River Road Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan

Main Topic: Update on the River Road – Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan

This monthly meeting of the Santa Clara Community Organization will feature an update on specific draft actions to make the River Road – Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan a reality. Neighborhood volunteers from both Santa Clara and River Road have been hard at work to draft goals, policies and actions that will guide decision making for the next twenty years. This neighborhood plan is a chance to take city-wide policies and tailor them to the unique aspects of our neighborhoods. At this SCCO meeting we will review the work currently being done on the draft action items and collect input on neighborhood priorities.

Want more information on the Neighborhood Plan?

The River road – Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan is a collaborative effort between SCCO, RRCO, the City of Eugene and Lane County. The plan will address land use planning, economic development, transportation, parks and natural resources and community.
