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." I

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

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.
