Nearly the entire surface of <br /> the road is covered with potholes, patches and holes in the patches. There are some <br /> pla es where one lane of Stewart Road is not pitted with holes, but this condition is of <br /> no ore than 50 to 100 feet in length in two or three portions of Stewart Road. For <br /> mo t of the road both lanes of this portion of Stewart Road aze chazacterized by a <br /> co dition where the area of the road made up of holes is nearly equal to the area of <br /> no -holed surface. <br /> 5.

Wen proceeding westward on Stewart Road, just after the road becomes improved <br /> the e is a residence adjacent to and north of Stewart Road. There is another residence <br /> acr ss Stewart Road to the south. A short distance west of the driveways that enter <br /> the e residential properties, the City of Eugene has erected a barrier that blocks <br /> fu her westwazd passage on Stewazt Road. The barrier is composed of three parts. <br /> Th northern and southern parts of the barrier are similaz, composed of timbers buried <br /> in he ground, and connected by a metal rail. The third part, located between the <br /> of r two parts, is a single post, which can be removed to allow the passage of <br /> em rgency vehicles. <br /> 7.

Immediately west of the bazrier there is a <br /> dri eway proceeding north from Stewart Road. The driveway runs past the residence <br /> loc ted to the northeast of the barrier and around the residence azea to some lazge <br /> buildings north and east of the residence. West of this driveway open fields stretch <br /> we t to Bertlesen Road. The owners of this property report that some drivers have cut <br /> thr ugh their property to avoid the barrier in Stewart Road. <br /> 9.

This paved area extends from Stewart Road through this property to a <br /> fro tage road-like area that gives access to West 11`h. <br /> <br /> 'I', <br /> ~ <br /> <br />
