safety risk to those who use the park. Mr. Bennett felt attention to this e park should be a high priority of the PARCS Department. E. Traffic on Eastwood and Southwood streets Mr. Holmer said the Hearings Official recently approved redesignation of Eastwood Street for commercial use. He said the street is not equipped to handle the traffic generated by the new use. Residents who live on the street are unhappy with the redesignation and will be pursuing the issue. Mr. Holmer said the residents have suggested diverting the traffic from Eastwood Street to Southwood Street but the idea has not been well-received by the Public Works Department. Mr. Bennett said this is not a new issue; in the past, when a commercial development was planned for the area, residents were not willing to pay for improvements to the street. F. Minutes of EWEB-LEC Meetings Mr. Holmer said discussions between the Lane Electric Co-op and Eugene Water & Electric Board are on-going. He said the minutes of the meeting are interesting and have improved since a neutral party was hired to take them. G. Appeal of Parade Permit Ms. Ehrman said she and Mr. Rutan heard an appeal of a parade permit denial. The issue was resolved by choosing a new route for the parade. She suggested that an odd number of councilors be chosen to hear appeals in the future so e that ties can be broken. Ms. Ehrman also questioned whether the correct ordinance had been used in processing this appeal. H. Notification of Noise Distrubance Ms. Ehrman had received a constituent call about the construction work on 13th Avenue. She said construction workers are starting work at 6 a.m. and the noise is disturbing to area residents. Ms. Ehrman suggested that residents near a construction site be warned in advance of the work that there will be disruptions of this nature. I. Public Access to EWEB Plaza Mr. Miller voiced concern that current access to the EWES building is not inviting to the public. He said it should be made clear that the access is a public access to the plaza and river. J. Access to Railroad Tracks Mr. Miller asked if there are any measures that the City or Southern Pacific Railroad can take to discourage access to the railroad tracks behind Romania's RV Center. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 26, 1988 Page 2
