(Copy Attached) <br /> i ap~redate and fully support SEN's proposal for~us to collectively proceed <br /> with iboth the West Amazon acrd the Canyon Drive trail alignments as integral <br /> part$ of the City of Eugene's trail system. It is my hope that through this type <br /> of cooperative venture we can together provide better Park and Recreation <br /> services to the commun(ty. In our mapping and trail signage we will designate <br /> and treat these trail heads equally. <br /> Parks and open <br /> space Planning I also appreciate your understanding that the Parks and Open Space Division <br /> Parks Maintenance (POD) is limited .on committing limited trail resources on the West Amazon trait <br /> head at this time. The uncertainty of the final trail alignment through this area <br /> urban Forestry makes it difficult to justify expenditure of public funds on the current alignment. <br /> Wetlands and open Yours commitment to provide labor and materials to construct a pedestrian <br /> waterways bridge and provide volunteer labor for long term maintenance of the current <br /> alignment makes the West Amazon Trail head much more viable. While it will <br /> be liri~ited, (would expect that some support for your efforts on the West <br /> Ama(~on alignment will be available through our Volunteer in Parks program. <br /> Regarding the Canyon Drive Traiihead. We are moving forward to have the <br /> trail ftuiit by contract using the streamside alignment alternative as suggested <br /> in yoj~r letter. We accept your offer of SEN providing the design grid volunteer <br /> Iabor~to construct the firidge. Once you have a bridge design please submit it <br /> to us~for review and approval. After the design is approved POS commits to <br /> fumi~h ail bridge construction materials. Ofi course, if you find the opportunity <br /> of donations for these types of materials that would also would be <br /> appreciated. <br /> t loop forward to working with you on this project. i - <br /> Sincareiy, <br /> Johnny R.
