COUNCILORS PRESENT: Gretchen Miller, Brian Obie, Betty Smith, Mark Lindberg,
D. W. Hamel, Cynthia Wooten, and Emily Schue.
COUNCILORS ABSENT: Eric Haws.
Regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Eugene, Oregon, was called
to order by His Honor, Mayor Gus Keller.
1. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Public Works Bid Awards (memo distributed, tabulations attached)
Micheal Gleason, City Manager, introduced Bert leitzel, Public Works.
Mr. Teitzel stated that there are 15 projects. The first project is the recon-
sideration of paving and sidewalks on Crescent Avenue from Gilham Road to Coburg
Road. This is a rehearing since it was discovered after the council meeting on
. July 13, 1981, when the contract was awarded, that the affected property owners
were not notified of the hearing. Staff recommends that council reopen the
hearing and reconsider the project. This project was authorized by the council
on May 26, 1981. Considerable testimony was received concerning elimination of
parking, possible increase in truck traffic, increase in car traffic and speed,
cost to property owners, and "double-frontage" assessments. At the council
hearing and at a meeting with adjacent property owners on June 11, 1981, it was
agreed to allow additional street parking and to eliminate the left turn lane
except at the intersection at both ends of the project, to monitor the truck
traffic, and to develop through-truck restrictions if necessary. The final
design is the minimum necessary to accommodate the projected volumes of traffic.
The project as authorized provides for the safety of bicyclists, joggers, and
pedestrians, and accommodates the increasing traffic volumes. The counc i 1 has
reviewed the assessment policy regarding double-frontage lots and this project
will be assessed by the current policy. The costs to abutting properties will
be $23.40 per front foot for 20-foot-wide streets, $35.60 per front foot for
36-foot-wide streets, and $9.15 for five-foot sidewalks. A petition in opposi-
tion to this project has been submitted by owners of 53 percent of the front
footage, and that petition should be con~idered as a formal remonstrance against
the project. This means that the council must reconsider the necessity of the
improvement, and a two-thirds vote of the council is required to award the
contract.

Ms. Wooten asked if management of Eugene Swim and Tennis Club have offered any
comments on this project. Mr. Teitzel responded that there ~ill be no parking .
in front of the Eugene Swim and Tennis Club and they have signed the remonstrance.
Public hearing was opened; there being no testimony, public hearing was closed.
Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, that the project (Job No.
1835) be awarded to the low bidder. Role call vote; motion
carried 6:1 with Councilor Wooten voting no.
Mr. Teitzel stated that the next project to be considered is paving on Gas Lamp
Drive from Surrey Lane to approximately 350 feet east and south; and pedestrian
way, bike path, and storm sewer, 1,150 feet. north of Royal Avenue between Surrey
Lane and Williams Street (Job No. 1723). This is the result of a minor sub-
division. This project was initiated by petition of 82 percent of the owners.
Ms. Schue asked if the majority of the people who signed the petition are not
being assessed. Mr. Teitzel indicated that was correct. Ms. Miller asked if
tax lot 13600 is under one ownership. Mr. Teitzel said yes.
Public hearing was opened on Job No. 1723. Speaking against:
Kathryn Hoy, 1129 Surrey Lane, stated that she is opposed to this project
because it will cause more traffic to pass by their house. They are also
objecting to the assessment. The schools are full now in their area. She has
a letter from Jim Kitterman, a Williams Street resident, who also objects and
states that the roads cannot handle more traffic.
Judith Dubray, 1037 Surrey Lane, stated this project backs up to her lot. She. .
doesn't want to face someone else's backyard. There are not enough schools.
They have to use trailers to provide more classrooms. It is too expensive.
This area has a high crime rate.
Janet Kirtley, 1085 Surrey Lane, stated that people on Welcome, Surrey, and
Williams streets are against the project. More people are opposed than in
favor. There would be more traffic which would cause more problems for the
schools. A school will be built west of Royal Avenue in about ten years; in the
meantime, Danebo School has already added trailer classrooms. The assessment
notice stated that this project was initiated by petition. She never signed a
petition, even though she is a property owner. She talked with Jack Guthrie,
who told her there was nothing to worry about. Then Pat Langan called her and
told her Mr. Guthrie was wrong and she would be assessed for $1,300. She began
a petition drive against the project. There are four people in favor of this
job with 75 to 80 people against. This does not seem to be a project for the
people.
There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed.
