<br /> <br />What can we influence? <br />There are many ways that the City of Eugene, LTD, school districts, residents and business <br />owners can influence neighborhood walkability. Each area will require a different approach that <br />will be unique to each neighborhood. Some areas of the south hills, for example, are difficult to <br />walk because of the prevalence of steep slopes. Other areas are “cooler” on the map because <br />they are large residential areas filled with homes and apartments but lacking the stores and <br />services that may encourage walking. If residents are seeking walkability near their homes, <br />these qualities can be changed over time through zoning changes, transportation investments, <br />business investments, and many other tools. Some factors, like sidewalk coverage, can be <br />influenced by public policy and investments, while others like the locating of a school, happen <br />rarely and are influenced by a wide variety of factors. <br />To see a full list of steps that can be taken to increase the number and distribution of 20-minute <br />neighborhoods, go to appendix 1: The 20-minute Neighborhood Toolkit. <br /> <br />FOR MORE INFORMATION: <br />Complete maps and descriptions are available online at: <br />www.eugene-or.gov/twentyminuteneighborhood or contact Matt McRae at (541) 682-5649 or <br />matt.a.mcrae@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br /> <br />Page | 7 <br /> <br />
