Big Community Event to Review the Draft Action plan for Santa Clara and River Road – Pumpkin Pie

Posted on October 29, 2019 by Gary Haliski

As the River Road-Santa Clara Plan wraps up the action planning phase, we have plenty to celebrate!

Neighbors and staff have been hard at work on this neighborhood plan, and we are excited to unveil the draft action plan at this community event. Participants will have a chance to weigh in and provide their input on whether it captures neighborhood priorities.

Come out to enjoy food and fun entertainment as well as activities for the kids. Whether new to the neighborhood or an already active member, everyone is encouraged to jump in and forge new connections, strengthen old ones and envision the future of the River Road and Santa Clara community!

Does your Thundercan stay out for more than 24 hours?

Posted on October 14, 2019 by Gary Haliski

Hello thunder. Glad to hear you.

Live in the city limits? Behold the sound of a Thundercan. We hear it roll through our neighborhoods each week when our neighbors walk their empty garbage and recycling bins in from the street.

Did you know garbage and recycling bins can remain on the curb for no more than 24 hours? It is a City Rule, but it is also who we are. We are residents of Eugene who contribute to more livable, less cluttered streets, and enjoy making a little thunder along the way.

Please visit the city of Eugene’s Thundercan page and click on the link to hear a 10 second audio clip of a Thundercan.

Our SCCO meeting is a great last opportunity to get informed about the various LTD/City options being presented for funding.  That decision will be made after the October 21st public hearing this month. 

LTD is going to choose a corridor for funding from a list of options for all corridors that range from no improvements, to enhanced service, to full EmX buildout.  Attend our meeting and get informed so that you can give substantive feedback about the choice to be made. This is a great chance to ask questions, generate ideas, and form opinions about their preferences.

Click on the graphic below to go to the Moving Ahead website to learn more about the options. You will find more information about the October 21st meeting and on option to submit online comments.
