Downtown design gains approval
By Brian Bloch
Emerald Reporter
Tin- Kugem- Planning Commission gave the
proposed downtown redesign another go-ahead
nod Monday, unanimously approving the city's
plan to improve an ess to the downtown area
After a public hearing on the design proposal
I eh r), the planning commission reviewed public
input and raised spt-cifit cpiestions about the de
sign during its Mondas meeting
The 7-0 vote and recommendations will la
passed on to the Eugene Cit\ Couni d lor a public,
hearing l eh 2r> The Eugene Downtown Commis
sion is also gathering its recommendations on the
design plans
After all recommendations are made, the city
council will likely place the design proposal on
the spring ballot for public approval
Although the commission approved the de
sinus, it included recommendations for specific
design changes to the city council.
After a lengthy discussion, the commission vot
ed 6-1 to recommend that Olive Street be opened
to standard-sized city buses, while traffic on Wil
lamette Street would be limited to smaller, shut
tle buses
The current design proposal allows for vehicu
lar, bicycle and pedestrian traffic on both Willam
ette and Olive streets, but specifies only limited,
shuttle-type bus traffic on those streets.
The planning commission also voted unani
mously to recommend that the city sponsor an
open art competition to encourage local artists to
submit artistic proposals for the design.
In addition, commissioners expressed concerns
about the design of a proposed downtown public:
plaza and the opening ot K Broadway The plan
ning commission split its view on the opening of
Broadway T i. with recommendations to leave
the street c losed to vehicular traffic:
