JOSEPH H. GONYEA III P.O_ BOX 269 October 20, 2010 SPRINGFIELD, OREGON 97477 Mr. Kurt Corey Director of Public Works City of Eugene 101 East Broadway Eugene, OR 97401 Dear Mr. Corey My name is Joseph Gonyea, III and I reside at 1810 Firland Boulevard. Our home and property is at the intersection of Spring Boulevard and Firland Boulevard. On September 8, 2010 we called the number, listed in the City of Eugene Public Works Maintenance website, for missing street signs,to direct your attention to missing street signs in our area. This presents a safety hazard should we have a need for any emergency services, and a major inconvenience. There are 3 missing signs: 1) Where Firland "T"s into Spring Boulevard, the "Firland" sign is missing 2) At the same intersection, the "STOP" sign on Firland and Spring, both the "Spring Boulevard" and "Firland Boulevard" signs are missing and are blocked by trees that need to be trimmed. 3) The sign at Firland and Woodson was knocked down and disappeared more than a year ago. I believe the signs described in "1)" and "2)" above are within city jurisdiction, while the sign described in "3)" is perhaps both a city and county issue (refer to enclosed map). I know this is a time of serious budget constraints but I ask that you prioritize to repair and replace these signs as soon as possible as this is a safety hazard when nearly all of the street markings for Firland are currently nonexistent. Should you have any questions and would like to discuss this further, feel free to call me directly ay my office, (541) 747.4577. 1 would also be willing to make a donation if the funds could be directed to the repair and replacement of Firland Boulevard signs. Respectfully, 10 >AW Cc: Chris Olsen, City of Eugene - Traffic Maintenance Supervisor Marsha Miller, Lane County - Director of Public Works Jon Ruiz, Eugene City Manager
