Hello River Road friends & neighbors,

I've been part of a team of School Garden Project volunteers caretaking the fantastic school garden at River Road/El Camino del Rio Elementary this summer. Now that school is starting up again soon, we'd really like to get it ready for kids to plant in so that they can have good learning experiences in the garden this year.

Annexation, the gradual but inevitable process of adding property within Eugene’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to the city, is by far the hottest topic on River Road. It frames just about every issue affecting the neighborhood, from how outmoded storm drains are dealt with to who takes the call when an emergency happens.
The June 11th River Road Community Organization general meeting examined one potential casualty of the annexation process, the River Road Parks and Recreation District.
