Pavement Preservation Program <br />Manager Jenifer Willer and Street Repair Review <br />Panel member Sue Wolling explain some of the <br />innovative processes Eugene has used to fix <br />streets and improve the environment, all while <br />exceeding expectations for project delivery. <br /> <br />Working City is financed with Eugene’s telecom <br />funds and is produced as a public service through <br />a joint effort involving City staff and Metro <br />Television. The “Street Repair Progress” video can be viewed on the City’s video web page or by going directly to <br />http://vimeo.com/76359855. It also airs on Comcast Cable channel 21 (check the Metro TV schedule for times).
