1. Better Eugene Springfield Transportation (BEST) will share its findings from the last 8 months of outreach about transportation challenges, opportunities, and improvements needed along River Road.  Before they formally report back to the City of Eugene and LTD, they’d like to share their tentative results and listen to your reflections. 45 minutes
2. Summer fun opportunities in Santa Clara for kids and the kid in all of us.  Plan for neighborhood adventure and love where you live! 45 minutes

Before the presentations, we will have:

• WE NEED YOU!!
  SCCO and River Road Community Organization (RRCO) are beginning implementation of the Neighborhood plan that so many neighbors helped develop. Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and help make it happen.  We have formed a Neighborhood Implementation Planning Committee (NPIC) with membership from both River Road and Santa Clara to jumpstart this process. 
  
  We began with a transportation forum in February to hear what projects are in the works for our area and to share neighborhood priorities with the City and the County. In May, we did the same for Parks and Natural Resources. We are scheduling the other three topic area forums in the fall (September, October, and November). In preparation, we need to get busy planning this summer.

 THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN

Neighbors who are interested in Land Use, Economic Development, and Community building can help identify neighborhood priorities, recruit allies and stakeholders to work in these areas, and create the agendas for the forums. We will continue to collaborate with the City of Eugene and Lane County throughout the work, but we need residents to lead the way.  Ideally, there will be a few folks interested in each topic area who will form a small team to do that work.

Help guide the future of your neighborhood! Work in concert with other neighbors and service providers, and make tangible change. To participate, please contact either Kate Perle (fccf@efn.org, SCCO Chair) or Beth Gerot (bethgerot@gmail.com, RRCO co-chair). 

          If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, let’s go together.
