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!

For more information visit www.RiverRoad-SantaClaraPlan.org or contact project manager Terri Harding, 541-682-5635 or THarding@eugene-or.gov.

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.
