Change starts with us
Lane County leaders over 7+ decades have declined to make our LARs part of the County road system. It will take a lot of effort on our part to make change happen.
- Sign our petition urging the County to take responsibility for these roads.
- Join our mailing list to receive updates on this issue and to hear about specific opportunities to get involved.
- Call or write directly to our Lane County Commissioner for most of River Road and Santa Clara, Ryan Ceniga, and urge him to work with his fellow commissioners to end this unfair treatment: (541) 682-4203, Ryan.Ceniga@lanecountyor.gov.
- Write to the whole Lane County Board of Commissioners (lcbcccom@lanecountyor.gov) expressing your consternation and urging them to act. Copy Lane County Public Works (lcpwadmn@lanecountyor.gov).
- Testify in-person or virtually at one or more Lane County Board of Commissioners meetings. (We will let our mailing list know about specific dates we’ll target, but the more dates even just one or a few people turn out to testify, the more they will pay attention.) Tuesday morning meetings are usually the ones where Public Comment is on the agenda. Calendar Meetings page.
- Volunteer to go door-to-door to educate homeowners and gather petition signatures – contact us.
- Volunteer your skills to help us understand options, and to organize: legal skills, graphic design, and any others you may have that you feel would be helpful – contact us.
- Write to the Eugene Mayor and City Council (mayorcouncilandcitymanager@eugene-or.gov) to ask for their support.
- Talk to your neighbors: make sure they are aware of this issue, send them to this website, larsineugene.com, and ask them to get involved. If you’d like some cards with this website on them to pass out as you talk to people, send me a message and I’ll drop some off!
- Write to us with other ideas you have for involvement.
