Page -3- <br /> With OTC's success in securing the 2008 Olympic Trials there is an imperative to finish <br /> the trail by Fall of 2007 and the corresponding trail amenities by Spring of 2008 when <br /> many competing athletes and other visitors will begin using the trail. <br /> Since Parks and Open Spaces has assumed control of the project, it is vitally important <br /> to OTC that the agency have the necessary funds to complete the project on schedule <br /> for the Olympic Trails. And completed to the high standards developed to insure the <br /> viability of this resource for the next 20 years. <br /> Once the restoration is complete the trail will need a minimum of $10,000 per year to <br /> maintain the bark topping. <br /> We hope and expect the end result of all this effort is a permanent memorial to the <br /> memory of Steve Prefontaine. We anticipate that Pre's Trail will serve the recreation <br /> needs of this community well into the future. And that Pre's Trail will remain a resource <br /> that brings us recognition and in which we can continue to take pride. <br /> Action Items <br /> Complete Before 2008 Olympic Trials: <br /> o Refer to Trail Completion Work Schedule <br /> Also the following amenities: <br /> o Inclusion of 3K, 4K, 5K cross back trails <br /> o Information Kiosks — 4 at trail heads and Autzen Bridge. These will serve <br /> as maps, history, and bulletin boards. <br /> o Mileage Markers (in discussion) - Possible low stone marker, to avoid <br /> mower problems, placed every 1 mile with smaller 1 /4 mile markers. <br /> o Directional Signs — Discrete signs indicating Pre's Trail at junctions. <br /> o Hwy Signs — announcing directions to Pre's Trail.
