I .SECTION C EUGENE, OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 21, 1962 A Traffic Pattern For the Future By DAN WYANT Of the Register-Guard What are only heavy red lines in the map above may someday become a series of high capacity arterials and expressways. The red lines all indicate "generalized" locations of routes which a new long-range traffic study says will be needed by 1980 or 1985 to serve a daily traffic load of more than 2 million vehicle miles of traffic in the Eugene Springfield area. Existing major arterials are shown in black in the map. In some cases, proposed future routes correspond with the existing arterials. Information for this map was taken from a preliminary copy of the new highway use study prepared by the Bureau of Municipal Research and Service. The map is still sub ject to change after the preliminary study has been reviewed by the various governmental agencies that are participating in the survey. This includes the cities of Eugene and Spring field, Lane County, the State Highway Dept., the federal Bureau of Public Roads and the federal Housing and Home Finance Agency. The lines are not intended to show exact routes of the proposed future traffic carriers. Further engineering studies would be required to determine the specific rights-of-way. The recommended traffic plan is intended to "provide the most direct routes for tri largest number of vehicle-miles driven in the urban area." Access to and around the central Eugene business district would be provided by the four highways which form the Inner Belt System (marked "A"). Radial routes would connect the center with residential, commercial and agricultural areas around it. It would also require a bridge across the Willamette River near Villard Street. The "Armitagc" Route (B) would put a road north through Willakenzic. The "North west" route (C) runs along the Southern Pacific yard in the Bethel area. The "Roose velt" route (D) extends west from Railroad Boulevard. The "Amazon" route (E) would follow Amazon Creek through west Eugene, then continue east to the "inner belt" and "Armitage" route. The "Spencer Butte" route (F) extends to the Spencer Butte and Fox Hollow areas. The "Laurel Hill" route (G) has already been proposed as the "Bloom berg Cutoff." The "MeKenzie Relocation'' (H) would ex lend "Q" Street east beyond Springfield. The "North Eugene" route (I) would link River Road and Willakenzic areas. (Part is built from Coburg to River Road). The "Goodpast- , ure" route (J) would bring traffic south to j the future Washington-Jefferson Street bridge. ; The "Glcnwood Connector" (K) gives this area i access from the Pacific Freeway. The "Game Bird" route (L) would serve residential areas ; north of Springfield, linking the "North Eu- gene" and "Q" Street routes. The "Clear Lake" s route (M) would extend the North Eugene ; route on west toward Fern Ridge. The "West Eugene" route (N) is a north-south connector in the Danebo area. The "29th Avenue" route (0) links the proposed Spencer Butte Route with Chambers Street. The River Road-Cham- -bcrs Connector (P) would provide a link from Chambers directly north to the River Road sec- tion: The "Eugene-Springfield" route (Q) would extend the present "Q" Street cast be yond its present terminal. The "11th Avenue Improvement" (R) would be intended to im prove the traffic-carrying capacity of 11th Av enue through Eugene. The "Jasper Connector" (S) extends south from east Springfield. And, k finally, the "Second and Third Streets" route (T) provides additional access from Spring field to "Q" Street and the "North Eugene" beltline route. Along with these major traffic carriers, the survey recommends a numb';, of additional improvements to create mom connector streets throughout the metropolitan area. Copies of the 36-page study were distrib- r uted to members of the Eugene City Council and Mayor Edwin E. Cone for review last week. : Mayor Cone said Friday the preliminary study appears to "provide a positive guide to ! the development pattern in the Eugene-Spring-field area." He said the study should permit decisions on construction timing, and selection of spe cific routes, after cost estimates are made, to be based on "actual facts, rather than observa- t tions and personal opinions." Noting that population expansion is ex pectcd to more than double traffic densities on our streets by 1980 or 1985, Mayor Cone . said the report "emphasizes the necessity for freeways and expressways to relieve our exist- . ing streets and to provide savings to the people in time, operating costs, safety and property ; values." Said Mayor Cone: "If the community will : follow the guide provided by the study, we i should be able to keep our street and highway '' construction abreast of the need at far less ex- pense than if we vait until every action taken i is an emergency action to cure an intolerable situation."

Pair Studying Technical Education Touring Indonesians Visit Eugene Two Indonesian educators who visited the Eugene Technical-Vocational School last week are making a study of technical education in the United States. They are particularly interest ed in teaching methods, the educators explained, because In donesia needs more instructors who not only understand a tech nical field but who are able to explain it. Toclih Joesocf, of Djakarta, who trains teachers, explained In our country, we have men with technical experience, but not enough teaching expe rience. Accompanying Joesoef is Mochamad Mocljono, director of the technical school in Sura baia.

Experts Warn Rents to Rise WASHINGTON (UPD Rents probably will increase In the New Year, reports the U.S. De partment of Agriculture. The agency said the Increase would he due to rising costs of housing maintenance and re pair, heating fuels, water and property taxes. The most rapid increase Is In water rates. United Appeal Fund Drive Feb. 5 to 10 atUniversity A United Appeal drive Among students at Ihe University of Oregon will be held from Feb. 5 to Eeb. 10. Neil (loldscbmidt is chairman of the campaign. He and other student leaders have toured United Appeal child care agen cies in Portland and in Eugene. The goal for the campus drive is $3,000. Results will he an nounced at the annual meeting I of the Lane County Chest Inc. jon Feb. IS. Assisting Goldschmidt in the campaign will he Don David, publicity; Dotty Branaman, so rorities; John I.uvass Jr., men's dormitories; Peg Huston, wo men's dormitories; Sande Hill, secretary; John Gilbert, treas urer; Doug Collins, fraterni ties; and Connie Aucntt, student union representative. States in August, and Jocsoef arrived in November. Both re viewed their English in an in tensive course in Washington before beginning their tour. They will spend three months on the West Coast, and will lat er visit other parts of the coun try. Their tour is sponsored by the U.S. Agency for Internation al Development. While their tour is proving productive, Mocljono said, ideas picked up in the United States will have to he considerably modified for application in In-doncsia. "Here," he said, "there are enough teachers, equipment and literature. This is not the situa tion in my country." Asked if there were any schools in Indonesia similar to the Eugene Technical-Vocational School, Joesocf said "Yes, but not so complete." One of the best -equipped schools in the country, he said, was established with the finan cial help of the Ford Founda tion. This school is used for teacher training. Since winning its independ ence from the Dutch govern ment in 1D49, the leaders of In donesia have worked hard to improve the general educational level, Mocljono said. In 1943, he said, only 7 per cent of the population could read and write; today 70 per cent of the popula tion is literate. Public schools now give stu dents the opportunity for free education, a major factor in re ducing the illiteracy rate. The government has also es tablished specialized schools in such fields as agriculture, ani mal husbandry, forestry, trade, police training and nursing. lit. r. -"?.. ' Tl mm i. i, J if . 7 s.,.
