Recently, new bike share systems such as Citi Bike in New York City and other successful <br />systems such as Capital Bike Share in Washington, D.C., have been making headlines and generating <br />enthusiasm for bike share in smaller communities throughout the United States. <br />The City of Eugene and Lane Transit District have contracted Toole Design Group to prepare <br />a feasibility study for developing a bike share system in Eugene. The open house will provide an <br />opportunity to engage in a conversation about bike share with national experts and increase <br />understanding of bike share and its potential in the Eugene area. <br />For more information on the feasibility study, visit www.eugene-or.gov/bikeshare. People <br />who cannot attend the meeting are asked to consider taking a short survey or suggest locations for <br />bike share stations. For additional information, contact Reed Dunbar, associate transportation <br />planner, at 541-682-5727. <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
