Climate-Friendly Areas Info Session

By the end of 2024, City Council will provide direction on where to designate Climate-Friendly Areas across Eugene. A Climate-Friendly Area (CFA) is intended to be an area where most people can meet their daily needs without relying on a car. They are envisioned as mixed-use centers with high-density housing, jobs, and services, as well as great walking, biking, and transit infrastructure.

Wednesday, August 21 | 12:00 – 1:00 PM | Zoom Webinar
Can’t make the info session? No worries, it will be recorded and posted to Engage Eugene.

The City’s community vision calls for focusing future growth and investment in and near mixed-use centers to increase access to essential goods and services for all residents. Mixed-use centers are intended to provide convenient access to daily needs, such as housing, jobs, groceries, parks, schools, and services. They also range in size and activity level, from downtown Eugene to smaller neighborhood centers.

Climate-Friendly Areas are a specific type of center, directed by state administrative rules, that will play a crucial role in reducing dependence on cars, lowering household transportation costs, and decreasing pollution by keeping goods and services close together and near housing. By strategically focusing on these centers, Eugene can become an even more thriving, lively, and inclusive city that meets the needs of all its residents.
