<br />Broadway Street Reopening <br /> <br /> <br />In the early 1970s, several blocks of Downtown <br />streets were closed to automobile traffic and <br />converted to a pedestrian mall. Like many other <br />communities that experimented with downtown <br />pedestrian malls, Eugene experienced a steady <br />decline in commercial activity within the mall. In <br />September 2002, the remaining three block.c; of the <br />former pedestrian mall on Broadway were reopened to automobile traffic. <br />Landscaping, street furniture, art, surface treatments, narrow travel lanes, and other <br />design elements have been used to transform Broadway into one of Downtown's <br />IIGreat Streets." <br /> <br />Aurora Building Apartments <br /> <br />In 2003, St. Vincent dePaul Society of Lane County <br />completed a $7.5 million mixed-use development that <br />includes 54 apartments with ground floor commercial <br />retail. The Aurora Building, located at 11th Avenue <br />and Oak Street, provides affordable housing in a <br />downtown setting close to urban services and <br />transportation. The Aurora features a unique <br />geothermal heating and cooling system. <br /> <br />,--'--~ .~ <br />______..----C" <~- <br /> <br />~--/~--..... <br />~-~- <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />RequestforPro~s <br />IOtlt & Chamelton Development Site 18 <br />
