Introduction <br />The projects identified in this document are a result of over 3 years of <br />planning and public input in association with the Parks, Recreation & <br />Open Space Comprehensive Plan. <br />Public involvement was a major component of the planning process <br />with over 3,000 area residents participating. They represented every <br />neighborhood in the city and many different community groups, <br />sectors, interests, and initiatives. A Mayor's Advisory Committee, <br />made up of eleven community members, provided guidance and <br />direction throughout the entire process. <br />Initial outreach to community members was conducted to identify <br />their key issues, priorities, and perceived needs, A Community Needs <br />Assessment incorporated the findings from the various public <br />involvement activities and a technical analysis of current services. <br />The Community Needs Assessment, December 2004, is available <br />through the Parks and Open Space Division. <br />A city-wide public forum was then held to collect citizen input which <br />resulted in identification of potential projects and priorities. Following <br />an additional series of six public workshops, the projects and priorities <br />were further refined. <br />The Project and Priority Plan is intended to be a living document, and <br />as such, individual projects may be delayed if funding cannot be <br />identified within the shown timeline. Likewise, individual projects may <br />be moved forward if funding is identified earlier than shown in the <br />timeline. <br />2 City of Eugene PROS Project and Priority Pian <br />
