More from the City of Eugene regarding Safety Needs:
The Eugene City Council wants to hear from community members about community safety needs as they finalize funding priorities for the Community Safety Payroll Tax. In addition to an online survey (open through March 31), Eugeneans can attend virtual meetings this month to share their perspective on the Community Safety Initiative (CSI) strategy and approach. Both meetings will follow the same format, and will be recorded and available for viewing after their scheduled times to increase access to information:
Both meetings can be accessed at this link, and require the passcode CSI-2021
“We want to hear from our community through these public meetings and the survey, and our hope is that having a variety of ways in which people can participate will make it easier for our communities of color to share their perspectives,” said Kevin Alltucker, Community Safety Initiative Project Manager. “Hearing from communities of color on this issue is important at this critical moment in the community conversation around race, policing and public safety, and this effort will help to ensure the needs and priorities of undeserved members of our community are reflected in the Community Safety Initiative.”
The City is doing culturally specific outreach with a Spanish language version of the survey to our mono-lingual Spanish speaking community.
Results of the listening sessions, along with input from focus groups, public comment, and the survey will help inform the Council as it considers any adjustments to CSI funding. A summary report of the information collected will be submitted to Council for review and discussion at a work session currently scheduled for May 2021.

From the Safe Routes to School Program
We decided to postpone the Safe Streets Audit event. Here is the updated invitation from AARP, BEST and Safe Routes to School to your neighbors. Thank you!
Safe Streets for All Interactive Workshop Part Two at 10 -11:30 a.m., March 30th
In the time of COVID-19, we have grown accustomed to our world changing around us. With increased time spent at home, people are re-discovering their neighborhoods, and with schools and workplaces transitioning through stages of re-opening, it’s important to know how to document dangerous transportation conditions and how to take action to make your neighborhood streets safe.
Join BEST, AARP® Oregon, and Eugene-Springfield Safe Routes to School for the second event in our Safe Streets for All Workshop series. We will build on themes from the first event to learn how to compile walk audit information and share it with decision makers to help make our streets safe for all.
To get ready:
