Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 25th of June.
Good morning, Eugene.
A 74-year-old Eugene woman with memory issues—reported missing Tuesday from the 3300 block of Bentley—was found safe in Washington state, police said.
Southbound Laura Street in Springfield was closed on June 24 and will remain so until August 31 for utility relocations, storm system upgrades, paving, and sidewalk work — drivers are advised to use Pioneer Parkway as an alternate route and note that access from Lindale Drive is also closed.
The City of Eugene approved a new two-year budget Monday night that saves services like the public library and park maintenance by raising an 18% stormwater fee expected to bring in $4.7 million annually—though cuts and job vacancies remain unsettled.
The budget takes effect on July 1 and a meeting to discuss the proposed fire service fee is set for July 16 at noon—city officials say securing long-term funding still requires further work.
