Votes still being collected for
downtown plaza’s new name
■ FESTIVAL: The square’s
new look will be unveiled at a
grand reopening
By Jennifer Schmitt
Community Editor
The clock is ticking until the
grand reopening of the new pub
lic plaza downtown; Sunday,
Oct. 6 is the last day to vote on the
plaza’s new name.
Ballots are available at tables
set up throughout the downtown
area for anyone wanting to take
part in choosing a new name for
the plaza, which is located at
Broadway and Willamette Street.
Ballots contain six names as
possible choices: Celebration
Square, Skinner’s Crossing, Cen
ter of the Universe, Broadway
Plaza, Downtown Center Square
and Four Seasons Square.
The six names were chosen out
of more than 300 names nominat
ed by city residents earlier in the
year, said Russ Brink, executive
director of Downtown Eugene,
Inc.
“We received over 300 names
and our marketing team narrowed
it down to six they felt were the
gg
We aren ’t planning to make
the official announcement
until the Grand Reopening
Celebration.

most appropriate and fitting,”
Brink said.
There is also an option on the
ballot for people to write in their
own ideas for the new name.
“Right now it looks like we are
going to get a lot of write-ins
which will add to the time it takes
to count and record the votes,”
Brink said.
The tallied results will be pre
sented to the City Council on Oct.
16. The City Council will make
the final decision on the new
name for the plaza.
“The City Council could make
the decision as early as Oct. 16, if
they decide to take action at that
meeting,” Brink said. “But we
aren’t planning to make the offi
cial announcement until the
Grand Reopening Celebration.”
All construction on the street is
expected to be completed by Nov.
1. The only major construction
unfinished at this time is the
brickwork around the plaza, said
Bud DeSantis, project manager.
“We are concentrating on the
brickwork that is left in the inter
section on Broadway,” DeSantis
said. “We still have the sunburst
pattern to install in the plaza and
then in the street. Brickwork is the
major item left, the rest is just gen
eral cleanup.”
Traffic signals and street lights
still need to be installed on 8th
Avenue and 10th Avenue, and
trees still need to planted.
“It’s going to look like it’s all
done before [Nov. 1] but we need
curing time for the brickwork be
fore we turn traffic loose on it,”
DeSantis said. “But we will be
ready in time for the reopening.”
The reopening celebration is
scheduled for Nov. 1 and will in
clude activities such as ribbon
cuttings, speeches and a dance in
the evening.
“It’s just going to be like a mini
festival,” Brink said.