Mr. Teitzel stated there is a petition from the individual who did the sub-
division that represents 82 percent of the frontage being assessed. The Hoys
and Kirtleys will have assessments for about 32 feet each. Ms. Smith asked how
many people will be involved in the assessments. Mr. Teitzel stated that the
.

.
~ssessments will involve mainly the subdivider. Ms. Smith asked how that
. petition by the subdivider balanced with the petition submitted against the
project. Mr. Teitzel responded that only two of the owners who signed the
petition against the project will be assessed. Ms. Miller asked if each of the
sections are large enough to divide into three lots. Mr. Teitzel stated that
most of them could be at least three lots. Mr. Lindberg asked how many people
are involved in the petition which has 82 percent. Mr. Teitzel responded that
only one who will be assessed is involved.
Ms. Wooten asked what the development would ultimately mean in regard to traffic
and schools. Mr. Teitzel stated that 20 to 30 homes could be built on that
street. They are projecting eight trips per day per household, which would
equal 160 to 240 trips per day. He could not make a comment from the school's
point of view. Staff does not feel the street improvements are being questioned
as much as the subdivision itself is. Ms. Wooten asked if the subdivision will
still occur if the improvements do not. Mr. Teitzel stated they could still get
a permit to build houses and the road would be gravel. Mr. Obie asked if this
area is designated low-density residential in the Metro Plan. Mr. Teitzel
responded that it is. Mr. Obie stated that council has the option of seeing
that houses are either built on farmlands or within the city limits. Th i s i s
part of a compact urban area. He does not think the council has any choice but
to approve this project. That is the City policy.
Ms. Schue stated that the council is interested in people's opinions but the
council must act in relationship to City goals and policies on urban growth.
Traffic should not be a major concern with only three lots involved. Denial of
. the right to develop when the developer will pay the costs is unsubstantiated.
It is the obligation of the City to allow development to occur. There is a City
program for those who are retired and cannot pay the assessments.
Ms. Wooten said that these issues are frustrating. The expenses of growth must
be shared by all, and as long as there is some growth people cannot expect it to
occur everywhere except in limy neighborhood." There is no real option.
Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to award the contract (Job
No. 1723) to the low bidder. Roll call vote; motion carried
unanimous ly.
Mr. Teitzel stated the next item under consideration is paving and storm sewer
on Dove Lane from North Ruskin Street to 460 feet east (Job No. 1963). This
was initiated by School District 52 for access to their bus yard and to control
dust.
Public hearing was opened:
Robert O'Donnell, 1915 Ruskin, stated that he was surprised this project is
being considered since all the taxpayers voted against it previously. Since
Bethel School District is a public institution, they feel that if this project
is so important perhaps it should be voted on by all of the people in the school
district. He will have no use for this street, since the'City put up a barricade
.

u
in front of his house. He could not drive his car onto the street if he wanted
to. However, he will have to pay part of the assessments and a share in the
school district taxes as well. .
There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed.
Mr. Teitzel stated that the street has been a dust problem and LRAPA has been
concerned. All other projects for council consideration are enumerated in the
memo to the council and staff would recommend awarding the projects to the low
bidders.
Ms. Wooten asked if the school district is excluded from assessments. Mr.
Teitzel said no. Mr. Teitzel said the school district would pay 56 percent.
Mr. Gleason asked what portion the City is paying. Mr. Teitzel said the City
will pay miscellaneous storm sewer costs. Ms. Wooten asked if it is correct to
say that, although buses are generating the'problem, the property owners will
have to pay to solve it. Mr. Teitzel said that is the situation. One cost of
those who have the privilege of a cdrner lot is the double-frontage assessment.
North Ruskin was blocked by a diverter. Dove Lane will also end in a cul-de-sac.
The project will provide access for future development for the two property
owners but not for the man who testified.
Mr. Lindberg asked if this is part of the Dusty Roads project. Mr. Teitzel said
it is on the list prepared by LRAPA. Mr. Hamel asked if the diverter will be
torn down if the street is paved. Mr. Teitzel responded it would not. Mr.
Hamel indicated that the neighborhood could do something about the diverter at
any time if they chose to. Mr. Gleason added that removal of a diverter is a
complicated process. The council could direct staff to change it. Ms. Miller
stated that it is City policy that eventually everyone in town will have a paved .
street in front of their house. Everyone pays for the sewer of front of one's
house. Everyone will have to pay for this one way or another. No one likes to
pay for improvements. Mr. Obie asked if a street intersection is being built
that will be blocked off. Mr. Teitzel stated that a temporary barrier exists
there now and will become a permanent diverter with this project. It is on a
side street.
