City Seeks Formal Input on Bailey Hill Road, workshop #1
Start: 6:00 pm
End: 8:00 pm

The Bailey Hill Road Safety Coalition has been working to reduce
pedestrian danger on this street. At the Churchill Area Neighborhood
meeting on January 23, 2008, Eugene Public Works communication manager,
Eric Jones, agreed to take this safety issue into the Public Works
formal planning process.

That process begins with three public design workshops. They will
all be held on Wednesday evenings in the Churchill H.S. library from 6
to 8 p.m. The dates are April 9, May 7 and June 4, 2008. Anyone who has
an interest is invited to attend.

The first workshop on April 9 will highlight work completed to date and
will provide an opportunity for participants to learn more about the
concept of a "road diet" and how this treatment could be applied to
Bailey Hill Road. The second design meeting will use maps to have
planners mark out the design ideas generated by the participants at
these meetings. City staff will present a refined concept design at the
final workshop on Wednesday, June 4, 2008.

The goal of this process is to develop a concept design that
addresses operational and safety issues with the input of nearby
residents, the broader community, important stakeholders and City
engineering staff.

For additional information, contact Associate Transportation Planner, David Roth at david.f.roth@ci.eugene.or.us or (541) 682-5727. The Eugene project website is located at www.eugene-or.gov/pwprojects.

In related news the parents of McCornack, Kennedy and neighboring
Arts and Technology Academy at Jefferson are working on Safe Routes to
School grant proposals for their schools. Contact these schools to
volunteer.

Earth Week Cell Phone/PDA/iPod Collection Event at the Market of Choice 67 W 29th Ave, April 26th from 10 AM to 2 PM!
Start: 9:34 pm

Hi there,
I just wanted you to know NextStep Recycling will be at the Market of Choice 67 W 29th Ave, April 26th from 10 AM to 2 PM to collect obsolete cell phones, PDAs, and iPods from the community.
We have collected 479 pounds of cell phones/PDA/iPods in two days. We are looking to collect 2000 pounds of cell phones/PDA/iPods by Saturday April 26th, the end of Earth Week. It is our hope that every community member will clear out their drawers and closets and recycle their obsolete phones, PDAs and iPods tomorrow!
Did You Know? According to the US EPA:
* There are approximately 300 million Americans, and 245 million are cell phone users.
* There are an estimated 65 million old cell phones stored annually in U.S., with 8 million in Oregon, 71,500 in Lane County, and 39,000 in the Eugene/Springfield area.
* Approximately 130 million cell phones will be discarded annually in the U.S. alone. Of these, 50 million will be landfilled and 65 million are being stored in people’s desk drawers, closets and/or garages.
* The phones that end up in landfills or incinerators contribute to environmental contamination.
* Cell phones contain toxic substances including arsenic, antimony, beryllium, cadmium, copper, lead, nickel and zinc, all of which can leach into the soil and groundwater if not properly recycled.
* Cell phones that are incinerated form highly toxic dioxins & furans during the process, which evaporate into the air we breathe.
* These toxins have been associated with cancer and a wide range of reproductive, neurological and developmental disorders.
* The cadmium from a single phone is capable of polluting 158,200 gallons of water (2.4 million ounces worth of the various kinds of drinks we consume).
