The Eugene City Council recently formally designated the <br /> new street s Shelton McMurphey Blvd in recognition of two families who had lived in the <br /> <br /> II <br /> historic ho a now called the Shelton-McMurphey-Johnson House. <br /> Pu lic Works staff will install new street name signs at both ends of the boulevard in <br /> early June. Meanwhile, the stop sign configurations at both ends of the new street have been <br /> changed t provide greater safety. On the east end, the intersection of Shelton McMurphey <br /> Boulevard, Pearl Street and Fourth Avenue has been modified as an all-way stop. On the west <br /> end, the st p signs have been changed so north-south traffic on Lincoln Street stops and east- <br /> west traffic on Shelton McMurphey Boulevard/Third Avenue has the right of way. <br /> <br /> ~ <br /> Publ c Works • Administration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl Street • Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> Phone: (541) 682-5262 • FAX: (541) 682-6826 • www.ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br />
