<br />2. Gilham Road Project <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Public testimony has been received from the residents as well as a petition <br />signed by 94 people to support the Gilham Road Project in the first fiscal <br />year. <br /> <br />3. 13th and Monroe Traffic Signal <br /> <br />Public testimony has been received from the neighborhood in support of this <br />project, urging its completion as soon as possible. <br /> <br />4. Bethel Drive Project <br /> <br />The Bethel Triangle Neighborhood recommends moving up the Bethel Drive <br />project, which is in the seven-year category now. This is a $2 million <br />project which the residents would like to be completed. Part of the problem <br />for the City is that Southern Pacific cannot be assessed: they own half of <br />the property next to the road, and they are not in the city boundaries. <br /> <br />5. Dillard Road <br />6. Bike Paths <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Some questions and comments were received as to why they are not included in <br />the CIP. The Bikeway allocation is down from what it was. <br /> <br />7. Park Bonds Project <br /> <br />This is in the seven-year period and includes $14 million to implement the <br />first phase of the Parks Master Plan. It also includes a $3 million parkland <br />open space acquisition bond. <br /> <br />8. Street Light Funding <br /> <br />It has been noted through testimony that the funding for street lights is down <br />from previous fiscal years. The staff does not list this under urgent and <br />non-postponable. <br /> <br />Mayor Obie asked for discussion. Ms. Wooten asked for justification of the <br />Hult projects under the urgent and non-postponable category. Mr. Whitlow <br />replied that the entrance tiles are slippery and have generated two lawsuits <br />and must be replaced with carpets. This is a very high-priority project. The <br />lighting in the Soreng Theater is also related to safety: it is too dark and <br />unsafe. The ticket office renovation is part of the original plan and is a <br />completion item. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Bascom pointed out that the largest item is heating for the Silva stage. <br />There is no heat, and this is a serious problem for every entertainer for over <br />six months of the year. The other large items are storage area for scenery <br />and the marquee. She felt these items were very important and that some <br />private money would be available. Mr. Whitlow expressed hope that the Eugene <br />Arts Foundation would assist with these projects. There was some discussion <br />regarding signing and a reference made to the subcommittee's decision about <br /> <br />EXCERPT MINUTES--City Council Work Session <br /> <br />March 17, 1986 <br /> <br />Page 7 <br />
