FriendsofEugene

FriendsofEugene Friends of Eugene is a coalition of individuals and organizations who care about the future of Eugene. We wish to preserve these qualities.

We are a local non-profit land use, transportation, and environmental public interest watchdog group. We value the high quality of life that we enjoy here and believe that the small-town atmosphere and outstanding natural environment contribute greatly to the livability of our city. The unprecedented growth Eugene faces in the next few years could change forever the complexion of our town. Thus, w

e are at a critical point where planning and policy decisions made over the next few years will significantly shape the future character of our town. While we recognize that change is inevitable, we believe that growth management is essential to protect and preserve the qualities we value most. Good planning and sensible land use policies will provide benefits to Eugeneans far into the future. To accomplish this, we believe that citizens need to be actively involved in the process. We seek to encourage and facilitate citizen involvement in planning issues. We are dedicated to upholding and extending the fine tradition of comprehensive, long-range planning which was started in Oregon over 30 years ago, while adding our planet's most newly-recognized needs and our most up-to-date collective knowledge to the process.

What a great Eugene Weekly this week!! Really in-depth article on one of the scourges of Lane County rural land use...

“Dead Documents Open Doors to Developers“

Other great articles! And some pretty nice quotes, too, in that cover story...

‘Kevin Matthews, who is also running for East Lane County Commissioner, says that it “is sad to see the county board let special interests cheat the rules to make short-term profits.”

‘“It’s notable that two of the commissioners facing an election just got big contributions from the McDougals,” Matthews says. “It is a shame to see elected officials support their piratical land development behavior.”

‘“The fundamental question is administering land use fairly,” Matthews says. “If they want to change the rules that’s one thing, but to break down the rules through shady interpretations is a bad way to operate local governments.”’
