Just recently ran across the snippet I tore off of the paper which has your information. I wanted to comment on the free/not free parking issue in downtown Eugene. I first moved here from upstate New York in 1980. I loved to spend time and shop in downtown Eugene until they started to make it difficult to park. I avoid downtown Eugene now that there is a fee to park. I don't believe opening the streets to traffic made it better either. For a very long time, I enjoyed taking classes through LCC. I do not attend classes in downtown Eugene. Unless I can find a friend to take a class at the same time, I won't be downtown at night looking to park in dark corners on rainy nights with the creeps that lurk down there. I did not feel this way years ago. At the very least parking should be free at Christmas time. I support free parking. Fee for parking killed my desire to spend time in downtown Eugene. It is just one more headache to deal with. Hello Don. Just recently ran across the snippet I tore off of the paper which has your information.
