With the help of University of Oregon journalism student Sophie Lawhead, Envision Eugene staff created <br />two on-line videos that highlight information that was shared at recent Envision Eugene events. <br /> <br />The first video provides an overview of the October open <br />house and map room that was held at the Downtown Library. <br />Over 150 people attended the event that included seven <br />information stations on key Envision Eugene topics including <br />transportation, mixed-use development, economic <br />development, Eugene’s Climate & Energy Action Plan, <br />neighborhoods and housing, and the urban growth boundary. <br /> <br />The second video lets viewers travel along with the <br />Community Resource Group on its redevelopment bus tour of <br />Eugene to see firsthand areas that have been identified as <br />opportunities for redevelopment. The tour highlights <br />successful redevelopment projects like Oakway Center and <br />downtown’s Centre Court building. It also looks at opportunity <br />areas for redevelopment including transit corridors like Coburg <br />th <br />Road, West 11 Avenue and Franklin Boulevard. <br /> <br />The videos have been posted on YouTube and on the City’s website, www.EnvisionEugene.org.
