Three new running trail segments are proposed to be sited parallel to portions of the Willamette River path network. The configuration would be similar to the West D Street Greenway example in Springfield shown above. 5. 7 Designa t ed Running Trails Although runners commonly use most of the paths and trails within Eugene's system , there are currently 9.1 miles of bark- surfaced trails that are designed and designated specifically for runners . These include the Pre 's Trail in Alton Baker Park, the Amazon Park Running Trail, the Upper Amazon Running Trail along Amazon Creek in south Eugene, a short loop t rail in Petersen Park, and a short segment in Westmoreland Park. Many of these trails have measured loops and distance markers and all are surfaced with bark . The Upper Amazon Running Trail, which currently has significant drainage and surfacing issues, is scheduled to be upgraded in 2017 to a standard sim 'ilar to the Pre's Trail. This project will be implemented in conjunction with other planned bicycle and pedestrian improvements in that corridor. The Trails Plan proposes an additional 11.4 miles of designated running trail. This includes a new two- mile loop trail in Golden Garden Park (Project 30), a new one-mile loop trail in Santa Clara Park (Project 37), a new half-mile loop at Bethel Community Park (Project 44), full reconstruction of the 3.5-mile Upper Amazon Running Trail (Project 42), and three additional running trail segments to be installed parallel to portions of the Willamette River path network (Projects 31, 32, and 33). Several of these new running trails will better serve residents of north Eugene, which currently lacks these facilities. The three proposed running trail segments along the Willamette River will also help alleviate congestion on the adjacent hard -surface paths (see example above). Page 42 Eugene Trails Plan -2018
