Jan Gund �� TRANSPORTATION Chair, Task Force o ea4., 4,fitupo'de Box 5328 ' / REGION 2 Eugene, OR 97405 y J pn JF, f Dear Ms. Gund: FILE CODE: I am responding to your request for permission to paint murals on the I-105 roadway support pillars in Washington / Jefferson park in Eugene. I commend you for the effort your group is taking to change the use of the park beneath the bridge. My apologies for the differing stances our Department has taken to date, and the time frame for a response. It is not a typical type of request and took a little more time on our part. The park was permitted at this location through a written agreement between the Oregon Department of Transportation and the City of Eugene. Since this park is maintained by the City, we would be willing to issue a permit to them allowing the painting of murals on the columns. There would be conditions placed on the permit to ensure the proper maintenance of the murals and ability to maintain the structure. I am quite sure, however, that permit provisions could be worked out to the satisfaction of all. If this proposal is acceptable, I recommend that you contact the City of Eugene Public Works Department and work with them to obtain the permit from the District 5 Office in Springfield. Our District office in Springfield can advise on how to best proceed with the permit process. The District 5 Permit Specialist, Mike Barker, can be reached at 726- 2552. I appreciate your interest in improving conditions in your community. I also appreciate your patience and willingness to work with us. Sincerely, W.
