<br />'.1 ROAD (ROUTE 5) AND A NEW BRIDGE TO BE BUILT OVER THE WILLAMETTE RIVER AT JEffERSON I'
<br />h STREET WITH INTERSTATE fUNDS. THIS PROJECT WOULD END AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF I
<br />':1 CLARK STREET WITH WASHINGTON AND JEfFERSON STREETS. THE PROJECT IS SCHEDULED fOR I
<br />I, CONSTRUCTION IN 1965; HOWEVER, If THE TRAff'IC CONGESTION DEVELOPS OVER THE FERRY I
<br />;1 STREET BRIDGE WHICH IS ENVISIONED BY OUR CITY PLANNERS THE PROJECT MIGHT BE MOVED I
<br />il UP ONE OR TWO YEARS TO 1963. MR. WILLIAMS POINTED OUT THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR
<br />fl' THIS PROJECT TO CONNECT WITH ANY OTHER FEDERAL SYSTEM WITHIN THE CITY; THAT IT IS

<br />~l CATED HE WOULD HAVE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS STUDY AN EXCHANGE PLAN, THE IDEA BEING fOR
<br />~ THE CITY TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY fOR THE BLAIR-VANBuREN ROUTE TO RIVER ROAD NOW
<br />~~ PART OF THE STATE SYSTEM. IN TURN A NEW ROUTE INCLUDING 1ST AVENUE AND WASHINGTON II
<br />I i'l AND JEffERSON STREET COUPLET WOULD BECOME PART Of THE STATE SYSTEM. MAK I NG TH I S I
