t ~ ( e e e central area parking, circulation and air quality study which would include the Sacred Heart area. Staff has been in contact with Sacred Heart and will be integrating and analyzing their Master Plan as part of this study. Work will begin on this study in the next month. Staff will report to you periodically on the progress. 5. Respond to Sacred Heart suggestion to add new policies AM8 and Pkl0, as detailed in their December 4 letter. Staff met with staff from Sacred Heart during the Planning Commission review of TransPlan and jOintly developed proposed language for consideration by the Planning Commission.

Roosevelt, from Terry to Greenhill: This would extend Roosevelt Boulevard as a two to four lane roadway to provide an important east-west arterial as this area of west Eugene develops. Cost;s estimated at $1,000,000; suggested phasing is medium; justification is A, ED (improves access, economic development). 18th and Willamette -- major intersection improvements: The draft TransPlan presently lists the conversion of Willamette Street to two-way operation from 11th to 20th avenues.
