Moving Life Forward…2007 Public Works Day <br />More than 1,000 schoolchildren and their adult guests will visit the Public Works Maintenance Yard on <br />Thursday, May 17. They will be taking part in the City of Eugene Public Works Day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. <br />at 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard. Councilors are cordially invited to attend. <br />Public Works employees, joined by Mayor Kitty Piercy, will be leading the <br />kids on tours featuring all areas of the Public Works Department. One of <br />the favorite areas is the Equipment Rodeo - a “big wow” for the kids. <br />Their eyes light up when they get to sit in the cab of a backhoe or pretend <br />they’re driving a street sweeper. <br />Some of the other highlights of this year’s event include Tiny Park <br />(showcasing Eugene’s parks and open spaces, with Nearby Nature <br />critters), Water World (a look at the City’s stormwater and wastewater <br />programs in action, with Lyle and Lily the frogs), and emergency and <br />public safety operations, including a visit from McGruff the Crime Dog. <br />Public Works Day is a great time to consider all the different kinds of work being done to keep the City of <br />Eugene running smoothly … as seen through the eyes of a child! For more information, contact Eric <br />Jones, Public Works public affairs manager, at 682-5523. <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />May 10, 2007 <br />
