The City of Eugene has decided it needs more time to reach a final decision regarding using Lone Oaks park as a homeless Rest Stop.
For more information about the most recent decision by the city, including how long the Rest Stop might be at Lone Oak park, please read the July 30 The Register-Guard article.
The Santa Clara Community Organization has not taken a position on this issue at this time.
Lone Oak Park, near Lone Oak Assisted Living, has been chosen as the location for a Rest Stop for the homeless.
The Register-Guard has reported that the city of Eugene has postponed until Thursday the decision on choosing between Lone Oaks park in Santa Clara or a site near west 13th and Bailey Hill.
