High Street Protected Bike Lane Open House
In June, there will be an open house to see exhibits and discuss design options for continuing the River to Ridges Bikeway through downtown. The River to Ridges Bikeway includes both on-street and off-street bicycling facilities that people riding bikes can use to travel from the Ridgeline Trail in South Eugene to the Riverbank Path along the Willamette River. This meeting will focus on the north segment of the bikeway from 19th Avenue to 4th Avenue on High Street. Early planning calls for a two-way protected bike lane on the west side of High Street to replicate the comfort and social aspects of riding on a shared use path.
The meeting will be held on Thursday, June 28th at the Eugene Garden Club (1645 High Street, Eugene) starting at 5:30 PM. Drop by any time between 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM to talk with staff and to learn more about the High Street project and the River to Ridges vision. If you cannot make the meeting and want to provide comments you can take an online survey. Opens a New Window. .
