Now Arailab to for Review <br />The City of Eugene Public Works Department has <br />conducted an evaluation of its public rights of way and <br />drafted a transition plan that outlines how the <br />organization will continue to comply with ADA regulations <br />and provide, to the extent possible, safe access within the <br />rights of way for all individuals. This plan will be a <br />separate companion plan to the City's existing ADA <br />Transition Plan. <br />As part of this new transition plan, Public Works collected <br />detailed data on over 15,000 sidewalk ramps and 250 <br />pedestrian signals to develop transition schedules specific <br />to these facilities. In addition to the inventory of ramps <br />and pedestrian signals and schedules, the transition plan <br />for the public rights of way also includes a system of <br />barrier removal prioritization, information on how to <br />request barrier removals from right-of-way facilities, and <br />an appeals process. <br />The draft plan is available for public comment through <br />May 31. An electronic copy of the draft transition plan is <br />available on the City website at www.eugene- <br />or.gov/adaplan. Paper copies of the draft transition plan <br />for facilities in the public rights of way are also available <br />at multiple locations: the Human Rights and Neighborhood <br />Involvement Office (99 West 10th Ave, Suite 116), the <br />Downtown Library (100 West 10th Avenue), the City <br />Manager's Office (125 East 8th Avenue, 2nd Floor), and <br />Public Works Maintenance Office (1820 Roosevelt <br />Boulevard). <br />itapi <br />kik 4TWK <br />Welcoming Parks for our <br />Latino Neighbors <br />Rienrenidosl <br />'Bienvenidos' or 'welcome' is <br />something we want Eugene's <br />Latino community members to feel <br />in Eugene parks. A local study <br />done in 2012 identified that <br />Eugene's Latino community <br />members do not always feel <br />welcome in Eugene parks. The Office of Human Rights Et <br />Neighborhood Involvement (HRNI), in partnership with the <br />University of Oregon Center for Latino/a and Latin <br />American Studies (CLLAS), is working with staff in Parks <br />and Recreation to do specialized outreach with the Latino <br />community as part of the Parks Et Recreation System <br />Plan. The Parks and Recreation System Plan will guide the <br />development and operation of Eugene's parks, trails, <br />recreation facilities and sports fields for the next 10 <br />