Ms. Wooten asked about the possibility of subdividing the area in the future.
Mr. Teitzel clarified that except for the corner lot, the other lots could be
subdivided. He stated that that was the intent of the property owners as stated
several years ago. Ms. Wooten asked about the impact of waiting on this pro-
ject. Mr. Teitzel stated that there would still be a dust problem. Ms. Wooten
asked if the dust problem could be dealt with by applying oil or some other
mechanism. Mr. Teitzel said they could put an oil treatment on the street or a
temporary asphalt mat. Ms. Wooten asked if the dust occurs mostly in the
summer. Mr. Teitzel stated the majority of the dust occurs in the spring and
the fall. Mr. Hamel indicated that he does not feel it is right to have someone
pay for a street which they cannot use. Mr. Teitzel stated the owner can use
access on both sides but cannot travel between the two streets.
Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to award the project (Job
No. 1963) to the low bidder.

Mayor Keller asked if the council would like to look at the diverter situation
in that area again. Ms. Miller stated that the council had already looked at
. it. It is located next to Willamette High School. She did not wish to discuss
that diverter again.
Ms. Wooten asked whether Mr. O'Donnell believes that this particular street will
eventually be paved as are all streets in the city. Mr. O'Donnell said he does
not think that is the case unless it is City policy for all steets to be
paved.
Role call vote; motion carried unanimously.
Public hearing was opened on the balance of the projects. There being no
testimony, public hearing was closed.
Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to award the remaining
projects to the low bidders. Roll call vote; motion carried
unanimously.
B. Cheshire Street Entrance-Only Diverter--Staff Report (memo and addi-
tional information distributed
Mr. Gle~son introduced Jim Hanks, Public Works.
Mr. Hanks stated that the issue is whether or not to remove a temporary diverter
placed on Cheshire Street in Skinner Butte Park east of North Lincoln Street. A
number of alternatives were considered in deciding whether to recommend further
. testing: realigning Cheshire Street, installing a diverter east of High Street
on 3rd Avenue. providing an alternative route for through traffic that currently
uses Cheshire Street, as well as some other options such as the establishment of
toll booths. The results of the study were much as staff had projected them to
be. The west-bound traffic has decreased substantially. East-bound traffic has
also decreased, although less so. Traffic on 3rd Avenue between High and Pearl
streets has increased more than 40 percent. This total increase can be attrib-
uted to the diverted west-bound traffic. Traffic volumes on High Street have
also decreased slightly. The results of a survey show that 27 people are in
favor of retaining the diverter and making it permanent; 93 are opposed to
making the diverter permanent, and three people had no opinion. The majority of
the people in the West Butte area are in favor of retention. In the East Butte
area, 51 residents of Park View Terrace were against the diverter. He showed
the results of the survey on the map. Due to the frequent delays caused by
trains, 5th, 6th, and 7th avenues are unacceptable alternatives since they
require at least one crossing of the railroad tracks. Area businesses are
generally opposed to the diverter. Similar objections would be raised to any
diverter in the area. In addition, staff has contacted the Police Department,
Parks Design, and School District 4-J, all of whom were against making the
diverter permanent. The Eugene Fire Department was neutral.
Ms. Wooten asked how much of a reduction there was east of Lawrence Street.
Mr. Hanks stated that 3,700 trips per day were reduced to about 860. Ms. Wooten
stated that with the reduction of 3,000 trips per day then the balance of the
cars must be using alternatives. Mr. Hanks agreed but there are other possi-
.

bilities as well. Ms. Wooten asked if aside from minor inconveniences, the
effect of the diverter was to reduce the amount of traffic in the West Butte.
Mr. Hanks said yes. .
Ms. Schue asked what the total traffic problem is in the area. She also asked
if there was a traffic problem perceived by the Police Department. Mr.
Hanks stated that John Etter, Parks Design, stated that the diverter should be
removed and that it is an inconvenience for personnel as well as a new hazard
created by those driving around the diverter.
Mr. Lindberg asked what the risk manager1s concern was regarding driving through
the parking lot. Mr. Hanks stated that it is unsafe and the feeling was that
the parking lot was for parking and streets are for driving. People change
routes because of a time savings. There is no way to change this street to make
enough difference in the time it takes to travel down it. Mr. Lindberg asked if
it is part of the proposal to eliminate the parking lot.
Mr. Hanks stated that the primary purpose of the diverter was to slow the
traffic down. The staff recommendation is to remove the diverter and have
traffic flow the way it was prior to the installation of the diverter. Mr.
