Eugene
City Public Works crews made progress on priority road treatment while also addressing scores of tree hazards, officials said
Eugene, OR – According to the city officials, because many roads have a thick layer of hard ice that can’t be fully mitigated with plowing, de-icing and sanding, residents are reminded to avoid driving.
Additionally, some steep or hilly streets are not navigable by City vehicles.
Crews expected additional damage to trees as the weight of ice accumulates.
Public Works staff were in the field addressing hazard trees.
Anyone who sees a tree or tree limb down on a road or in a median should call 541-682-4800.
Please include details on how big the hazard is, where it is and how many lanes of traffic it is blocking.
Urban Forestry teams are working closely with EWEB, as some downed powerlines are tangled with trees and vice versa.
