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.

Survey: River Road- Santa Clara Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge

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.

Much more information is on the City’s website at https://www.eugene-or.gov/5028/River-Road—Santa-Clara-Bicycle-and-Ped

SCCO Board Meeting, September 5, 2024

September is designated for the Executive Board to work on organizational matters. There will not be a general meeting this month. SCCO residents are welcome to view the live meeting via Google Meet. During the public comment period at the start of the meeting, those who want to share concerns, suggestions, or creative ideas will have an opportunity to speak, but they will not be able to participate after the public comment period.

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.
  • SCCO communications – modes (website, email, Facebook, etc), limitations, ideas for improvement.
  • Program organization for General Meetings – There is a need to be more proactive in deciding what topics to cover and then sharing the responsibility for making it happen.
