diverse needs, the City wants to hear from Eugene residents of all ages, abilities, and interests. "We want residents to <br /> play an active role in how parks and recreation services are provided in the future," says Parks and Open Space Planning <br /> Manager Andrea Riner. "We need to listen to residents to really know what the community wants and needs." <br /> :he current plan, created in 1989, is outdated. The new plan will build upon current planning efforts, providing a vision for <br /> facilities and services, as well as practical steps for achieving that vision. The open house is one of several opportunities <br /> residents will have to provide input. A community survey will be conducted this fall to get residents' ideas about park and <br /> recreation needs. Mayor Torrey has appointed an advisory committee to help guide the 18-month comprehensive <br /> planning process with an interdisciplinary committee of City staff serving as the project management team.
