River Road striping moves into daytime lanes
Rolling closures begin Monday between Irving/Hunsaker and Beltline.
River Road drivers should expect striping crews to take one lane at a time beginning Monday, November 2. KLCC identifies the work area as Irving/Hunsaker to Beltline.
Eugene's weekly advisory schedules striping from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Wednesday, with Thursday held as a possibility. All directions remain open. Unlike much of the corridor's construction, this work needs daylight: the striping material requires temperatures of at least 50 degrees.
Field notes
What changed: The project enters its daytime striping phase Monday.
Why it matters: Midday trips may encounter rolling lane restrictions.
Who may be affected: River Road drivers, cyclists and nearby businesses.
Yard-debris burning closes in three Lane County urban areas
The restriction covers Eugene, Springfield and Oakridge and their urban growth boundaries.
Fall yard-debris burning is closed in Eugene, Springfield and Oakridge and their urban growth boundaries, LRAPA's website confirms. KLCC reports that the seasonal closure began Saturday, October 31.
That is not a countywide permission or prohibition. Residents elsewhere in Lane County should check LRAPA's local burning rules before lighting a debris fire; the information line is 541-736-1056.
Field notes
What changed: The fall burning window has closed in the three urban areas.
Why it matters: A yard cleanup fire may no longer be permitted.
Who may be affected: Residents considering outdoor debris burning.
