Springfield's Tenth Street to link
the new Q Street with downtown

houses and necessary right-of-way,
and demolition costs.

Trailer Park
Proposal
Given Study
Members of the Springfield
Planning -Commission Monday
evening studied a proposal which
would permit development of a
large trailer park between 12th
nd 14th and north of Main
Street.
The commission said many of
the provisions in the proposal
could later be incorporated into
a city ordinance regulating the
development of trailer park facil
ities.
The agreement considered Mon
day night would be between the
City of Springfield and S. Dun
can and F. Powell, who are seek
ing to develop the park between
12th and 14th. Duncan and Pow
ell arc also requesting a change
in zoning for the property from
residential to commercial.
Under the proposal, Duncan
and Powell would have to pro
vide sufficient parking space,
provide landscaping, and provide
individual trailer sites that aver
age 2,000 square feet. No one site
could be less than 1,600 square
feet.
The planning commission will
study the proposal in more de
tail at its next meeting.

is provided.
Hruza's feasibility study also
indicated that the area north of Q
will never build up to the point
where the presently planned ac
cess roads (Second and 3rd, Fifth
and 14th) won't be able to han
dle the traffic flow
The planning consultant said
Fifth Street, if widened to 42 feet
and converted to four lanes,
could handle all the projected
growth immediately north of
Springfield.
He predicted that the new Q
Street, when linked to Highway
57 on the east and the Ferry
Street Bridge area on the west,
will carry a "tremendous amount"
of east-west traffic. By 1965, this
thoroughfare will carry about
27,000 ears a day, the Oregon
Stale Highway Department has
estimated, according to Hruza.
Hruza s study was taken under
advisement by the planning com
mission and will be discussed
again at the next commission
meeting.
