SCCO Meeting Thursday the 3rd. Parks, Dogs and Area Plan

Posted on August 1, 2017 by Gary Haliski

Also, Revisiting creating a dog park

Last year the Santa Clara Community Organization supported and
researched the creation of a dog park in Santa Clara. It was decided
that the best place for one would be Lone Oak Park — an undeveloped
park bordering Division Avenue. The possibility looked promising until the
City decided that might be a good spot for a homeless rest stop (which they subsequently decided not to do) and a change in leadership in the City Parks Department disrupting the continuity of our progress. This may be perhaps a good time to try to kickstart this process.

And — Input in what should be included in area plan

Before the area plan for River Road and Santa Clara is launched in about a month we will be considering the 6 areas that will comprise the area plan
and suggest what would be important to consider as the plan is constructed:

• Land Use
• Parks and Recreation
• Transportation
• Public Safety
• Economic Development
• Governance

But wait, there’s more. A message from the Lane County Regional Air protection Agency:

SCCO Meeting: Sidewalks, Bike Path, Green Space for Beaver-Hunsaker?

Posted on July 4, 2017 by Gary Haliski

The main subject for this Thursday’s monthly SCCO meeting is the Beaver- Hunsaker Corridor Plan.  Come to our meeting on Thursday, July 6 at 7 PM, and learn more about the many potential changes to Beaver and Hunsaker.  You may want to use information from this meeting to provide input to the county at a Wednesday, July 26 meeting.

The study:

  • identifies transportation improvements in the Hunsaker Lane/Beaver Street and Wilkes Corridors to improve the safety of these corridors
  • identifies cycling and walking opportunities.
  • anticipates a new bridge just to the north of the existing Beltline bridge which empties traffic onto Division Avenue and provides access to North Delta,
  • identifies potential changes in anticipation of a new LTD transfer station at the corner of Hunsaker and River Road.
  • In addition, the study has identified a possible multimodal path between Beaver Street and Admiral Street, giving walking and bicycle access to the north as far as Madison Middle School.

Can’t wait for the meeting or can’t attend?  The entire study and draft plan can be found at http://lanecounty.org/cms/One.aspx?portalId=3585881&pageId=8599845
