Police: Increase in drug activity
blamed for proximity of chases

station, Poppe said. He drove
down Alder Street before stop
ping at the parking lot between
the Music School and the Educa
tion building.
A female passenger escaped
from the vehicle. Devault tried to
escape on foot but was caught on
15th Ave. and Alder Street.
Devault was arrested for reck
less driving. Devault had a past
record for driving while his li
cense was revoked, possession of
a concealed weapon and forgery.
No one was injured during any
of the chases in the campus area,
Poppe said.
The low number of students in
the campus area during the chas
es helped to reduce the injuries
caused by the pursuits.
“We are really lucky pedestri
an traffic was light at the time,”
Poppe said. “What we have been
seeing for some time now is an
increasing on East 13th Ave. of
criminals involved with drugs
and with theft, larceny and forg
eries related to drugs. As drugs
move closer to the campus, so
will the chases.”
The best thing for a students to
do when they hear police sirens in
the campus area is to pay attention
and watch out, Poppe said.
Drivers: The board is operated by the
police and public works departments
■ Continued from Page 1
“Public works sets it up in the
morning and the police take it
down at night,” Ludeke said. “It’s
a cooperative effort.”
The radar board, which was
first used in Eugene on Friday,
Dec. 13, is moved to a different
area in the city every day.
“It has it’s own schedule on the
city calendar,” Powers said.
The radar board is used in ar
eas that are listed on what traffic
engineers call the “traffic calm
ing” list.
Locations are ranked according
to speeds and traffic safety prob
lems, Ludeke said.
“We start with areas at the top
of the list and work our way
down,” he said.
While the University is not on
the radar board schedule for the
next few weeks, there is a possi
bility that it may be in the future.
“There have been a number of
complaints in the University
area,” Ludeke said. “So it is a pos
sibility that the board will move
out there to help with traffic prob
lems.”
The radar is only one of the
ways to handle traffic problems.
While other options make take
years to implement, the radar
board is one way to help cut
down on speeders right now,
Ludeke said.
Data used to measure the effec
tiveness of the radar board are
collected after the board is moved
from the area.
“We collected speed data in the
past,” Ludeke said. “Now we
need to wait and see if there is an
improvement in the areas the
radar has left.”
Data collection has been put on
hold due to the recent bad weath
er conditions.
“We use the hoses with coun
ters to collect data,” Ludeke said.
“When the weather is bad it is
hard to get out there to set them
up.”
Reactions to the new radar
have been limited.
“Most of what we’ve gotten has
been positive,” Ludeke said. “But
we don’t get much reaction from
the motorists. It’s mostly from the
people living in the neighbor
hoods where we put the board.”
While no plans are set to order
more radar boards, others may be
purchased based on the experi
ence with the first board over the
next several months, Ludeke said.
