AN oRDINANCE CoNCERN.I~VG THE R~QUE~~ED CHANGE
OF NAME OF GooDPA5TURE TS~ZAN~ RC}AD
The City Counc ~. v ~' the City of Eugene ~ .rods that :
The City endeavors to maintain a basic grid system when assign-~
ing addresses along streets and to assign corresponding numbers on
parallel blocks on both north south and east-west streets.. then a
street runs both northw..south. and east west as Goodpasture Island
Road does, the numbers assigned to the east~-west pardon might also
apply to north-~sauth portions of the road. Because much of the de-
velopment along, Goodpasture zs~land Raab occurred when the properties
were still in the County, duplications occurred when addresses were
assigned on properties within the City.
The post office has re~ueste~ that the name be changed for por-
bons of Goodpasture Island Road to eliminate the duplicate addresses,
and the Eugene-Springfield Ambulance service, the fire department,
r and the Eugene Police department have a~,so expressed their concerns
that response time during emergencies could be adversely affected by
the duplicate numbers.
Considerable de~relopment has occurred along Goodpasture Island
Road, and changing the name could result in inconvenience to many of
those people. However, the confusan that presently exists must be
resolved, and based upon the reco~mendations of the Planning Commis
sion, and the testimony before that Co~nm.ssion and this Council, it
appears that the confusion can be eliminated by: ~a} retaining the
name of Goodpasture Island Road far the entire street extending from
ordinance -- 1
1%'f97
Valley River Drive to Norkenzie Road; and ~~~ that address numbers
be modified on that portion of Goodpasture ~s~,and Road between
Valley River Drive and Delta ~iighway only.

tember, 1979, at the Council Chambers, C~,ty Hall, at ?:3o p.m, of
said day, was du~.y published in the Eugene Register Guard, a news-

the week immediately preceding the hearing.
