River Road Corridor Study Workshops conclude tonight – Wed, Feb 13

A lot of progress has been made at the first two days of the Corridor Study and workshops. Yesterday’s workshop provided the opportunity to look at some new ideas for the area from Beltline to Hunsaker. Ideas included a city library branch, a community meeting room, a restaurant and housing on the former Santa Clara school site.

Tonight, the last of three consecutive workshops starts at 6:30 and ends at 8:00. There will be a short presentation at 7 PM. Please join us. Drop in anytime. Plan on spending 20 to 30 minutes reviewing the different stations.

You’ll find information about updates to the intersection at River Road and Hunsaker, the LTD transit station, and development possibilities for the rest of the old Santa Clara School property. You can also learn more about housing options, possible ’20 minute neighborhood’ centers along the corridor and more. (The Corridor Study also includes River Road south of Beltline down to Maurie Jacobs park.)

6:30 – 8:00 PM
Emergency Services Training Center 
(1705 W 2nd Ave, Eugene OR)

River Road Workshop Continues Today 4-6 PM, Feb 12

Thanks for the great turnout last night at the first of three workshops.

The workshops provide an opportunity for members of the public to drop in, review and provide comment on the work of our design team. These are drop in workshops where you can show up anytime between 4 and 6. Plan on spending about 20 to 30 minutes reviewing the planning progress. Each station is staffed with people knowledgeable in a specific topic area.

Overview of the Corridor study: The River Road Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan is crafting a vision for the future of the two neighborhoods. Join your neighbors and local businesses in developing options for the corridor. Help create thriving, vibrant and active mixed neighborhood centers along River Road that support all forms of transportation, including walking, biking, and transit.

There will be a third workshop Wednesday starting at 6:30 PM. There will be a short presentation at 7PM.

Start Recycling Plastics Now! (#2,#4,#5)

Lane County Plastics Roundup

IMPORTANT: Dirty plastic, plastic with glued on labels, and any plastic other than #2, #4, and #5 will NOT be accepted. All items must have a stamped resin code and any glued-on labels must be removed.

Tip: Paper and plastic labels may require soaking. The best method is to apply a generous coating of old cooking oil to the label and let it sit overnight, by morning it should be easy to remove.  Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) will remove any remaining adhesive.

Tim Foelker is a designated “community collector,” please contact him (541-689-8897) to arrange for delivering your plastics, or arrange for a possible pickup. We should be able to take your plastics at the March 7th and April 4th SCCO meetings, so collect your sorted bags and bring ’em to the meeting! Check with your neighbors, too, and help them collect.

More information can be found at the Lane County Plastics Roundup page.
