Haul Rd is also identified in the City’s Transportation System Plan as an
opportunity for additional pedestrian and bicycle improvements.Willamalane and the City will
be partnering on that project,but it is a separate project from the onstreet VirginiaDaisy
Bikeway project that is currently underway and has funding available.I will be reaching out to
Willamalane staff and to learn more about the timeline for improvements along the
Weyerhaeuser Haul Rd since other residents in the area have also asked the same question.Attachment 1, Page 104 of 146

I am the owner of XXXX Daisy property.
I received a post card with information regarding the project.I would like to be included in receiving
additional information and details of upcoming meetings.
I was unable to find when and where the open houses will be held.I would like to add –the post card is
the first I have heard of the project but I am thrilled and would like to support the effort.
Thank you!
5/26/2016,Community Member:
I was unable to attend the meeting,but would like to suggest this:
There are few places for these people to walk safely without being endangered bybikes/skateboards.
Families with toddlers,and elderly persons would appreciate a "walking only"lane on one side of a
bikeway (could just be painted on).
City Reply
Thank you for your comment.Have you had a chance to look through the Preliminary Design
Concepts,available on the VirginiaDaisy Bikeway project website?The current preliminary
concepts propose including additional sidewalk and ramps to fill the gaps that currently exist
along the corridor.Typically we would not stripe a walking lane along a street in the same
location where sidewalks are provided.

...sidewalks/ramps are great....perhaps occasional signs re where skateboards go

VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Log of Written Comments5/31/2016,Resident at Bob Straub Parkway and DaisySt:Dear Ms.Newman:I do have a lot of questions.I live on the corner of Daisy and Bob Straub.1.Where is all the money coming from for this project?When they put in Bob Straub parkway they hadnicewidesidewalks.I have tried walking them but the exhaust fumes from all the vehicles make thatunpleasantandunhealthy.
2.Are there plans to install traffic signals at the corners of 42nd and one for Bob Straub and Daisy?One
can hardly get off or on 42nd and the curve before Daisy is deadly.Drivers on Bob Straub try to beat the
traffic signals coming from the south and going north.It is quite hard to get across Bob Straub and
walking requires either going down the block to the south or going north to one of the median strips.
There have been quite a few accidents at that corner.
3.I walk on Daisy Street and there are houses all along 98%of Daisy Street.How are you going to widen
these streets so you can put in extra trees and lanes?Is this another plan to steal land so our properties
are devalued or raise taxes?Will this mean I will be able to step from my front door directly on to Daisy?
4.I do not have a problem crossing Daisy.Why would you need a special walk way?The biggest problem
are the cars racing through the intersection of Daisy and Bob Straub.If you happen to be crossing at the
corner at Daisy you better be ready to run.I suspect there is a problem at the 42nd St crossing also.
You can't fix stupid which is how most people drive and pedestrians think they are special and can stop
3000 lb vehicles.EVERYONE needs to pay attention whether walking or driving.

Hi (Resident),
Thank you for writing to us regarding the VirginiaDaisy Bikeway project.Here are some
responses to your questions:
1.There is some federal funding for an overlay project that will precede the bikeway
treatments.The bikeway project itself is funded through the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian
Advisory Committee’s enhance grant funds.Some additional funds may be allocated to be able
to cover the cost of safety improvements at the 42nd and Daisy intersection,depending on the
final cost of the project.Attachment 1, Page 106 of 146
VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Log of Written Comments2.A full traffic signal is one of the current preliminary design concepts under consideration forthe42ndandDaisyintersection.To see the full preliminary design concepts and specifically viewthe42ndandDaisyintersectiontreatmentsunderconsideration,please click here (pages 7 9).For the full project website,please visit http://www.springfieldor.gov/dpw/VirginiaDaisyBikewayProject.htm.The project is working to address the safety concerns at the 42nd andDaisyintersectionthatyoustated.The Daisy and Bob Straub Parkway intersection is not withinthescopeofthisspecificproject.We recognize that intersection could also benefit fromimprovements,but no funding is available for that location at this point.
3.The majority of the project will maintain existing curbto curb widths with the exception of a
little bit of potential corner widening at 42nd St.We also heard from residents along the corridor
at the Open House last week that they would like to see the narrow section between 51st and
52nd widened.There would be no widening along the portion of Daisy St near your location.
4.The project design’s goal is to enhance the overall appeal of the corridor for all users,
improve pedestrian safety and usage,and provide traffic calming for automobiles to emphasize
active transportation along the street and enhance the neighborhood feel.We hope that this
will address your concern regarding cars racing along the corridor.I am not sure which specific
special walk way you are referencing in the design,but would be happy to answer your question
if you clarify the location.
Thanks again for your input,
Emma Newman

