<br /> April 26, 2002 <br /> Oliver P. Snowden, Director <br /> Lane County Public Works <br /> 3040 North Delta Highway <br /> Eugene, OR 97408-1696 <br /> Dear Mr. Snowden: <br /> Enclosed is the City of Eugene's application for the Lane County Community Development <br /> Road Improvement Assistance Fund. The City is seeking funding for the Judkins Point <br /> Interchange Glenwood Boulevard Improvements. <br /> This request is to partially fund transportation improvements on the north side of Interstate 5 on <br /> Glenwood Boulevard at the Judkins Point Interchange, The improvements are necessary to <br /> provide channelization to and from the northbound ramp terminals and at both approaches to the <br /> folded diamond interchange ramps. Planned and anticipated development on both sides of the <br /> interstate freeway will add to the need for these improvements to capacity and safety of the <br /> roadway system in this area. <br /> The project is part of a larger set of improvements to the approach roadways on both sides of the <br /> interchange. An Intergovernmental Agreement currently being developed between the cities of <br /> Eugene and Springfield and ODOT will serve as an overall interchange management plan during <br /> build-out of amulti-phased residential and commercial planned development over the next few <br /> years. <br /> This segment of roadway has regional significance for several agencies including the cities of <br /> Eugene and Springfield, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Lane County, and the <br /> Lane Transit District (LTD). The presence of Lane County's Glenwood Central Receiving <br /> Station and Lane Transit District's headquarters make this a key roadway to nearly every <br /> segment of the populace within Lane County. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. If you need any additional information, please contact Chris <br /> Henry at 682-8472. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> James R. Carlson <br /> City Manager pro tem <br /> <br />
