Neighborhood Matching Grants Due October 31

Posted on September 29, 2016 by Gary Haliski

The Santa Clara area has had four neighborhood grants approved since 2008.  Most have centered around Awbrey Park and Spring Creek between Spring Creek Drive and East Beacon.

If you have an idea for a project, please email the SCCO or bring it to the next SCCO meeting on October 6.   Keep in mind that this is a matching grant, meaning the city’s money will have to be matched by money, labor, material or a combination thereof.

Here’s a list of all of the matching grants awarded since 2000,  The SCCO has been talking about a dog park and signage for bicycles.  Both are good candidates for a matching grant.  There are certainly many opportunities for Santa Clara.

Beaver-Hunsaker Corridor FAQ’s

Posted on August 30, 2016 by Gary Haliski

After you read the Corridor Study from the previous post you may have several questions about the project.  The following FAQ (frequently asked questions) sheet covers a lot of territory.  From ‘Will local property owners be assessed any construction costs?’ to ‘Will the project help reduce the speed of traffic?’ to ‘Why does the design only include a multi-use plan on a portion of the corridor?’ And there’s much more.

Beaver Hunsaker Corridor & Multi Use Path Update

Posted on August 30, 2016 by Gary Haliski

LTD announced a 3 million dollar grant from the Oregon Department of Transportation.  The grant will cover nearly 40 per cent of the park and ride station at the old Santa Clara school site (Hunsaker and River Road).  Construction is anticipated to begin in 2017, with completion in 2018.

The construction of the transit station hopefully will lead to a safer Hunsaker-Beaver corridor and the addition of a Multi-Use path along the western edge of Delta Sand & Gravel.  The document below reviews the current status of the corridor study as well as next steps.  You will be able to provide input at other times during the process.

We off our thanks to the dozens of people who showed up for the June meeting at North Eugene High School.
