Now it\u2019s time to roll up your sleeves and help make it happen.\u00a0 We have formed a Neighborhood Implementation Planning Committee (NPIC) with membership from both River Road and Santa Clara to jumpstart this process.\u00a0<br><br>We began with a transportation forum in February to hear what projects are in the works for our area and to share neighborhood priorities with the City and the County. In May, we did the same for Parks and Natural Resources. We are scheduling the other three topic area forums in the fall (September, October, and November). In preparation, we need to get busy planning this summer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>\u00a0THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neighbors who are interested in Land Use, Economic Development, and Community building can help identify neighborhood priorities, recruit allies and stakeholders to work in these areas, and create the agendas for the forums. We will continue to collaborate with the City of Eugene and Lane County throughout the work, but we need residents to lead the way.\u00a0 Ideally, there will be a few folks interested in each topic area who will form a small team to do that work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Help guide the future of your neighborhood! Work in concert with other neighbors and service providers, and make tangible change.
