EUGENE, Ore. – In an effort to provide space for a ballooning homeless population, Eugene City Councilors are moving forward with plans to relocate homeless campers out of city parks and streets to designated lots with access to services.
During a city council meeting Monday, councilors voted unanimously to hold a public hearing on April 26 about a new ordinance. The proposed ordinance would allow for the temporary establishment of “safe parking” and “safe tent” sites that could provide options for individuals to legally park their vehicles or sleep in tents. The city said the sites would have a bigger capacity than otherwise allowed under current city code.
