16. An additional bank of four tennis courts are proposed in the Eugene Parks and Recreation Plan for construction on School District 4-J property, and are shown immediately south of the existing four courts. Like the existing courts, they will be lighted to allow for night play until about 10:30 p.m. Parking associated with this addition would utilize the parking area across the street by the ball field, or the one street (curbside) parking. 17. Amazon pool--rebuilt as a year-round aquatic center when deteriorating conditions demand major renovation. As an aquatic center, it might expand beyond the present fenced area, but not so much as to impact other above grade park improvements or activity spaces. 18. Connection of 30th Avenue sidewalk from Ferry Street to Amazon Bike Path--Not on recent plans, this was shown in earlier park development plans, and is needed for both bikes and pedestrians. Sight distance and grade considerations suggest that a small piece of adjacent property may need to be acquired to allow for a properly designed solution. The July draft plan has four other graphic symbols describing the following: A double square represents lights along the west half of the present jogging trail that would be funded by donations and volunteer efforts in the near future. Fixtures and poles would be identical to that used outside the Hilyard Center, 2580 Hilyard Street. Lighting the "street side" of the trail was seen as an acceptable compromise, leaving the creek side of the trail unlit so as to not adversely impact nocturnal animal life. Further, lights would be on a photocell with timer override so that lights would remain off between 9:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. To reduce the impact of the light on the natural areas, the lenses facing the woods would be silvered. Lights would be spaced at 3 per 100 meters to serve as distance markers for runners. A single square is shown that represents lighting along other paths in the park. This would be the same fixture, but installed as part of the transportation system, and not be installed until other funding is obtained. As a part of the transportation system, it would operate all night. Respective of the nocturnal animal life along the creek and woods, the lenses facing in those directions would also be silvered to reduce lighting those area. Treed areas highlighted with diagonal hatching are targeted areas for expanding the ash forest. Numerous arrows are shown where significant view sheds exist and should be preserved by not planting trees or erecting structures. Included are views to Spencer Butte, Skinner Butte, the 7
