West Alton Baker Park. The hope was that by summer 2012 they would have something <br />built. <br />Mr. Sonnichsen asked if the layout of the disc golf course was progressing. <br />Mr. Richardson said there was not yet a layout. The successful bidder on the RFP would have a <br />large say in the layout, as long as it met the City's criteria. He did not think the layout would be <br />radically different from what has been used recently. <br />Mr. Richardson continued with his staff report: <br />• The North Bank project was moving forward. They were currently waiting on permit <br />applications, which were expected to be approved in the next few weeks. Construction <br />was planned for the third quarter of this year, possibly by July 2012. <br />• Lee Shoemaker said there were funds available for more way - finding signage within <br />Alton Baker Park. He thought there was enough money to do three locations. <br />Regarding the way - finding signs for the park, Mr. Richardson said the City was asking the CPC <br />for ideas or suggestions for the locations of signs and destinations that should be on the signs. He <br />said because it was a large park they needed suggestions on where to direct people. <br />Ms. Mello thought it might be wise to wait until 2014, especially in the "A area, because there <br />were so many detours due to freeway bridge work and some of the detour routes would be taken <br />out. Last year a woman who attended a Cuthbert event had discussed putting way - finding signs <br />close to the canoe canal bridge, south of Autzen Stadium. She told them she wanted to be <br />contacted before they chose where to put signs. She had not heard back from them and hoped she <br />was still on their contact list as chair of the Signage Committee. <br />Mr. Richardson said to contact him if anyone had ideas or suggestions for signs. <br />Ms. Behm spoke regarding the football parking, and said now they have baseball parking. She <br />said the parking lots were completely full when there was a baseball game because Autzen <br />Stadium charged for parking. She said the lots should not be full and the CPC needed to address <br />it. <br />Ms. Mello said it was going to get worse because they had to move the soccer /lacrosse field into <br />the Autzen parking lot for the stadium because Pape' field was being taken over. <br />Ms. Brand wondered if they could find out what the parking plan or official policy was for P K <br />Park, home stadium for UO and Emeralds baseball. <br />Mr. Richardson said he could find out what the parking policy was and get that information to the <br />CPC. <br />b. Willamalane <br />Mr. Hyde said that in the Eastgate Woodlands there had been work parties on Saturdays <br />sponsored by Friends of Trees, continuing their work in removing invasives.
