West University Task Force Final Report June 2003 On May 10, a neighborhood clean-up day was held. The day included a tree planting by President Dave-Fwhnmayer and Mayor Sim Torrey, as well as participation from residents, the task force members, property and business owners. The task force hopes that commllnity involvement projects such as the neighborhood clean-up can become an annual event. To assist in providing for better lighting in the area, staff requested funding through the Community Development Block Grant to add thi~ecn new lighting fixtures along 14t~ Street. The request, in the amount of $42,250, was approved and the project is scheduled to be completed during the next fiscal year. There has been much energy, enthusiasm, and interest in creating positive change in the West University Neighborhood demonstrated over the course of the task force's work. Mechanisms need to put in place to continue this work after the task force'disbands. Further, the West University Task Force recommends that the decision makers, University of. Oregon President Dave Frohnmayer and Eugene City Council, direct staff to further scope the short and long-term solutions and return with proposals for implementation.
