<br />and Spring project. It says that this project should not go through <br />the Fairmount neighborhood and the only access should be to 30th e <br />Avenue. A typographical error on page 7 was noted, a footnote keyed <br />to Roosevelt Boulevard, should be Railroad Boulevard. <br />Mr. Delay asked for clarification in cross-referencing a couple of <br />projects back to the T-2000 Plan. He wondered where the Royal- <br />Beltline overcrossing came from, and the phasing of Delta Highway, <br />Beltline Road, and ramp construction noted on page 7. He asked for <br />information on the metro-carpool program. <br />Mr. Farah said the metro-carpool program was an idea that came from <br />the Eugeneparatransit report. It is indended to make this an action <br />program to attempt carpool matching programs with governmental offices <br />in the civic center area. If that were successful, the program would <br />be expanded to other private areas, such as the University~ Sacred <br />Heart Hospital, and downtown Eugene. The use of van pooling as a <br />supplement to existing transit service to outlying services would also <br />be investigated. <br />In regard to the Delta Highway-Goodpasture Highway interchange, Mr. <br />Farah said that was not in the T-2000 Plan. It was a project submitted <br />by the County as a safety project involving a ramp off Green Acres <br />Road onto Beltline. He noted the problem there is now fairly serious <br />and as that area develops, staff feels it will become more serious. <br />The Royal-Beltline overcrossing is a project which is envisioned as a <br />safety project. He said some of the projects are fairly major in cost, - <br />but concern safety factors. They weren't in the T-2000 Plan, but had <br />surfaced under the TIP. He noted the value of the TIP as a mechanism <br />to keep track of what is happening in transportation improvements. <br />Public hearing was opened. <br />Pat Hocken, 3135 West 14th Avenue, endorsed the completion of the bike <br />path from City View to Hayes. She noted the difficulty of getting <br />downtown from the west side on a bike, and felt if the bike path were <br />completed that would be one safe way to approach the downtown. She <br />made some comments against the proposed replacement bridge across the <br />Amazon Slough at Acorn Park Street. She felt a new bridge across <br />Amazon in the area was essential because the existing one was struc- <br />turally unsound. She noted the difficulty for firefighting equipment <br />to get to homes in that area as they cannot use the bridge. Her <br />objection is the specific location chosen for the bridge. The draft <br />of the T-2000 Plan included a new bridge at Buck Street which is one <br />block to the west. She said that rather than having it go across <br />Acorn Park (a residential street), the advantage of using the Buck <br />Street route is that if Buck were extended to 11th, it would inter- <br />sect at Seneca Road where there is a stop light. Another advantage <br />of this location is the possibility of reaching Highway 99 without <br />traveling on West 11th. She questioned the use of tax dollars for a <br />new bridge when, in fact, it would do nothing to relieve the access <br />problem from Acorn Park to West 11th. She requested improvements <br /> e <br /> 10/23/78--2 <br /> ~* <br />
