The park improvement effort is funded by the Parks and Open Space bond measure voters <br /> approved in 1998. <br /> The workshop is the first in a series of workshops designed to solicit input from the community <br /> about how the park could be improved and any specific issues and challenges the new design should <br /> address. City park planners plan to incorporate this feedback from neighbors into the final design of the <br /> park so that the park truly reflects the needs and vision of the local community. <br /> Park planning staff are also working with the City of Eugene Water Resources Team to design <br /> stormwater and water quality enhancement projects in the area. Some of the proposed projects include <br /> alleviating flooding on Martin Street and restoring the main channel of Amazon Creek by preventing <br /> erosion and increasing the quality of the habitat. <br /> For more information, call 682-4915. <br />
