<br />- <br /> <br />Answering a Question from Mr. Holmer, Mr. Teitzel said the cost of the <br />computerized signalization system will not be changed by the opening of <br />Willamette Street. <br /> <br />Replying to Questions from Ms. Wooten and Mr. Miller, Mr. Teitze1 said the <br />design proposed by LTD for the relocation of the transit stations has not been <br />presented to the task team yet. City and LTD staffs have been working on it. <br />It must be reviewed by several organizations. Ms. Calvert said the LTD Board <br />wants a firm commitment about the relocation from the City when the street <br />opening is approved. Mr. Gleason said the council must approve the project <br />now if it is to be constructed this year because the design work must be <br />started immediately. If the street opening is linked to the local "match" for <br />Federal funds, the process might become tangled. He recommended the <br />construction not be linked to the Federal grant. The council could direct the <br />staff to proceed with the bid process and with negotiations with LTD. In that <br />case, the application for Federal funds could proceed in its own time <br />schedule. <br /> <br />Replying to questions from Ms. Schue, Mr. Teitzel said Federal funds for <br />capital construction of transit facilities are allocated annually and are <br />available. Mark Pangborn, director of administrative services for LTD, <br />discussed other LTD uses of federal funds. He said the relocation of the <br />transit stations would be a good use of the funds. The relocation will have <br />an impact on traffic and parking at 10th Avenue and Olive Street. The LTD <br />Board wanted a commitment from the City to resolve the relocation problems. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Bascom did not think the City should pay for the relocation. She did not <br />think many problems will result for LTD from the project. <br /> <br />Replying to Questions from Ms. Ehrmam, Mr. Schwartz said the Downtown <br />Commission indicated that the bulges at lOth Avenue signify the change to a <br />pedestrian mall and the straight curb at 11th Avenue is a good design there. <br />Ms. Anderson said the Planning Commission indicated the bulges at 10th Avenue <br />are important for pedestrians. <br /> <br />Ms. Wooten closed the public hearing and reviewed the issues before the <br />council. <br /> <br />Beginning the council discussion, Mr. Rutan said much time had been spent on <br />the proposal, but there still seemed to be loose ends. He would have liked to <br />receive proposed time schedules from the public works department and LTD. He <br />would have liked more definite cost estimates. He would have liked a <br />definitive design for the relocation of the transit stations. He did not like <br />receiving different recommendations from the Downtown Commission and the <br />Planning Commission. He thought LTD had some legitimate requests that should <br />be worked out. However, he supported the project and favored proceeding with <br />it. He thought the council should review the progress of the project. <br /> <br />Mr. Holmer agreed with Mr. Rutan. Mr. Holmer said the council had not been <br />told previously about the need for Federal funds or continuing LTD <br />collaboration. He suggested action be postponed. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council <br /> <br />April 8, 1985 <br /> <br />Page 5 <br />
