Startouch Residents,
This is a courtesy notice that workers will be in the neighborhood beginning the week of 09/11/2025 to apply herbicide and remove re-sprouting blackberry bushes 50 feet within northern Ridgeline trail boundaries. This may require some minimal access via your property.
This is on-going work performed by Eugene Parks and Open Space to remove invasive plant species and reduce brush that can fuel forest fires in our areas.
Thank you in advance for your support!
Welp we are!
Southwest Hills Neighborhood Association (SHiNA) provides a way to influence what happens in our neighborhood and in the city as a whole!
The night sky and views from our street are a prominent feature of the aptly named Startouch Drive, and so we all have a vested interest in protecting its value. Home lighting that impinges on your neighbors should be reevaluated. Lighting for safety and security is important, but there are ways to do this while minimally imposing on those around you...