Lindberg asked if it is traffic volume or speed that is the problem. Mr. Hanks
replied that they are both problems. Mr. Lindberg asked if construction of a
new street was a serious consideration and, if so, where it would be. Mr. Hanks
stated that has been considered several times. However, it would cost several
hundred thousand dollars to build a street on the south side of the butte.
Also, the visual effect has not been assessed.
Mr. Gleason added that Cheshire Street was the compromise and it was constructed .
in 1959. There are no real alternatives. Mr. Lindberg stated that the council
is about ready to deal with the TIP and the widening of 6th and 7th avenues and
asked if this would induce people coming from the Ferry Street area to use that
route. Mr. Hanks stated that the railroad tracks will remain a deterrent. When
the Chambers Connector is built, it will help some.
Ms. Wooten stated that the majority of those opposed east of Pearl Street were
residents of Park View Terrace. She asked if the survey questions included
reasons why people were objecting to the diverter. Joe Hessler, Public Works,
stated that most people did not give a reason. They just said they were against
the project.
Public hearing was opened. In favor of retention of the diverter:
Drew Johnson, 409 Clark Street, stated that he lives on the main route of
traffic. The Whiteaker Refinement Plan indicated action should be taken to
reduce the traffic. Council adopted the Diverter Policy in 1975, which set
forth criteria for making diverter determination. The staff report now only
addresses the traffic criteria. A survey was taken and opposition by Park View
Terrace is only to this method of traffic control. Many residents feel 5th and
6th avenues will not be viable alternatives. In 1980 council noted there was a
problem. He would request that, the diverter remain until alternatives are
proposed and put into place.

Carol Brewster, 137 North Lawrence Street, said that the neighborhood group had
. asked for help with an unsafe situation for children and senior citizens,
with preserving the integrity of Skinner Butte Park, and with having the council
follow through on policy statements. Now, staff is recommending no diverter and
no further analysis. This has not been a popular project. There should be one
overall traffic plan to get from the Ferry Street Bridge to River Road. People
opposed to the diverter are not necessarily opposed to traffic cpntrol, just
this solution.
John Schumaker, 41 North Lawrence Street, talked about preserving the quality of
life in that inner-city neighborhood. There are green spaces to recreate and to
walk free with recreation opportunities. The park is healthy and the community
- should safeguard it. The Police Departm~nt says this is no longer a drive-through,
and now it has many uses. Safety has improved. It has restored East and West
Skinner Butte neighborhood. This is the first step in reconnecting those two
neighborhoods, and they are now more livable. This was a move to revitalize an
inner-city neighborhood.
Julie Schumaker, 41 North Lawrence Street, No.1, said that people-oriented
concerns are the most cost-effective because they are for the people. Repaving
or changing the road has never worked but the diverter has. As a taxpayer, she
abhors any further misuse of sites like Skinner Butte for such traffic uses.
She read a letter from a senior citizen, Violet Marstellar, who stated that
since the diverter has been placed in the west end of the park, there has
been obvious improvement with the park area more enjoyable and safer. Ms.
Marsteller feels it also has cut down on smog and fumes. The letter went on to
say that there are some advantages in unrestricted traffic through the park and
. adjoining streets, but they are outweighed by the many disadvantages they caused
the neighborhood.
Margaret Cormier, 90 North Lawrence Street, stated that the diverter has worked.
The neighborhood is on the edge there with lots of vacant houses and rentals and
the diverter has created less traffic with more room for people to walk around
and ride their bikes.
Wes Cleveland, 90 North Lawrence Street, stated that they want to keep the
diverter because kids like to play in the street a lot.
Mar arita Vielma, 90 North Lawrence Street, agreed with the previous speakers
and sald thlS has cut own on pol ution and traffic.
James Chaudoir, 91 North Lawrence Street, said that he would like the Traffic
Engineering Division to take a more highly motivated approach to solving this
problem.
Dennis Urso, 445 Clark Street, said he is more pro-traffic control than pro-
diverter, but until a better solution can be reached he would like to see the
diverter remain in place. He quoted Ms. Miller as having stated at the December
8 meeting that this could be a start to the solution. There were other sug-
gestions mentioned at the meeting that were not in the report, such as stop
.

signs, the new Federal Highway Administration speedbumps, walkways, and improving
the 3rd-4th connector. The problems with the diverter were no surprise, and .
they have been discussed before. The diverter is an inconvenience, but he
believes it is worth it. The barrier would be much less capital-intensive than
other solutions. He feels the traffic pattern has been changed and people do
not now drive through the park. Initial resistance to the barrier has been
overcome. A positive solution can be reached.
