[citation needed] In March 2010, the Oregon Transportation Commission voted to rename the highway from Beltline to Randy Papé Beltway.

This section is the stretch of 30th Avenue between the Amazon Park neighborhood and Lane Community College—a four-lane expressway which includes two interchanges.

To upgrade the interchange, a flyover bridge was built, eliminating the northeastern loop ramp and the weaving movements on northbound Interstate 5 and westbound Beltline Road.

[9] However, due to the sexual connotation of the number 69, sign theft would have been an issue, and the Oregon Department of Transportation wanted to sign the route to make navigation easier during the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials,[10] so ODOT requested that the Oregon Transportation Commission change the number to 14.

[14] In early 2010, Oregon governor Ted Kulongoski requested that Beltline Highway be renamed for local businessman and civic leader Randy Papé.

[2] This caused many people to be unsure about decision; there was little chance for any citizen feedback and, if the plan went through, around $250,000 would have been spent on sign changes.

[15][16][17] On April 13, 2010, the Lane County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to request a suspension of any plans to rename the highway.

[19] Opponents argued that while this proposal looked like a great deal on the surface, emails obtained from ODOT through public records request show that the renaming of the highway adds extra letters to the signs, which translates into larger signs and possibly larger supports.
