widening of Sixth Street this summer is
completed and the Chambers Street con
nector are completed.
The widening of Sixth Street planned
to begin early in June is expected to take
four months to complete and work on the
Chambers Street connector is expected to
be completed sometime in late 1988.
The temporary diverter will be install
ed in 1988 to allow study of traffic flow
patterns so the city can determine if it is
effective solution to the problem of
unusually high traffic counts on the
residential street to merit a permanent
traffic diverter at the site. Traffic counts
on the street have been as high as 4.200
cars per day where normal traffic flow
for a residential street is between 400 to
000 cars per day.
Until these construction projects are
finished and a temporary traffic diverter
is installed the council voted to erect a
stop sign at the intersection to help slow
traffic through the area.
Some council members expressed con
cern that emergency vehicles would
have difficulty getting to certain parts of
the neighborhood area if a traffic diverter
wort; installed at the intersection while
construction on Sixth Street was in
progress.
Residents living on West Fifth com
plain that over the last few years traffic
on the residential street has increased
dramatically raising concerns among
them for the safety of their children and
pets and also for the deterioration of the
street as a pleasant place in which to
live.

the historic Thomas Condon
collection. The museum site is
located near 15th Avenue bet
ween Agate Street and Moss
Street on the southeast corner of
the University campus.
The museum also symbolizes
the University's increasing
reliance on non-state funds to
finance construction, Hill said.
"Success has been built on
dedication and determina
tion..." and has not been
dampened by the lack of state
support for capital construc
tion. he said.
The College of Education ad
dition in 107H was the last ma
jor construction at the l Iniversi
ty built entirely with state
funding.
The new site will allow for
greater flexibility for traveling
exhibits and increased public
access, said Donald Van
Houten, acting dean of arts and
sciences. The present museum
reaches more than 100.000 per
s o n s annually t h r o u g h
statewide traveling exhibits and
museum visits — which ac
count for only one fifth of the?
total visitors.
"It’s a great change for the
museum," Van Houten said,
because the facility has been
hidden under the east wing of
Science 1. The new complex
will allow for increased
research functions too, Van
Houten said.
I he construction ot the new
museum became a possibility
after the University unveiled its
new $45. 3 million science
facilities. The present Museum
of Natural History, which was
built originally to house the
shops for the University
Physical Plant in 1944, is con
sidered outmoded and inade
quate to facilitate the Univer
sity’s collections, and will be
razed to make way for a new
geology building.
The U.S. Department of
Energy science project grant
will provide $485,000 of the
$740,000 needed for the con
struction of the museum, with
the Bowerman and Autzen
Foundations and private in
dividuals contributing all but
$60,000 needed for the project’s
total completion. No state
money is involved in the con
struction of the building.
After the science complex
dedication, it is only fitting that
the Museum of Natural History
have its own ground-breaking
ceremony, said Don Dumorul.

director and anthropology
professor.
As a result of the construc
tion. a net loss of ;t() parking
slots occurred but will be
replaced upon the museum's
completion this summer. A
grand opening is planned for
December l‘>87.
