 <br /> A set of criteria that will be used to compare and contrast different ways of addressing anticipated <br />transportation problems. <br /> <br />The TCRG meeting will be in the Eugene Library’s Bascom-Tykeson Room, from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. The public is <br />invited to comment on all phases of Eugene’s transportation system plan (TSP) and attend the TCRG meetings. All <br />the transportation planning materials are available online at www.EugeneTSP.org. <br /> <br />The next phase of work, which will take about a year to complete, will compare, sort, and bundle projects and <br />programs into the set that best meets goals and objectives within predicted funding abilities. After more public review, <br />the results will be packaged for adoption. The transportation plan is being coordinated with Envision Eugene, Lane <br />Transit District’s Long-Range Transit Plan, the Eugene Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan and other plans. <br /> <br />For more information about the transportation system plan or the community forums, please contact Senior <br />Transportation Planner Kurt Yeiter at 541-682-8379 or visit the project website at www.EugeneTSP.org. <br /> <br />th <br />Celebrating Oregon Day of Culture and the Hult Center’s 30 Birthday <br />Mayor Piercy joins a state-wide celebration by declaring Friday, Oct. 5, 2012, as Oregon Day of Culture. Please join <br />the Mayor on Friday, Oct. 5, at 6:30 p.m., in Broadway Plaza where she’ll make her proclamation during this month’s <br />First Friday ArtWalk. Following the Mayor’s proclamation, Cultural Services <br />is presenting a photo projection on a large screen in Broadway Plaza until <br />8 p.m. <br /> <br />The Hult Center for the Performing Arts opened 30 years ago on Sept. 24, <br />1982. What a great, magical moment for the city and what wonderful <br />th <br />memories from the first 30 years! In honor of its 30 birthday, the Hult <br />Center is celebrating by proudly sponsoring the October Lane Arts <br />Council’s First Friday ArtWalk and partnering with Oakshire Brewing <br />Company for a special brew appropriately named “Pearl Red.” (The pearl <br />th <br />is the gem of the 30 anniversary and the Hult Center is the jewel in <br />Eugene’s crown.) Enjoy this tasty Pacific Northwest red ale for the first time on Saturday, Oct. 13, at the Eugene Ballet <br />Company’s performance of Dark Side of the Moon, with live music by local band, the Floydian Slips. To further <br />celebrate, in November the Hult Center will install a real “post-it wall” in the lobby for everyone to share Memories, <br />th <br />Moments and Magic. The Hult is also partnering with King Estate Wineries for a special label Hult 30 Birthday Pinot <br />Noir - just in time for the holidays. <br /> <br />October is National Arts and Humanities Month. The Oregon Cultural Trust celebrates the role of the arts, humanities <br />and heritage in everyday life with Oregon Days of Culture, Oct. 1 - 8, 2011, and calls for Oregonians to participate and <br />give to Oregon culture on the anniversary of the innovative legislation - the Oregon Cultural Trust Tax Credit. In the 10 <br />years since the creation of the tax credit, the Cultural Trust has invested over $800,000 in Eugene’s arts, culture and <br />heritage nonprofits.

Frequently, <br />the Crime Prevention Unit forecasts areas of known property crime problems (high-density living, holiday shoppers in <br />parking lots) and deploys staff in hopes of limiting victimization before it <br />occurs. The flip-side of the flexible policing strategy is response to <br />problem areas as they develop, through deploying the appropriate <br />resources to curb an emerging crime trend. This responsive action is <br />based upon statistics provided about crimes that have just occurred and, <br />to be most successful, requires quick response. This flexible, reactive <br />response is exactly what the Crime Prevention Team is all about. <br /> <br />During a weekly planning meeting, staff learned of an area in West <br />Eugene that was reporting an increase in a range of property crimes. <br />The next day, Crime Prevention Team members had developed a plan <br />to notify neighborhood residents of the crime increase and provide them <br />with usable information they could implement to make their property and <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />October 4, 2012 <br />
