He emphasized that this was the first step prior to negotiations. Mr. Gilman introduced a slide showing of the route Roosevelt Boulevard westerly from Maple to Beltline. He requested that council pass the ordinance which would authorize the commencement of acquiring the right-of-way. He showed the right-of-way already acquired including land in State ownership that would be made available when the City was ready to purchase it.

Funds are budgeted in the 1981-82 budget to accomplish this right-of-way acquisition. He asked council to pass the ordinance in order to begin the process. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council September 14, 1981 Page 12
