AIRE SUBDIVISION THE QUESTION OF OPENING 19TH TO,CHAMBERS STREET,WAS CONSIDERED. LAND SUBJECT TO DEVELOPMENT ON THE WEST SIDE O~ TOWN AND DEPENDENT ON 18TH AS A MEANS OF ACCESS TO THE CENTRAL CITY WAS ANALYZED, AND IT WAS CALCULATED THAT 18TH AS A 4-LANE STREET COULD ADEQUATELY HANDLE THE, FUTURE TRAFFIC, LOAD. TOWARD THAT END AN: 80 FT R/W WAS DEDI- CATED,:ANDTHROUGH THE PARK-AIRE SUBDIVISION ACCESS TO 18TH WAS LIMITED TO CURB CUTS FOR THE COMMERCIAL AREAS, POLK STREET, TVLER STREET AND CHAMBERS STREET. THIS TYPE OF HIGHWAY, IF AND WHEN CONSTRUCTED AS A 4-LANE ROUTE, COULD HANDLE MORE. THAN, ANY ANTI C,I PATED LOAD, FOR THE AREA. CURRENT TRAFFIC ON 18TH EAST OF POLK IS APPROXIMATELY 6250 CARS PER DAV. ACCORDING TO THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING HANDBOOK PUBLISHED BY THE INSTITUTE , OF TRAFFIC ENG I N_E_E,R~,A ..4-L,ANE, _R.~RAL.

PR lOR', TO THE. ADOPT I ON OF, THE PARK-A IRE, SUBD I V I S ION" THE C I TY.MANAGER, CALLED A JOINT MEETING OF THE COUNCIL",PLANN1NG,COMMISSION AND THE EUGENE SCHOOL BoARD. THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS AND THE BENEFITS.OF THE,PRO- POSED PLAN WERE DISCUSSED, AND,THE P-LAN"AS, ADOPTED WAS. APPROVED,BY.Al.a. THREE AGENCIES. THIS PLAN ESTABLISHED THE AREA TO BE ACQUIRED AND IM- PROVED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE DEDICATION OF 47 ACRES FOR PARK DEVELOPMENT, THE ROADS TO BE IMPROVED, ,PARKING FAC1LIT,IES to BE DEVELOPED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE BUREAU OF' PARK AND RECREATION, THE LAND TO BE ZONED AND SOLD FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND THE PROPERTIES TO BE SUBDIVIDED INTO RESIDENTIAL BUILDING SITES. THESE PLANS WERE LATER TRANSLATED INTO SUBDIVISION COVENANTS, APPROVED BY THE, PLANNING COMMIS-, SION AND THE COUNC1L~ AND SUBSEQUENTLY RECORDED IN THE COURT HOUSE. I e IT WAS POINTED. OUT THAT IF ,19TH AVE WERE NOW TO: BE EXTENDED, THE LAND- LYING ,BETWEEN, 18TH AND. 19TH WOULD BECOME USELESS FOR-PARK DEVELOPMENT., - IT VAS ,.URTHER.POINTED,OUT,THAT THE TRAFFIC LOAD WOULD NATURALLY IN- - CREASE ON IS.THJAS IT APPROACHES WILLAMETTE.STREET" AND: THAT. IF THE 42 FT PAVEMENT EASTERLY FROM,JEFFERSON STREET PROVED. TO BE INADEQUATE" IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE, TO MAKE 18TH. AND 19TH ONE-WAY. COUPLETS THROUGH THE MORE CONGESTED AREA. THE GENERAL ATTITUDE OF THE COMMISSION, HOW- EVER, WAS THAT EVEN THIS WOULD NOT BE DESIRABLE DUE: TO THE STEEPNESS O~ 19TH AT COLLEGE HILL, THE BLIND INTERSECTIONS AND. STEEP APPROACHES. TO 19TH ON COLLEGE HILL, ACTIVITY AT WASHINGTON STREET PARK, AND THE LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT IN FRONT O~ SOUTH EUGENE HIGH SCHOOL. FOR THESE REASONS IT WOULD BE BETTER TO FOLLOW THE ORIGINAL PLAN OF MAKING 18TH A 4-LANE ROUTE THROUGHOUT ITS ENTIRE LENGTH WHENEVER THE TRAFFIC LOAD DEMANDS SUCH ACTI,ON. As A SUPPLE- MENTARY BENEFIT, OF NO SMALL IMPORTANCE, IS THE RETENTION OF 19TH AVE AS A REASONABLY QUIET STREET THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD." I IT WAS MOVED BY MRS. LAURIS SECONDED BY MR.
