A link to the current <br />project report, as well as previous reports, can be found on the division’s current projects page at: <br />http://www.eugene- <br />or.gov/portal/server.pt?space=CommunityPage&ca <br />ched=true&parentname=CommunityPage&parentid <br />=0&in_hi_userid=2&control=SetCommunity&Com <br />munityID=210&PageID=723 <br /> <br />The status report provides an update on the <br />progress of major capital projects under the <br />divisions management. With the completion of a <br />= <br />series of high-profile projects, this report reflects <br />the type of building preservation and maintenance <br />projects that make up the majority of the Facility <br />Management Division’s projects. While the <br />projects in this status report make up a small <br />proportion of the roughly sixty active design and <br />construction projects currently being managed by <br />Facilities staff, they represent either the higher budgeted projects or projects with significant public <br />interest.

This work was <br />performed in exchange for an easement from the Bethel <br />School District for wetland mitigation along the Greenhill <br />Tributary. 2G Construction, Inc. constructed the path for <br />approximately $42,000. The funding was a mix of stormwater <br />and transportation SDCs. <br /> <br />The path provides a smooth surface and safe route for <br />neighborhood children traveling to and from school as an <br />alternative to Royal Avenue and Terry Street. Upon opening, <br />shouts of “cool” and “awesome” were heard from children <br />riding their bikes along the new path. One user said further, <br />“It’s nice to be able to get to the school and other paths <br />without using the busy street.” For more information, contact Project Manager Jenifer Willer at 682-5364 <br />or Jenifer.m.willer@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />August 3, 2006 <br />
