The Eugene City Council meets next Monday, July 17 to discuss the UGB proposal and make a decision on UGB adoption. The Lane County Board of Commissioners will meet on August 8th. Testimony heard at the public hearing and submitted in writing will be considered at these deliberations, as will the technical documents that support the proposal. While there is no opportunity for public comment at these meetings, all are welcome to attend. The July 17th meeting materials, including a staff memo on the issues raised in the testimony and by elected officials, are available online.

All summer long, your Eugene Planners will be at party in the parks, Sunday Streets and other community events across the city. We are hoping to connect with you in a fun, relaxed environment where we can answer any questions you might have about Envision Eugene and implementing our community vision. Come have a chat with us about how we are working to make Eugene a more livable and sustainable city, balancing the seven pillars of Envision Eugene. We will be at the following events next week:

We are planning on attending more than a dozen events this summer, so we are sure to be in a location near you before the middle of September. Stay tuned!

A safe, welcoming and vibrant downtown is an important part of our community vision. All summer long a variety city departments and community partners are working together to make this vision a reality. Implementing our vision takes actions big and small. Here is an example of something small the City has done to bring more life to our downtown streets.
