<br />O. 'Tree Planting, South Willamette - Councilwoman Campbell suggested that the
<br />'parks Department be encouraged to undertake any tree planting program which
<br />would improve the appearance of Willamette Street between 23rd and 29th. This
<br />iwas in resonse to memo from the Parks Department indicating a tree planting
<br />.prdgram at this time is not on a priority list; if a list were to be made this
<br />:would be one of the last in relation to other areas. Street trees in other
<br />iareas have been planted at the expense of individual property owners. The
<br />;Parks Department is involved only with maintenance. Manager said development
<br />;of a street tree program would take staff time away from other work such as

<br />range solution since the Hospital announced it could no longer accommodate these .
<br />people brought in by police however, as evidenced by this report, progress is being

<br />T. : Traffic Vol umes, Washington and Jefferson - Councilman Murray requested informa.
<br />. tiol1 with regard to traffic volumes through Skinners Butte Park and on 8th,
<br />; Broadway , and lIth, and traffic speeds on Washington and Jefferson, since open-
<br />iing of the I-l05 extension to 6th and 7th. He said it is estimated one-third
<br />. of the traffic using the extension would have used the 1st Avenue ramps were
<br />,they still connected. Public Works Director said the information would have to
<br />II be compiled since the streets mentioned would not normally be included in
<br />,/ .' traffic flow counts. Increases on Washington and Jefferson were anticipated
<br />: and estimated. Those figures are available. He added that increased traffic
<br />was one of the problems in gaining approval of the project by the Federal High- I Comm
<br />way people and was taken care of by inclusion of the Highway 126 connector 8/15/73
<br />in the design. Manager said review of the Traffic Division workload would be Affirm
