<br />< <br />~ <br />e LANE COUNTY PROJECTS <br /> 1 Beltline Bridge 1987 <br /> 2 Delta/Beltline Interchange 1989 <br /> 3 Chambers Connector 1987 <br /> JOINT AGENCY PROJECT <br /> 1 Harlow Road Overcrossing Widening 1986 (if <br /> constructed <br /> with 1-5 <br /> improvements) <br /> 1988 otherwise <br /> There are two changes to Eugene's project list compared to the list in our <br /> July 17 letter. (1) The Franklin Blvd/Riverfront Access improvements are no <br /> longer included. Tax increment financing is now in place as a means of paying <br /> for those improvements; discussions are also under way with Lane County on the <br /> potential for County economic development funds to be used for the "front-end" <br /> costs, which would be paid back with tax increment revenue. (2) The Beltline <br /> Extension has been dropped in favor of the Chambers Connector.as a GMP-funded <br /> local project. We feel that project would best meet the State's criteria for <br /> this new funding' source, including substantial cost-sharing by local govern- <br />e ment, since the County will have paid for about 70 percent of the entire <br /> project cost already with their own funds. If $3 million in State funds are <br /> obtained for the final phase of Chambers Connector, that same amount of County <br /> road funds will be available for use on other local projects. For example, we <br /> would seek County assistance on the Beltline Extension project. <br /> Reauested Action <br /> We recommend the Council pass a motion supporting the concept of a unified <br /> metro-area highway program, and adopting the list of projects as shown. <br />e <br />
