EUGENE MALL, a city center redevelopment, converted a 9-block area into a pedestrian mall. Sections of Willamette Street, Olive Street and Broadway were closed to auto traffic. The mall, dedicated in February 1971, failed to live up to expectations. It was unceremoniously dismantled between 1984 and 2002.

Eugene's OAKWAY MALL predated VALLEY RIVER CENTER by 2 years. This community-class complex was a combination of retail and office space. Renamed OAKWAY CENTER in 1998, it was reconfigured and retenanted between 1995 and 2002.
