The Santa Clara Community Foundation recently added stewardship of Hileman Landing County Park to its list of ongoing projects.
To kick off this effort, SCCF organized a work party on February 8th, 2023, to work on park projects (including invasive plant control) in collaboration with Lane County Parks and a team of young folks from Americorps/NCCC, and, of course, Santa Clara Neighbors!

Jameson Auten, the new general manager of LTD will join us from 7 to 7:30. He wants to introduce himself and begin a conversation with the neighborhood.
We will also have Sash Vartanian, Transportation Planning Supervisor for Lane County and Jon Patrick from the City of Eugene to present information about the future annexation of River Road right of way. This is only the street and right of way, not any adjacent properties. The purpose of the annexation is to move towards jurisdictional transfer, which includes permitting authority and maintenance responsibility.

There’s just one week left to contribute to Food for Lane County’s food drive. The SCCO and OnPoint Community Credit Union are partnering with Food for Lane County to help families this February.
A donation barrel is located at the entrance of the OnPoint branch making it simple to pick up a few items at Fred Meyer and make your donation on the way out. You can also scan the QR code below to donate funds.
If you are interested in placing an ‘Everyone Welcome’ sign on your lawn, contact the SCCO Social Justice Committee at sjc@santaclaracommunity.org .
From the City of Eugene:
There will be an open house on Wednesday, March 8th starting at 5:30 pm at Madison Middle School (875 Wilkes Drive directions) regarding the extension of the West Bank path from Hunsaker Lane to Wilkes Drive.
The purpose of the meeting will be to learn more about the project and schedule. It will also provide a good opportunity for city staff to collect feedback on your opinions about where the path should go and what features it should contain.
We’ll also have materials available at the open house for the city’s Move EUG process. The recent City of Eugene voter-approved pavement bond measure includes $15M in walking/bicycling/safety funds to be spent over the next 5 years. We’ll be collecting input on projects you would like to see considered for spending.
