West University neighborhood
may get six new bus shelters
By Rich Burr

Controversy over the West University Neigh
borhood Refinement Plan is far from settled, if
Wednesday night's forum on the longe-range
planning document is any indication
Harold Lannom, a member of the West
University Neighborhood team that wrote the
original planning draft, clashed with representa
tives from the Eugene Planning Commission,
Sacred Heart Hospital and the Eugene Chamber
of Commerce in a OSPIRG-sponsored forum
Members — including Lannom — of the
neighborhood have withdrawn their support of
the plan since the planning commission revised it
last fall
All the hospital wanted out of the process”
was a compromise, said Ed Mann. Sacred Heart s
planning director
And that's what the Eugene Planning Com
mission gave them, said Eleanor Mulder, a plan
ning commission member
"We were not acting as brokers between
groups. Mulder said The commission and
groups representing area interests created a plan
to benefit the whole community, she added
At issue is expansion of the medical com
munity in the vicinity of Sacred Heart Hospital
The notion that clinics are gobbling up the
land” is false. Mann said He cited an independent
study that shows clinics occupy only 6 percent of
the West University area
Basic economic and business principles will
keep clinics from over-running the neighborhood
and crowding out housing, said Tom Swocum of
the Eugene Chamber of Commerce
Swocum said it's unlikely the medical com
munity will replace present housing, and, more
over, its presence is an economic boon for the
WUN and for Eugene
The neighborhood is a part of the city of
Eugene,” Slocum said He added that the plan
serves the interests of the city as a whole
But Lannom said the medical community
creates a traffic problem to the WUN area
Two University representatives also voiced
opposition to the plan in its present form
Dave Lesser of the University's off-campus
housing office and Dave Rowe of the campus
planning office defended the protection of
residential housing
Lesser said the present plan could harm
student interests
He called for abandonment of the plan unless
changes favoring housing are made
Both Lesser and Rowe suggested more
student participation and increased unity
between student organizations and the WUN in
future planning
"It's not an us and them situation — them is
us,” Rowe said of the relationship between the
University community and the WUN

As many as 50 new bus stop shelters may be
built in Eugene with money from a special
$100,000 federal grant, says Lane Transit District
marketing representative Carla Chambers
Six of those are scheduled for the West
University Neighborhood, which would give it
more shelters than any other neighborhood in the
city, says Chambers, The federal grant specifies
that the money be spent only for bus shelters and
other passenger boarding improvements, she
added
LTD will pay for three of the West University
shelters and the neighborhood association will
match LTD's three through Community Develop
ment Block Grant funds and a Federal Aid Urban
Grant that was awarded to the community
through LTD
Block grant funds were given to the city and
then placed "under the umbrella of the neighbor
hood, says Marshall Landman. West University
grant administrator
The bus shelter additions, which cost $2,000
each, are part of nodal" developments in the
West University area. Landman says Nodal
developments are areas where people naturally
congregate or places that could be made more
conducive to congregation
In addition to the shelters, six wheelchair-ac
cessible concrete pads and three benches will be
installed in the West University area along LTD
bus routes The neighborhood association will
finance the additions entirely says Brenda Shea
West University bus shelter implementation dir
ector
Originally. LTD planned to install two bus
shelters, but it added one more when the neigh
borhood association offered to match the bus
district with three neighborhood-financed
shelters. Landman says
Shea compiled a photo album of the eight
most heavily used bus stops and presented it at a
neighborhood meeting, she says The neighbors
then voted for six locations through ballots in the
neighborhood newspaper she added
They were real enthusiastic about it Shea
says It was a real needed project "
The West University Neighborhood Center at
1458 Ferry Street will receive nodal improvements
as well, Landman says Those developments
include a covered bike rack, a highly visible
bulletin board, landscape plantings and a bar
becue to make the yard more useable for neigh
bors
The final designs will be completed in a
month and construction is expected to start in
two months, Landman said
