No, it isn't too late for your input. We have had both internal as well as external <br /> input sessions but we are not so far along that we can't accept more. During our drop-in session a couple of <br /> months ago, we got a lot of positive feedback and support for the project. A number of innovative ideas like <br /> your have been suggested. Both those sessions and the process we used to review options for the lower <br /> Amazon Project (Corp restoration project) are providing valuable information for the two projects. As you recall <br /> the ISTEA project begins at Bailey Hill and ends at Spectra Physics. The Corp project begins on the north side <br /> of the SP tracks and ends near Royal and Greenhill. Both projects will accomplish multiple goals as outlined in <br /> CSWMP , West Eugene Wetland plan, bike master plan, and park plan. <br /> It sounds like you have multiple goals for the Amazon Creek. I'll be glad to set up a meeting with you and <br /> division staff to brief you on our progress, options we are presently considering, and how we might include your <br /> proposals. Do you have any particular time you'd prefer to meet? Would you like anyone else on the Council to <br /> attend? I'm thinking that Councilor Farr might be interested due to the lower Amazon project proximity to both <br /> wards. How about Councilor Keller given her interest in the upper Amazon? Let me know what you would like <br /> and we will put it together.

I'm <br /> writing you now because I see your name (and Diane's) in neighborhood newsletters. <br /> As far back as four years ago I've been telling people my ideas for addressing west Eugene's need for more <br /> parks and open space in concert with the proposed Amazon enhancements. Although I've asked several times <br /> to be involved in planning from the earliest point possible, I'm concerned that my interest and ideas have fallen <br /> through the cracks. As a City Council member, my focus is usually divided among a half dozen or more urgent <br /> and long-term.issues, so I'm not asking to be part of a hands-on work group, for example. But I do have some <br /> big-picture anr3'bticy ideas that should be addressed. I don't want to throw this at you "cold", and understand <br /> that you'll probably want to get a better picture of what's behind this communication. I'll take a few minutes to <br /> provide some info ... <br /> The Amazon Canal corridor is providing less than it could in the way of recreation or outdoor opportunities and <br /> Page 1 <br />
