Restaurant inspections

County officials regularly inspect food facilities to ensure compliance with state laws. Here, Lookout Eugene-Springfield reports both those who have passed the inspections and those where the county observed issues that need correction. The county’s full ongoing reports are available here.

• Arby’s Roast Beef at 4252 Main St., passed a county health inspection on Aug. 23 with no issues. (view report)
   
• Subway at 4270 Main St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on Aug. 23. The restaurant scored 92 out of 100. The inspector found no paper towels at the drive-thru handwashing sink and a broken dispenser in the main prep area, which were fixed during the visit. A worker improperly reused gloves after touching clothing but corrected this immediately. Dark residue was found inside the soft drink nozzles, requiring more frequent cleaning. Jewelry worn by food workers, equipment leaks, broken ceiling tiles, holes in walls, a non-self-closing employee restroom door, improperly dried mops, missing vent covers, rusted shelves, and inadequate lighting in refrigeration areas were also noted and need repair or improvement.

• Native Coffee Company Llc at 217 N 42nd St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on Aug. 23. The restaurant scored 97 out of 100. Inspectors found a spray bottle with toxic chemicals that wasn’t labeled, but it was fixed during the visit. Dead flies on a sticky trap in the kitchen need to be removed more often to prevent buildup. Ice and water buildup inside a mini fridge requires repair or replacement. Lastly, the restroom door’s self-closing mechanism isn’t working and needs to be fixed to ensure it closes properly. (view report)

Roadwork is affecting traffic near you

• Long-term projects: Construction is happening on 36th Street between Main Street and Commercial Avenue as part of the GO Bond Street Repair Project. Work started the week of April 27 and is expected to finish by September 30. Local residents can still get to their homes, but there will be temporary lane and driveway closures, and some areas will have no parking. You may notice changes to travel routes, construction noise, dust, and heavy equipment. Advance notice will be given before any closures.
