. D. field Trans ortation 1m rovement Pro ram Manager noted the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) covers a three-year period and attempts to define the work program for the jurisdictions in this area. He asked for action in order that the Eugene representative could speak at the July 18 meeting of the MATC when they consider the program. Mr. Farah outlined the development of the TIP. The Transportation Planning Committee drafted the TIP for the Metropolitan Area Transportation Committee (MATC). It has been before Lane County and Springfield and they have adopted it. He explained the table on Page 10 of the Transportation Improvement Program, explaining each project considered. He called to the atten- ti on of the Council the item on Page 17 1 i sted under "Goodpasture Island Road, Delta Highway to Valley River." He said it was listed as a Eugene project. It should be deleted. He asked for the adoption by the Council of Eugene's portion and for any comment on the portion of the other jurisdictions. Public hearing was opened. Clark W. Cox, Jr., 1085 Patterson Street, suggested there was too little capital funding of the Lane Transit District. He objected to No. 71, illumination of 1-105. He said the freeway is already illuminated, and some of the lights were eliminated a few years ago as part of the Governor's energy conservation program. The interchange - receives light from Coburg Road commercial structures. He did not feel this project was needed, especially since energy needs to be conserved or used in more worthy projects. Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony. Manager noted the illumination was a State project and the City was not prepared to answer the objections but would obtain information on same. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that Council recommend to the Metropolitan Area Transportation Committee adoption of the Eugene element of the Transportation Improvement Program with the deletion of the Goodpasture Island Road, Delta Highway to Valley River. Motion carried unanimously. E. Public Works Bid Awards (tabulation distributed) Manager introduced the three public works bid awards and indicated that there seemed to be no controversy involved in these awards. Mr. Gilman said Public Works recommends awarding to the low bidder in each case. The first two projects were subdivision projects, the third was a diverter on Roland Way. Public hearing was held with no testimony presented. - Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to award to the low bidders on all three items. Motion carried unanimously. 7/9/79--9 361
