On area roads
Bike lanes to be added
Bike paths will grace improved
Eugene streets if a design
recommended Thursday by the
Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory
Committee is approved. Ac
cording to Tom Poage, a city
engineer, the design would be
used in improvement of Cal
Young Rd., Echo Hollow Rd., and
Norkenzie Rd. Funds for the
improvement of these roads were
approved in the November
general election.
The proposed design includes
two 11-foot wide traffic lanes,
separated by a 12-foot wide turn
lane, Poage said. Next to each
curb, he said, is a bike lane 4.5
feet wide. The design includes no
provision for parking, Poage
noted, but the roads to be im
proved allow no parking now, and

development nearby has
provided for off-street parking.
The design includes wide,
concrete curbs which incorporate
the bike paths. While the bike
path is level with the roadway,
Poage observed, it is dif
ferentiated from the roadway by
color.
Another advantage Poage
claimed for the design is the
location of the tire-grabbing joint
between the curb and the road
way-out of the cyclist’s way.
Poage also said that, while firm
figures must await bidding, he
believes that the proposed design
will cost no more than standard
designs.
After the meeting, Ruth
Bascom, committee chairer, said
that bids will be received this
Spring for construction of the
West Amazon Bikeway, which
will allow cyclists to ride from
West 15th Ave. across the
fairgrounds to Chambers St.
Bascom said that the path will
benefit students living in the
Westmoreland project, and
should be completed next sum
mer.

ECC student positions open
Applications are now being taken to fill the student position on the
Educational Coordinating Council (ECC).
The ECC is a state agency responsible for the administration of
federal higher education funds, data collection for federal ac
cumulation, planning the educational efforts of the state, and any
other special studies which the legislature or some other body may
wish done.
The first student appointment was made to the Council a year ago.
That appointment was made by the Inter-institutional Union of
Students and the process has become formalized for each year.
IUS delegations at each campus will screen the applicants and
then the IUS state assembly will make the final nominations to the
Governor.
Members of the Council attend a meeting every other month, and
put in about 20 hours work per week. The student should have some
background in educational philosophy and be able to work with and
debate administrators such as Chancellor Lieuallen and legislators
such as Vic Atiyeh.
Information and applications are available in 303 EMU in the IUS
office.
