The City of Eugene Transportation Planning <br />Office has received a number of positive, unsolicited comments from the community about how great the second <br />Eugene Sunday Streets was for everyone. Based on <br />estimates, approximately 3,035 community members <br />participated this year. That’s over 1,000 more people than <br />last year. <br /> <br />These types of events are increasing in popularity in the <br />community. People of all ages walked, rolled, skated and <br />danced along the route, including Mayor Kitty Piercy and <br />Slug Queen Sadie Slimy Stitches. Activity centers at <br />Amazon, University and Washburne parks were bustling <br />with live music, circus art classes, yoga, dancing and fun. <br /> <br />As a result of all of the positive comments, the City will <br />seek funding to feature two Eugene Sunday Streets <br />events in the summer of 2013. <br /> <br />City staff is collecting feedback from the participants, businesses and residents along the route and the 200 volunteers <br />who helped put on the event. All participants are encouraged to take an online survey at www.eugene- <br />or.gov/esssurvey. <br /> <br />For more information, please contact Lindsay Selser at 541-682-5094 or sundaystreets@ci.eugene.or.us, or visit <br />www.eugenesundaystreets.org. <br /> <br />Recreation’s Outdoor Program Hosts Family Walks <br />On Oct. 5 and 6, Recreation’s Outdoor Program will guide families on free walks in <br />natural areas around Eugene.
