To arrange a visit to the center, located in the M.Jacobs Plaza <br /> at 61 West Eighth Avenue, call 687-5218. <br /> The City of Eugene opened the center in October to provide information to the public <br /> about various options for the Ferry Street Bridge. Models, maps, and other information are <br /> available to help people understand four alternatives that have been studied to address <br /> current problems and future traffic growth in the Ferry Street Bridge corridor. The <br /> alternatives range from a no-build scenario to proposals which include a new six-lane or <br /> eight-lane bridge, plus potential new routes across the Willamette River. <br /> In November, the Eugene City Council held a public hearing on the alternatives. The <br /> council reviewed the public comments in early December and asked staff to provide <br /> additional information for a continued discussion in January. Any final decisions are likely <br /> to be referred to local voters. <br /> <br />
