Over a dozen neighbors attended and provided comments on proposed amenities, maintenance issues, and project priorities. Based on input received, staff has prepared a revised concept plan. The concept plan has been reviewed by City staff for stormwater and natural resources objectives. A final draft of the plan will be submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers and the Division of State Lands for a fill permit on a small delineated wetland, and for a City of Eugene Conditional Use Permit application. The first shipment of sandblasted slate donor tiles has been received and the tiles are being prepared for installation in the tree garden.
Work remaining includes planting drought-tolerant species.
Final plantings are expected to be completed by December 1. Construction Several work parties this summer by the Eugene Delta Rotarians have completed the installation of a paver stone pathway in the Rose Garden. The pathway is the location for a metal pergola structure planned for installation by the Rotarians later this year. As soon as a consultant is on board, a public workshop will be scheduled. Two separate donation projects are under way in the Rhododendron Garden to construct ornamental water features.
