July 1995 Proposal for shared parking facilities at Autzen Stadium between the City of Eugene and the University of Oregon Summary This document sets forth a number of possible agreements between the University of Oregon and the City of Eugene to formalize and continue the shared use of existing parking facilities both at Autzen Stadium and within Alton Baker Park by the University and the City. Background Beginning with the construction of Autzen Stadium in 1969, a series of intergovernmental agreements between Lane County and the University of Oregon resulted in the transfer and /or sharing of land in Alton Baker Park and the Stadium parking lot for the benefit of the public. Past improvements that have been the subject of these agreements include the Autzen Footbridge, the Park's waterway, the WISTEC Museum, the Cuthbert Amphitheater, the BMX track, and the Stadium itself. In each instance an attempt was made to maintain constant levels of available parking for the Stadium. One of these exchanges included the Oldham Slough area which, because of the nature of the area, has not been usable for parking. A map summarizing these exchanges is attached (Figure 1). The two most recent agreements between the County and the University (1982 and 1992) established the basis for the current shared use of the area. Additional agreements between the City and the County relate to the construction of Leo Harris Parkway and the transfer, as a result of the golf course election a few years ago, of County parks land to the City. 1992 Agreement between County and University County agrees to 1. Allow use of area "A" for parking until January 1, 1997 and consider a request from University to extend this agreement.
