We plan on <br />construction in 2002. We propose the project be designed by city staff and the construction contract managed in <br />accordance with normal City proccedures. We are open to discussion of an IGA should the County excercise it's <br />right of fast refusal. <br />The City of Eugene is committed to rehabilitation of amulti-modal train station in Eugene. The station is intended <br />to provide transportation options for all modes of travel including: pedestrians, bicyclists, automobiles, buses and <br />taxis. This important connection will be included in the NHS when completed. <br />By extending Oak Street through the station site, the multi-modal station will better serve those traveling in Eugene <br />and the high speed rail corridor. Increased ease of use will help increase the number of visitors to the area. The City <br />is currently in the process of purchasing the right of way for. this extension. <br />$2,000,000 in Federal TEA-21 funds and $1,173,000 in TE funds are devoted to the station acgisition and upgrade <br />project. Amtrak will contribute up to $1,000,000 more. These funds are not sufficient to complete the station <br />project and extend the road. Use of CaPP funds will allow us to finish the area improvements needed at the site. <br />The Oak streeet extension will be a very visible part of the Multi-modal station project and will add to the ecomonic <br />vitality of the area by supporting and encouraging train travel and circulation for the 5th Street Market district. <br />NOTE: If <br />1.
