October’s meeting of the Santa Clara Community Organization will feature a short presentation of where the planning stands for the future of the Beltline interchanges at River Road and Delta.  There will be opportunity for input and discussion.  There will also be an update on planning for the rebuilding  of Beaver and Hunsaker.

At the last SCCO meeting there was a discussion about homeless rest stops and how our community might respond in the future when we are asked to provide space for these homeless refugees. It was decided to try to contact and organize local businesses to initiate a discussion of this issue.

SCRRIPT tries to get the attention of the County and City
The Santa Clara-River Road Implementation and Planning Team has worked the past several years toward the creation of an area plan for our community.  Such a plan would set the course of development and services in River Road and Santa Clara for the next 20 years.  The City has postponed its plans to begin working with SCRRIPT to focus on South Eugene. The Team will propose a letter to be presented personally to City and County leaders urging them to make the Santa Clara and River Road Area Plan a priority this coming year.

Neighborhood Matching Grants Due October 31

Posted on September 29, 2016 by Gary Haliski

The Santa Clara area has had four neighborhood grants approved since 2008.  Most have centered around Awbrey Park and Spring Creek between Spring Creek Drive and East Beacon.

If you have an idea for a project, please email the SCCO or bring it to the next SCCO meeting on October 6.   Keep in mind that this is a matching grant, meaning the city’s money will have to be matched by money, labor, material or a combination thereof.

Here’s a list of all of the matching grants awarded since 2000,  The SCCO has been talking about a dog park and signage for bicycles.  Both are good candidates for a matching grant.  There are certainly many opportunities for Santa Clara.

Beaver-Hunsaker Corridor FAQ’s

Posted on August 30, 2016 by Gary Haliski

After you read the Corridor Study from the previous post you may have several questions about the project.  The following FAQ (frequently asked questions) sheet covers a lot of territory.  From ‘Will local property owners be assessed any construction costs?’ to ‘Will the project help reduce the speed of traffic?’ to ‘Why does the design only include a multi-use plan on a portion of the corridor?’ And there’s much more.
