Item A: City Council Priority Issue - City Hall Complex

Home Browse Search

Design: the diagonal pathway is in my opinion a $30 million albatross, that if incorporated would become a community embarrassment. There are other less costly and more effective ways of linking the City Hall to Willamette Street, Hult Center, and the Hilton Hotel. The greatest community benefit that I voted for is the Butterfly lot. But, I prefer the Sears site overall. Patrol in a separate building Use and repair park block Repair building next to City Hall (north) by building with simple form Sustainable design One thing that bothers me on the butterfly lot is putting something relatively dead fronting Willamette Street; there should be retail or something else along that edge that fosters more interaction Sense of place: o Eugene o North Valley o Oregon While the council chamber is seen as circular and at floor level, I feel having an elevated chamber to look at the Hult Center on a 3rd or 4th floor elevation would bring more people to feel on top of public activity, rather than settle the positive and negative situations as handled and dedicated to police management. Other: if you concentrate all public offices in one place you run the risk of shutting down the entire government should there be a fire, bomb threat, or contamination event. Other -Sears site with no police functions on site.
