EUGENE, Ore. – Eugene closed the North Bank Path on Tuesday to allow crews to clear homeless camps between the Valley River Center and Ferry Street Bridge.
The city acquired the stretch of property from the Oregon Department of Transportation in February, but has reportedly received complaints about garbage, pollution, behavior and camping issues along the riverbank for years.
Camping is not allowed in sensitive riparian areas.
The city said campers were notified on March 3 of the scheduled cleanup.
