RESOLUTION NO. 4673
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, LANE
COUNTY, OREGON, CALLING A SPECIAL ELECTION TO
SUBMIT A MEASURE TO THE VOTERS OF THE CITY ON
REOPENING BROADWAY, BETWEEN THE EAST MARGIN
OF CHARNEL TON STREET TO THE WEST MARGIN OF
OAK STREET, TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds as follows:
1. The City has authority under the Eugene Charter of 1976, the Oregon Constitution,
and the Eugene Code, 1971, to submit measures to the electorate of the City.
2. Except for its intersections with Willamette Street and Olive Street, Broadway,
between the East margin of Chamelton Street and the West margin of Oak Street, is closed to
vehicular traffic. Section 2 of Amendment III of the Eugene Charter of 1976 requires that this
portion of Broadway remain closed to vehicular traffic unless the electors of the City, at a primary
election, a general election, or at a special election held between Labor Day of one year and
Memorial Day of the following year, vote to approve reopening the street.
3. Broadway between the East margin of Chamelton Street and the West margin of Oak
Street, should be reopened, but only if the electors of the City approve the re-opening.
4. The City Council therefore desires to place a measure before the voters, that asks
whether Broadway between the East margin of Charnelton Street and the West margin of Oak Street
should be reopened to vehicular traffic.
NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the above findings,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a
Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows:
Section 1. A special election is called for the purpose of submitting to the qualified voters
of the City the question of whether to reopen Broadway between the East margin of Chamelton
Street and the West margin of Oak Street to vehicular traffic, subject to available funding.
Section 2. The City Council orders this special election to be held in the City of Eugene,
Oregon on the 18th day of September, 2001, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 254 of
Oregon Revised Statutes, and the ballots shall be counted and tabulated and the results certified as
provided by law.

Section 3. The City Recorder is directed to give not less than ten (10) days notice of the
special election by publication of one (1) notice thereof in the Register Guard, a newspaper published
in the City and of general circulation therein.
Section 4. Following an affirmative vote, the City Council shall review and approve the
level of funding available, and also shall review and approve a final design for the project.
