Park Watch – How to Report a Problem

Posted on February 8, 2019 by Gary Haliski
City of Eugene Park Watch logo.

As we reviewed our 2018 accomplishments at our February 7 SCCO meeting, there was mention of problems at our new off leash dog park at Lone Oak Park. It appears things have improved, but there is still work to be done.

We want you to know there is an easy way to report park problems to the city. Just go the the Park Watch website. You will find a drop down menu with over 25 issues to choose from, including:
– Illegal Camping
– Safety Issues
– Trash
– Vandalism
– Graffiti

You then choose the park with the issue. Then you can place a ‘pin’ on the exact location in the park where the issue exists.

Park Watch has been used for both Lone Oak Park and Awbrey Park. The city usually responds quickly.

Please note that if you have an emergency or you are observing a crime in progress, please call 911.

There is also a document with proposed plans for the section of Beltline from the Willamette River to River Road.  You can find the document here.

LTD Update – Open House, Feb 12

Posted on February 5, 2019 by Gary Haliski

Transit Tomorrow Community Open House

February 12th, 2019 11:00am  – 2:00pm
University of Oregon,
Erb Memorial Union, Room 023, Lease Crutcher Lewis
1395 University Street
Eugene, OR 97403

Last summer many of you participated in Lane Transit District’s outreach for the project — Transit Tomorrow: a comprehensive look at LTD’s service and operations. LTD was seeking input on what types of public transit service the community valued and where LTD should prioritize resources to provide service.

The LTD team reached out to riders, residents, business owners, non-profit organizations, city leaders and others through tabling events, forums, listening sessions and an online open house (a survey).

LTD used what was heard from the public last summer to create four distinct transit system alternatives that asked the following questions:

  • should LTD provide more frequent public transit along major corridors or should LTD provide service to a broader area of the community?        
  • should LTD lower fares for everyone or provide more service on weekends and in the evenings?

The public’s answers to these two questions helped create four possible scenarios that demonstrate how transit service could change in the near future. Currently LTD is seeking a second round of input. This is your opportunity to help LTD further define what transit service should look like in the community. To provide feedback you can participate in an online open house attend one of multiple tabling events at either the Springfield station or the Eugene station, or attend a public presentation about the Scenarios Report held at the University of Oregon. For detailed information on dates and times, or to participate in the online open house visit or online survey visit:
