Do you own a walkie-talkie (FRS or GMRS)? Do you want to contribute to the Neighborhood Assessment Teams when a disaster occurs?Eugene EmComm offers a monthly ZOOM meeting on the fourth Wednesday of every month. Subject matter repeats quarterly. VISIT https://eugeneemcomm.org/ for Zoom details.
Here’s a link to a KEZI TV segment about the Santa Clara Community Park pedestrian bridge installation.
Below is an approximate rendition of what the park should look like when completed. The recently installed pedestrian bridge connects the north and south sections of the park. Much work has been done along the park’s north side. Take a bicycle or car ride along River Loop 2 to see what has been done so far.
The City of Eugene has released a survey that explores the feasibility of constructing a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over Beltline Highway, connecting the Santa Clara and River Road neighborhoods.
Eugene has received funding from the Federal Highway Administration to conduct a bridge location and feasibility study. The study will look at where a bicycle and pedestrian bridge might go, how a bridge would connect to surrounding streets, and estimate bridge construction costs.

Main topics:
Implementation of the River Road-Santa Clara Neighborhood Plan. We need folks to work with the River Road Community Organization and the City of Eugene to identify priorities and move them forward.
