November 2000, said Steve
McBride, assistant athletic director
of internal operations. The project
is scheduled to be finished by the
fall of 2002.
The plans have come under fire
from some citizen groups, howev
er. The East Alton Baker Park Plan
ning Committee expressed concern
that the expansion will result in in
creased traffic in the surrounding
area and litter in the park.
The Autzen expansion is target
ing the south side of the stadium,
with the addition of 12,000 seats, a
grand staircase, and redesigned
handicapped access ramps. The
expansion plans also call for a
larger transit station for the Lane
Transit District and other buses,
restroom improvements, 32 pri
vate skyboxes, a club seating area
and parking lot renovations to im
prove access to the facility.
“The question of parking hasn’t
been addressed in this proposal,”
said Charles Biggs, a member of the
park committee who spoke of the
negative impact the expansion could
have on the park. “More people

“The difficult part of letting go
is that I’m not sure our generation
will be represented,” Lee said.
“Students bring $350 million an
nually to the local economy, and
it’s important that someone in City
Hall recognizes that and ensures
that some of those funds come
back to the University area. With
out students, the U of O wouldn’t
be here, and without the Universi
ty, which is the largest employer
in Lane County, Eugene would
just be another Medford. ”
Lee “has been very supportive of
the concerns and needs of students,”
said ASUO community outreach di
rector Mariam Fowler. “He’s always
been willing to offer his help.”
Working consistently with the
ASUO, Lee has helped efforts to
boost student voter turnouts, pre
would mean more pressure on the
park and the use of its parking lots. ”
The University currently uses
two lots on park land during game
days for staff parking.
“Our plan is to expand the alter
nate means of transportation, such
as foot traffic, bike traffic and ex
panding the park and ride system
with LTD,” Me Bride said.
Biggs raised the issue of in
creased litter in the park from peo
ple using the Autzen Foot Bridge
after the games. The park commit
tee is pushing for a commitment
from the University to clean up a
larger portion of the trash left be
hind by game spectators.
The University currently cleans
up litter after games within 50 feet
of the parking lots it uses.
Some committee members
agreed with Biggs that the Univer
sity could do more to prevent in
creased garbage in the park.
“I think the Athletic Depart
ment, on behalf of the University,
has an obligation to be a good
neighbor,” said Robert Melnick,
committee member and dean of
architecture and allied arts.
The committee will wait to
make a decision until its next
meeting on Jan. 31.
vent Halloween disturbances and
focus on legislative issues, ad
dressing topics such as renters’
rights.
Lee said one of his major
achievements in office includes
persuading the city to enhance
homeless services and allow car
camping on designated public and
private parking lots.
During the final year of his term,
Lee hopes to establish a council to
address urban watershed issues,
further expand homeless services
and help restructure city govern
ment to focus on long-term goals
and not get bogged down in what
he called “hot button" issues.
“There’s a part of me that still
misses being student body presi
dent, and there will be a part of me
that will always miss being city
councilor,” Lee said. “But life is
not a sprint but a marathon, and
you need to always look ahead.
That’s what I’m doing.”
