Bike questionnaires mailed
to aid state project planning
The State Highway Division is
seeking public assistance in the
planning of bicycle paths and
increasing bicycling safety.
The Division will be direct
mailing a questionnaire to
residents in the Eugene
Springfield area on a trial basis
with distribution scheduled to
begin on Jan. 22 and to continue
for approximately two weeks.
Two separate forms, one for
the occupants of homes and
apartments and the other for
dormitories, are being sent.
The questionnaire will seek
factual as well as opinion in
formation. Among the questions
to be asked are why you ride a
bike, how often for different types
of trips, and what your major
problem is in bike riding.
Efforts will be made to
r—
determine if a registration and
licensing is desired and, if yes,
how much to charge. In fur
therance of the registration and
licensing fee, answers are sought
as to how the money collected
should be spent. The survey will
also attempt to determine where
riders want new paths to be built.
No names will be used with
forms to be forwarded to “Oc
cupant” of 10,000 addresses. The
addresses have been selected at
random. A return-addressed,
postage-paid envelope will ac
company the survey material.
Co-operation of those receiving
the material is asked so that the
comprehensive information on
bikers’ needs can be obtained.

Bicycle Committee is presently

Fern Ridge questionnaire distributed
What leisure-time recreation is needed in the Eugene-Springfi eld
area and what water-related activities do local residents wish to be
developed? These are questions asked in a questionnaire being
distributed by the Portland U.S. Army Engineer District thi» week to
determine the needs and desires of people in the area for future
recreational development at Fern Ridge Lake.
Response to the questionnaire will provide information to be in
cluded in a Master Plan for Fern Ridge Lake, which is being prepared
by the Corps of Engineers under a contract with John Graham and
Company, Seattle-based architecture, engineering and planning firm.
More than one and one-quarter million visitors used water-related
recreation facilities at Fern Ridge Lake’s Zumwalt, Orchard Point
and Krugar parks in 1972. Other development on the shares of the lake
include two state parks, a water ski club, yacht club, and Boy Scout
and Girl Scout camps.
Free school plans changes next term
The Lane County Free University will begin its winter-spring
semester Feb. 19. Classes will continue through May.
This semester sees some change in the Free University. For the
first time instructors will be able to charge minimally for their ser
vices. Many courses will remain without charge to participants who
become members in the school for $3.50. A Lane County Free
University Membership Card entitles one to take courses as well as
receive discounts on admission to community concerts, films and
other activities. This semester the catalogue will again feature a
community resources section in addition to our class listings.
The people who offer courses believe that they have found
something that has made their lives more meaningful. They wish to
augment that meaning by sharing their information or airill with
others, or else to examine the position they have discovered by sub
jecting their views to the criticism of others.
The Free University is now encouraging people to offer courses in
the arts, crafts household skills, philosophy, politics,
communications, and other areas. *
Course descriptions are due Feb. 1. Mail to : Lane County Free
