PPPM conducts traffic survey
By Bob Waite
Emerald Reporter
Would the University's parking snarl, the pro
posed parking garage on Alder Street, and the
Kerry Street Bridge? traffic jam problems be solved
if campus commuters used the Autzen stadium
parking lot?
The University Planning, Public Policy and
Management Department sought to answer those
questions by conducting a survey, and a transpor
tation engineering consultant said the survey re
suits may indicate some solutions
PPPM researchers re< enlly asked campus facul
ty. staff and students how they felt about using
transportation means other than one person one
car to get to campus.
‘The real notion of the survey
was to determine if people
would get out of their cars and
use something else. ’
— David Povey
"The whole purpose was to see if there was a
market for alternative transportation." said David
Povey, the PPPM professor who directed the sur
vey.
Survey respondents were asked a variety ol
questions to see how they felt about alternative
transportation methods, such as using the usually
vacant 5,500 parking spaces at Autzen Stadium
in conjunction with one of several shuttle op
tions.
The most popular alternatives, linked with the
Autzen parking lot, were using city buses to cross
the Ferry Street Bridge, or rubber tired trolleys to
cross a possible addition to the Autzen Foot
Bridge, Povey said.
Povey said the University community contrib
tiles to traffic snarls on the f erry Street HriclRt*. in
addition to parking problems on < ampus
Community groups interested in the study re
sults were the City of Eugene. Line Transit l)is
trie t and the University. I’ovey said
“We're going to use the survey results." said
Mike Weishar. transportation engineering consul
tant and former City of Eugene traftii engineer,
who is doing Ferry Street bridge transportation
studies for the City of Eugene.
Government engineers and planners need to
calculate the ac tual impact an Aut/en Stadium
park-and-ride system would have on the Ferry
Street Bridge. Weishar said
A successful park-and-ride program could
mean fewer added bridge lanes, and significant
construc tion cost savings to taxpayers. Weishar
said.
The question is how many people who said
they would consider using alternative transporta
tion actually use it. Weishar said
(liven that the community north of the- Wiliam
ette River is growing, and the proposed River
front Research park will contribute to traffic: and
parking congestion. Povey said it is important to
begin to calculate the public's preference for al
ternative transportation
A proposed parking garage on Alder Street
would add much needed parking, but alternative
transportation use would do the same thing with
out the cost. Povey said
“The less I hear about a high rise parking struc -
ture on Alder Street, the (letter 1 feel,” Povey
said, adding PI’PM researchers hope successful
alternative transportation use will free proposed
parking garage funds for other University needs
“The real notion of the survey was to deter
mine if people would get out of their c ars and use
something else." Povey said
