A City website, www.eugene-or.gov/downtown, includes additional <br />information about the West Broadway Redevelopment proposal. <br /> <br />First Friday Artwalk Includes Information on Broadway Brick Replacement <br />Replacing the failed brick work around the <br />Broadway Plaza will be the focus of a booth at <br />the First Friday Artwalk this Friday, August 3. <br />“The Art of Engineering” will provide specific <br />information about the repairs to Broadway at <br />Willamette Street as well as numerous <br />examples of aesthetic features included in <br />projects managed by the Public Works <br />Engineering Division. <br /> <br />When the brick plaza was constructed in 1996, Willamette Street was opened to vehicles but Broadway <br />remained a pedestrian-only street. As a result, the brick structures on Broadway are built differently than <br />those on Willamette Street. The existing bricks on Broadway are thin, “patio-style” bricks and are not <br />laterally braced, that is, there is no curb to restrict gradual “outward” movement of the bricks under load. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />August 7, 2007 <br />
