, . . . . Mr. Obie asked for an explanation of the six alternatives for the parking structure. Mr. Ed Smith, Project Director, explained: 1) was decorative grill framework around the bottom so the facility could be locked and not need a security guard; 2) a coating surface for the top one-and-one-half levels; 3) a traffic numbering surface for all other levels; 4) the elevator service agreement; 5) the electronic controls for the exit and entrance enabling them to become total entrances or exits at the time of the opening and closing of performances; 6) electrical wiring for the grills as explained in No.1, above. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract for the construction of the Center for the Performing Arts parking structure to be financed partially by Performing Arts Center funds and by the revenue- supported general obligation bonds, and to direct staff to make adjustments in parking rates and prepare for Council action an ordinance providing for adequate parking enforcement to ensure the continued revenues for the redemption of the debt service. Motion carried unanimously, with Mr. Obie abstaining. V. CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPLEMENT INTERIM DEVELOPMENT OF 6TH AND 7TH AVENUE CORRIDOR AS STATE PROJECT Manager indicated this project was part of the T-2000 Plan. The City was planning to develop it after 1990. Staff is now working with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) as an interim development project. e They have sent a delegation to Eugene to confer and exchange ideas. Manager introduced Mr. Farah and said the motion to be considered would be to adopt the memorandum of July 27, 1979, which spells out seven recommendations. Mr. Farah referred to the memorandum. He said the east-west corridor was to serve ~he West Eugene Industrial Area and the southwest residen- tial needs of the city. It was intended as a substitute for West 11th, Highway 126, and the Amazon Parkway. It would be limited access surface roadway west of Garfield. Earlier this year, the City asked ODOT to check on the possibilities of the east-west phased development; ODOT responded quickly and thoroughly. Conceptually, ODOT and staff have developed four elements. Element 1 involves widening of 6th and 7th avenues between Washington and Garfield streets within their existing rights-of-way. This would respond to cur- rent capacity needs along this portion of 6th and 7th avenues. Element 2 involves connection of 6th and 7th avenues (probably with a structure) to 7th Place. Element 3 involves widening 7th Place (this will require acquisition of some additional right-of-way and purchase of access rights between Garfield Street and Seneca). Element 4 involves construction of a new surface facility beginning at Seneca Road and intersecting West 11th Avenue in the vicinity of Beltline. - 8/1/79--7 42~
