Q8 What else would you like the project team and/or Eugene City Council to know or consider regarding the proposal? Answered: 684 Skipped: 235 #RESPONSES DATE 1 Art studios! Please consider this some how, some way.2/21/2019 9:43 AM 2 The city needs a whitewater kayak park. This would be a cool place to create one.2/21/2019 9:37 AM 3 Please think outside the box. This is an opportunity to build a cutting edge community space that would draw people, especially young scientists/artists/programmers/innovators to our city. This proposal misses the mark by not taking advantage of this opportunity. 2/20/2019 10:32 PM 4 The City of the Arts and Outdoors would be remiss in thinking that its identity-equity would be better spent striving to be the city of breweries and office parks, which is already being done elsewhere, than in confirming its dedication to the arts and the outdoors. 2/20/2019 7:17 PM 5 Make it a space for all especially for the arts community in Eugene.2/20/2019 6:06 PM 6 I find this project exciting and a wonderful investment in our community. I'm very happy to hear about plans to incorporate creative and cultural components to the project. I feel that providing opportunities for the public to creatively engage builds connection among our community. Thank you for taking this into consideration. 2/20/2019 3:34 PM 7 Keep it public, affordable, beautiful. Maintain the integrity of the architecture and era, use that as the theme. 2/20/2019 1:54 PM 8 Eugene has a great town "center" right now and it would be great if the project enhanced Eugene's appeal while at the same time not compete with down town... 2/20/2019 1:26 PM 9 Please make it for everyone - inclusive, interactive!2/20/2019 11:57 AM 10 Performing arts space for communal use 2/20/2019 11:07 AM 11 You guys should probably focus on housing the homeless.2/20/2019 10:53 AM 12 Thank you!2/20/2019 10:52 AM 13 Make it environmentally-focused and celebrating/working in harmony with the natural beauty that is the river. 2/20/2019 10:52 AM 14 Consider an interactive art or children's (and adults) museum component - similar to the City Museum in St. Louis, MO. 2/20/2019 10:11 AM 15 It is imperative that the space is designed as a public space and incorporates, at a foundational level, access to arts & culture. If the Steam Plant is seeking massive public subsidy, it cannot be another micobrewery with a view, nor a scenic office building with a "community room." This needs to be a space which is inviting to anyone in the area, not only those with $7 to spend on a pint of beer or a few thousand to spend on renting an impressive office on the river. 2/20/2019 10:01 AM 16 I strongly urge the team to consider the importance of the arts in a cultural building such as this, not in the nature of a few static displays but as an opportunity to engage the community and bring them to the space through changing exhibitions, installations and performances. 2/20/2019 9:03 AM 17 Demolish the 20th-Century Industrial/Extractive/Pollution Steamplant image of Eugene. Start Over. Don't waste $25 Million on faux-Industrial Cleanup. Restore and enhance the Riverfront to welcome people using all forms of healthy and non-motorized transport. Build Up for Public Viewing Attraction. FOCUS DESIGN UTILITY ON BEING A CENTER OF SOMETHING!!! Be straight with citizens; promote construction bonds as if a new Sports (2021) Stadium; put this public project to a vote before any construction! 2/20/2019 7:45 AM 18 Please be sensitive to ecological integrity of sensitive riparian areas. The relatively undeveloped riverfront of the Willamette River is a unique asset for the city and I hope that development balances cultural and social space with this ecological value. 2/20/2019 1:02 AM 65 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
