I think this is complicated by the various interests we are both trying to represent and <br />difficult to brainstorm ideas by e-mail. <br />What are the next steps? I realize you have been wanting to and willing to work on this issue for some tim'e, is it possible <br />that we can reach a decision by August 1? Hopefully the Leo Harris and LTD Transit Station (Science Factory) pieces are <br />easy. Can we find a temporary solution for lots 8/9? <br />i would be very happy if we could accomplish this all by August 1 st and that is a good goal. I could meet to discuss anytime on <br />Monday the 21 st, the morning of Tuesday the 22nd, the morning of Thursday the 24th. <br />I'm sure there are solutions both temporary and more permanent out there. Our task is finding some that works for everyone. <br />Another idea i think should be considered is options on how we could make available the close to 200 paved parking spaces we <br />have in the main ABP lot. <br />Let me know when you would like to meet. <br />Thanks <br />Johnny <br />Thanks for your efforts, Bob <br />(ps.. - I will be out of town Friday July 18th but back Monday the 21 st, then out July 29-August 1, but can appoint <br />someone to help execute a plan) <br />At 06:10 PM 7/11/2008, MEDLIN Johnny R wrote: <br />Hi Bob, <br />Thinking about our conversation of yesterday and your question regarding if other City lots could be made <br />available to the University for parking I think I've a few ideas. Some of these I've talked to Steve McBride of <br />U of O Athletics about in the past and some might be new. <br />I think a few ideas already floated: <br />We have the on-grass overflow parking area east of the shelters in Alton Baker Park (ABP). We rent this <br />area out in the summer for major events and I'm sure we could do the same for the University. The catch to <br />this is that this lot becomes unusable after about the second major rain of the fall and remains so until it dries <br />out well in the spring. Typically this would mean it could only be used between July 1 st and October 1 st. <br />The area on Leo Harris Parkway was rented by the University but that agreement has expired. This could be <br />renewed. This not having been the subject of a council vote would be a staff administrative action to renew <br />that lease. <br />The city-owned paved lot that is also used by the Science Factory (SF). This is the lot that previously the city <br />waived fees in favor of those funds going to the Science Factory. Since it is a required part of the TDM I'm <br />assuming you desire to continue using this lot. I believe everyone knew that the University was not going to <br />7/18/2008 . <br />. <br />~ _ _..... , <br />- _ ---- _- ~ _ __, <br />
