David mentioned that Howie, Sally, and David did a walk through the <br />WNA with Rep. Nancy Nathanson and her husband. They looked at points <br />of interest, including the Autzen Path "choke point." The letter from the <br />CPC supporting HB 3224 was a result of the walk. Howie asked that the <br />letter be attached to the meeting minutes. <br />I -5 Update David explained that the ODOT CAG (Community Advisory <br />Group) meeting, scheduled for yesterday, had been canceled. He explained <br />that some CAG members expressed disagreement with the cancellation, as <br />the group often does not have time to complete discussions on important <br />matters. <br />Charlotte stated that both the CAG and the Project Design Team (PDT) <br />voted to have only one pair of piers in the main channel of the river. There <br />could be a second pair near the south side of the river. Charlotte also <br />reported that an ODOT design engineer told her that there is money to <br />straighten out the bike path in the WNA where the path passes beneath I -5 <br />adjacent to the canoe canal. <br />6. Subcommittee reports <br />Signage. Sully Nunn reported. <br />The subcommittee met with Justin Grishkin on June 15 in the WNA to <br />discuss the kiosk location near the Knickerbocker Bridge. Charles, Vicky, <br />David, Sally, and Charlotte attended. The committee eliminated the vernal <br />pool option. In the end, they decided upon the NNE end of the bridge. <br />A concern is not to have the kiosk block the site line of cyclists coming <br />off the bridge going north. They must be able to see cyclists coming from <br />Springfield heading west. <br />There was discussion of gravel vs. a concrete pad. The committee said <br />that if it had to be concrete, it would be good to have it textured and <br />perhaps with some coloring. <br />Charlotte added that the Signage Subcommittee wanted signs on the <br />bottom of all panels that say dogs must remain on- leash. She added that <br />there is room on all panels for the additional signs. <br />Howie asked if these agreements should be put in writing. Carolyn <br />said that POS is O.K. with the current understanding. <br />Lauri added that the target construction date is September 2007. <br />Outreach Charlotte Behm reported. <br />The Outreach subcommittee has met three times concerning the <br />EVBMX situation. The first time they met to assemble a list of concerns and <br />recommendations prior to a meeting with Kevin Finney, head of <br />maintenance for Eugene POS. <br />
