LTD is entering the construction phase
for the West Eugene EmX project.
LTD and Friends of Trees volunteers
planted more than 50 new street trees.
LTD is entering the construction phase
for the West Eugene EmX project.
Preparation will ramp up during winter
and road construction will begin in spring.
This approach will condense road work in
drier months and minimize costs. Utility
relocation will continue and crews will
remove trees where the roadways will
be widened. As winter weather allows,
crews will begin modernizing hundreds of
sidewalk curb ramps along the route.
The December 6 event was part of the
West Eugene EmX landscape plan that will
plant more trees than are removed for road
widening. This will increase the number of
trees along the West Eugene EmX corridor,
offer greater diversity, and give the trees
more room to grow in better soil conditions.
The event took place near West 6th and 7th
Avenues between Chambers and Lincoln
Streets in Eugene. Participants included
residents from the Jefferson Westside and
Whiteaker neighborhoods, City of Eugene
employees, LTD board members and staff,
and other Friends of Trees supporters.
LTD anticipates the West Eugene EmX
corridor will open to the public in 2017,
extending fast and frequent EmX
service from downtown Eugene to west
Eugene, and connecting with the EmX
service to downtown Springfield and the
Gateway area.
For more information, visit weemx.ltd.org.
We invite you to contact Friends of Trees at
541-632-3683 or go to friendsoftrees.org
to join in their other planting events.
