             At present, there is not public street
             or city owned right-of-way east of the
             freeway between Pacific Avenue and
             36th Street. Eclipse Mill Road is
             unpaved and not on city property. To
             correct this disadvantageous situa-
             tion, it is recommended that the citv
             purchase sufficient ROW between
             Pacific Avenue and 36th Street, and
             build a public street- (suggested name;
             "Riverside Drive") with adjacent                EI
             pedestrian/ bicycle path in this
             section. The bikeway should be sepa-
             rated from the roadway to provide a
             safer, more pleasant experience and
             allow dramatic street plantings along
             the street. This section of roadway
             involves the greatest capital cxpcndi-
             ture, but it will provide for both                    M
             auto and bicycle traffic and is a                     C3

             cannot be accommodated in another way.                                                      shoreline alignment conflicts with
                                                                                                         development objectives or is too

                   However, new roadway approximately 50"
                   to 100' back from the shoreline is an
                   attractive alternative from the stand
                   point of providing Phase I access to
                   the river for both pedestrians and

                   few sections where a shoreline road is
                   constructed.       Therefore, if the dis-

                   along the water is not prohibitive,                                                                      Eclipse    Mill Road: This is not City

            Constructing a two-way, 8' bicycle
            lane on the north side of 36th Street
            would avoid most of the driveways and