Speaking in favor of removal of the diverter:
Wen Evans, 1031 Leigh Street, stated that he has been a businessman in the
Whiteaker area for about 20 years. It is difficult to get from the Ferry Street
bridge area into the River Road or Whiteaker areas because of the traffic volume
and the trains. Now, he is using the 4th Avenue "trail" and it works well until
one has to get off onto Lincoln Street where it becomes dangerous. Unfortunately,
the City has chosen for the main road to connect these areas to go through the park.
He objects personally and professionally to this diverter. Whenever business
traffic goes down, it is a concern. He would like to know what the volume of
traffic is during different periods of the day and not just during rush hour.
He would like to see the diverter removed, as well as other diverters because he
thinks diverters are negative. He does not like to be told he is not welcome in
neighborhoods he supports with his personal and business taxes.
Leslie Smith, 2553 Terrace View, stated that he owns a business at 3rd Avenue
and Mill Street and lived in the Willakenzie area for about 28 years. This
used to be the only way to get to River Road, and he has traveled it for more
than 30 years. This is closing down access and moving problems from one neigh- .
borhood into another neighborhood. He can understand improving neighborhoods,
but he thought that was done with bridges, not barriers. How can neighborhoods
say they only want to have traffic in other neighborhoods, but not in theirs?
Accidents have increased at 3rd Avenue and Mill Street, though no records have
been kept. Two thousand people have been diverted from one place to another,
'and it is just moving the problem from one place to another for someone else to
dea 1 with.
There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed.
A break was called.
Mr. Hanks stated that Mr. Urso had asked what had happened to various other
options. Stop signs would have to be addressed as separate issues. The Federal
Highway Administration is conducting studies on speed bumps to see if they can
overcome the liabilties and there is an experiment under way in Sacramento.
Improving the 3rd-4th connector would be a difficult project and is dangerous
now because the streets do not align. Traffic counts are done during peak times
and 20 percent of the traffic goes through during those times. The number of
accidents has increased from four to five (January 22, 1980, to June 30, 1980,
and January 22, 1981, to June 30, 1981).

Mr. Lindberg stated that in other cities, one-way streets are used during rush
hour and at other times the streets are two-way. He asked what would happen if
. this street were left open except during rush hour. Mr. Hanks responded that
this could be tried but it does not seem feasible with their low amount of
manpower. It would take a physi~al barrier of some sort. Mr. Lindberg stated
that Mr. Hanks had indicated that accident data would not help. He asked about
the possibility of a head-on collision with the diverter as noted by the Parks
and Recreation Department. Mr. Hanks responded that some people are passing the
diverter as though it were another car. Visibility is very good, generally,
except for the Parks Department driveway, which is very close to the diverter.
Mr. Hamel stated that he has been against diverters ever since he has been on
the council. This is a traffic problem, and if everyone worked together they
could do something. Everyone is entitled to drive through that area and he
feels it is unfair when diverters are put up.
Ms. Miller stated that she has concerns about the disruptions in parks caused by
cars going through them. With the 29th Avenue and Hilyard Street project,
Amazon Park will have a street removed. Another example upcoming will probably
be Hendricks Park, which may have additional problems in the future. Heavy,
high-speed traffic and neighborhood needs are not compatible. The predominant
use of Cheshire is as a short-cut from the Ferry Street Bridge to River Road.
She would suggest the diverter be left in place temporarily. If there are not
further solutions presented, perhaps the diverter should be maintained until the
connector is completed. Staff must determine where the traffic is going. Some
of this traffic is going across Beltline or Washington-Jefferson Street Bridge,
and some is going across 4th Avenue, but most goes to 5th, 6th, and 7th avenues.
. This shifts it from the park into a commercial area.
Mr. Obie stated he has difficulty keeping 2,000 people per day out of a park
they have paid for. He feels it is positive to be able to drive through a park.
Central Park has streets through it with pleasant drives. When he hears inner-
city neighborhoods complaining about 3,000 cars per day, that is a small amount
in comparison with amounts that are in other areas of this city. He feels it is
a shame to deny people the opportunity to enjoy the park by closing the street
that goes through it.
Ms. Wooten noted agreement with Ms. Miller. Diverters are to try to shift
traffic onto arterials which are wider, improved, and maintained for cross-city
traffic. She would support maintaining the diverter until there is an acceptable
solution to deal with the problem.
