UNIVERSITY OF OREGON NORTH CAMPUS CONDITIONAL USE & WILLAMETTE GREENWAY PERMIT APPLICATION Water Public water mains are available within close proximity to the west and east ends of the project area. Per Sheet C03 Water Supply Plan (Exhibit A), existing public water mains and associated fire hydrants are located along Riverfront Parkway to the west, along Millrace Drive down to Garden Avenue and Moss Street, along Alder Street, and along Franklin Boulevard. One additional public line exists to the north of the tracks, which curves west. Potential future destination points or extensions connect to the public line north of the tracks. Existing private water mains and associated fire hydrants are located south of the tracks, to the west of Riverfront Parkway. Other Utilities Natural gas service does not currently extend to the project area. Two major existing underground public (EWEB) power lines extend through the Study area. A 12kV feeder extends from the EWEB old steam plant site to the south side of Frohnmayer Bridge, and then splits, and extends north across the bridge, and south across the railroad tracks. A 115 kV transmission line extends from the old EWEB steam plant, along the north edge of the railroad tracks point just north of the Central Power Station, where it turns south and crosses under the railroad tracks. Large vaults (9Èx13È) with access manholes are located intermittently along the underground power runs. Relocation of the underground EWEB power lines is not anticipated and vaults are expected to remain in place. A major EWEB fiber optic line runs parallel to the 115 kV transmission line north of the railroad tracks. The status and use of other communications lines north of the railroad tracks are unknown. An EWEB steam corridor extends through the site. The steam system is no longer active, but some of the pipes within the corridor are being utilized as conduits for other purposes. EWEB intends to maintain the easement for the steam corridor. 6.4 Transportation The North Campus Area is located north of Franklin Boulevard, classified as a major arterial and state highway. Vehicles access the property primarily from Onyx Street (a university-owned local street), Riverfront Parkway (a local street), and Millrace Drive (a local street), where university surface parking lots are located in proximity to these access points. Riverfront Parkway currently continues north of the tracks, where it ends in a stub; north of the tracks, vehicle access is limited to service and emergency vehicles. North of the tracks, the Ruth Bascom Bicycle Path goes east-west along the property until Riverfront Parkway. It provides access west by connecting to the former EWEB property, north via the Frohnmayer Bridge, and south via Gallery Walk (a university path) and Riverfront Parkway. An east-west public bicycle path exists along the Millrace, where it provides a connection east to the CityÈs bicycle route along Garden Avenue (and ultimately the Knickerbocker Bridge). Pedestrian circulation is accommodated on the bicycle (multi-use) paths and pathways within the universityÈs property. Pedestrian crossings on Franklin Boulevard are located at Onyx Street and Riverfront Parkway/Agate Street. The EmX bus rapid transit station is located at Agate Street and Franklin Boulevard. The site is also served by bus lines 91, 98, and the Diamond Express. This land use application is supported by a Transportation Assessment report, which is included as Exhibit D.
