376 Please stay away from that terrible 70's orange color that seems to be back. I was hoping it was gone for good. 1/30/2019 11:40 AM 377 save the building 1/30/2019 11:38 AM 378 In the video, where the red boiler is the space seems empty and unprogrammed, and it's hard to imagine how it would be used. It's critical IMO to have space that is active and draws in people 1/30/2019 11:34 AM 379 I would rent or buy living space in the upper floors in a heartbeat.1/30/2019 11:34 AM 380 keep in mind the habitat of the animals native to that area 1/30/2019 11:34 AM 381 I love it!1/30/2019 11:31 AM 382 Please tie the city to the riverfront!!1/30/2019 11:31 AM 383 Safety should be built in to the design because of the transient river population, active drug- addicted river population-ect. So that the project does not become a gathering place for at risk individuals who create safety situations in their daily survival. This will be a CENTRAL issue to the success of the completed project. 1/30/2019 11:28 AM 384 Eugene traditionally tears old buildings down. This needs to change. We need to preserve and re- use old buildings to keep Eugene's cultural past alive. 1/30/2019 11:28 AM 385 Beauty and art require financial sustainability 1/30/2019 11:26 AM 386 Community involvement 1/30/2019 11:24 AM 387 Layer it so that is has enough detail in function & aesthetic to be vibrant, interesting, useful and fun. Not stuffy - not a museum! 1/30/2019 11:23 AM 388 Connect the river front to the city using the classic trolleys used around the turn of the century. The trolley barn is San Jose, CA could be utilized to built those trolleys. 1/30/2019 11:20 AM 389 Why is this not being considered as a City Hall site? It is so obvious of a choice, and would save the City a lot of money. 1/30/2019 11:20 AM 390 Willing to consider some level of public funding to help with the preservation part of the project, e.g., urban renewal. 1/30/2019 11:20 AM 391 Provide direct access to the river from the steam plant, unlike the poor use of the river frontage in the other project. Direct frontage, plus access up river bank from boats. 1/30/2019 11:18 AM 392 I am excited to see the steam plant revitalized while keeping the history of the building. I would love to see history of the building exhibit inside. 1/30/2019 11:17 AM 393 Don't screw it up. Many cities have thriving public areas along their riverfronts. Eugene has yet to figure this out and take full advantage of this natural amenity that flows right through town. 1/30/2019 11:15 AM 394 I said my piece.1/30/2019 11:14 AM 395 This is of utmost importance to get right. Thank you for being thoughtful on the concept, keep that energy going through the finish line! I like how you are including the community and not just telling us what will be. Attention to detail at every phase will be important and making sure that we manage peoples expectations and hear their concerns when the project is finished will be crucial. In other words, we won't please everyone, and we may have to sell the idea of why we did this to some. I am excited for Eugene. 1/30/2019 8:14 AM 396 Safety and security are a primary concern when considering the creation of a public space. Although it's important to maintain accessibility for all, it may be beneficial to consider a design that allows for closure of certain areas, such as an outdoor cafe, after open hours. 1/29/2019 4:41 PM 397 parking Just visited Greenville South Carolina and their downtown district is AWESOME. They have a 28 mile path along the river with shops & restaurants, free trolley service, ample free 2- hour parking, public restrooms, places to rent bikes or kayaks, and the businesses are booming. I urge Eugene to look at this model! I would love to have nice places to sit by the river with some food or beer. https://www.sctrails.net/trails/trail/ghs-swamp-rabbit-trail 1/29/2019 11:19 AM 398 It appears to be a big metal box. My assumption is that it will be awfully loud with any kind of human traffic. Probably a good ide to consider sound attenuation treatments when designing the space. Of course, I really have no idea, as I’ve never been in the space. I could be completely off base. 1/29/2019 11:07 AM 399 I would love to see this space intentionally draw in and welcome income diversity 1/29/2019 10:49 AM 81 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
