prom*, said Eugene Transporta
tion Planner Nathan Duke Tire
Seventh Street on-ramp has the
highest accident rate in Eugene
Each alternative, (resides the
no-build option, seeks to
solve the problem bv ini reusing
the corridor's traffic capacity,
resolving conflicts between cars
and im y< les and encouraging
the use of ' alternative travel
modes," such as walking, rid
ing bicycles and taking the bus
Duke said a successful solu
tion must strike a balance be
tween easing t ar travel and en
couraging the use of alternative
travel modes
"We have to build some con
gestion Into tin! transportation
system .uni provide for allernu
live modes of travel." Duke
said
But Mu iuiel Strain a mem
ber of the South University
Noighhorhood Association
s.nd increasing tile number f
lanes on the Kerry Street Bridge
would only encourage mori
people to drive
i.yni transportation eng.
neers admit that when you
build new capacity into the sis
tern, you alleviate problems in
tile short term, but ill the long
term, traffic me teases. Strain
said
Duke called that concern the
" Field dI Dreams syndrome
It's like. If you huilci It
they will come. " Duke said
If you build a new lane, it wiil
fill up But in reality, people
are making those trips anyway
but not on tins corridor
