Autzen Path Improvements <br />This project replaced the light fixtures along the multi-use path through Alton Baker Park, from the south <br />side of the Willamette River to Autzen Stadium. A total of 36 new pedestrian-scale light fixtures were <br />installed with banner arms for event announcements. The system improves lighting on the path for <br />increased safety and reduces total electricity usage. New fencing and recycling receptacles were also <br />installed. <br />Street Repairs <br />Public Works Engineering and Public Works Maintenance have worked collaboratively to repair streets in <br />the east campus area. While not funded through state funds, these projects result in timely and lasting <br />improvements that will benefit visitors to the Trials as well as local residents. Examples of coordinated <br />th <br />street repair projects include the improvements to East 18 Avenue last summer and repairs to Villard <br />th <br />Street and 13 Avenue completed this spring. Public Works also has taken steps to ensure that no major <br />road construction occurs during the time of the Olympic Trials. <br />Funding for non-street projects included $200,000 in Oregon State Lottery Funds administered by the <br />Oregon Economic and Community Development Department and directed to the Eugene/Springfield area <br />for Willamette River corridor enhancement projects and safety during the Olympic Trials.
