Residents are urged to observe traffic signs. In particular the stop sign at the bottom of Riverview and Floral Hill Drive and the Yield sign at Riverview and Hendricks Hill Drive. We have had some close calls!! Also remember the speed limit is 15 mph at all times within our community!!
Given current economic conditions, no subsequent action has yet taken place. We will continue to monitor City deliberations and development along this critical access point for our neighborhood.
In the event of developoment there is much room for negotiation if we have recommendations to bring to the City or developer on the form of this development (i.e. cluster housing, open areas, sculpted roads, public right of way via a bike path, etc.). Regulations are tighter now than in the past regarding common areas, they are now often held by both the PUD and the City. There are also some valuable habitat areas which have been recently identified by the City and could be addressed within the PUD approval process. The developer has expressed strong interest in working with us as plans unfold.
A group of interested homeowners has volunteered to act as a working group to stay current with development progress and make recommendations to the City and developer as plans for this development unfold. Our goal is to work out issues in advance and be a constructive influence in shaping the neighboring development. Members include: Bruce Mulligan, Sukie Mackie, Stephanie Midkiff and Meg Hamilton
City South Ridgline Habitat Study - Inventory shows area surrounding our neighborhood has high weighted habitat rating
The Eugene City Council has asked City staff to begin work on a study of potentially important plant and wildlife habitat areas along Eugene's South Ridgeline. The study, called the South Ridgeline Habitat Study (SRHS), will evaluate approximately 2,700 acres near the ridgeline of the South Hills to determine where important upland habitat (versus stream and wetland habitat) areas exist. The inventory phase of the SRHS involved collection of field data by wildlife scientists and botanists. Their work resulted in an inventory and map of native plant communities, such as oak savanna, potential habitats for rare plants, such as the threatened wayside aster, and potential habitat for state-designated sensitive wildlife species 
, such as the red-legged frog. This inventory will be the basis of future recommendations on possible protection measures or conservation incentive programs for important south ridgeline habitats.
Since the ridgline study incorporates areas within and surrounding our community we learned that the area surrounding our PUD contains some of the highest value ridgeline habitat within the study area. To get further information go to the City's SRHS website at http://www.eugenenr.org/default.htm
The bald eagle at right was recently seen in our common area near the park.
