University of Oregon planners seek alley for new arena
Daily Journal of Commerce (Portland, OR), Jul 10, 2008 by Report
University of Oregon planners are asking the Eugene City Council to relinquish public right-of-way of an alley and a portion of East 13th Avenue in order to construct its new, $200 million basketball arena.
The university wants to take right-of-way possession of the alley, which runs between Villard and Moss streets between East 15th and 13th avenues, and a small portion of the south side of East 13th Avenue, where it intersects with Villard. The city council can abandon public right-of-way only if it is in the best interest of the public.
The university owns all of the property adjoining the alley and is currently consolidating the northern block into one arena site.
A public hearing will be held July 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the council chamber to hear public opinions on the issue. The council will make a final decision later this summer.
