<br />Oct. 14 Open House <br />News Release – <br />October 8, 2010 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />“Even though there were fewer people employed in 2009 compared to the prior <br />years, the percentage of bike commuters increased quite a bit,” said David Roth, a <br />member of the Transportation Planning team. <br />Roth also noted that at 10.8% Eugene is one of the top cities in the nation for <br />bicycle commuting, and often competes with Boulder, Colorado, in ridership ratings. “I <br />was hoping we had them beat, but it appears they saw even larger gains than us with a <br />2009 bike commute mode share of 12.3%,” Roth said. <br />Yet another opportunity to get involved in bicycle and pedestrian design is a <br />“Transportation Remix” on Friday, October 22, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Oregon Electric <br />Station, 27 E. Fifth Avenue. The panel of speakers includes Edward Fischer, former <br />ODOT State Traffic Engineer; Jessica Roberts, Alta Planning and Design; and Hugh <br />Prichard, retired developer and real estate broker. The panel will be moderated by <br />Sheila Lyons, the ODOT Pedestrian and Bicycle Program Manager. <br /> <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Administration ● City of Eugene ● 101 E.
