Willamette to Willamette: Connecting Downtown to the River |
As part of the 2004 Downtown Plan for the City of Eugene, community members identified 8th Avenue (from Willamette Street to the Willamette River) as a “great street.” As described in the Plan, "Great streets are places people choose to walk along and return to," they are streets that:
- connect special places;
- are safe, convenient and interesting;
- are pedestrian-oriented;
- have retail and other active ground floor uses; and
- accommodate bicycles, slow-moving vehicle traffic, and emergency vehicles.

It’s been 11 years and we'd like to know what you think. Responses are being collected and used to guide the Willamette to Willamette plan for improving the connection between Downtown and the River.
