Since that time, city <br />staff has endeavored to provide neighborhood and community residents relevant <br />information about the trail plan. Specific outreach efforts have included the <br />~~. - __ <br />following: <br />• Informed all residents within a radius of approximately 500 feet of the <br />trailhead by letter in August'2002; <br />• Provided information to interested parties, including you and your neighbor, <br />Teresa O'Caer, at several junctures in the planning process; <br />• Various staff have discussed issues with you via multiple phone calls and e- <br />mails; <br />• Attended a meeting of the Southeast Neighbors (SEN) boazd in August of last <br />year; <br />• Prt;sented trail planning progress at the SEN general meeting this past April; <br />• Conducted two special meetings at your request, one last summer at your <br />residence and one this spring at the City; <br />• Facilitated afollow-up site visit this spring through the proposed alternate <br />route with our trail consultant Larry Wilson. <br />Through discussions with you, other adjacent neighbors and the SEN neighborhood <br />representatives, we were made aware of concerns about parking, trai~c, natural <br />resource impacts, and privacy loss. City staff understands these concerns, and the <br />project has been designed to minimize these kinds of neighborhood impacts as much <br />as possible. In addition, we thoroughly evaluated the proposed alternate route to the <br />west, which is already in use. Unfortunately, as we have explained, this proposal <br />was seriously deficient in a number of critical areas. Although the trail is not <br />adequate to serve as the sole, official route to the ridgeline system, we support the <br />continued use and improvement of that route. ,This information was provided to the <br />neighborhood as part of our presentation at last April's SEN general meeting. <br />