Mr. Lindberg agreed that the diverter should be retained, at least temporarily.
Other parkways in other cities are different and they are designed for different
purposes. It is the neighborhood streets that are'the concern. He thinks it is
unfortunate that there is a railroad track there.
Ms. Schue stated this is not an easy situation. She would like to keep the
through traffic on the arterials and out of the neighborhoods. This has been
done in other areas, such as on Potter Street. She agrees with Ms. Miller that
something better can be done. She would support retention.
.
MINUTES--Eugene City Council August 10, 1981 Page 9
Mayor Keller stated that all people have the right to access to the parks. The
council thought that this diverter would be temporary. The neighborhood feels .
that it is permanent ,but that was not the intent. It appears that the desired
results are not being met and the diverter should be removed, but that does not
mean additional studies of the problems will not occur. The access question is
realistic. Amazon Parkway cuts through parts of Amazon Park. He is not sure
why Potter Street was closed. He does not think people want the park to be
isolated. His preference would be for the council to support removal of the
barricade with a report back on other options.
Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Ms. Wooten, to direct staff to leave
the temporary barrier in place until there is another option for
resolution which might include, but not be limited to, the Chambers
Street Connector, and direct staff to continue to study this
problem. Roll call vote; motion carried 4:3 with councjlors
Miller, Wooten, Lindberg, and Schue voting yes; and councilors
Smith, Hamel, and Obie voting no.
C. Art in Public Places/Percent for Arts Ordinance (memo, ordinance, and
rules distributed)
Mr. Gleason introduced Dick Reynolds, Eugene Performing Arts Center.
Mr. Reynolds stated that since the materials were mailed out, there have been
some additions. Under "Use of Funds," the amount established for the art fund
may be zero, but shall not exceed more than 1-1/2 percent of the project construc-
tion costs. The ordinance recognizes that some projects may not be appropriate
for one project but could be appropriate over a period of time. The ordinance .
defines the various terms as well as the selection committee and authorizes the
City Manager to carryover between fiscal years. The ordinance outlines the
selection process and designs the role of committee members. The Rules of
Procedure and Internal Organization establishes criteria for selection of art
which will be in the best interests of the City of Eugene as well as written
criteria for submitting grants.
Ms. Smith asked if the visual arts coordinator named in the ordinance will be
someone from existing staff. Mr. Reynolds stated that the person has not yet
been assigned, but it will be someone from within the present budget. Ms.
Wooten asked if thought was given to a weighted priority for local artists and
noted that she hoped that this would occur. Mr. Reynolds stated that it does
not specifically weight projects for local artists but it does state that this
will occur when possible. One goal is to obtain quality, respectable collections
of art on behalf of the people through the City. Ms. Wooten said she did not
intend for her remarks to be taken for local art exclusively, but she would hope
efforts would be concentrated in the local area. Mr. Reynolds stated that any
professional visual artist or craftsperson, regardless of place of residence, is
eligible to apply, except when the selection committee has determined it is not
feasible to conduct an open competition. When quality and appropriateness of
the proposed works are of equal merit, prefe~ence may be given to Eugene artists.
Ms. Wooten indicated that she is pleased this is happening, but "equal merit"
.

f;'
will vary greatly. This could cause graphic disputes such as occurred with the
. Eugene Performing Arts Center. Mr. Gleason noted that the attempt was to
delegate responsibility to the selection group. If the council wants to make
that more specific, the language should be changed. Policy directions could be
made.
Mayor Keller asked for clarification of "Eugene artist." Ms. Wooten responded
that she would prefer to say "Lane County artist," but she does not see the
Eugene Performing Arts Center as the primary focus. Mr. Gleason suggested
changing the language from "may be" to "should be." Ms. Smith concurred that
was an appropriate suggestion, and feels that will give staff better direction.
Mr. Obie indicated agreement. There are many questions if the focus becomes too
narrow. He feels the language change would be good. Ms. Wooten indicated that
she would prefer "shall be." '
Public hearing was opened.
Kathleen McClaren, 2295 East 29th Avenue, said that this has been reviewed by
many groups and the Oregon Arts Committee will be using it as a basis for
selection of art. All those who reviewed the ordinance and rules think it is
one of the best examples they have seen. She agrees that the language should
state "will" or "shall."
There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed.
CB 2348--An ordinance concerning art in public places; adding Sections
2.638, 2.640, 2.642, 2.644, 2.646 to the Eugene Code, 1971;
. amending Sections 2.013 and 2.859 of that code, and declaring an

D. Transportation Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 1981-82 to 1985-86
(memo and additional information distributed) .