Thank you Ms.Newman for your prompt reply.I passed it along to some of the people
in the HOA.
6/1/2016,Resident at 49th and Daisy St:
Questions we have as residents of Daisy Street:
Will the hazardous old maple trees come down that were severely damaged in the ice storm two years
ago?One of the cityowned trees in front of our house has a split that’s about 20 feet in length from the
tree top to the trunk area.When the wind blows we can still hear cracking in the upper limbs,and a lot
of debris still drops periodically to the ground.The tree is not safe to be left in the condition it’s
currently in.We repaired our own roof and replaced our own broken window,caused by the storm,
after we didn’t hear back from the city with 3 attempts to get in touch with them following the storm.
Will parking be restricted making it difficult for home owners that live along Daisy?
Specifically,what will be done to slow traffic as we see numerous cars blow through the only stop sign
(at 49th Place)between 42nd and Bob Straub?Our 16box mailbox was knocked off the support andAttachment 1, Page 107 of 146
VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Log of Written Commentstossedacrossadrivewayfromacarthatspedthroughthestopsignafterithit another car.It thenrestedonthewrongsideofthestreetintheyard(2 houses from the stop sign)across from ourproperty.Current traffic completely disregards the speed signs posted.We know of 5 cats including 2ofoursthathavebeenkilledinfrontofourhouse.There are a lot of young children that now live nearourhome.It’s hard enough to see animals killed,but we cannot help but be concerned about childreninourneighborhood.What will be done to the area that bottlenecks between 51st and 53rd,where there is a fence built on
the curb?
Will the traffic still be blocked on 49th Place where road access to Main Street once existed?49th Place
to Main became a WALKING PATH (seriously?)when a series of apartments were built in the field that
was once a Drivein Theater.This makes it very hard for cars to pass to Main Street between the
assisted living housing and apartments meandering around to come out at 48th and Main.That street is
barely passable by two cars going in opposite directions now;therefore,people blow through our street
to get to either 42nd or Bob Straub.It makes one wonder who dreams up such plans?Certainly not
someone who lives in this neighborhood.
This was a wonderful treelined sleepy lane when we moved in 21 years ago.That peace and quiet was
completely destroyed when the city punched through Weyerhaeuser Road making this a speedway.Our
street became one of the longest parallels to Main.Since that street change we see many frightening
characters day and night that now roam the street,some digging through residents’garbage cans.And,
we’ve witnessed highspeed pursuits by police attempting to do their job when chasing criminals.This is
no longer the pleasant area we once experienced.Hopefully some of your plans with these proposed
bike lanes will do something to correct some ofthe difficulties that were created when Daisy Street’s
neighborhood was turned into a highspeed nightmare.
Thank you for listening to these questions and concerns,
(Resident)
City Reply Part 1
Thanks for writing with regards to the VirginiaDaisy Bikeway project.I am looking into some of
your questions regarding the tree concerns with our maintenance staff and will send you a full
reply to your email when I am back in the office early next week.
The full Preliminary Design Concepts are available on the project website at
http://www.springfieldor.gov/dpw/Transportation/SupportFiles/Virginia
Daisy_Bikeway_Preliminary_Design_Concepts.pdf.A variety of different traffic calming
treatments are proposed,which may interest you and address some of your concerns expressed
below.
City Reply Part 2Attachment 1, Page 108 of 146
VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Log of Written CommentsHi(Resident),Thanks again for writing to us with regards to the VirginiaDaisy Bikeway project.Below I haveprovidedtheanswerstoyourvariousquestions.1) Our operations and maintenance staff are looking into the trees that you described andassessingwhatcanbedonetoimprovethesituation.The preliminary feedback was thatitappearsasifthetreesweretoppedmanyyearsagoandarenowexperiencingtheresultsoftopping.
2) The majority of the existing parking is maintained in the Preliminary Design Concepts.
The last page of the document explains the parking utilization study that was conducted,
which informed the Preliminary Design Concepts.Some locations have parking
consolidated to one side of the street in locations where very low utilization was
observed.As you can see for your portion of the corridor,almost all of the existing
parking would be maintained as currently proposed.The primary treatment proposed is
a shared lane marking,also known as a “sharrow,”which is marked with paint.
Additional trees are proposed at some locations along the corridor to help provide
additional traffic calming and neighborhood beautification.As the design progresses
from preliminary concept into a refined design,we will work with residents along the
corridor to place trees in the most appropriate locations.The result will most likely be
fewer trees than are currently shown.The trees would also be selected to be
appropriate street tree varieties so they do not create some of the same problems you
are currently experiencing with the silver maples.What do you think about the trees?
3) Traffic calming to create an environment that encourages people to drive neighborhood
appropriate speeds is a priority for the project.Along the corridor,we are looking at a
variety of different physical engineering treatments to achieve this goal.There are
various locations that are being considered for raised crosswalks,others with mini
roundabouts (see attached photo),as well as a few locations with planted buffer areas.
The trees that are proposed would also help traffic calm as well,which helps to prevent
people from speeding.The Preliminary Design Concepts show a raised crossing or mini
roundabout treatment every several blocks,which would help deter people from using
the length of the corridor as a speedway.Additionally,we are looking to fill in a few
sidewalk gaps that exist to ensure pedestrians have a safe place to walk.
4) The Preliminary Design Concept shows additional sidewalk being added to fill in the
existing gap from 51st to 53rd and to provide one travel lane in either direction.This
configuration would also be signed with no parking through the narrow section,similar
to how it is currently unsafe to park in that location.The preliminary proposal would not
require any additional right of way.The gentleman’s property you referred to comes up
to the edge of the road currently.I’d be interested to hear your thoughts about this
couple block area.
5) The location to the north of Daisy at 49th Pl is not within this project’s scope,but
appreciate your feedback about that location as well.Attachment 1, Page 109 of 146

