Awbrey Park Wildflower Walk and Celebration This Saturday

Come take a tour of Awbrey Park this Saturday, April 16th, to see the native plants in bloom.  There will be Frisbee Golf, smores, horseshoes, and a treasure hunt for the kids.  At noon, there will be a dedication ceremony for the new bridge that the city installed late last year.

Santa Clara residents should have received a mailer this week from the Santa Clara Community Organization.  The mailer has more information about the Awbrey Park celebration and other upcoming events in Santa Clara.  If you didn’t get a mailer, here is a look at the first page of the mailer.

EmX or Enhanced River Road Corridor? – Comment by Friday , March 18th

MovingAheadReImaginedPlease take the time to participate in MovingAhead’s on line open house.  There are three options on the table for River Road.  An ‘Enhanced Corridor’ alternative, an EmX option and a no build alternative.  The first two options include improvements for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Here’s the article from MovingAhead:


It’s not too late to let us know what you think about the MovingAhead alternatives!

We wanted to thank the over 75 people who came out to our open house last week! We heard great feedback on MovingAhead and look forward to using this information to conduct a more detailed study of the costs, benefits, and impacts of each alternative.
If you were not able to attend the open house, you still have time to participate in our online open house! Learn more about each corridor alternative and leave us a comment.

Attend the online open house here!

Act now, the online open house closes on Friday, March 18th! 


Your participation is critical to developing and confirming the range of alternatives that will best accommodate all users along five corridors in Eugene (Highway 99, River Road, Coburg Road, 30th Avenue/Lane Community College, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard). A safe, accessible transportation system supports great neighborhoods and helps keep us and our economy healthy. We need your input about the right kind of improvements in each corridor – MovingAhead is looking at how to improve corridors for those who walk, bike, use mobility devices, and take transit.

For up-to-date information, to join our mailing list, or to send us feedback visit MovingAhead.org.  You can also contact the project team at questions@MovingAhead.org.

SCCO Meeting Thursday, March 3 7:00 PM

The main topic at our March meeting will be the potential of a new biking and walking trail to connect Beaver-Hunsaker to River Loop 1.  There will also be disussions regarding signing a route along existing roads and a longer term vision of a trail along the river.

Also to be considered at the meeting is whether the SCCO should offer its support of the OSU Extension Service 5 year levy ballot measure.
