• interoffice MEMORANDUM to: Johnny Medlin cc: John Etter, Dick Morgan from: John Weber re: Golden Gardens channel crossing date: February 3, 1997 This memo is to outline a situation and seek some assistance in finding a solution. On or about March 7th of this year I was asked by John Etter and Dick Morgan to make application to DR/CORPS for a fill permit to allow the construction of a depressed grade culvert crossing of the A2 channel in Golden Gardens Park. (OBEC Engineering had done a bridge inspection report 9/16/94 on the old wooden bridge crossing and reported it unsafe. The bridge was then removed.) By mid April I had completed most of the fill permit application and a preliminary design of a very simple culvert crossing which would use two 36" concrete pipes with compacted fill and base course covering. I contacted Wayne Westfall for his comments on the proposed crossing, and on April 19th he sent me a note advising that the design needed to be revised and engineered and stamped by a civil engineer. He said that FEMA would need to review and approve the design. A day later on April 20th he advised me that this project was being referred to Michelle Cahill for processing. Unknown to me, Michelle apparently left on emergency family leave and during the ensuing 2 months I attempted to get an update from her, with no response of course. At this point it seems like new life needs to be put from the desk of... into this project to make it go forward. Maybe we could solicit Engineering to help us with answers John Weber Parks Planner regarding: City of Eugene, Public Works Maintenance 1820 Roosevelt Blvd. 1. Which would be more cost effective, a culvert Eugene, Or. 97402 crossing or a new bridge. (a bridge would (503) 465 -2812 obviously avoid such issues as DSL fill permit, Fax: (503) 683 -6883
