Take a survey to help determine what types of housing and other zoning should be along the River Road Corridor.

Click on the blue rectangle to go to the River Road Corridor Study Page and Survey

The survey presents two draft land use concepts for the corridor and dives into future zoning and development types along River Road. A key question is how to plan for housing near River Road? Should we plan for denser apartments along the road and major side streets, or enable middle housing such as triplexes, cottage clusters, and rowhouses over a wider area within walking distance of the corridor? 

The River Road Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan is charting a vision for the future of the two neighborhoods. A key goal of the Plan is to improve River Road, the major street that runs from Santa Clara, through River Road, and connects the neighborhoods to central Eugene. As one of the major transportation routes in the Eugene area, River Road is important to neighborhood residents, the Eugene-Springfield community, and regional travelers. In addition it was identified as a key corridor through Envision Eugene, the community’s long-range vision. For more information, please go to https://www.eugene-or.gov/4110/Corridor-Study

The diagrams below and many, many more are included in the survey. Please let the city know your feelings on the various concepts.
