Prioritization Exercise <br />Workshop participants were asked to prioritize the projects by identifying their top 2 priority <br />improvements. Each participant was given an orange dot (1S priority) and a green dot (2nd <br />priority) to place next to the projects listed on the wallgraphic at the front of the room. The dots <br />help to understand what specific projects a majority of the workshop participants are supportive <br />of and which projects are not considered a priority. The dot placement was as follows: <br />■ Ballfields- 26 (13 orange dots and 13 green) <br />■ Natural resource improvements- 20 (14 orange and 6 green) <br />■ Dog park improvements- 11 (6 orange and 5 green) <br />■ Restrooms- 7 (3 orange, 4 green) <br />■ Bike and pedestrian access improvements- 3 <br />■ Jogging trail improvements- 3 <br />■ Unprogrammed open space- 3 <br />■ Tennis court improvements- 3 <br />■ Amazon Pool winterization- 3 <br />■ Bridges- 2 <br />■ Play area upgrades- 2 <br />The following projects received no dots, but will still be considered as potential components for <br />either park improvements, future planning goals, or current management improvements: <br />■ Picnic area upgrades <br />■ Interpretive facilities <br />■ Park acquisition <br />■ Aesthetic upgrades <br />■ Community garden <br />It should be noted that there was no support voiced for lighting ballfields, or for providing <br />additional paved parking. <br />Next Steps <br />Staff are synthesizing the results of the first workshop in order to develop an initial park <br />development program for Amazon Park. Objectives for the program include: <br />❑ Identifying which type and size of ballfield is most needed in this location. <br />Li Identify and provide information on potential creek and wetland enhancement projects. <br />❑ Address parking and access issues. <br />❑ Develop package of improvements addressing identified priorities for further public review. <br />A second public workshop will be held to present the initial plan to community members. The <br />meeting is proposed for sometime in November. <br />is <br />E U G E N E <br />Parks and <br />Open Space <br />Amazon Park 10/15/03 <br />Workshop 1 Report Page 5 <br />
