City approves transit project
■The Eugene City Council
has a lengthy debate over the
wording of its final resolution
By Sue Ryan
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Eugene City Council wran
gled over wording Monday night,
but passed a resolution approving
the first phase of the Bus Rapid
Transit project by a vote of 6-2.
Councilors debated whether to
amend the resolution in a work ses
sion th^y had to extend by 45 min
utes before they took a vote. They
introduced seven separate amend
ments to change the resolution’s
wording, two of which passed.
Fifty people filled the chairs and
stood against the walls to hear the
council’s discussion in the McNutt
Room at the Eugene City Hall.
Councilors Bonny Bettman and
Betty Taylor voted against the trail
sit project. Councilor Bettman intro
duced three amendments to change
language in the final resolution.
“Part of the reason I am looking
at amendments is we’re being
asked to commit a large amount of
resources to a plan that is not com
plete,” Bettmah said.
The first phase of the project is
planned to pe built from the Univer
sity at Franklin Bohlevard to down
town fiugene. Line Transit District
officials need approval from partici
pating governments by June to qual
ify for .5 million in federal fund
ing. Springfield C^ity Council and
Lane County Commissioners also
need to approve the proposal.
Lane Transit District planners ex
plained that the final details for
successive phases will.be devel
oped over time because the project
will be put in place over 20 years.
"LTD and the city have worked
together for an entryway to
Franklin Boulevard through a
three-year public process,” said Pat
Hocken, LTD planner. “If we don’t
start, we won’t ever get there.”
Planning documents listed some
elements of the pilot project, in
cluding removing some of the vehi
cle lanes from Franklin Boulevard
for use as guideways. Transit devel
opment requires some trees along
the boulevard be removed to ac
commodate the new system.
Councilor Nancy Nathanson
urged planners to remember one
initial reason for the project was to
increase ridership on mass transit
and alleviate traffic congestion.
“We hope you didn’t get rid of
the WOW function,” she said.
“Something new, slick and modem
to attract riders to it.”
Springfield City Council also met
last night on the project. Lane
County Commissioners will meet
today to vote on the plan.
