Between 2020 and 2024, red\u2011light running and speeding contributed to 81 fatal and serious injury crashes in Eugene. As part of the work to improve safety on Eugene streets, the City has begun exploring a program to use intersection safety cameras at a small number of high-crash intersections. The additional enforcement provided by intersection safety cameras could help reduce these dangerous driving behaviors and improve overall street safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cameras are one of several tools identified in the City\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eugene-or.gov\/DocumentCenter\/View\/83191\/Eugene-Vision-Zero-Action-Plan-2026-Update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vision Zero Action Plan<\/a> to help eliminate serious and fatal crashes. Additionally, cities in Oregon can use cameras to ticket drivers who run red lights or who speed 11 mph or more over the speed limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timeline and funding for installing cameras is not set, and staff want to discuss concerns and perspectives with both the city council and the broader community. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/eug_safetycameras\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">project survey<\/a> is now live, and frequently asked questions are available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/engage.eugene-or.gov\/intersection-safety-cameras\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">project webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eugene Renter Survey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renters in Eugene will soon receive a postcard in the mail inviting them to participate in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eugene-or.gov\/5180\/Rental-Experience-Survey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">survey about their rental experience<\/a> in Eugene. Survey participants may enter to win one of five $200 gift cards to a grocery store of their choice, and their responses\u202fwill inform the Rental Housing Program and help the City evaluate services that support rental housing in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The City\u2019s Rental Housing Program conducts the Rental Experience Survey (RES) every three years to help inform the Rental Housing Program and help the City evaluate policies and services that support rental housing in our community. Two separate surveys are conducted: one for Rental Property Owners\/Managers and the other for Eugene Renters\/Tenants. Survey topics included renter and landlord demographics, property management practices, rental housing characteristics, challenging experiences, concerns, future housing plans, and rental property conversions and sales. Results will be used to track changes in rental experiences over time and to supplement other rental housing data collection efforts.&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eugene-or.gov\/m\/newsflash\/home\/detail\/7558\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More on Rental Experience Reports and Current Renter Survey<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about the City&#8217;s Rental Housing Program, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/eugenerentalprogram.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eugenerentalprogram.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alton Baker Park Plan Update \u2013 Your Input Needed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The City of Eugene is updating the 20-year plan for the park.
