more than 30 installations throughout Eugene. The majority of installations will take place during the <br />spring construction season, using both contract and Public Works Maintenance labor. Sitework <br />Construction, an area contractor, is installing 26 ramps at nine intersections. That work is scheduled to <br />be completed by early June. Other locations are being constructing using staff resources from the <br />surface operations section. Along with CDBG projects, surface operation staff is also upgrading several <br />existing curb ramps that do not meet current ADA standards. For more information about curb ramp <br />improvements, including details about specific locations, contact Project Manager Wayne Masoner at <br />682-4883. <br /> <br />Process to Engage Community on Bailey Hill Road Safety Improvements <br />City of Eugene Transportation planning staff is initiating a <br />process designed to engage the community in a dialogue <br />on the topic of safety improvements on Bailey Hill Road in <br />west Eugene. A series of three public workshops will <br />begin on Wednesday, April 9, at the Churchill High School <br />library from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Two additional workshops <br />will be held on May 7 and June 4. <br /> <br />The first public forum will provide participants with <br />background information about the project and a summary <br />of existing conditions on Bailey Hill Road. Staff will <br />present the concept of a “road diet,” a design treatment <br />that may be applied to the section of Bailey Hill Road <br />th <br />between West 18 Avenue and Warren Street. <br />Neighbors, business and property owners and nearby <br />stakeholders have been invited to participate in a collaborative effort to make <br />Bailey Hill Road looking south <br />Bailey Hill Road safer and more functional for all users. <br /> <br />Additional project information can be accessed at www.eugene-or.gov/pwprojects or by contacting David <br />Roth, Associate Transportation Planner at david.f.roth@ci.eugene.or.us, or 682-5727. <br /> <br />Spring Green Building Educational Events <br />The City continues to partner with community <br />groups in coordinating various presentations on <br />green building strategies. The first presentation <br />was held on Wednesday, April 2, and focused on <br />rainwater harvesting with the local chapter of the <br />Northwest Ecobuilding Guild and the City's Green <br />Building Program. The next presentation is <br />scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, and will focus on <br />recycling efforts in conjunction with construction <br />and deconstruction. <br /> <br />The April 8 session, a panel presentation and <br />discussion on Deconstruction Methods and On-Site <br />Waste Management, is in collaboration with the <br />Eugene Branch of the Cascadia Green Building <br />Council. A 2002 analysis of the waste stream <br />showed that construction and demolition debris made up over 25 percent of Eugene's landfill waste - <br />that's the equivalent of about 34,000 tons a year. With the recent increase in Lane County disposal fees, <br />it makes even more sense to divert recyclable construction and remodeling debris from the landfill. <br />Fortunately, there are several options readily available to keep useful materials from ending up at the <br />dump and representatives from BRING, EcoSort, Essex General Construction, and Building and Permit <br />Services Division will explain how. This presentation will be at noon in the Library Singer Room. For <br />more information on green building strategies and events, please contact Green Building Analyst <br />Jeannine Parisi, Planning and Development Department, 682-5541. <br /> <br /> <br />Friends of the Library Book Sale – April 12 and 13 <br />th <br />Celebrate National Library Week among Friends! The 30 Annual Friends of Eugene Public Library <br />Book Sale is slated for Saturday, April 12, 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Sunday, April 13, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />April 3, 2008 <br />
