In addition, the West Eugene Collaborative had recommended improvements to 5 and 7` avenues <br />that would enhance travel on those routes. Mr. Inerfeld acknowledged that the City may not achieve <br />ODOT mobility standards in that area and might need to discussion alternative mobility standards with <br />ODOT. <br />Mr. Farr suggested if EmX had been directed down Highway 99 the needed bicycle and pedestrian <br />facilities might have followed. <br />Ms. Ortiz emphasized her concerns about the safety of residents using the Highway 99 overpass. <br />Mayor Piercy encouraged staff to share information about how people could get engaged in the process <br />with the Area Commission on Transportation and the Metropolitan Policy Committee and its Citizen <br />Advisory Committee. <br />Mayor Piercy said that ODOT did not foresee any significant funding would be forthcoming from the <br />State for projects; there would be funding for projects that improved system functionality. She suggested <br />the lack of State funding heightened the importance of maximizing City resources. <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 6:58 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />'6 tt� 1 <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council July 11, 2011 Page 6 <br />Work Session <br />