\
Mr. Gleason introduced Irv Berman, Public Works.
Mr. Berman stated this is a joint presentation of Public Works and Planning.
The Five-Year Transportation Improvement Program occurs every year. It is a
five-year planning document with no commitment for implementation by the council,
but it is used for compliance with FHWA,and UMTA. It is a requirement by those
agencies for the jurisdicationsto be eligible to receive Federal funding. It
is also used as a planning tool for the local jurisdictions and utility com-
panies to coordinate planned project budgeting to mesh with City projects. On
July 20, 1981, the Planning Commission recommended adoption of the draft TIP to
the council, with two modifications or changes for this year's TIP. In Eugene's
fiscal years 1983-84 and 1984-85 the Chambers Connector will be added for
right-of-way and portion of construction, which will be funded by Lane County.
The Chambers Connector is a joint City-County project with Lane County as lead
agency and the funding for Eugene's portion of the project will come from Lane
County through the Arterial Aid to Cities program. Although Highway 99 (6th-7th
avenues) from High Street to Blair Boulevard will be indicated in this year1s
TIP, ODOT has said it will be postponing construction of Washington to High
section to 1986. Widening of 6th-7th from Blair to Washington has been deleted
for now, reflecting funding problems at the State level, although this is being
appealed by staff. They would recommend that the council notify the State
Department of Transportation that the widening of 6th-7th avenues to four lanes
from High to Blair is one of Eugene's highest priority items. The Planning
Commission also recommends insertion of a footnote on the Lorane Highway project .
similar to the one found on page 77 of the T-2000 Plan so that ultimate design
will be sensitive to minimizing area effects.
Public hearing was opened.
Ms. Smith noted that this is discussion on whether or not to recommend approval
of the report to another committee (MATe), not to implement work on the projects.
Freeman Holmer, 996 Lariat Drive, stated that the Chamber of Commerce Roads and
Highways Commlttee has glven their endorsement to the Planning Commission
recommendations regarding the 6th-7th widening. He noted that written testimony
had been given to the council from this committee. Also, the Chamber of Commerce
appreciates the City and County invitation to nominate members for the Chambers
Connector Steering Committee. They will be submitting six or more nominations
from which the City and County can select their appointments.
Bruce Anderson, 777 Hi~h Street, stated that he had submitted a letter last week
and is tonight submittlng copies of a petition regarding changes in the TIP as
they apply to the Lorane Highway between Washington and Chambers streets. He
represents approximately 94 percent of the citizens who are property owners on
the Lorane Highway between Washington and Chambers streets, as well as the Crest
.

Orive Citizens. They support transportation planning, but have concerns over
. that project being footnoted. They are opposed to a piecemeal submission and
want it to be integrated and positive. ,If the portion of Chambers to Emray were
included as has been recommended, they would like to have a design review
hearing process. They would like to review, with Public Works and Planning, the
whole project, not just that one segment. When the council adopted this foot-
note, it was implied that something more than the normal review would be given.
Otherwise, there would not have been specific emphasis on this footnote. They
are suggesting that the whole area between Chambers Street and 29th Avenue
should be studied by January 1, 1982, with a report coming back from this joint
group (Public Works, Planning, and eight representatives from the citizen group
and residents) with recommendations. There are some areas with no controversy,
and there are some with disagreement. They are not saying to not do this
project, but rather, the question is "how.1I Attention should focus on the whole
project, not just one .2-mile section dealing with Emray to Chambers streets.
That is what people are requesting. There is a statement from School Oistrict
4-J in the staff notes of July 20, 1981, requesting establishment of sidewalks
to serve the children in the area. Many people did not believe that was accurate
and they asked for a response from 4-J which he distributed. Mr. Hamby could
not be present this evening, so the letter was distributed. This should not be
a basis for specific design construction. They would ask that the project be
deleted and have staff work with citizens to develop a report outlining alter-
natives for improvements in that area. They believe an in-depth study is
necessary.
Charlotte Schellman, 780 Lorane Highway, stated that she agreed with what Mr.
Anderson had stated and waived her right to testimony.
. There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed.
