More surveys – Riverfront Plaza and City Library

Posted on August 28, 2022 by Gary Haliski

Apparently, you can’t have too many surveys. Here are two more:

  1. From the Engage Eugene Team

New designs for the future Downtown Riverfront Park Plaza give an exciting look at what’s in store for the next phase of development on the riverfront! 

Take the short survey by Tuesday, August 30, to weigh in on playground options, water play design, plaza and lawn layout, and other interpretive elements.

An interpretive art piece based on Millrace history will be featured in the plaza. The piece will tell stories about time spent in, on, or along the Millrace. Do you have memories or experiences from the Millrace or other waterways in Eugene that you’d like to share? Your words will be a valuable addition to our collective histories within the new piece. Tell your story here.

SCCO Survey – How can we help you?

Posted on August 22, 2022 by Gary Haliski

The Santa Clara Community Organization is asking you to take 10 minutes to fill out a survey about our neighborhood. Please tell us about the quality of life in Santa Clara and what can make it better. You will help us know what you want from the SCCO and how we can do a better job. The results will also influence City of Eugene policies for all neighborhoods.

The SCCO wants to know what neighborhood issues and problems to focus on, what kinds of speakers to invite to our meetings, what types of events to bring to the area, and what to discuss in mailings. The City wants to learn what neighborhood needs and issues are most important to you.

The survey was created by neighborhood association members working with the City’s Neighborhood Program. We will be able to see the results for our specific area as well as for the city.

Your response will be confidential. It won’t take you long.
