AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE INSTITUTION of PROCEEDINGS
IN EMINENT DOMAIN FOR THE ACQUISITION of PROPERTY
INTERESTS AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF COBURG ROAD AND BAILEY
LANE, AND COBURG ROAD AND CAL YOUNG ROAD FOR THE PURPOSE
of INSTALLING TRAFFIC SIGNALS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGEN~
CY.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:
The City Council has authority under provisions of the City Charter and
applicable state 1 aw to institute proceedings i n eminent domain for the acqui si -
t i on of private property for public purposes, including the improvement of city
streets and construction of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and other features.
With the recently authorized improvements to Bailey Lane, traffic
congestion at the intersection of Bailey Lane and Coburg Road requires
installation of a traff i c signal . Further, because of the close proximity of the
Bailey Lane/Coburg Road intersection with the Cal Young/Coburg Road intersection,
it becomes necessary to integrate the two signal systems for safe and efficient
vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow.
The proposed traffic signal instal 1 ati ons shall be i n compliance with, and
i n furtherance of, the plans and specifications to be prepared by the City
Engineer i n accordance with provs si ans of Chapter 1 of the Eugene Code, 197I , and
applicable policies of the City of Eugene.
The right-of way to be acquired, to facilitate the construction of new
traffic signals does not significantly affect the present use of the property
from which i t i s to be acquired and i s the ]east disruptive taking given the
design for the intersections.
The costs of delaying the pra ject, the savings from efficient constructs an
management techniques, and the need to facilitate the safe and efficient movement
of traffic and pedestrians requires the City to act promptly to acquire the
necessary property interests for this project.
