lighting on this site, should be directed to developing new fields at existing park sites or a future site. Lights for night play at those fields would be needed to fully replace the playing capacity that Kincaid Field had. 10. Overflow parking--west of the Hilyard Center, needed in the summer when the pool is operating. The rough mow turf and access points makes for parking convenient to pool users and athletes using the fields. Without that parking, the areas designed for use by Hilyard Center patrons parking are taken over. The field area was only graded once, at the time of creek channelizing, seeded to a course fescue grass, and rough mowed. Close mowing in recent years has allowed athletic play on part of the area. Given the nature of the soil, any compaction is released during the shrink-swell cycle--within one year. 11. Jogging Trail Turnaround--A loop is to be constructed at the south end of the adidas Jogging Trail so that one mile can be run on the half mile of trail proposed for immediate illumination. At a point in time when a second bridge would allow the east half of the trail to be moved to the east side of the creek to a lighted bicycle/pedestrian corridor, the loop could be removed. The 1500 meter loop turnaround, shown in the June draft with an associated curbside path along the parkway, has been deleted due to lack of support from the running community. A separate start/finish point will allow 1000 meter runs during trail illuminated hours. 12. Amazon Creek Riparian Zone Enhancements--The creek may be widened at various locations as conceptually shown on the plan; final plans would probably vary from what is shown. This will be done under the objectives of expanding biological diversity, and creating biofiltration capacity for improving the water quality in the creek. Some opening of storm lines as they outfall into the creek could be a part of this enhancement. 13. Bridges over the Amazon Creek--will accommodate relocating the east half of the jogging trail to the east side of the creek. The benefits of this are: 1. to remove an impact to the natural relationship between Amazon Creek and the ash forest; 2. combine the jogging path into a corridor that will eventually be lighted as part of the bicycle transportation system; and 3. allow an uninterrupted expansion of the main ash forest south and east across the creek. 14. Benches and trees along the bike path and jogging trail-- to provide opportunities for resting. Some proposed trees shown in the June draft have been removed to further accommodate kite flying. 15. Path connection to the Hilyard Center--for improved accessibility between the center and the bike path. 6
