EUEUGE Public Works <br /> Maintenance Division <br /> City of Eugene <br /> MEMORANDUM 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97402 <br /> (541) 682 -4800 <br /> (541) 682 -4882 FAX <br /> Date: June 27, 2000 <br /> To: City Councilor Gary Rayor <br /> From: Tim Rhay, Parks Maintenance Manager <br /> Subject: Condition of Rasor Park after the River Road Cruise -In Event <br /> You inquired concerning the condition of Rasor Park following the 2000 River Road Cruise -In event <br /> held there June 17 <br /> The Weekend Supervisor for Public Works Maintenance monitored the Cruise -In event in progress as <br /> well as several other reservation events held in City parks that weekend. Following the Cruise -In, <br /> Rasor Park was inspected. I am informed that the event's staff and participants respected the setback <br /> and tree protection requirements placed on them, managed vehicle and foot traffic in an orderly <br /> fashion, and left the site clean after the event. No obvious damage to trees or shrubs was noted. <br /> The matter of soil compaction is more difficult to quantify as we have no baseline data to compare to <br /> current conditions. It would be fair to say that any compaction this year would have been less severe <br /> than last, as this year's event was somewhat smaller. I did have one unconfirmed, anecdotal report <br /> from a citizen that spectator parking spilled over the marked "setback" line at some point during the day <br /> but this was not observed or reported by City staff and the photographs promised by the citizen have <br /> yet to arrive at our office. <br /> If you have questions or would like further information please do not hesitate to contact me. <br /> cc: Mayor Torrey & City Council <br />
