The ban is for areas south of 18th avenue and east of Agate Street.
Eugene Police Chief Chris Skinner recently told city leaders the department’s plans for the 4th of July.
He said the approach will be mostly educational.
“While we will seize illegal fireworks, there are still fireworks that are legal to possess, they’re just not legal to utilize in those banned areas,” Skinner said. “So we will not be seizing legal fireworks from people, we will just be educating people about their use and where you can and can’t use those.”
