Cal Young/Willagillespie Road Improvement--Recommend by Public Works Don Allen, Director of Public Works, explained this improvement project had been initiated by the Eugene City Council in October 1975. He noted the paving of Cal Young from Gilham to Willa- gillespie, and from Willagillespie Road to Cal Young to Delta Highway would provide a 36- to 46-foot roadway with curbs, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, travel lanes, and in some locations, a two-way center turn lane. Both Cal Young and Willagillespie are important arterial streets in the Willakenzie area. He said a staff hearing was held March 3, 1977 with property owners to describe the proposal and answer questions. The major concerns of. those in attendance were as follows: 1) Property assessment-- the City's policy and assessment formula were explained and it was mentioned that a committee of staff and Council is studying a possible revision to the formula; 2) Need for extra right-of- way--staff explained the appraisal and acquisition process, and stated that where ever possible the roadway alignment will take into account existing trees and locations of houses; 3) Roadway designs and capacities--staff felt that even accounting for devel- opment now underway and projected for the future, the proposed width would be adequate. Volumes were expected to be lower west of Spy Glass and on Willagil1espie, therefore narrower roadway without the center turn lane was proposed whereby many of the existing trees could be saved and remain in a parking strip between curb and sidewalk.
