Notice of Proposed Amendment

Letter. pdf
Attached is a completed Notice of Proposed Amendment for a text amendment to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan
Area General Plan (Metro Plan). The text amendment is an exception to Statewide Planning 60al15 (Willamette
Greenway) for the purpose constructing a bike viaduct on the south bank of the Willamette River, beneath the new I-S
Willamette River Bridge. Construction of the viaduct will require some fill within the Greenway boundary for this
segment of the river, triggering the need for the Goal exception.
The bike viaduct will allow future development of a bike path along the south bank of the Willamette River, through
Glenwood, connecting Eugene and Springfield. The south bank bike path is a listed project in TransPlan, the local
transportation plan. ODOT has approved a $1.4 million TE grant for the project.
The full text of the amendment is included as an attachment to the DLCD notice. The attachment provides additional
details and back ground for the proposed amendment.
The jurisdictions of Springfield, Eugene and Lane County are jointly submitting this proposed amendment and Goal 15
exception. A letter signed by the Planning Directors for the three jurisdictions initiating the amendment is also attached.
A mailed hard copy of this proposed amendment will be sent in today's mail.