Letter from Two Residents at 44th and 45th and Daisy:
Dear Emma Newman:
We are contacting you to give our opinion of the proposed VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Project.We realize
that the project has already been decided on and that it is likely too late to cancel the project,but we
would still like to state our objections.
1.Before city officials decide to do something,they should live in the neighborhood for a year or two in
order to understand the dynamic of the neighborhood.Since that is likely impossible,a questionnaire
should be sent to those who live in the neighborhood to assess the feasibility of a project.
2.When it was decided to put Daisy Street completely through,we were assured that our neighborhood
wouldn't be impacted by extra traffic.Before the street was put through,we had approximately 300
vehicles a day drive past our houses.Most of those were in the morning,people in the neighborhood
going to work,or in the late afternoons when they were returning home.We had very little traffic mid
day and late at night.Now,traffic is constant.I believe that you're count shows approximately 3000
vehicles a day.Those vehicles ignore traffic safety and regulations.We have vehicles going by our house
at 4080 mph mid day and late at night.
3.Because of the excess traffic,the road surface has deteriorated.The street was repaved several years
ago,when the anticipated traffic load was approximately 300 vehicles per day.Now that the traffic load
is 3000 vehicles per day,the pavement is in extremely bad condition.
4.We have noticed that where there are bike lanes,bicyclists realize that they're being encouraged to
use those routes.But...they don't use the bike lanes.They ride on the sidewalks.One of us was struck
by a bicyclist when she was walking down the sidewalk and the cyclist,coming up behind her,wasn't
paying attention to where he was going or what was in his path.Like vehicle drivers,bicyclists often are
busy talking or texting with their cell phones and not paying attention to what is around them or in their
path.
5.With the increased amount of traffic caused by the through opening of Daisy Street,it's very difficult
to back out of our driveways when we need to go somewhere.We frequently have to wait for several
minutes before there is a large enough gap in traffic to allow us to back out without causing an accident.Attachment 1, Page 110 of 146
VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Log of Written Comments6.Because we already have a large number of bicyclists traveling on this street (actually riding on thesidewalksincethat's where they prefer to ride)we have almost caused an accident with a bicycle.Theydon't follow common laws (bicyclists are supposed to follow basic traffic laws about which side of thestreettoridewhengoingaparticulardirection,etc.).They pay no attention to cars trying to legally exitadrivewayorsidestreet.7.One of the issues that is a problem in the section of Daisy Street where we live is designating parkingonthenorthsideofthestreet,the side of the street where our houses are located.We live across thestreetfromtheCountryManorMobileHomePark.At one time,it was a Mobile Home Park.Now,it a
trailer court.The Park has rules and regulations about how many vehicles can be parked in and around
each space.
If the residents of a particular space have more vehicles than permitted,then they park them along
Daisy Street.With designated parking on the north side of the street,the side where we live,then those
extra vehicles will be parked in front of our homes.That means our invited guests,family and friends,
won't be able to park by our home.They might have to park several blocks away.This last weekend,
there were 6 vehicles parked on the south side of Daisy Street.When the Bikeway is established,those
vehicles will have to park on the north side of the street.I don't know how you feel about the area in
front of your home being taken up with parking by strangers,but it doesn't sit well with us.
Daisy Street was originally a quiet,back street in a residential neighborhood.It was not designed to be a
major thoroughfare,an adjunct to Main Street.However,with the changes that have been made,and
that are scheduled to be made,it is no longer the quiet family area where we have lived for so long.
Sincerely,
(Resident)

