LED Traffic Signal Conversion Pays Off <br /> Last fall, the City entered into an energy-saving agreement with EWEB to change Eugene's incandescent green traffic <br /> signal indicators to LEDs (light emitting diodes). The changeover has been completed slightly ahead of schedule, and <br /> -WEB has forwarded a check for $194,843, the incentive offered as part of the agreement. <br /> More than 1,500 indicators were changed at all of the City's 223 traffic signals. Each green LED uses more than 100 watts <br /> less in electrical power than an incandescent signal bulb. Several years ago, before green LEDs were cost-effective, the <br /> City changed all the red traffic signal indications to LEDs. For more information, contact Tom Larsen, co-AIC <br /> Transportation Division Director, at 682-8450. <br /> First Annual American-Russian Youth Art Awards <br /> The Eugene-Irkutsk Sister City Committee and Maude Kerns Art Center are pleased to invite you to The First Annual <br /> American-Russian Youth Art Awards Ceremony on Saturday, March 15, 2:00 -4:00 p.m. at the Art Center, 1910 E. 15th <br /> Avenue, Eugene.
