Eugene Town Square On-line survey

Here is a link to a survey for the future Eugene Town Square. You’ll be asked what you want the area to look like and what type of activities should be held at the square. Lot’s of exciting possibilities, but everything can’t be incorporated into the square, so the city needs your input.

Big Week for Important Meetings: Planningpalooza

There are four meetings this week that will have impacts on the Santa Clara area. Pat yourself on the back if you make all four.

Open House Monday June 2 Four to Six pM.

Think of the June 3 open house as a subset of the Neighborhood Planning process. The Corridor Study is looking at what should be done with the street, sidewalks, and safe street crossing points along River Road as well as what type of businesses and housing we want along River Road.


The June 4 Open House reviews the proposals for the Beltline/Delta interchange, the Beltline/River Ave/Division area and the Beltline/ River Road exit.

The June 5th open house will cover at least 15 of the city of Eugene’s projects, including several specific to Santa Clara. Some other exciting projects to get a sneak peak at are the Downtown Square, the Downtown Riverfront and Climate Action Plan 2.0.

Our monthly SCCO meeting is Thursday, June 6 at 7 PM. We will be electing one new board member.
Interested? You can nominate yourself! Qualifications are that candidates must have signed into at least one meeting in the last 12 months and be either a resident, property owner, or business owner in Santa Clara.
Thursday, 7PM
