Below is the June 2024 report for the Transportation Committee. I am pleased with some of the results we achieved this past month!
- Logan Telles, City of Eugene Transportation Planner, confirmed that he would meet the Transportation Committee at Tugman Park on Weds July 10. We will discuss the reduction of speed limits on Hilyard St. If there is no EWEB construction going on, we can observe the lower speed limit in action.
- We decided to highlight parks, trails, and open spaces in the south/southeast portion of the city. . .all part of the transportation network. . . at the SEN November general meeting. We sent a second invitation to Philip Richardson, Landscape Architect at the City Parks and Open Space and Manager of the Suzanne Arlie Park/Ridgeline Trail project, to give a presentation at the general meeting. No response yet. We also sent an invitation to the Obsidians hiking club to speak as well.
- Linda Duggan, as a representative of the committee, met with LTD General Manager Jameson Auten at the BEST event on May 19. Linda served on the LTD Community Engagement Steering Committee. She reported to us that she discussed the results of the committee input. Jameson said some of the input of the committee has been implemented.
- Rachel Anderson reported that there are approximately 150 signatures on the petition to increase safety at school crossings (flashing lights, crosswalks, etc.). More signatures to come.
Respectfully submitted,
Lucy Bambrey, Chair
