I `UGENE / 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: April 6, 2000 <br /> To: Rasor Park Interested Parties <br /> From: Andrea Riner, PWM Parks Planning Manager <br /> Subject: Rasor Park/River Road Cruise -In <br /> Thank you for your interest in Rasor Park. In response, we are providing you with a copy of a <br /> recent memo to the Mayor and City Council describing the decision - making process to date. <br /> Since it was prepared, Parks Planning staff have tentatively scheduled a park development <br /> planning process for Rasor Park, to begin later this year. Until an accepted development plan is <br /> in place, no additional planting will be allowed and, with the exception of this year's Cruise -In, <br /> no additional events will be held at the site. <br /> The primary goal of the park development process for Rasor Park will be to create a plan for the <br /> site that addresses the diverse needs and interests of the community it serves. Therefore, an <br /> extensive public outreach effort will be included to ensure that all interests are represented. Staff <br /> are preparing a preliminary list of stakeholders to be involved, including community members, <br /> neighborhood residents, and interest groups representing recreation, business, environmental, and <br /> other interests, as well as public officials, and City staff. Your name has been included in this <br /> interested party list. All community members will be invited to attend a series of workshops to <br /> meet the following objectives: <br /> • Create a vision for the park; <br /> • Identify key issues and areas of concern; <br /> • Establish site opportunities and constraints; and <br /> • Identify park and recreation priorities for future development. <br /> A preliminary issue scoping workshop is scheduled for September. Following that workshop, <br /> City staff will develop a concept plan based on the input received. Additional workshops will be <br /> scheduled to involve residents in evaluating and refining the concept plan. It is hoped that <br /> through this process, consensus on the best use for the park may be reached. <br /> Please feel free to contact me at 682 -4800 if you need additional information. <br />
