The preparation of plans and specifications and call of bids for construction of the local improvements are based on council action on April 11, 2005, pursuant to Section 7.160(5) of the Eugene Code, 1971.

The extension of Chad Drive and the improvement of Old Coburg Road were identified in the Willakenzie Area Plan (adopted in 1992) and TransPlan. The Chad Drive Extension Project will extend Chad Drive east to connect to Old Coburg Road and upgrade Old Coburg Road to a major collector consistent with the Eugene Arterial and Collector Street Plan, TransPlan and the Willakenzie Area Plan.
