All Management Unit <br /> • Interested in matching donation to restore the Oak Knoll trail. (David Reed received <br /> photo from 1939 from citizen.) <br /> • sign at the head of Orchard Street directs traffic into Eaton Drive in spite of dead end <br /> sign. (Suggest placing sign so this doesn't happen.) <br /> • Gate the upper Rhody garden parking lot to allow closure at night. (Concern about public <br /> safety, speed, partying.) <br /> • Please do not make the view of downtown Eugene "enhanced" from the parking lot <br /> looking West- Northwest. <br /> • Worried about the deer munching on the native plants being restored. People should be <br /> concerned that deer prefer to eat natives over invasives and this presents a problem for <br /> management in addition to other problems. <br /> • Small "botanical" garden with plants arranged by family to support interpretive plants. <br /> This would not be a "natural" garden, but serves a purpose to deliver the family concept <br /> upon which plant classification is based. <br /> • I support the idea of restricted traffic in the park. Please do guard it's natural character. <br /> • It's a good idea to manage the park for low impact use. <br /> • I am very pleased with the information that the DAC and Eugene Park- related staff are <br /> making a priority of protecting and enhancing the park's natural quality. Restricting <br /> traffic, having a master plan that includes restoring native vegetation to the undeveloped <br /> portion of the park, and limiting the sizes of groups are all great ideas. <br /> • A zig -zag street in the park portion of Summit is another good idea. Trees could be <br /> planted in zigs to block the wind tunnel and tranquility in the heart of the park could be <br /> vastly enhanced by the fact that traffic would go very slowly - -a better way to enjoy <br /> traveling through the park anyway. San Francisco treasurers it's "windiest" street in the <br /> City and we would too. (Maybe the $500,000 cost of the zig -zag portion of Summit <br /> might be financed with a federal grant.) <br /> • Our city's population is growing and I believe that all our parks- -and especially those that <br /> create tranquil, beautiful natural islands will be increasingly treasured. Your plans to <br /> enhance low impact enjoyment of the park are a good investment in this special resource. <br /> • Concerned over night lighting. We need to reduce it. <br /> • Suggest creating a native plant nursery. <br /> • Suggest narrowing Summit Road to a fire lane. <br /> • Advocate for a Neighborhood Watch group or a park patrol. <br /> • Entry into the park is confusing. Need better signage and signage that meets ADA <br /> (braille, etc.) <br /> • Suggest installing benches throughout the park, especially in areas going up hill on the <br /> trail. <br /> • Suggest encouraging bike access into the park by placing bicycle parking area at the top. <br /> (The only bike rack now is at the base of Summit.) <br /> • Excellent comprehensive plan developed by DAC and David Reed & Associates! <br /> Another of Eugene's greatest resources are it's citizens who are informed, articulate, and <br /> willing to get involved as stewards of Hendricks Park and other urban forested areas in <br /> Eugene (Spencers, Skinners, Ridgeline trail, etc.). Many excellent ideas presented, <br /> though I probably would support closure of Fairmount Blvd. As elderly and <br />
