About this Website
Eugeneriverfront.com is a community resource maintained by Rowell Brokaw Architects. We hope the community will use it to track, review and offer input on the EWEB master plan design and process. You can review project materials, designs, and register for upcoming public events here. To review CAT meeting minutes or EWEB project materials generated prior to June 2009, please visit www.eweb.org/riverfront.
About the EWEB Riverfront Master Plan
The Eugene Water & Electric Board is creating a new master plan for its 27-acre riverfront property and plans to sell a large portion of the site after the Roosevelt Operations Center is completed in 2010. Rowell Brokaw Architects, based in downtown Eugene, is leading the master planning process.
The goal of this master planning process is to create a vibrant, active, multi-use “people place” along Eugene’s downtown riverfront. The master plan will develop the connection between downtown and the Willamette River, be sensitive to the environment, use sustainable design strategies, and propose ways to teach about our river, our history and our city.
To assist in the development of the master plan, EWEB’s Board and the Eugene City Council created a Community Advisory Team (CAT) composed of nine community members who bring different professional backgrounds and expertise to the project. The project will hold a series of four community events to gather public opinion to support the design process beginning this fall, beginning on September 30.
Rowell Brokaw Architects and the Community Advisory Team are available to speak at your organization's meetings and you may see us with displays around town. Please stop and talk with us! The design team will be working closely with the CAT and community to develop this vital downtown riverfront plan.
Minutes from the Community Advisory Team meetings and presentations to the CAT given prior to June 2009 are available on the EWEB website: http://www.eweb.org/riverfront.
