Share your street name for one of three potential streets on the new downtown riverfront project.

Criteria 

To ensure that street names are relevant to Eugene and the new Downtown Riverfront neighborhood, suggestions must fall into one of three categories:

  • Community/Culture - From Kalapuyans to Bill Bowerman, choose a person, place, or thing that embodies Eugene.

  • Ecology/River - From our rivers to surrounding mountains and the valley we live in, ideas representing the ecology of Eugene are as abundant as our native plants.

  • Industry/Energy - There are major industries that are important to Eugene’s history and the energy of steam and water have played an important role on the riverfront site. While timber has historically been a large driver of our economy, agriculture and education have also played major roles and the technology community is steadily growing.
