Public Works Engineering has prepared a "Developer's Guide to Public Works Land Development Issues." The guide is <br /> available online at www.ci.eugene.or.us/PW/Engineering/devguide. Compact disks of the document also are available <br /> for a minimal fee at Public Works Engineering, 858 Pearl Street. <br /> An information session will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25, in the Les Lyle Conference Room at 858 Pearl, <br /> Street to give interested parties an opportunity to learn about the 255-page guide in detail. The purpose of this guide is <br /> to assist property owners and developers in understanding the most common Public Works issues that must be <br /> addressed in the process of dividing or developing land and to provide a general explanation of how to deal with those <br /> issues. <br /> For more information about the guide, please call Development Review Manager Peggy Keppler at 682-5291, or contact <br /> her by e-mail at peggy.a.keppler@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> Eugene Delta Rotary and Emerald Valley BMX Jump Obstacles to Improve Track <br /> Thanks to the recent efforts of volunteers from Eugene <br /> Downtown Rotary and Emerald Valley BMX, bikers will catch a ; .`` <br /> few more thrills and enjoy more attractive scenery at the BMX <br /> track,just south of Autzen Stadium in Alton Baker Park off - <br /> Leo Harris Parkway. <br /> ..n.• I <br /> According to Volunteers in Parks Coordinator Chris Girard, _=— <br /> who helped organize the work party a few weeks ago, the ' ' �• <br /> volunteers literally transformed the site. Using rakes and , <br /> shovels and heavy equipment, such as a backhoe, caterpillar <br /> and tractor, which were donated and operated by Wildish, <br /> Willamette Pass, Mike Jerot of Woodruff Nursery, Carl <br /> Oslund, Rotarians and Emerald Valley BMX volunteers rebuilt . <br /> and beautified the track by moving and raking dirt, grading, <br /> mowing, weeding, and cleaning up debris and invasive <br /> vegetation. Over 10 yards of blackberries and 10 yards of <br /> abandoned concrete were hauled from the site. <br /> Volunteers and heavy equipment create new tracks at <br /> Bill Cole, Rotarian coordinator of the project and owner of the BMX track in Alton Baker Park. <br /> Wheel Works, says the Eugene Downtown Rotary saw this as a great opportunity to serve the community. "It was <br /> relatively easy to mobilize our members and step up the appearance of this popular facility,"says Cole. <br /> While the Rotarians were cleaning up the grounds, volunteers from Emerald Valley BMX, including many young people, <br /> were creating a new track design—one that they hope will make the track more competitive and appealing to bikers. <br /> When Girard asked one young volunteer about what he thought about the improvements, he said, "Yea, it's like a real <br /> race track now."
