change. In a way, the bottom line is that there are too many <br /> people in Eugene for some. Most of the people who live in <br /> Eugene were not bom here and so live here by choice. Most <br /> would say the environment and park system was a significant <br /> factor in making Eugene a good place to live, work and retire. <br /> Appreciation needs to be given to the people who, two <br /> generations ago, raised the money to buy Amazon Park, and <br /> suggesting that in the face of continued growth, this <br /> generation needs to make an equal effort in order to maintain <br /> • <br /> the quality of what they were given. <br /> The growth issue, and issues such as whether it's better to <br /> have people travel to the edge of town (across the Ferry <br /> Street Bridge ?) to new athletic fields, are ones I hope we can <br /> get input on. How they get answered in this forum will be <br /> helpful in the types of proposals we make as we update not <br /> only the Amazon Park Development Plan, but the Eugene Parks <br /> and Recreation Plan. <br /> Two closing comments: I received several favorable comments <br /> about the fact that we held the meetings and how they were <br /> conducted; any suggests for changes are welcome and will be <br /> considered. Second, Doug Post and I have already felt moved <br /> to make some changes in what has been proposed based on the <br /> 4 testimony. The public will definitely see some changes the <br /> next time around. <br /> —John <br /> From: Medlin, Johnny <br /> To: Etter, John <br /> Subject: FW: Amazon Park Planning Meeting <br /> Date: Thursday, March 31, 1994 9:24AM <br /> John, looks like people are not comfortable with the process.