City Reply (Letter Mailed 7/1/2016)
Thank you for sending in your letter expressing your opinions on the project.We are still in the
process of collecting input from residents in the area.Final decisions on design have not been
made yet and there are more opportunities coming up to express you opinion moving forward.
We have heard similar concerns from our police department and others in the neighborhood in
relation to the numerous occurrences of speeding along the corridor.One of the goals of the
project is to improve safety by installing traffic calming measures to get vehicles to slow down.
In relation to your comment about road deterioration,this project is being performed in
combination with a repaving project to address the roadway condition.By combining our
efforts for preservation and enhancement we hope to save money,minimize construction
impacts to the citizens on the corridor and return the street to more of aresidential
neighborhood condition and detract its use as a higher speed major thoroughfare.
If you would like to provide additional comments,we have another public open house coming
up from 6:00 to 7:30pm on Tuesday July 12,2016 at Papa’s Pizza on Main Street.You are always
welcome to contact us directly as well and we are more than willing to set up a time to come to
your residence to discuss your concerns in person.Attachment 1, Page 111 of 146
VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Log of Written CommentsThankyou,Michael Liebler and Emma Newman7/10/2016,Resident at 51st and Daisy St:Hi,
Finally got a chance to look at project ideas.
I have lived here on Daisy for 14 years and can say without a doubt that a round about at the 42nd and
Daisy intersection is a bad idea.
I've always wished for a traffic light there.
As having driven my children to Mt.Vernon Elementary has always been a dangerous endeavor.
Please put up traffic lights!!!It would be better for everyone.
City Reply:Emma Newman called resident back and shared project update and answered
questions.Emma shared the safety information from the project and explained the benefits
associated with roundabouts compared with traffic signals and she said,“what do I know?If a
roundabout is safer,that’s good.”Overall,she was very glad that something will be done to
address the safety at 42nd and Daisy St and along the corridor.
7/12/2016,Property Owner at 40th and Virginia Ave:
Emma,
My name is XXXX.I am a teacher and I own a home at XXXX Virginia with my husband and my 1.5 year
old son who was at the open house with me tonight.(I felt awkward because I forgot his shirt.Oops!)
We didn't stay long.
I wanted to say that overall I think this project is a great idea for Springfield.I heard many people who
seemed caught up in the nitpicking specifics as it pertains to their house.I am fortunate that we live in
the cul desac and therefore my home won't be directly impacted,but I will be driving and walking this
bikeway everyday.I think it will make it safer and more enjoyable for pedestrians and bikers as well as
the kids playing in their yard.
Thanks,

VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Log of Written Commentsup.We will be having a public hearing at the City Council this fall,tentatively scheduled forOctober3rdifyou'd like to provide additional comment.7/15/2016,Resident at S 44th St:I received the post card in the mail re:the open house to discuss this project.I was unable to attend butdohavesomeinput.I live off of Daisy on S.44th.I have nearly been hit on my bike a handful of times trying to cross at 42nd headed south while I'm on
my bike.This is the route to Clearwater bike path that my family uses.My daughter is in middle school
and I will not let her ride her bike to school (ASMS)due to this bike crossing problem.Not only would a
rounda bout be helpful for pedestrian and bicycle crossing,it would make traffic slow down for cars
too.the corner south of daisy on 42nd street does not have good vision to predict turning times from
daisy to 42nd in any direction.Often traffic is speeding around this corner.
In addition,my middle school daughter has a babysitting job that she bikes to on 50th pl.,so she heads
east on Daisy.It is not at all set up for bicyclists and is concerning for sharing of the road.I,at this time,
have advised her to ride her bicycle on the sidewalks (wherethere are actually sidewalks).This is
unreasonable for the amount traffic,cars and bicycles,in this area of town.
I think this proposal is worth being pushed.My family would very much benefit from the improvements.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help this to come to fruition.

Hi,I missed coming to the open house last Tues.July 12th,and main input I had concerns the
intersection at 42nd and Daisy.I gave comment earlier at the Mt.Vernon School display to the effect
that I thought we seriously needed a regular traffic light at that intersection,but now realize it's pretty
close to the intersection at 42nd and Main Street to be having another traffic light so soon on 42nd south
of Main Street.I would be content with a "calming"traffic circle at that intersection,but I wonder how
it could be done with homes presently on every corner of that intersection and having enough landAttachment 1, Page 113 of 146

The singlelane roundabout that is the preferred design concept treatment for the 42nd and
Daisy intersection would require some additional space on a couple of the corners.However,we
have spoken multiple times with the property owners whom we would be buying a small
portion of land from and they are supportive of the project and have both expressed support for
increased safety at the intersection.As the project moves from design concepts into detailed
design in the fall,we will continue to work with the property owners to reduce impacts to their
properties.

General Comments:
32nd and Virginia –slow traffic down turning onto Virginia Ave with the proposed intersection
treatment.Supports sharrows.Concerned about trees and effecting visibility.
Not happy with roundabout proposal.Improve intersection at Daisy and Bob Straub Parkway
(roundabout would be OK)and 42nd and Daisy (but not roundabout).Loss of parking on one side
of the street.
Interested in bike path.Does not like proposed design concepts proposed today.City of
Springfield is running a parallel project with Booth Kelly and Weyerhaeuser Rd.Why spend
taxpayer money on VirginiaDaisy on residential street with more conflicts?Would like to see
offstreet paths developed instead.
No trees that the City has to maintain,staff and funds do not exist.Miniroundabouts are okay if
they don’t block the view so that neighbors can’t see across or down the street.Don’t mess with
the parking.
Changing 42nd and Daisy intersection is great.Roundabout option is good.Opening Daisy and
adding sidewalks and the buffered bike lanes are great.Overall good conversations from folks
who live along Daisy and want to slow the traffic.Keep up the good work.Concern about 53rd
[51st –52nd]and Daisy issue –property and fence are at the street,would like to see widened
improvements.
Like the roundabouts with single lanes for slowing traffic and it makes it safer for bikes.Bike
boxes are great.Also buffered bike lanes in some places are great for safety.Not enough speed
bumps [raised crosswalks].Great job!
Roundabout at 42nd would work if all the blind spots were removed.Having a curb extension
close to my address is a great idea and would slow traffic.More narrowed,raised crossings.
Keep up the great work.
Roundabout will keep traffic flowing and provide safe crossing for pedestrians and bicycles.Add
more speed bumps [raised crosswalks]and raised crosswalks between 42nd and 46th.Slow traffic
on Daisy.Keep green space between sidewalk and street.
Would like to see more raised crossings.Keep up the good work.Would like the right turn on
42nd only.
Yes,most of the ideas are great.42nd and Daisy no roundabout.Light would be better.S 52nd St
and Daisy is a concern.Attachment 1, Page 116 of 146
VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Open House #1 Comments Excited project is moving forward and it has been needed in Springfield.Would like to see moreofthisinthefuture,great job!The roundabouts,just the large one [42nd]are a bit concerningregardingpedestriansafety,which is usually caused by unobservant drivers. More bikers =more broke people who steal my stuff.When Albert Einstein made the nuclearbombandthearmyusedithefeltterrible.I feel the engineers off this project will feel the same.Does not support the design.The trees are going to be absolutely terrible for bikes and a busstop[school bus]is where one of the trees is currently located in the design. Slow the traffic down with speed bumps [raised crossings],traffic circles [miniroundabouts]and
stop signs.Traffic circles are fine and the large speed bumps.Use the money to pave existing
spur streets and put in speed bumps to slow traffic.Already have enough nonmaintained trees
on the street.More stop signs and traffic islands.Does not really like the proposed design.
Street parking would be gone.More bike traffic means more transient traffic.Cars already being
broken into and bikes being taken from property.Maybe come down the street after 7pm and
on the weekends to see everyone parked on the street.
Support the shared travelway,beacons at 32nd and Virginia Ave,miniroundabouts at 35th and
41st,bicycle lanes on Daisy all the way,and 42nd/Daisy traffic light,full signal preferred.Adding
trees is not necessary,let people do it in front of their house if they want to.Safely crossing 42nd
and Daisy on foot or bicycle is concerning currently,as well as 32nd and Bob Straub.Can the
Weyerhaeuser Haul Rd have a path without the gates on either end?
The width of the street is inadequate now.Condemn the north side to allow the street to be
widened [52nd].

