174 Having multiple food booths with choice of local food and beverages that appeal to a broad spectrum of people, and can be taken outside in an eating area not designated to one restaurant. The space outside should belong to the visitors, not one cafe or restaurant. 2/12/2019 10:15 AM 175 Please make this accessible...restaurant with reasonably priced whole locally sourced food...highlight the agricultural aspects of our community possibly incorporating local farms and producers...not the exclusive expensive 5th St model but somewhere average wage earners can have a drink or pick up some lettuce. PLEASE consider a COVERED outdoor space with earth elements....river is already water, fire pit, kinetic art would highlight air and garden or rock (maybe climbing, stargazing area) would nod to earth. Please no upscale design...simple and earthy. 2/12/2019 9:25 AM 176 The proposal doesn't look very creative. Spice it up a bit.. you have big windows, get some creative colored lighting going. It is cheap and will make the building stand out. 2/12/2019 8:49 AM 177 I would like to see the commercial spaces be relevant to the public (crafts/arts, locally made items) and open to the public (retail/food) and not closed office spaces that are not relevant to the public use of the building. 2/12/2019 1:09 AM 178 I wish it explained someplace on the website why proposal #2 was chosen over the others. I notice the entire team of 10 members appears to be 100% White men--seriously?--this does not earn community trust. The rendering of the overlook looks ugly to my eye--an intrusive disruption of the riparian edge. 2/12/2019 12:32 AM 179 Parking is difficult in this area, need appropriate amount of bike racks.2/11/2019 10:11 PM 180 Using steam to heat the building would be excessively cool.2/11/2019 8:47 PM 181 I'm so excited about the possibilities, I hope the area feels safer when more people are out and about here. 2/11/2019 4:47 PM 182 Revitalization along the riverfront is extremely important to the City of Eugene for the future.2/11/2019 4:24 PM 183 Please do not pave over all the river frontage!! Please make it rich with plants, biodiversity, quiet spaces, and places for wildlife to share also! 2/11/2019 3:28 PM 184 The steam plant was a central fixture in town, providing heat for the city. It is much like the Foundry building (sam bonds brewery) and mills. It is something that has a story and should be recognized and valued for this reason. It is obviously cheaper and more cost effective to put up a concrete box but that doesn't have a story. ;-) 2/11/2019 3:00 PM 185 I would like to see a restaurant that features the best of Eugene food and beverage, rather than any one specific brewery. 2/11/2019 2:53 PM 186 A rooftop bar is sorely needed in this town. Kinda sad there's only one and it's new.2/11/2019 2:33 PM 187 Once the project commences, there may be unforeseen circumstances that present themselves such as hazardous materials. The only concern that there is enough of a cushion financially to deal with unexpected issues that may come up on the job site. 2/11/2019 1:32 PM 188 Considering tenants/occupants, I think the biggest question to ask is, what kinds of innovative tenants/formats will best serve Eugene? How does it become something that helps redefine our community engagement? What needs should the space and project satiate? Eugene has a dearth of great public spaces for rent/gathering. A flexible open space for multi-use would be an amazing asset (events/gatherings/venue/parties/retreats/workshops/off-sites). 2/11/2019 1:12 PM 189 Use of local design and construction teams 2/11/2019 1:06 PM 190 If public funds (including tax breaks) are used for the project at all, then there should be quality public space. Preservation of the steam plant is not a good use of public funds if the place is limited to offices and an exclusive restaurant space. If you want public funds, the design should spill out into the park on the river and there should be opportunity to sit and read, talk, or whatever you want to do without being required to purchase food/beverages or lease an office there. 2/11/2019 1:02 PM 191 Make a strong connection between the buildings usable space and the walkways and park space surrounding it. Have an inviting open relationship between the interior and exterior. 2/11/2019 12:49 PM 192 Please help create more accessible waterfront that will inspire residents and visitors to linger in the downtown area - but spaces where encampments and panhandling and assaults or fear of assaults don't drive us out. 2/11/2019 12:46 PM 193 d 2/11/2019 11:27 AM 194 Do it soon!!!!2/11/2019 10:27 AM 72 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
