<br />A Petition for the Renovation of the Alton Baker Canoe Canal
<br />Everyone loves pond scum, right? Probably not, or the canoe canal at Alton Baker Park
<br />would be in more use. The canal is fed by the Willamette at ~west end of the park, and runs
<br />back into the Willamette near the duck ponds. When it was put in thirty years ago, it was meant to
<br />be used for ~ recreation, such as bird watching and canoeing. It may be used for those things
<br />now, but far letJ'frequently, due to the decline it has come under. Green algae cover much of the
<br />surface, and ugly blackberry bushes intrude from the sides of the river. Coupled with the ugly
<br />concrete and five-foot shelves in the middle of the river, it isn't a very desirable, or even safe,
<br />place to be. This could all change however, if the canal were to be changed into a whitewater park
<br />with a focus on also helping out the local wildlife. The concrete would be ripped out and replaced
<br />with boulders which, while creating an excellent habitat for fish, would also channel the current
<br />to create waves and rapids which could be utilized by kayakers, surfers, body boarders inner
<br />tubers, and swimmers. This could also increase tourism and make it possible to have kayaking
<br />and river surfing competitions held here in Eugene.@gning this petition says that you agree that
<br />the canoe canal should be made into a ecologically frIendly are while integrating rapids and
<br />waves into the canal which could be used recreationally. WE APPRECIATE YOUR
<br />SIGNATURES! ~.~ ~~