VirginiaDaisy Bikeway Open House #2 CommentsCommentssubmittedbyOpenHouse#2 participants:Comment form question:“Are the proposed refined design concepts presented today moving in therightdirection?” Yes –8 participants Maybe –1 participant No –3 participants
General Comments:
Yes!Thank you for the excellent design and safety!So nice and upgrading to all areas.This
design just rocks!Great job Springfield.
No.Remove in street tree planting.Buffered bike lanes restrict on street parking.Design
impediments fail to acknowledge MD50 standards and restrict movement of mobile homes.My
concerns are loss of on street parking,extra maintenance costs for in street trees,parkingloss
will adversely impact residents along Daisy,the general design will cause movement problems
with manufactured homes and large vehicles.Why not utilize Booth Kelly and Weyerhaeuser
Haul Road as bicycle path,it would be cheaper.
I like basically everything,especially all the roundabouts and flipped stop sign.Also the
protected bike lanes.Please,please push for the 54th St.connection to Safeway and remove the
gate on the Weyerhaeuser trail.Thank you!Keep up the good work.
I like these refined design concepts:yes,as far as I understand them.My concerns are what kind
of trees will be added?And where?
I like the roundabout at 42nd.I suggest omitting the trees.My concerns are trees in the street –
especially by our house 4022 Virginia –tress already in parking strips don’t get trimmed.
I like the treat 36th across from the mail boxes at 3566.Where I live the traffic through here
travels very fast –too fast.My concerns are between 32nd and 37th is a speedway.A lot of pre
school aged kids at 33rd and 35th.
I don’t want to change the street.
Roundabout at 42nd and Daisy is a great idea for safety of drivers and pedestrians.
I like street modification of curb extension planted area,added trees,and raised crosswalks.My
concerns are parking in front of mail boxes prevents delivery of the mail.
I think that the bike route should utilize the Weyerhaeuser Haul Road once you get to 49th going
east.I understand Willamalane owns this path.This would bring a ride out on 57th and the stop
light across Bob Straub.I realize that Bob Straub is not part of this project,but the route leads
you to a crossing that is very difficult.I think the roundabout at 42nd St.is an excellent idea.I
have ridden the Daisy/Virginia route many times and have not had any problems with traffic.
This corridor does not seem to be a cut through.Traffic seems to be mostly local residents.I am
not sure all of the traffic calming is necessary or justified.Sharrows would be nice and bike route
signs.My concern is the Bob Straub crossing.Is there any concern about changing the stop signs
at 37th and 38th causing traffic to use this as a cut through or increase car speed?I like the 32nd
St.crossing concept as a lot of kids could use this crossing.Is there a future plan for west ofAttachment 1, Page 122 of 146

No tree at 3495 Virginia Ave.
S.35th and Virginia Ave.I favor roundabout here at 35th for safety.
S.35th and Virginia Ave.Round on 37th needed,not on 35th.Oregon and Virginia both have stop
signs.No problems there but several accidents are on 37th,39th,and 40th every year.
We don’t want speed bumps that will cause damage to our camp trailers.Too tall and it will
cause damage.
S.35th and Virginia Ave.–Remove this tree
S.35th and Virginia Ave.–Mine are perfect
S.37th and Virginia Ave.–Vehicles hit 35th37 th.Add speed cushions before 35th and 38th.

