<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Downtown Eugene Map <br />Visitors can now explore downtown Eugene through an interactive web map that provides information <br />about downtown Eugene’s public places of interest, recent public investments, City parking and <br />connections to the University of Oregon. Also <br />featured on the map are the 2004 Downtown Plan <br />concepts with reference links to the urban renewal <br />districts, great streets, and business incentives. <br /> <br />A drop down list includes a variety of downtown <br />sites which, once selected, provides specific <br />information about the location. A help tab <br />provides an easy resource for information on how <br />the map works and the planning concepts behind <br />its development. <br /> <br />The map can be accessed at: www.eugene- <br />or.gov/dtmap. It can also be found on the main <br />Downtown Eugene webpage at www.eugene- <br />or.gov/downtown.
