Press Release from MovingAhead:
Join us to review alternatives for how some of Eugene’s most important streets for people biking, walking, using mobility devices, and taking the bus could be improved.
Through MovingAhead, the City of Eugene and the Lane Transit District (LTD) have developed alternatives for how transit – both EmX and regular buses – and improvements to sidewalks and bikeways might make it easier to get around our community.  At the open house, you can review the alternatives for changes to the corridors along Highway 99, River Road, Coburg Road, 30th Avenue to Lane Community College, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.

The River Road Corridor Enhancements/EmX options can be found Here, approximately page 3-38.

Discussion of Support for Extension Service Levy

Posted on February 18, 2016 by Peter Thurston

At the Santa Clara Community Organization (SCCO) meeting on March 3, at 7 pm, there will be a discussion and possible action to support OSU educational programs in the community. Over the past several years SCCO has developed goals supporting farming and gardening. There is a long history of agriculture in the Santa Clara area, and SCCO sponsors a community garden.

The question to be discussed is: Shall SCCO offer its support of the OSU Extension Service 5-year levy ballot measure scheduled for a vote of the people of Lane County on May 17, 2016, and endorse and recommend the assessment of $1.50 per $100,000 assessed value (about $3 per year on a $200,000 assessment)?

That’s a cup of good coffee per year in support of 4-H kid programs , Master Gardener and Master Food Preserver volunteers who provide training. Additionally, a commercial agriculture agent and forestry program will be added to Lane County Extension. The meeting location is: Messiah Lutheran Church 3280 River Road. Come on out to your neighborhood organization.
