The remainder of the Parkway should be constructed at a minimum of the .100 year flood elevation. 4) Typical cross sections and right of way Construct the Parkway with a typical section of approximately 76 feet of right of way in the southern narrow segment that includes a minimum 6 foot shoulder for landscaping and "shy distance" from a sound barrier, and approximately a 96 foot typical right of way width in the northern segment (PeaceHealth section) except where feasible include the eastside 6 foot landscaped shoulder in the PeaceHealth buffer and easement areas, and a continuous median that is a minimum 8 feet wide at the intersections will be constructed as depicted on exhibits 1 and 2. . 5) Intersection layouts Locate intersections on the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway at RiverBend Drive, Cardinal Way, McKenzie Way, and Game Farm Road South as depicted on exhibit I and construct them to the forms as depicted on exhibit 2. Design and construct the Game Farm Road South/Belt1ine intersection concept and supporting text for the Option 1 that was unanimously approved by the "North Link Stakeholders" on 1/14/03. 6) Intersection form for the Harlow/Hayden Bridge Way intersection Construct the Harlow/Hayden Bridge Way intersection with Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway as a two lane roundabout with a connection to Wayside Lane as depicted on exhibit 3. 7) Seward Street connection Open Seward Street during the construction phase of the Harlow/Hayden Bridge Way roundabout and request Lane County Board of Commissioners to evaluate whether to keep Seward Street permanently opened after completion of the roundabout construction. 8) Hayden Bridge Way parking Remove parking on Hayden Bridge Way for approximately 1000 feet and construct, where feasible, and with owner consent, shared or modified driveways for better access to Hayden Bridge Way as depicted on exhibit 3. 9) Septic drainfields along southern segment Mitigate the impacts on septic drainfields of adjoining residences where they are negatively impacted by the construction of the project within the 0 to 10 foot impact area in the southern segment of the project. . 10) Soundwalls in the southern segment Affirm Council action in 1998 and locate and construct a 7-9 foot high sound absorptive pre- cast concrete walls along the southern segment as depicted on exhibit 1. . II) Criteria to establish soundwall height Use a combination of late night and 24-hour criterion noise measures that requires about an average 7 to 9 foot sound wall height in the southern segment. 12) Beltline sound walls Do not construct sound walls along Be1tline Road (Hutton to Game Farm Road South) as part of the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway project. 13) Springfield Utility Board (SUB) transmission lines in the southern segment Direct staff to keep the existing SUB (l15 kV) transmission poles within the 76 foot southern segment right of way and provide design elements to reduce the potential fixed object hazard of these poles. 14) Undergrounding southern segment transmission lines if agreement reached by SUB and Lane Transit District (LTD) That if in the future there could be a way for SUB and LTD to come to an agreement on undergrounding the transmission line in the southern segment, that it is allowed to occur at LTD's expense. 15) Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in the southern segment .

Game Farm Road South - Closure of the south leg of Game Farm Road South at the connection to Belt1ine Road to limit motor vehicle access at this point; locate bike and pedestrian routes along this parallel County Road, at some point in the future, rather than the Parkway, but support the City effort to create easements where possible in the neighborhoods for bike and pedestrian paths; and . , 1 Resolution 04-30 . · Sound Walls - Approval of a 7 to 9- foot wall height using a combination of late night and 24-hour noise measurement criteria; not constructing a sound wall along the south side of Be1tline at the connection of Be1tline Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway as part of the project; and · Intersection Form at Harlow/Hayden Bridge Road Intersection - Construction of a two-lane roundabout design with a Wayside Lane connection as illustrated on Exhibit 3 attached and incorporated herein by this reference with provision for specific pedestrian and bicycle accommodation at and near the roundabout as requested by the County Engineer; and · Hayden Bridge Way Parking Removal- Removal of parking on Hayden Bridge Way for approximately 1000 feet and construction, with owner consent, of shared driveways for better access to Hayden Bridge Way as illustrated on Exhibit 3 attached;' and ' .. . \, · Seward Street.;.. Opening Seward Street during construction of the project to provide ana1ternat~ route away from construction activities for County residents along Wayside Lane, and to consider, at a later time, what the permanent status of Seward Street should be; and . · Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)/Septic Drain Fields - Provision of additional right-of- way, to a total width of 86 feet, sufficient for a dedicated BR T lane within the southern segment of Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway; mitigation of the impacts to the septic drain fields consistent with adopted right-of-way acquisition area along each side of the southern segment related to roadway and dedicated BRT lane; and Lane Transit District (L TD) Board agreement to be responsible for condemnation, the cost of right-of-way acquisition and the cost of mitigation to septic drain fields for the extra width for a dedicated BRT lane per Intergovernmental Agreement. AND THE COUNCIL FURTHER RESOLVES: · Although County is responsible for negotiating, acquiring, and any necessary condemnation for the provision of additional right of way for BR T, the financial responsibility for negotiating, acquiring, and any necessary condemnation for such additional right of way shall be borne by L TD; and · Lane County is authorized to enter into negotiations and acquisition of property necessary to acquire right of way on behalf of the City of Springfield for the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway including but not limited to, negotiation, acquisition, relocation assistance and condemnation; PROVIDED HOWEVER, in acting on City's behalf, Lane County shall comply with the applicable requirements of Oregon Revised Statutes and Federal Law regarding relocation assistance and condemnation. .
