Box 1588 <br /> a division of Public Works Eugene, OR 97440 <br /> 1820 Roosevelt Blvd. <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97402 Dear Kevin: <br /> (541) 682 -4800 <br /> (541) 682 -4882 Fax Type your letter here. <br /> www.ci.eugene.ocusipwlparks <br /> This letter is in response to your letter of June 10, 2003 representing the <br /> Southeast Neighbors Association (SEN). (Copy Attached) <br /> appreciate and fully support SEN's proposal for us to collectively proceed <br /> with both the West Amazon and the Canyon Drive trail alignments as integral <br /> parts of the City of Eugene's trail system. It is my hope that through this type <br /> of cooperative venture we can together provide better Park and Recreation <br /> services to the community. In our mapping and trail signage we will designate <br /> and treat these trail heads equally. <br /> Parks and Open <br /> Space Planning I also appreciate your understanding that the Parks and Open Space Division <br /> Parks Maintenance (POS) is limited on committing limited trail resources on the West Amazon trail <br /> head at this time. The uncertainty of the final trail alignment through this area <br /> Urban Forestry makes it difficult to justify expenditure of public funds on the current alignment. <br /> Your commitment to provide labor and materials to construct a pedestrian <br /> Wetlands and Open bridge and provide volunteer labor for long term maintenance of the current <br /> Waterways <br /> alignment makes the West Amazon Trail head much more viable. While it will <br /> be limited, I would expect that some support for your efforts on the West <br /> Amazon alignment will be available through our Volunteer in Parks program. <br /> Regarding the Canyon Drive Trailhead. We are moving forward to have the <br /> trail built by contract using the streamside alignment alternative as suggested <br /> in your letter. We accept your offer of SEN providing the design and volunteer <br /> labor to construct the bridge. Once you have a bridge design please submit it <br /> to us for review and approval. After the design is approved POS commits to <br /> furnish all bridge construction materials. Of course, if you find the opportunity <br /> of donations for these types of materials that would also would be <br /> appreciated. <br /> look forward to working with you on this project. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Johnny R. Medlin <br /> Director <br /> EUGENE <br />
