Eugene did a great job preparing for the influx of national and international visitors to Track Town USA. I particularly enjoyed the temporary two-way bike lane on High Street between 4th and 5th avenues that led directly to the new Riverfront Park. Perhaps it can become a permanent change? The short stretch includes nine street parking spaces and there is currently no bike lane in either direction along that section. Yet, there is a large parking lot. It’s a relatively small change that could reap pleasant rewards for Eugeneans, for visitors and for the environment.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
