She recommended that the ordinance be amended to include the corrections. In response to a question from Councilor Farr regarding whether the TransPlan included language that assumed the construction of the West Eugene Parkway, Ms. Childs said that only the funded portion was included. Dave Reinhard of the Public Works Department added that planning in west Eugene was based on the assumption that the parkway would exist. In response to a question from Councilor Farr regarding whether there would be sections of the TransPlan that would be voided if the voters decided against the West Eugene Parkway, Mr. Reinhard opined that there would be no voided sections but acknowledged that "adjustments" would have to be made. Councilor Farr expressed a desire to see the adjustments made in the near future. Councilor Rayor noted that the West Eugene Parkway ballot measure was an advisory vote and it was still up to the council and its intergovernmental partners to implement it if it was passed by the voters. City Manager Johnson asked the council to consider Council Bill 4770, an ordinance amending the Eugene- Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan to adopt a revised "Transportation Element" and related changes to the plan text; adopting revisions to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan, (TransPlan); repealing Resolution nos. 2375,2650, 4171, 4318 and 4410; adopting a severability clause; and providing an effective date. Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Kelly, moved that the bill, with unanimous consent of the council, be read a second time by council bill number only and that enactment be considered at that time. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Meisner, moved to amend the motion by adding the replacement text provided by staff. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously.
