The project will involve using powered <br /> wheelbarrows, a powered loading device, and plate compactors to load, move, and compact the final 30 <br /> yards of gravel necessary to finish the trail. The Rotarians began work on the trails last fall and have <br /> held regular work parties monthly since. These efforts are part of a larger restoration and recreation <br /> effort underway at Delta Ponds, funded by the City, the Army Corps of Engineers and several other local <br /> and state partners. <br /> Work will take place off of Goodpasture Island Road just south of Kingsley Road (parking is <br /> available just south of the apartment complex on the east side of the road). Water, proper footwear and <br /> appropriate clothing are recommended. Instruction, tools and snacks will be provided. To sign up or for <br /> more information about this and other park improvement projects, call the City's Volunteers in Parks <br /> program at 682-4845, e-mail volunteersinparks(d~ci.eugene.or.us or visit <br /> www.ci.eugene.or. us/parks/maint/vip. htm. <br /> <br />
