This is due in large part to the vision that created <br />,.some of the first paved cycling trails in the country, right here in Eugene and Springfield. And in <br />fact, the riverbank trails are the "crown jewels" to a welkonnected and popular bicycling <br />network for visitors and residents alike. <br /> <br />CV Alea has promoted mountain biking, road touring, cycling events and bicycle manufacturers <br />for more than 15 years. One of the first cycling loops, complete with its own popular brochure, <br />was a route from Eugene to Salem and back connecting the riverbank trail system to River Road <br />on the way to Junction City and beyond. We continue to promote this loop and appreciate the <br />added safety that this proposed connection under Beltline would alfow. ' <br /> <br />The riverbank trail system is an important destination in the Eugen~ and Springfield area and <br />any extension or improvement will only make it more desirable. I encourage ODOT and FHW A <br />to fund this project. <br /> <br />, Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ \~~0 <br /> <br />Natalie Inouye <br />Vice Presidenf of Tourism Marketing <br /> <br />r' <br /> <br />Letter of support for the <br />WEST BANK TRAIL EXTENSION, <br />formerly called Division! <br />River Avenue Bikeway. <br />
