Yet spending $10.7 million on the Broadway Place multi-use structure, known throughout Eu gene as “the” parking structure, at a time when the city has al ready decided to cut $12 million in services due to Measure 47, has raised the eyebrows of some city councilors. The structure, to be located be tween Lincoln Street and Char nelton Street, is a part of the city’s urban renewal program, and will be broken up into both public and private phases. The city will provide money to con struct a partially underground parking structure that will in clude 742 parking spaces, 60 bike lockers and public rest rooms along with other, smaller im provements. Once the parking site is developed, Lorig Associ ates, a construction company, will begin building the private phase of the project, consisting of 170 housing rental units as well as commercial buildings on top of the structure. The city’s $10.7 million fund ing share of the project will most ly come from the city’s parking and Downtown Urban Renewal District funds. The private hous ing units and consumer space will cost developers $13 million. Ground has yet to be broken on the project due to the looming ex piration of a $55,000 tax break promised to Lorig Associates dur ing the planning of the structure. The City Council was asked Wednesday afternoon to extend that subsidy, and in a six-to-two vote, the council agreed to make this action, but not without some dissent. Councilwoman Betty Taylor said she believed there were many big, empty spaces in down town for commercial space and two new parking garages on Pearl Street, and she did not believe the structure was needed. “I think Measure 47 and 50 have created circumstances beyond our control, which means we need the money for other purpos es,” Taylor said. Councilman Tim Laue, who said he had supported the project in previous years, said he also no longer supported the structure based on the financial situation of the city. But Council woman Nancy Nathanson stressed the idea that the structure would fit in with the public sentiment received from the city’s Growth Management Study, building within the down town area instead of expanding the boundries of Eugene. She stressed the idea that the structure is not just a parking garage but will contain the rental and com mercial units. “I think it’s a real discredit to this project to keep re ferring to it as the parking garage,” Nathanson said. Mayor Jim Torrey said he be lieved the tax break was an appro priate expenditure to begin to re new the downtown area. “I am personally willing to expend $55,000 of our money to make sure that this project goes for ward,” Torrey said. Based on the council’s ap proval of the tax break, construc tion on the publicly financed side of the structure will begin within the next ten days. Private construction of the rental units and commercial space, to be built on top of the parking structure, will begin in about one year, when the parking side is finished. The multi-use building is to be completed by the middle of 1999. Musicians will play ‘Chamber Musicals’ University student musicians who excel at chamber repertoire will perform "Chamber Musicale" on Sunday.
