Strategv 1: Install waste receptacles and park signs. (high priority) <br />1.1 Immediately install park identity signs, dog waste facilities, and garbage receptacles near the <br />curb cut on River Road and near the bikepath. Lower the bikepath sign at the Stephen's <br />Drive entrance so that it has human scale. <br />1.2 Consider installing additional signs at the same locations, or attached to the park identity <br />sign, explaining the new vision and mission of the park and invite volunteers to participate in <br />restoration projects. Avoid proliferation of signs throughout the park. <br />Strategv 2: Install park benches and picnic tables in strategic locations. (high <br />priority) <br />2.1 Install a couple of park benches along the mowed savanna-prairie paths, and a couple of <br />picnic tables near the bikepath as indicated on the concept plan, and at the edge of the mowed <br />area. <br />2.2 Consider natural seating in the unmowed areas, using river stones or split logs. <br />2.3 Place large river stones for sitting at the top of the revetment in the open area near the <br />apartments on the north end of the park. <br />Strategv 3: Implement screening and buffering elements of the design. (high <br />priority) <br />3.1 As a high priority and integral part of the planting plan prescribed in Section 7.2, Strategy <br />1.2, work with volunteers to continue planting native trees and shrubs along the park edges <br />and especially adjacent to the southern boundary, while maintaining the fire protection strip. <br />3.2 As a part of the screening and buffering project, define the mowed open space with <br />naturalistic clusters of trees and varying canopies near the Graffiti Alley property, in <br />association with the community gathering place, around the park staging area (NW corner of <br />the mowied area), and around the "sacred space" in the southeast corner of the park. <br />3.3 Placement of trees will be carefully planned to preserve the open space and extended views <br />through the park. <br />Strategv 4: Develop a design theme and specifications for the interpretive and <br />environmental education program to promote restoration, rehabilitation, and <br />enhancement goals of the plan. <br />4.1 Develop an interpretive plan for the park, and design and install interpretive facilities <br />including signs, wayside exhibits, and information kiosks. <br />Rasor Park Master Plan 26 City of Eugene, Parks Planning <br />
