Pedestrian right-of-way vacation located south from Bardell Avenue and Stonegate Street (Lloyd Lindley) (PD 81-1) (map, background information distributed) e Mr. Whitlow introduced Jerry Jacobson, Planning. Mr. Jacobson said that the request was for vacation of a 15-foot-wide, unimproved pedestrian way leading from Chevy Chase subdivision along Bardell Avenue south to Alton Baker Park. He noted that this matter was before the council in August 1980 and that the council had at that time referred the matter back to the Planning Commission, since additional information was presented at the council hearing which the Planning Commission had not considered. Mr. Jacobson said that following that council meeting staff members from the Planning and Parks departments and the Bicycle Committee had met to examine the bike-pedestrian access in the area of the request and had recommended to the Planning Commission that the vacation be denied and that the City retain the option to provide access to the park. Mr. Jacobson said that as Alton Baker Park develops in the area of the request, the Parks Department envisions constructing a bridge from the pedestrian way across the canoe way to the park. He noted that at the Planning Commission meetings of February 8 and March 8, 1982, the commission had recommended unanimously that the request be denied. Mr. Jacobson said that if the council followed the recommendation of the Planning Commission, councilors would be voting against Council Bill 2481. He noted that the council bill should be corrected to read 15- not 17-foot-wide pedestrian way. Mr. Jacobson noted that John Etter from the Department of Parks and Recreation and Eleanor Mulder of the Planning Commission were present to respond to questions from councilors. - MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 26, 1982 Page 5