Mr. Berman clarified that this is a planning document. The first five years of
the project were taken from the ten-year CIP. The T-2000 Plan called for a list
of projects that should be done prior to 1990 and others that should be accom-
plished prior to the year 2000. The Lorane Highway section was one project
listed to be done prior to 1990 and staff felt it was more important to do the
Emray to Chambers section first. Mr. Hanks talked with one of Mr. Hamby's
staff. Bert Teitzel has sent out letters requesting a list of areas where it
was important for 4-J schoolchildren to have walkways and this was on the
list. There will be a staff hearing and public hearing prior to the final
design. Projects are not begun until individual budgets are approved. A
representative of the neighborhood group has filed a request for sidewalks with
the City for IFA funding for Crest Drive, Friendly Street, and Lorane. The
City's assessment process was explained to them. City funding participation for
individual projects is limited and frontage assessments will be made when
projects are done. It is up to the council to determine whether projects will
be given the go-ahead at Annual Capital Improvement budget time. The council
could indicate funding approval for the total design if they wish in 1982-83.
He thinks it would be good to develop the design from 29th Avenue to Chambers
Street and then present it to the neighborhood groups and finally go back to the
council for approval.

Mr. Obie asked if Mr. Berman is in favor of Mr. Anderson's request to design for
the entire area. Mr. Berman indicated that he is in favor of that. Mr. Obie .
asked if the design phase could be completed by 1982. Mr. Teitzel stated that
the design for the whole area was to be done in 1982, but they have one section
slated for construction then also. Mr. Gleason said there seemed to be no major
problems from staff's point of view. Mr. Obie asked about a vehicle for citizen
input. Mr. Gleason noted that in the normal design process, hearings are held
to allow for citizen input. He questioned setting up an entirely separate
design process as that being suggested. Mr..Obie noted that these people are
asking for a citizen input committee for this project and if the neighborhood is
involved, there c6uld be fewer problems later on. Mr. Gleason stated that this
would be an appointed citizen committee. He said that there is no need to
design the entire area as some of this has already been done in the T-2000.
There could be duplication for design where the couplets, etc., would be placed.
Ms. Smith asked if the design aspect of Chambers will be in the TIP. Mr.
Gleason stated the Planning Commission recommendation is that the project go
through the design phase and then into the construction phase by next year. The
citizens would like design only to be developed for the entire couplet in 1982.
Mr. Berman stated this recommendation could be amended to show fiscal year
1982-83 as only the design of the total project with no implementation at that
time. Mr. Gleason stated that construction could occur later. It cou 1 d be done
faster that way. Mr. Lindberg stated he could go with the recommendation from
the citizens but his concern is that the citizen group wants to stop the project.
It is a City policy that the City will provide services to everyone within the
boundaries of the City. It is highly unlikely that this proposed process would
prevent any improvements from taking place in the Lorane area.
Ms. Schue stated that citizen input is desirable but there are some parameters .
which the council will set. The street will be improved and assessments will be
made. Also, there may be some desion parameters that the City will impose.
Some compromise will have to come from the neighborhood. Mr. Anderson stated
that the people in the area believe major differences lie in the treatments that
are needed. The bike study of the council will say they must have sidewalks,
paved streets, bike paths, etc. These may not all be necessary in some parts of
the area.
Ms. Wooten stated that it has been made clear that citizens are willing to work
on this project. The reasons for constructing bike lanes no longer exist. She
thinks the council should remain open. The people in the area may be aware of a
better way.
Mr. Berman stated that one of the policies in the T-2000 plan is to encourage
alternative modes of transportation. Council has adopted a sidewalk policy and
staff will request them.
Ms. Miller stated that Mr. Anderson's comments and intent are clear. Some areas
are lIimproved to death.1I Staff is after provision of an adequate level of
services through an area with provisions for alternative modes of transportation.
Some trees may have to be removed, the street may have to be wider, and some
grades may have to change. There are many other options.

Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to recommend to the
. Metropolitan Area Transportation Committee adoption of the Eugene
Element of the Transportation Improvement Program Draft for Fiscal
Year 1981-82 to 1985-86; that Fiscal Year 1982-83 also will
include preliminary design of Lorane Highway, 29th Avenue to
Chambers Street, inclusion of the T-2000 footnote on Lorane
Highway; and the Planning Commission's recommendations to the
Department of Transportation.
Mr. Obie stated that Lorane Highway will be developed although there is flexibi-
lity as to how it will happen. Citizens will have to compromise, but it must be
treated as a unique area.
Roll call vote; motion carried 6:1 with Councilor Wooten voting
no.
Ms. Wooten noted that she supports the Ch,amber of Commerce position on certain
elements of the TIP, but cannnot support proceeding as the motion was made
because of its commitment to a process that may ultimately have greater ramifi-
cations than are intended at this time.
