D.9 Local and state governments shall continue to provide adequate public access to the Willamette River Greenway. The applicant proposes that the public access connecting to the Willamette River Greenway will continue to be provided through ODOT's right-of-way under the 1-5 bridges, therefore public access to the Willamette River Greenway will not be permanently affected. As noted under Goal 8 Recreational Need above, which is incorporated herein by reference, a continuous route across ODOT right-of-way for the bicycle/pedestrian pathways will be maintained on both the north and the south sides of the river during construction (written statement, page 61, Willakenzie Area Plan, Neighborhood Design Element- Willamette Greenway, Use Management Standard 2). Therefore, in the context of a plan amendment, this policy is met. Additionally, these specific construction and operational details will be appropriately addressed during local permitting processes, subject to applicable approval criteria and related standards. D.11 The taking of an exception shall be required if a non-water-dependent transportation facility requires placing of fill within the Willamette River Greenway setback. An exception to Statewide Planning Goal 15 Willamette River Greenway was approved for Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) 1-5 right of way crossing the Willamette River and within the Willamette River Greenway Setback Line, for purpose of constructing a temporary detour bridge, implementing the conditions imposed on the Discretionary Use Approval (Springfield Journal SHR 2003-00115) and removing the temporary detour bridge after completion of the permanent replacement bridge.
