Copies of the packet materials and other information are available online at <br /> www.ci.eug ne.or.us/pw/crest. <br /> A k y question in the discussion around street classification in the Crest Drive area is <br /> whether so a streets should be designed as "neighborhood collectors." The outreach effort is <br /> being coor inated by the Eugene Public Works Engineering Division to ensure the Eugene City <br /> Council rec fives broad, representative input in the decision-making process and that citizens, <br /> particularly those who feel they have the greatest stake in the outcome, receive clear and <br /> accurate in ormation on the impacts of street classification decisions. The Council is scheduled <br /> to consider street classifications in the Crest Drive area at a work session on October 25. <br /> For more information, contact Gary McNeel in Public Works Engineering at 682-8451 or <br /> by email at gary.a.mcneel@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> Publi Works • Administration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl Street • Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> Phone: (541) 682-5262 • FAX: (541) 682-6826 • vwvw.ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br />
