South Willamette Street Improvement Plan

June 30 at 12:40 AM ·
Investments on South Willamette Street to improve function, safety, and pavement condition have been anticipated following the 2016 Pilot Study that added a center turn lane and bike lanes. The wait is over, with construction of the permanent street design scheduled to begin mid-July 2020!
While the 2016 Pilot Study updated the street configuration, the construction of the permanent project will make it even more comfortable for our community to safely walk, bike, bus, and drive in the South Willamette shopping district from 24th Avenue to 32nd Avenue. In addition to keeping the center turn lane and bike lanes striped in the pilot, the project will include:
-Street repaving and restriping to fix pavement condition
-Reconstructed, accessible driveways and corner curb ramps to improve business access
-Over 2000 feet of widened sidewalks to enhance the walking experience
-Pedestrian-scale lighting to increase visibility for all street users
-Pedestrian countdown timers at intersections to make crossing safer
-New traffic signal at 27th Ave. to make turning from Willamette Street safer
-47 trees planted throughout the corridor to make the shopping district more inviting
-New rain gardens to clean water runoff from city streets
-New conduit for communications (for future high-speed fiber) to support connectivity throughout the corridor

We are excited to highlight the work our local bike shops are doing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the next few days we'll share a bit from each local bike shop. Here's our fourth piece on Arriving By Bike™, located on Willamette St. at W 27th Ave.
In the past few weeks Arriving by Bike has seen a sometimes slower flow of customers and at the same time a steady, spaced demand for bicycle service and for accessories that make urban biking easier and more practical. Currently weekday evening closing time is one hour earlier at 6 pm and other hours remain the same (11am to 6pm Monday - Friday; 10am to 6pm Saturday; 12pm to 5pm Sunday). The staff at Arriving By Bike are glad that they are able to serve Eugene’s bicyclists and that bicycle service is considered an essential service for transportation purposes by the State of Oregon.
In order to maximize safety for customers and staff, the doors now remain open to avoid touching of the handles. In addition, touching of inventory is limited and proper social distancing is observed. Every bicycle that is brought in for service is cleaned and sanitized before work is begun. This adds to wait times for drop-in customers, so Arriving By Bike is taking contact information to let people know when they should return for their bike.
Recently, customers have focused on sturdy, all-purpose bikes with an emphasis on children’s sizes and continued interest in electric bikes. This may be due to Governor Brown’s order, which specifically allows running and biking (if done with careful social distancing practices). The shop has even seen doctors and food service workers who are seeking repairs so they can continue to bike to work. This local bike shop is working hard to keep their customers safe and mobile throughout this crisis. Please make a visit if you are in need of a new bicycle or a repair!

How do you lock your bike?
We love the different sizes and colors of u-locks offered by Kryptonite and Abus.
No matter the style of bike or what you're locking to- we stock all the lock options from u-locks, chains, cables, and wheel, saddle and part locks.
Pro tip: If you have quick-release wheels consider installing locking skewers to prevent theft.
New year, new look. We've got the reflectives to get you seen on your bike✨
Happy New Year's Eve, Eugene! We look forward to another year of supporting our community- and getting people on bikes for transportation and adventure.
Thank you for supporting us through 2020!
