open territory. Turf wars over a basketball court and stray bullets are a real possibility. I <br /> hope you understand our perspective regarding your division's position in this potentiality. <br /> Lastly, in my opinion, the lack of effective communication between Eugene Parks Planning <br /> Department and families next to the park is fundamental to this issue. The last I heard was <br /> that a CDBG hearing was to occur many months ago- the results of which were never <br /> communicated. After such a long period of time, many of the people who live next to the <br /> park, including myself, believed that Acorn Park Phase Two went into the dead file. A <br /> number of working city park employees have often told me that "Phase Two" never <br /> happens. However, I became alarmed last week that something was up when I observed <br /> two contractor types out in the park. I immediately called and talked with John Long who <br /> confirmed Eugene Park's intention to put in a basketball court into Acorn Park. <br /> We were only able to spend a couple hours talking with neighbors regarding this petition. If <br /> given a week, I'm sure the numbers of folks who would sign would be much greater. This <br /> petition is the response to your actions by Eugene citizens most impacted by your <br /> decisions. Please let us know how we can be of further assistance in your efforts to gain a <br /> more accurate assessment of the needs of the Acorn Park neighborhood. <br /> Sincerel , <br /> 7 • c. <br /> Justin C.
