Appeal of an Administrative Decision Allowing Lane Transit District to Relocate a Bus Stop to a Mid-block Site on the East Side of Oak Street South of 19th Avenue (memo, map distributed) e Mr. Gleason introduced Jim Hanks, Public Works Traffic Engineer. Mr. Hanks stated that an appeal has been filed by William Skillern to appeal the bus stop to be placed in front of his residence. This relocation was requested by LTD and this is the preferential site for a bus stop for the Civic Stadium, South Eugene High, and the School District 4-J bus barn. He noted that George Montoya, from LTD, is also present to answer questions. Public hearing was opened. William Skillern, 1955 Oak, stated that in October of 1980, he was notified that a bus stop would be placed in front of his house. He lives mid-block between 19th and 20th streets on Oak. He gave them feedback stating that he did not want this to happen and they proceeded to place the stop there anyway. He again called LTD and noted there have been communication problems with LTD. He told LTD that he is opposed to having the stop there because of the safety factor. At 20th Street, Oak and Willamette spill off. They had two cherry trees in front of their house which have been destroyed by vehicles running into them. Because of this incidence, he feels that a bus stop should not be there. The 25 mph speed limit sign was taken down. Other cars which have been parked next to the curb have been sideswiped which is another safety factor. Passengers stand in front of his house waiting for the bus. e MlNUTES--Eugene City Council January 26, 1981 Page 14
