Our recent survey shows that most community members who follow City social media prefer Facebook, so we are channeling our efforts there. Please follow us at City of Eugene Transportation (yes, we WILL cover all PW topics!)

Construction in Downtown Eugene has been challenging this spring, but the outcomes of the projects will be so worth the headache! Thank you residents and businesses for your patience during construction. This work is an investment in our community. Read the photos for an update!

THANK YOU for your patience during the closure of Pearl Street last week between Broadway and 10th. The closure was originally planned to last 20 days, but we were able to only close for 8 days instead, a huge accomplishment! Moving forward, Pearl Street will always keep at least one lane of travel open. Bike riders should use the new High Street Bikeway to go south until the Pearl Street project is finished later this summer.

There are no anticipated closures on Oak Street until paving begins. All paving is planned to take place at night on both Pearl and Oak in late June and early July. This will help prevent disruption for residents and businesses downtown. Oak Street will keep at least one lane of travel open during construction. When these projects are done, there will be a smooth road surface, more accessible sidewalk curb ramps, a bike lane on the west side of Pearl Street and shorter pedestrian crossings at several intersections along Oak and Pearl. Thank you, voters, for approving the Street Repair Bond Measure that is funding this work.

Several closures are upcoming on 8th Ave next week for repaving. Monday (5/13) 8th will be closed between Olive and Charnelton. On Tuesday (5/14) 8th will be closed between Charnelton and Lincoln. Once paving is complete, we will be entering the final phase of the 8th Ave Streetscape Project! That’s striping, converting the street to two-way travel and finishing the protected bike lanes. By the end of summer 2024, downtown 8th Avenue will be a continuous, 2-way, urban street with complete bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

Great story from the Register Guard about the measures Eugene's Urban Forestry team takes to protect our valuable tree inventory. Although many trees were damaged in January's ice storm, it could have been much worse if preventive work had not been done. registerguard.com/story/news…
How Eugene’s Urban Forestry program works to protect city trees from erratic weather

How Eugene’s Urban Forestry program works to protect city trees from erratic weather

Local foresters worked diligently in prior years to properly prune and maintain trees, minimizing the risk of tree failure during the winter storms.

A reminder: Please do not put tree debris from private property in the public right of way (streets, medians, bike lanes, sidewalks, parks and trails). Not only will private debris not be picked up, it prevents crews from being able to recover from the storm and do leaf pickup.

City crews will be cleaning storm debris along Coburg Road starting Feb. 8 and continuing until completion. Work zones and lane closures will be in place, so please plan accordingly! City crews have completed 1,700+ work orders since the storm recovery started two weeks ago! 😮

The snow/ice emergency parking ban has been lifted, so people living on priority routes can park on the street again. Our awesome tree crews, flood watchers and storm drain teams continue to assess and clear hazards in the public right of way. Please be patient, and thank a crew!

Roads remain dangerous as more freezing rain falls. Public Works crews are treating priority roads and addressing fallen trees, but the public is asked not to drive unless absolutely necessary. More ice can mean more fallen trees, so report those in public areas at 541-682-4800.

Tree damage is worsening as Urban Forestry and other crews work to keep the right of way clear and safe. If you see a tree or limb creating a hazard on a road or in a median should call 541-682-4800 with the location, size of tree and how many lanes it's blocking. Thanks, teams!

City crews continue to respond to the ice storm. Trees are a major concern, as are roads. We are working hard on both, running 24 hours a day to keep Eugene community members safer. If you see a tree or limb down in a public space that is causing a hazard, call 541-682-4800.

The City has declared an emergency parking ban to allow crews to clear or treat priority roads. Check our map at eugene-or.gov/snow to see if you live on a street where parking is banned. Also, please remember it is not safe to pass snow plows. It puts everyone in danger!
