New Public Safety / City Hall Facility - 12800 Ravine Parkway South, Project Update!
You can view the construction progress at the site of the New Public Safety / City Hall building in real time by linking to our web camera at http://oxblue.com/pro/open/CottageGrove. The camera allows you to see ten minute updates or go to back in time and see something you’ve missed. On the left side of the screen you can pick the time of the day you are interested in. You can make the camera time lapse to view progression or view by calendar (this will be more impressive as time goes by). You can zoom and pan within the frame of the picture. And finally, there is also temperature data for each photo taken; it is on the bottom left hand corner of the photo. Please click here for all information related to the PSCH project.
