Local group collecting signatures to defeat golf course
j Initiative would ban Lane
County commissioners from
going ahead with a propos
al to build a golf course in
Alton Baker Park
By Hope Nealsof
A l.ugene group opposed to u pro
pose.) golf course in Alton linker Park
Inis been collecting sigiuiluri's around
rumpus to g«-l an initiative on th« ballot
that would prohibit construction of the
course in the park's eastern section
Sharon Teague a member at Alton
Baker for Alt of l s, said a number of
reasons exist for opposing a golf course
in the park
It is ,i park, she said It was set
aside as a p.irk and should remain as a
park
league said her primary reason lor
not wanting the course is that she favors
keeping the natural habitat intact
league uses the heavily wooded area
to educate children participating in the
non-profit group, Nearby Nature, which
offers ( lasses that teach wildlife mfor
mution lirst hand
Teague suiii iht-1 urea has also been
used b\ elementary school classes to go
on nature walks
The 237-acre set lion currenlh in
titules meadows, woodlands, old filbert
ort hards, riparian forests, a pond, a i .1
noe canal, hike trails, a fiMX truck and
liie Pro's Trail
About 70 ac res overlies the old Dav
Island Landfill, a residential landfill
that vvas closed in 1M7-1
League said putting a golf course on
top of an old landfill could pose an en
vironmental threat if hazardous materi
als rise to the surfac e
We're trying to do
something that would
make it an attractive
entrance to the park,
and I don't think it’s
going to be left in its
undeveloped state —
There will be some kind
of development.’
