400 Try to incorporate businesses that are different from the already established surrounding ones. No breweries or brew pubs - instead focus on a more niche style of retail or restaurant. 1/29/2019 9:46 AM 401 Need greater creative thinking on this project. There see s to be no innovation in the plan,1/28/2019 11:29 PM 402 Why would you consider a brewery? There's a nice one right there already. Are the Project team local "leaders" considering the surrounding businesses? 1/28/2019 10:35 PM 403 Don’t make it look like Southern California with boring, vapid architecture. Keep the tress and natural beauty. 1/28/2019 10:32 PM 404 Attention to detail and quality of construction should be prioritized. It would be unfortunate to not build in the same quality as the neighboring federal building or the nearbly new construction at the university 1/28/2019 8:43 PM 405 Contact Brandon Woodruff for great ideas 1/28/2019 7:18 PM 406 I would love to see this location developed in a manner that serves the entire community. Eugene doesn't need another office complex or brewery. 1/28/2019 6:56 PM 407 parking Please consider public transport from park and ride spots. Parking.1/28/2019 6:52 PM 408 There's a big opportunity to do something special for the entire community, so putting in yet another upscale combination of office space/restaurant/brewery would be a missed opportunity to create an enriching space that serves everyone, not just yet middle class earners. 1/28/2019 6:48 PM 409 parking Parking & sustainable landscaping 1/28/2019 6:43 PM 410 Make it something unique, the brewery/office space scene in town is overdone as is. Use the location to create a new experience for those visiting 1/28/2019 6:38 PM 411 Eugene already has too many breweries, taprooms and beer-cetric restaurants. Putting in another one with mixed high end office spaces is cliché and shows no originality for the future of our city. 1/28/2019 5:42 PM 412 not too high-end.1/28/2019 4:58 PM 413 It was very important to keep the Steam Plant.1/28/2019 4:30 PM 414 Create opportunities for the community to enjoy views of the Willamette River from the renovated Steam Plant. 1/28/2019 4:29 PM 415 Handicaped lavs & entrances 1/28/2019 2:49 PM 416 Please be inclusive and plan for programming that includes families, free events and maybe even some homeless services. Don't just gentrify our waterfront! 1/28/2019 2:45 PM 417 Nice job City of Eugene for making this project a priority!1/28/2019 2:15 PM 418 Keep it active - don't do a bunch of static projects. Keep people coming back for different reasons 1/28/2019 1:58 PM 419 The bike path is a really important transportation route for me, so I would just want to make sure the transportation corridor remains accessible for commuters. 1/28/2019 1:35 PM 420 I'm interested to see how this project strengthens the connection between the downtown and the river, the river and campus, and campus back to downtown. The distances between these points of interest are relatively small, but there is a perception that campus is siloed off from downtown, which is siloed off from the rest of Eugene, which is separated from the river. 1/28/2019 1:24 PM 421 parking Look to other similar precedent projects to consider what mix of public, commercial, and both for-profit and non-profit uses is right to generate both public access/ use and project income. I.E. the Eco-Trust building in Portland has numerous reasons to stop in and visit (and retained lots of historical character, even around the parking lot) vs. the Heron Building in Eugene which is more commercial-specific visit oriented for a "mixed-use" design. 1/28/2019 1:21 PM 422 Making sure this stays true to Eugene, and accessible to all.1/28/2019 1:13 PM 423 Maybe include possible rental space for parties such a wedding and anniversaries, that area happens to be very desirable for that type of event. 1/28/2019 1:02 PM 424 Don't give us an elephant of failure in order to honor some nonsensical theory -- give us a delightful visual experience that represents the strength of our citizens and brings enjoyment to visitors. It needs to be enjoyable, fun, and worth the energy. The River Views are a competitive advantage - use them. 1/28/2019 12:58 PM 82 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
