We believe that this service can be self-supporting, and dramatically reduce demand on parking downtown. During non-commute times, the minbuses can be available for large deliveries made by West End and Downtown businesses. Page 2 We plan to develop necessary services , such as childcare, so those who live and work downtown will not need a car. Bicyclists will find a permanent bike valet parking operation in the West End. In this way cyclists can come downtown and check-in their bikes and gear without worry, and go to work or shop.
Bike commuters can use showers and lockers here.
To help create an easier life for the auto-free Eugenean, such as the residents of the West End, we will organize the Transport Card, another successful idea from Europe. Berlin car sharing members hold up their Transport Cards. A fundamental element in these is the bollard. A bollard, along with a change in pavement texture, height and color, lets you know that you are moving into a different transport zone. Lines of bollards also are found between the sidewalk and bike lane, and between the bike lane and the auto lane.
