THE PROJECT CONSTITUTES THE SECOND PHASE OF THE NUMBER 2 ,PROJECT RECOM- MENDED,BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR 1959-60. ITS PURPOSE IS TO DRAW TRAFFIC FROM SOUTH WILLAMETTE, SOUTH HILVARD AND EAST 30TH THROUGH A CONTROLLED ACCESS ROUTE. Bv SO DOING, GREATER SAFETY ACCRUES TO THE MOTORING PUBLIC, AND LESS DAMAGE IS INFLICTED ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES LOCATED ON LOCAL STREETS NOW SERVING AS PRIMARY TRAFFIC CARRIERS. THE RELATIONSHIP AND FREE FLOW OF PEDES- TRIAN TRAFFIC FROM THE AREA EAST OF HILYARD STREET TO THE AMAZON PARK IS HAMPERED BY THE INCREASING USE OF HILYARD AS A PRIMARY TRAFFic WAVe THIS CON- DITION HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE SINCE THE OPENING OF THE AMAZON PARK SWIMMING POOL. DIVERSION OF FAST THROUGH TRAFFIC VIA AN AMAZON EXPRESSWAY WILL MINIMIZE THIS SERIOUS CONFLICT OF PEDESTRIAL AND AUTOM081LE TRAFFIC. I , THE AMAZON EXPRESSWAY WILL REQUIRE AMAZON PARK PROPERTY WEST OF THE AMAZON DRAINAGE WAY. THE ESTIMATED COST OF $87,000 INCLUDES THE PURCHASE OF THIS PARK LAND AT $3000 PER ACRE, THUS PROVIDING FUNDS FOR REINVESTMENT IN PARK PROPERTY IN OTHER AREAS REQUIRING RECREATIONAL FACILITIES.
