> Citizens Seek Collaborative Solutions For West Eugene
>  
> What can people accomplish when they put differences behind them and look for solutions together? Over a year ago, business, environment, government and community leaders came together to attempt just that. Calling themselves the West Eugene Collaborative, they have taken a fresh look at these longstanding problems and discovered many areas of agreement.
>  
> In advance of specific recommendations, a few things are clear. Traffic problems aren> '> t limited to just west Eugene but extend along Highway 126 all the way to Veneta and beyond, and all jurisdictions must work together in solving them. 
>  
> We can only be successful at getting major transportation projects approved and funded when they enjoy broad support. Thus it makes sense to follow a collaborative approach that aims to bring different perspectives to the table from the start.
>  
> Before developing recommendations, the West Eugene Collaborative would like to hear from people throughout our community:  What are your concerns? What are your ideas for solutions? The public is invited to attend any of a series of four public forums:
