I Just want to assure you that the linear park delineation does not infer land acquisition nor public access. It simply recognizes the high priority that we've heard expressed for a parks and recreation system that is strongly grounded in our .livers and ridges". We would want to look at a range of options in order to work with property owners and other stakeholders as to the best way to accomplish this. Options may include water trails (boating routes between select public open space areas), land trails, conservation easements, private partnerships, etc. It absolutely does not require solid public ownership of land on one or both sides of the river. The Comprehensive Plan is a broad plan which describes fairly general goals for parks, recreation and open space for the future. Any specific projects that would be implemented following plan adoption would also have to go through their own set of public involvement efforts. Also, the recommendation for the linear park in the current plan is taken directly from two pre-existing documents. One is the recent "Rivers to Ridges. regional parks and open space study (lCOG June 2003), and the other is the Eugene Parks and Recreation Plan that was adopted by City Council in 1989. We are hoping to get to the Planning Commission in May, but I don't believe a date has been set I can let you know when I have an exact date, but there will also be public notification. ---.Original Message----- From: Debbie Jeffries [maitto:djeffries@riverlidgeor.com] Sent: TuesdaYI March 08,2.0059:29 AM To: Andrea Riner.
