averred that permeable construction materials in green streets allowed water to be filtered before it went into <br />the watershed. She said the 18-foot streets and 4-foot sidewalks would keep most walkways off the road, <br />thus eliminating curbs and gutters and allowing the use of bioswales. She felt that adding a bicycle lane <br />would curtail the ability to build the road in this way. She added that small electric cars and buses would <br />offer another sustainable transportation solution. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy closed the Public Forum and called on the council for questions and remarks. She thanked <br />everyone on the CDCT for their efforts. She also supported the use of the former Naval/Marine Reserve <br />site. <br /> <br />Additionally, Mayor Piercy clarified that the West Eugene Collaborative did have neighborhood representa- <br />tion. She said there would be an outreach effort to involve more people from the neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy hoped that Mr. Ivanoff would work with the City to help implement the new bike and <br />pedestrian plan. <br /> <br />Councilor Clark thanked everyone who spoke, and in particular the people from the CDCT. He noted that <br />th <br />he had requested staff to look into the building at the corner of Chambers Street and 13 Avenue. He <br />wanted to know how to accomplish what John Brown had suggested at an earlier council meeting i.e. to <br />make the building a home for a consortium of non-profit agencies. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor thanked everyone. She thanked Mr. Stathakis for coming and for his work with youth. <br />She hoped his request for an “Officer Friendly” could be granted. She also wanted to thank the CDCT. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman appreciated that the University neighborhood was getting involved in the infill and design <br />standards discussion. She asked if it would be necessary to request a work session on the former <br />Navy/Marine Reserve building. <br /> <br />Ms. Jones explained that staff was in the process of preparing a memorandum on the options. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 14, 2008 Page 7 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> <br />
