Ee NEIGHBORHOOD CONVERSATION FORM The Neighborhood Conversation form was developed to help SCRROL identify and evaluate community priorities. The form was organized into four major categories (land use, governance, parks and recreation, and transportation). Ten key statements were listed. These statements were derived from previous outreach efforts such as the Transition Project, the City of Eugene Neighborhood Survey, input from SCCO and RRCO board members, and information from service districts. The form was designed as a conversation tool, not a formal survey. An important goal was to introduce residents to challenges and assets of their neighborhood by looking at maps of the "More neighborhood. After conversing with a SCRROL volunteer, residents were asked to complete the community Neighborhood Conversation form and indicate their priorities. Behind each of 242 completed events like the forms is a personal conversation. The results are not statistically valid, but they do provide a event tonight at window into the thoughts of individuals who cared enough about their neighborhood to share Awbrey Park..." a few minutes of their time.
