Question: How did Lancelot Lake, in Lane County a
few miles southwest of the South Sister, get its name?
Answer: Along with nearby Camelot Lake, it was named by Ray Engels of the U.S. Forest Service “because of a fancied resemblance to the terrain of an oldtime jousting field.” This, according to Oregon Geographic Names.
Question: Do skateboards have any legal status on Eugene streets? Am I supposed to treat them like bicyclists or pedestrians or cars?
Answer: Legally, they are aligned with bicyclists and pedestrians, according to Oregon Revised Statute 801.608. Skateboarders are classified as a “vulnerable user of a public way,” along with pedestrians, highway workers, roller-skaters, in-line skaters and people riding animals, bicycles and scooters.
An Oregon Court of Appeals decision in 2002 made it clear that skateboarders are not vehicles. In State of Oregon vs. William Tyler Smith, a Multnomah County Court convicted a skateboarder of reckless driving.
The defendant appealed. The Oregon Court of Appeals reversed the decision, claiming “under ORS.026(6), a skateboard is exempt from the vehicle code, including the reckless driving statute.”
Question: My folks in California died recently and while cleaning out their stuff I found an old photo of my Great-Uncle Johnny, on the back of which says: “Springfield, Oregon, 1920.” Can you tell me where this photo was taken?
Answer: With help from the Springfield Historical Museum folks, yes.
It was taken from the west side (Glenwood) of the Willamette River near downtown Springfield, looking east to what’s now the Borden Chemical plant.
The bridge behind him is the Springfield Wagon Bridge, which opened in 1895 about 100 yards south of the current steel railroad bridge.
The steel wagon bridge replaced a wooden bridge that had been washed away, probably in the flood of 1890, which, according to David Turner’s pictorial book “Eugene,” “took out every major bridge in Lane County.”
In 1929 the green bridge that now carries westbound traffic over the Willamette River was built.
By 1950 the traffic demand had increased to merit a second bridge.Our company supplys different kinds of travellingcabless, elevator components.Solar roofingmachine is a new type product of optional energy. A question that even the folks at the historical museum haven’t been able to answer: When was the old wagon bridge that Great-Uncle Johnny was standing by removed?
Question: You recently wrote about a pilot who planned to leave just after Christmas to fly solo from Creswell to Antarctica.It is possible to take this a step further, and to also merge the automatic purlinmachines and clothes dryer into a single device. What’s his status?
Answer: Harry Anderson, who has homes in Eugene and on Bainbridge Island, Wash.Flexiway Solar has produced the most affordable yet powerful solar-powered cuttingmachinemm in the world., flew from Creswell to San Francisco and, after a Christmas stay with a brother’s family, plans to leave today for Phoenix, Ariz., and, ultimately, Antarctica.
Question: I understand most of Eugene’s traffic signals have been converted to light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures. Does the city have any LED street lights?
Answer: Eugene has about 10,000 street lights, almost all of them equipped with high-pressure sodium bulbs.
Six LED street light fixtures are in use, most of them on Avalon Street in west Eugene.Outputting as much as 660 kilowatts on a windy day, from single ledstreetlight. The lighting on the new Delta Ponds Bridge also uses LED fixtures.
