127 I'm excited for the investment into the community. Consider looking at Hotel Emma in San Antonio, it's a similar structure that is now a brewery, fancy library, and beautiful hotel. 2/14/2019 1:54 PM 128 It should incorporate design elements that speak to the spirit of the town; inspirations from outdoor life and fishing, Grateful Dead/Prankster culture, and Oregon Ducks sports to name a few 2/14/2019 1:51 PM 129 Eugene has used very little of the McKenzie river and it's a shame! to have a vibrant area with housing, restaurants and a park would be stellar! 2/14/2019 1:46 PM 130 Let's avoid any big chain restaurants or out of state money please! Let's keep this place local as much as possible. 2/14/2019 12:30 PM 131 you're doing a great job. Well done so far!2/14/2019 11:46 AM 132 This project is a fabulous idea, please move forward in collaborating to ensure it’s success!2/14/2019 11:06 AM 133 Let’s roll!2/14/2019 10:56 AM 134 It seems like a solution in search of a problem. The video has lots of hand-waving about who will actually use it. Build it and they will come - seems like a dubious strategy. I think the project needs a more focused vision; a problem that needs solving, a job that Eugene needs doing which can be undertaken by this building. 2/14/2019 10:52 AM 135 Hospitality is good for both local & tourist.2/14/2019 10:22 AM 136 There is a danger of making it too precious and by that move to limit its cultural connectivity.2/14/2019 10:14 AM 137 incorporate botanicals--trees/plants indoors, garden space outdoors 2/13/2019 10:08 PM 138 Eugene needs a multidisciplinary arts building to enable for permanent designated space that will accommodate nonprofit arts, music and dance programs. I think this is a great opportunity to consider this building for that purpose 2/13/2019 6:45 PM 139 This is an ambitious project and I would hate to see it work well at first and slowly degrade into a space like Kesey Square or the Park Blocks, which I seldom want to visit. A plan for maintenance and continued improvements would need to be in place, not just a grand plan to build then open the space. I would like to hear what those plans are and how the city will combat issues that often occur in public spaces while still being open to everyone. What are the goals after opening? We see timelines for development that just end with a star in the opening year, but what comes after that? Budget should be saved to help remedy unforeseeable obstacles. 2/13/2019 3:34 PM 140 space for public & lectures on environment and on local community 2/13/2019 3:17 PM 141 look at Oslo's cluster of museums, Norwegian Maritime, Fram & Kin Tiki. great examples!2/13/2019 3:09 PM 142 larger mix of uses 2/13/2019 3:01 PM 143 big deal worth saving 2/13/2019 2:58 PM 144 upper level lofts to purchase 2/13/2019 2:55 PM 145 native plantings 2/13/2019 2:53 PM 146 I am in 100% support of affordable housing but I don't think this is the correct site for it. this is a beautiful piece of riverfront property, keep it nice and historic 2/13/2019 2:50 PM 147 Noise abatement! create an atmosphere that is appealing to all ages 2/13/2019 2:32 PM 148 encourage visitors to have respect & reverence for the riverfront area, ie. enforcement of clean space, no leaving personal trash, belongings, tagging & defacing of property - no human waste, drug paraphernalia etc that marred the rest of Eugene. 2/13/2019 2:28 PM 149 look up web page kew bridge steam museum in London.2/13/2019 2:20 PM 150 buy EWEB and put city hall there 2/13/2019 2:14 PM 151 put city hall there 2/13/2019 2:07 PM 152 where will I park when I visit?2/13/2019 2:04 PM 153 Eugene is horrid at preserving historical buildings. lets change that!2/13/2019 1:46 PM 154 The river starts to really stink right around the steam plant, especially when tubing. What causes the foul smell? Is there a storm drain exit there? 2/13/2019 1:34 PM 70 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
