Please type your email address <br />below or write us at placesforpeople@ci.eugene.or.us <br />33.4% of respondents mentioned an organization that had to <br />do with either the homeless (e.g. Cahoots) or with enforcing <br />laws to control negative behaviors in the downtown (the police <br />department). <br />Q32: Any last ideas or comments to help us make the down- <br />town public spaces more safe, vibrant and welcoming? <br />(955 responses) <br />Half of the comments pertained to negative behaviors and/or <br />enforcing laws to prevent them. Approximately 46.5% men- <br />tioned problems with homeless people, vagrants and travelers. <br />Examples of comments: <br />“Thanks for doing this. I grew up in Eugene and remember when <br />downtown was a complete dump, it really was. It feels like peo- <br />ple actually care now, and this attention is greatly appreciated.” <br /> “We can’t “hug out” the behavior problems in downtown. There <br />needs to be a minimum expectation of behavior and some city <br />ordinances that prohibit many of the negative behaviors down- <br />town. Until this happens, it doesn’t matter how many places you <br />make, no one will come.” <br />89 <br /> <br />
