commented that she thought these might be the logs that were brought in <br />for habitat — and that fire danger comes, typically, from dry grasses and <br />twigs. <br />Howie suggested that we add an agenda item for the next CPC <br />meeting if we want to move forward with any of these specific issues. <br />Vicky noted that along the west side of the Autzen footpath, there are <br />big chunks of erosion on the steep slope; some people ride mountain bikes <br />there. She suggested we place this on a list of issues to address. <br />Government Relations David Sonnichsen reported. <br />On April 30, the subcommittee met with Bob Beals of the UO Athletic <br />Department. Participants included Howie, Andy, and David from the CPC, <br />and Carolyn Weiss and Philip Richardson of POS, in addition to Bob Beals. <br />David reported that there was good communication, and that this <br />could lead to better coordination during football events. <br />One issue is the significant number of football fans crossing Harris <br />Parkway from the main UO Autzen lot and urinating in the WNA.

Catherine is <br />concerned that it may appear the trail is only for walking and not suitable <br />for wheelchairs. Catherine asked for signage reading that the path is <br />wheelchair accessible. <br />Pat stated that to label it accessible, the path would have to meet ADA <br />specifications, which it does not. Pat will look into other ways to indicate to <br />wheelchair riders that there are no steps on the path. <br />Willamalane is still working with ODOT on the failed plantings from <br />the Temporary Replacement Bridge project. MOT has agreed to install <br />new plantings. One of the issues is that there is still compacted gravel where <br />the trees were planted. <br />There was recently a Willamalane in -house meeting to begin <br />discussions on what Willamalane would like to see funded from the current <br />
