Want to slow down traffic in your neighborhood?

Posted on February 1, 2018 by Gary Haliski

Our friends in the River Road Organization (south of Beltline) have invited Santa Clarians to a brainstorming meeting to help local drivers drive safely.  They already have some starter ideas.  Just guessing by the egg photo, the group must be a lot of fun.  Here’s their invitation from their Facebook site:

What can we, as neighbors, do to encourage safer driving on our residential streets?
Get creative with your neighbors.
Lean about successful strategies used elsewhere.
What can we, as neighbors, do to encourage safer driving on our residential streets?
Sunday Feb. 25, 1-3 PM 
1055 River Road
Families welcome, children’s activities.

City buys riverfront property for Natural Area park

Posted on January 7, 2018 by Gary Haliski

Map by Tim Penix for the Register-Guard

The city of Eugene recently purchased riverfront property in the Santa Clara area with money from the 2006 Parks Bond.  The city has designated the park as a Natural Area park.  Santa Clara also has nine neighborhood parks (3 are developed) and over 35 acres of land targeted for a community park.

Here is a link to The Register-Guard article from January 7th.  There is a nice slide show that accompanies the article.
