Oregon 0»#v t "***&
Tint Eugene City Council on
Wednesday adopted two ordi
nance*. one adopting the Central
Aren Transportation Plan, and
one that eases the rules on side
walk vending
The CATS update, in the
works for about two years, is
designed to encourage alterna
tive transportation and cut
down on motor vehicle conges
tion
The plan proposes the cre
ation of a downtown shuttle sys
tem, and new policies for
expanding and improving hike
lanes. Also proposed are land
use codes changes that would
promote "transit-oriented devel
opment." which includes mix
ing residential, retail and office
space in ureas easily accessible
by public transportation, bicy
clists or pedestrians
The council passed the CATS
plan unanimously after adding
two amendments Councilor
Nnncv Nathanson drew up an
implementation plan, hut
because some councilors had no
chance to review it. it was not
adopted. Instead, the council
decided to add an amendment
that says the CATS plan will
lake effect when the council
adopts an implementation plan
of somo kind
Some councilors voiced objec
tion to certain parts of the CATS
plan Councilor Barbara Keller
wanted three parts deleted,
including changing Lincoln
Street to a two-way street, creat
ing a new west Eugene parking
structure and (hanging 18th
Avenue to a five-larie corridor
The council instead decided
to add a second amendment,
requiring individual projects
within CATS to he prioritized
by the council.
In other business, the council
voted 5-2 to adopt an ordinance
that created several changes tu
the city's sidewalk vending poli
cies. Councilors Kevin Horn
bin. kle and Paul Nicholson wen*
opposed Randy Mc Donald was
absent.
The new ordinance consoli
dates all the various regulations
for sidewalk commerce, deletes
references to the type of items
allowed to be sold and strength
ens the city’s ability to restrict or
prohibit commercial activity in
areas of high traffic where safety
or accessibility may be a con
cern.
However, the ordinance keeps
intact a long-standing policy
that does not permit people like
David Miller, a k a. Frog, to sell
certain items while standing or
walking around the city. That
prohibition was ruled unconsti
tutional by the slate Court of
Ap|Hials last week, following an
appeal by Fn>g
Phil Weiler, with the Eugene
i ity manager's office, warned the
council that it would be opening
the city to further legal action if
it (Hissed the new ordinance with
out changing the policy regard
ing vendors like Frog. The ordi
nance passed with a note that the
council mav reconsider it.

This summer marks an
event of international recog
nition for the University
The International Confer
ence on Low Temperature
Physics will showcase Nobel
Prize winners and prominent
scientists from around the
world, as well as enhancing
awareness of the University
and Oregon, said the event's
chairman.
The conference will be
August 4-11 and will cover
such topics as superconduc
tivity, superfluidity, magnet
ism and ultra-low-tempera
ture physics.
The last time this triennial
conference was in the Unit
ed States was in 1981 at
UCI.A.
"It is an extremely presti
gious conference that is wide
ly sought after to host," said
conference chairman Russell
J. Donnelly.
Donnelly, o professor of
low temperature physics at
the University for 28 years,
was chosen by University
President Myles Brand to bo
chairman of the event, which
is one of the largest scholarly
events to come to campus.
"The University has an
opportunity to show its beau
tiful campus and new science
buildings to an international
science community," Don
nelly said.
Donnelly estimated that
the conference could draw
anywhere from 1,500 to more
than 2.000 delegates from
around the world.
"It would be difficult to list
all the countries," he said.
