ATTACHMENT E <br />M I N U T E S <br /> <br /> <br />City Council <br />McNutt Room—Eugene City Hall <br />777 Pearl Street—Eugene, Oregon <br /> <br /> April 14, 2010 <br /> Noon <br /> <br />PRESENT: Alan Zelenka, Mike Clark, Betty Taylor, Andrea Ortiz, Jennifer Solomon, George Poling, Chris <br />Pryor, George Brown, members. <br /> <br />Her Honor Mayor Kitty Piercy called the April 14, 2010, work session of the Eugene City Council to order. She <br />announced she had attended the sneak peak of Wicked that occurred earlier that morning and noted that season ticket <br />sales were in progress. She also reminded citizens to turn in their census forms and emphasized the difference the <br />accurate count made in funding City services. <br /> <br />A. WORK SESSION: Beltline Highway - River Road to Coburg Road - Oregon Department of <br />Transportation Facility Plan Update <br /> <br />The council was joined by Project Manager Chris Henry of the Eugene Public Works Department and Savannah <br />Crawford, Area 5 Planner for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Project Manager for the <br />Beltline Facility Plan. Ms. Crawford provided a PowerPoint presentation entitled Beltline Facility Plan: River <br />Road to Coburg Road. The presentation provided information on the Beltline project planning process and <br />illustrated the design options currently under consideration. Councilors asked questions clarifying the details of the <br />options. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy asked Ms. Crawford what major issues were coming up in discussion. Ms. Crawford said that ODOT <br />was receiving a range of comments, ranging from concern about the footprint of the bridge to concerns about the <br />need for improvements. The public seemed to favor the middle- to high-build options with auxiliary lanes. People <br />also seemed to realize that there were tradeoffs that would occur through the process. Mr. Henry indicated that <br />people were concerned about access from River and Division avenues for business purposes, the signal operation at <br />River Avenue and River Road, and the interchange operation at Delta Highway and Beltline. Ms. Crawford said <br />many people wanted ODOT to close Division and River avenues but ODOT had found that if Division Avenue was <br />closed, all the traffic now using that road went to River Road, and Division Avenue was a heavily traveled route. <br /> <br />Asked for comment by Mayor Piercy, Ms. Ortiz, a member of the ODOT Beltline Plan Steering Committee, <br />commended the comprehensiveness of the presentation. She observed she had been surprised by how many people <br />used Beltline. Mr. Clark, also a member, was impressed by the thoroughness of the options presented. He said, at <br />this point, a majority of committee members believed that the split-diamond and collector-distributor had the best <br />chances of solving the problems that existed on Beltline. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy solicited general questions and comments from the council. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Ms. Ortiz, Ms. Crawford indicated that ODOT heard considerable opposition to a <br />bridge south of the Beltline near the Valley River Center area, while others indicated they wanted ODOT to revisit <br />the question. However, that was outside the study area. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—City Council April 14, 2010 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