S.40th and Virginia Ave.–Please no trees @ 4022 Virginia
S.40th and Virginia Ave.–Median island will interfere with emergency vehicle’s ability to make
turns at 40th and Virginia.
S.40th and Virginia Ave.–Leave street the way it was –no trees 4022 Virginia Ave.
S.40th and Virginia Ave.–4042 Virginia leave street as is.People park their cars in street.

S.42nd Ave.and Daisy St.–Yes!To the roundabout.o Yes!Roundabout at 42nd St.much safer than is nowPage6: Daisy St.between S.42nd Pl.and S.43rd St.–Concern about parking in front of mail boxes
preventing postal delivery.

Country Manor Mobile Home Park periodically enforces #of vehicles per space.At some times
of the year cars will be bumper to bumper on the south side of Daisy.
Page 11:
Daisy St.between S.48th St.and Camellia St.–I like the look of trees,but not the silver maple
that the contractor put on either side of my driveway.They are huge,with roots cracking and
raising the sidewalk and my driveway and yard.4833 Daisy..
No trees at 4801 Daisy Please.Thanks.
More raised crossings along Daisy would be great.Between Weyco Rd.and 47th.Thank you.
At 4819 Daisy and 4817 we don’t want the tree but we would like a speed bump.Speed bumps
every few blocks.
S.48th St.and Daisy St.–Speed bump doesn’t also need to be narrowed.It disrupts traffic more
than reduce speeding.Speed bump is enough.
4817 Daisy has a 37’motor home that would not fit with the proposed tree.We need to be able
to park to load andunload.
The more speed bumps the more it will slow people down.If we don’t get them they will speed
up after they over them.

Springfi eld Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: What is the Springfi eld Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project?A: The Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project will develop a preferred design to provide a safe and comfortable
bicycle corridor that can be used by people of all ages and abilities from 32nd St to Bob Straub Pkwy
along Virginia St and Daisy Ave. Additionally, the design will enhance the overall appeal of the corridor
for all users and residents, improve pedestrian safety and usage, and provide traffi c calming to
emphasize the active transportation priority along the street. The project will provide an east-west
alternative to Main Street for people wishing to ride bicycles in our community. Once the fi nal design is
selected, the project will move forward into construction in summer 2017.
Q: Why is the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project necessary?
A: The City of Springfi eld is committed to providing safe transportation options.
The Virginia-Daisy Bikeway will serve as a key east-west connection in the Springfi eld bicycle network
and will provide a more comfortable alternate biking route instead of along Main St. The project is
consistent with the Springfi eld Transportation Plan, TransPlan, the Central Lane MPO Regional
Transportation Plan, and the Lane County TSP. It is also identifi ed as a need in the Springfi eld Bicycle Plan.
The Springfi eld Transportation System Plan identifi es the need to, “expand and enhance Springfi eld’s
bikeway system” and “provide bike lanes on collector streets and provide parallel routes and bike
boulevards on adjacent streets where appropriate.”
Q: What changes will be implemented through this project?
A: The changes that will be implemented will be identifi ed through the design development
process, which will include comments and feedback from residents along the corridor and the broader
community. A range of treatments will be considered, including, but not limited to, striping of bicycle
lanes, sharrows, traffi c calming infrastructure, intersection treatments, automobile traffi c diversion,
limited lighting additions, ramp improvements, speed and designation signs, and a crossing
improvement at 42nd St. As the design options are developed and refi ned, updates will be posted to
the project website.
Q: What is the main purpose of the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway?
A: The primary goal of the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway project is to provide a safe and comfortable corridor
that can be used by people of all ages and abilities to ride bicycles to move about our community.Attachment 1, Page 140 of 146
Springfi eld Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project Frequently Asked Questions ContinuedQ: What public outreach and involvement eff orts are proposed for the Virginia-Daisy Bikeway Project?
A: There will be two open houses that residents and community members are encouraged to attend to
