The most cited user conflict was between bicycles and pedestrians, but user conflicts between pedestrians and runners were also noted. The Ridgeline Trail and the Amazon Headwaters Trail were the areas that were most commonly cited for crowding and user conflict. General public safety concerns included off-leash dogs, illegal camping along trail corridors, and auto break-ins at trailheads . Page 16 Eugene Trails Plan -2018
