The Great Eugene Cleanup

admin — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:40:52 +0000

The Register Guard recently reported that the State of Oregon has given Eugene approximately $200k to clean up the city in advance of the Olympic Trials.

This has been fantastic, and has discouraged graffiti “artists” from polluting sidewalks and signs in parks. It has also impacted Eugene citizens’ perception of their city, and city leadership. Temporarily at least.

All for $200k. I encourage the City of Eugene to make this type of cleanup a long term commitment. Part of a long term plan to renew the city. For all the millions being spent on wooded acreage that the elite 5% of the city uses (and a good thing it’s not all residents, or it would fall to ruin), the city could take a small % of those city/county/state $ each year and maintain the resources closest to residents.

Thank you Olympic Committee and the State of Oregon!

There is already a shortage of hotel rooms for the Olympic Trials in 2008. Many hotels are sold out. See below for aggregated listings from Craigslist. So you don’t have to dig for it.

Three bedroom home with 3 double beds, two couches, and plenty of floor space available for the Olympic Trials. Fully equipped kitchen, new floors, and fenced large yard. My home is in the south hills of Eugene, 10-15 minutes from Hayward field. I would like $375 per day with a $250 refundable deposit. Dogs are fine with an additional $150 deposit. Available June 26 through July 7. My home is in a quiet cul-de-sac with a wonderful view. Call Darcy Weinshienk at (541)343-7719 or contact my email at weinshienk3883@comcast.net.
