Bark! Bark! Dog Park.

Posted on May 21, 2016 by Gary Haliski

DogParkLeadDogCome join Barley, Rebecca Marx and her husband Jonathan in an effort to create a dog park in the Santa Clara area.

There have been many requests for a dog park in Santa Clara.   We needed someone to step forward and manage the process and  Rebecca has graciously stepped forward to create and lead the dog park team.

Rebecca has already started contacting officials with the city.  She’ll need help and support along the way.  Please consider joining her group.  If you would like to help, email us at sccoorg@gmail.com .

There will be many ways to get involved.  Here are a few;

  • Choosing the location.
  • Designing the dogpark
  • Attending meetings with city personnel to show support
  • Possibly help building the park – fencing, benches, water faucets, etc
  • Establishing ongoing support of the park with  help from the city, similar to the volunteer groups we have at other Santa Clara parks.
  • Contacting city officials to support a Santa Clara dog park.

Perhaps you can help in other ways, just let us know.

SCCO Meeting, Thursday, May 5th, 7 PM

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Gary Haliski

bikeridersThe monthly SCCO meeting is this Thursday, May 5 at 7 PM.  The meeting will be at the Messiah Lutheran Church at 3280 River Road.

There will be some exciting updates on our bicycling initiatives.  A bicycle path signage proposal for east Santa Clara looks like it will bear some fruit.  Also, some major strides have been taken towards getting a multi-use path (bicycles and pedestrians)  along the west side of Delta Sand & Gravel.

The agenda for this meeting is short.  If you  have any ideas, projects or issues that you would like to explore at future meetings, this meeting is a good one to present them.
