Community Climate and Energy Action Plan Endorsed by City Council

On Wednesday, September 15, Eugene City Council unanimously endorsed Eugene’s first
Community Climate and Energy Action Plan with the following goals:

1. Reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions 10 percent below 1990 levels by

2020 and 75 percent by 2050.
2. Reduce community-wide fossil fuel use 50 percent by 2030.
3. Identify strategies that will help the community adapt to a changing climate and
increasing fossil fuel prices.

The plan contains several pedestrian and bicycle related recommendations including:

• Create 20-minute neighborhoods, where 90 percent of Eugene residents can safely walk
or bicycle to meet most basic, daily, non-work needs, and have safe pedestrian and
bicycle routes that connect to mass transit.
• Create a “Complete Streets” policy that requires all subsequent transportation and
rehabilitation projects to incorporate infrastructure for bicycles, pedestrians, and mass
transit service.
• Increase the mileage and connectivity of bicycle boulevards and shared-use paths to
encourage biking by cyclists of various skill levels.
• Increase promotion of bicycling, walking, mass transit, car-pooling, and telecommuting,
as attractive alternatives to driving.

You can find Eugene’s Community Climate and Energy Action Plan online here or contact
Sustainability Liaison, Babe O’Sullivan at (541) 682-5017.

PUBLIC INPUT OPPORTUNITIES

Envision Eugene Project Update

Envision Eugene has been involving community members in the
conversation about how we grow since spring 2010. Three public
workshops were held in May and June, and the website,
www.envisioneugene.org, has all meeting materials and other
relevant information. Over the summer, project momentum continued with the assistance of the
Community Resource Group, including representatives from seven neighborhoods (Cal Young
Neighborhood Association, Friendly Area Neighbors, Jefferson Westside Neighbors, River Road
Community Organization, Santa Clara Community Organization, South East Neighbors, and
South University Neighborhood Association).

Now is the time for broader neighborhood involvement. We would like to encourage
neighborhoods to participate in the mapping exercise described below, and to submit their
ideas, comments and maps to help inform the creation of a draft plan for how Eugene will
accommodate growth. The draft plan will be refined through community input and acted upon
early next year by the City Council. Your input will influence the draft plan for how Eugene will
accommodate growth.

• Working on a city or neighborhood map, answer the following questions. You can write
out your answers or use stickers and notes placed on the map:
o What are the places you cherish in Eugene?
 o Where are the developments that you like, and of which you would like to see
more?
o Where are the opportunities for more jobs, housing, and services?
• Neighborhoods can do this exercise independently, and provide their feedback directly
to City staff, or we can provide staff for neighborhoods who would like assistance. The
city-wide map is available at www.envisioneugene.org in the Community Group
documents folder. To obtain a portion of the map scaled for your neighborhood, contact
Terri Harding at terri.l.harding@ci.eugene.or.us.

LTD Long Range Plan Workshop – October 11

During the forty years that LTD has served our community, public transportation has helped
Lane County’s communities stay livable as they grow. As our communities – and world –
change, transit will be even more important. LTD is beginning work on a plan that will guide our
transit investments over the next twenty to thirty years.

LTD is first considering what policies, demographic changes, and economic factors will shape
the kind of transit service we should expect to see in the future. We need your help to identify
these factors. Some preliminary ideas include:

• Uncertain Gas Prices

• Uncertain Public Funding
• Growing Community of Older Adults Dependent on Transit Service
• Climate Change
• Your Ideas!

JOIN US for a public workshop where we will talk about how to plan for the future of transit in
the communities that Lane Transit District (LTD) serves!
