Students show bridge solutions

Solutions to Ferry Street
Bridge traffic problems need to
address urban design issues so
the city can revive its defunct
DECISION:
Ferry St Bridge
downtown
and rede
velop the
riverfront.
University
a r c h i t o c: -
lure stu
dents and
faculty said
Wednes
day.
•What
we do with this bridge is really
going to determine the nature of
development and growth of this
city." said Peter Keyes, associate
professor of architecture. "It will
determine the nature and funda
mental character of downtown."
Five architecture students pre
sented their Ferry Street Bridge
solutions to more than too
Fugene residents, students and
city officials at last night's pub
lic forum The students com
pleted the alternative bridge
designs in an architecture studio
t lnss taught by Keyes last year
Bridge designs completed in
Professor Jerome Diethelm's
landscape design class were also
presented. Diethelm’s students
completed their projects in
1987. when the Ferry Street
Bridge was first recognized as a
problem by c ity planners
Both professors and their stu
dents said the city's four pro
posed alternatives — ranging
from a no-build option to an
eight-lane Ferry Street Bridge —
focus only on tralfc* engineering
problems >
"No one really considered the
overall impact of these alterna
tives for the city and downtown
as a whole." Keyes said
' MORGAN SMTHAor 0» Emanld
Jim Cary, a gradual* studant In archltactura, axplalna hla propoaad
solution to tha forty Straat Bridga probism.
Student designs focused specif
legally on the downtown corridor
without taking into consideration
solutions that would cut through
Alton Baker Park. Keyes said.
Projects also addressed public
access to the river and suggested
the city redevelop its riverfront
when solving the bridge problem.
The Eugene Planning Com
mission last week recommended
that the bridge be widened to six
lanes. The expanded bridge
would include a bicycle and
pedestrian lane on each side,
but would be built so it could
later expand to eight lanes if
needed.
Architecture student lirnOtry
said widening the existing
bridge c orridor would desert the
downtown area. His design
focused on the rebuilding of
downtown. including the
removal of the Downtown Mall
to build a two-way street.
Other students, however,
agreed with the planning com
mission’s decision. Mark Miksis
proposed a six-lane bridge with
the continuation of Franklin
Boulevard onto 6th and 7th
Avenues. But his plan calls for a
pedestrian bridge from 5th
Street to Alton Baker Park.
All of the student projects
suggested the city build a bridge
that is attractive as well as func
tional. One student even pre
sented a late 19th century bridge
design.
The City Council will take into
considnrution theftudont designs
before selectingim alternative,
Keyes said. The student projects
will be displayed at Eugene City
Hall, 777 Pearl Street, through
out the next two weeks.
