Cars fly by on Franklin Boulevard, whooshing through Glenwood, some occasionally honking in support of the dozen demonstrators in front of Camp Putt Adventure Golf Park on April 11. The demonstrators are Glenwood residents, some property owners, some renters, holding signs that say “Parks not hotels” and “Rivers over profit.”
Just a few hundred steps away is the site of a potential 20-story hotel complex that would occupy Willamette riverfront property, across from Island Park. The residents say they’re upset the current proposals could impact their neighborhood and the Willamette River and the city of Springfield hadn’t informed them about the projects, either.

LANE COUNTY, Ore. A private contractor doing excavation work in downtown Eugene severed critical infrastructure that supports Lane County government’s phone system on Sunday.
As a result, service to nearly all Lane County government phones and fax machines is currently unavailable.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office has activated the backup system for dispatch. Rural residents’ ability to contact emergency services via 911 is unaffected. The business lines for the sheriff’s office dispatch center also remain available.
