Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Update Starts in Eugene’s South Hills Area
The City of Eugene Public Works will conduct three open houses to gather public input on needed improvements for the pedestrian and bicycle system. The first phase of the pedestrian and bicycle master plan will focus on five neighborhoods in the south hills area of Eugene: Laurel Hill Valley Citizens Association, Fairmount Neighbors, Southeast Neighbors, Crest Drive Citizens Association, and the Churchill Area Neighbors. Here’s the schedule for the three meetings:

•  
  • Tuesday, Nov. 18, 5 to 7 p.m. at University of Oregon Agate Hall, 1787 Agate St.
  • Wednesday, Nov. 19, 5 to 7:30 p.m. at 4J Arts and Technology Academy Cafeteria at Jefferson, 1650 West 22nd Ave.
  • Thursday, Nov. 20, 5 to 7:30 p.m., 4J Churchill High School Library, 1850 Bailey Hill Road

All three open houses will have stations with information on the existing pedestrian and bicycle system, planned improvements, and innovative walking and biking design treatments. Participants will be asked to identify existing problems and needed improvements to make Eugene more walkable and bikeable.  City staff and members of the Master Plan Advisory Committee will be on hand to guide the public through the stations and collect public comments. Three separate meetings are scheduled at different locations in the south hills area for the convenience of the public. Interested members of the public can attend any one of the three scheduled meetings.
