  • Pre's Trail-Review
    The goal of this column is to describe a route/location, and let you know in my opinion if it’s all it’s cracked up to be. So if you have a favorite running route, let me know by contacting ORRC at [email protected] and I’ll give it a try. Pre’s Trail, Eugene, OR The trail forms a kind of figure eight, and if you run the full loop it’s a little over 4 miles around, although you can add an out and back portion near the I-5 overpass that extends it to almost 6 miles. And what I like most is that it’s all a nice soft surface (bark dust/chipped wood) so even though it’s a trail, it’s the kind of trail I like (not technical at all and wide enough to run side-by-side), and I could run on it forever. However, if dirt trails aren’t your cup of tea, there are sections of the trail that parallel bike paths so you have your choice of surface for some portions. The only thing you have to worry about if you run on the trails is getting your shoes cleaned up afterward. Is it a safe place to run? I ran this trail on a weekend morning, and there were so many people that I felt very comfortable in terms of safety. However, if I was running in the evening, or early morning, I’d probably feel more comfortable running with a friend, simply because it can feel a little isolated in some areas (particularly near the I-5 overpass).

  • Impact Report
    2015 –16 ERB MEMORIAL UNION IMPACT REPORT 1 Welcome to the new EMU After a decade of planning and nearly three years of construction, we proudly opened the doors to the new EMU last month. Literally thousands of people, from the student voters who approved project funding in 2012, to dozens of stakeholders involved in every step of devel- opment, have helped make our dream of a new student union a reality. Together, we’ve worked hard to create a building that meets the needs of our diverse campus and melds prominent building features with state of the art design. Now that early feedback is in, we think it’s safe to say that we’ve succeeded in creating a beautiful gathering place and a home for exceptional student experiences that will serve the University of Oregon for years to come. We’ve only been open for a short time, but it didn’t take long for students to discover a terrific new dining option, settle in to an out-of-the way study nook, or find their way back to a favorite program. I’ve had the pleasure of watching many first-time visitors explore our beautiful new spaces, and I am thrilled, humbled, and inspired to hear such great pride and enthusiasm in their comments. Although work on the 210,000 sq. ft. building will continue through next TABLE OF CONTENTS fall, we are delighted to be back in the Erb Memorial Union serving the UO campus and community as we have for the past 65 years. I want to 4 Facilities sincerely thank our UO students and stakeholders for your vision, support, and patience, and to invite you to visit and help celebrate our beautiful 8 Programs new EMU.

The decision overturned a ruling by City Planning Director Lisa Gardner, and it serves as vindication for the neighbors who have bat- tled to have more say in the arena project since the site was first targeted in 2003. “This should have been a conditional use permit process from day one,” said Jeff Nelson, former co-chair of the Fairmount Neighborhood Association. Nelson currently serves on the neighborhood association’s are- na subcommittee.
