Good morning, Eugene. Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 12th of July.
COMMUNITY NEWS
- ➤ South Eugene residents are asking the city to close the eight pickleball courts at Westmoreland Park because the constant loud noise disrupts nearby homes on a daily basis. Although HWS Law Group sent a cease and desist letter on June 18 on behalf of five neighbors, over 500 people signed a petition to keep the courts open as city officials continue evaluating soundproofing options — including a planned facility at Lane Community College next spring.
