489 Don't let bums and homeless people ruin the new development once it is built. Ensure that there is a plan to keep the new development clean and safe for all people of Eugene. It will be very disappointing if the new development is built and then becomes a place people do not want to go, like downtown, because of the presence of bums and homeless people. 1/25/2019 5:11 PM 490 parking Bike routes and easy bike parking to access the building and bike paths.1/25/2019 4:54 PM 491 I do value history, but I personally see close to zero value in the physical structure of the steam plant. Seems like an ugly square cement building, of which we already have a plethora. I would prefer it be torn down, and something more imaginative be created in its place. 1/25/2019 4:51 PM 492 Remodel the existing building. Don't just "repurpose" it by grinding up the concrete to use as fill.1/25/2019 4:49 PM 493 I am pleased that this proposal has been created. Although Eugene has always embraced a lot of change (particularly architecturally), I feel that it is important to remember historic architecture and to preserve what we can while the city continues to move forward into the future. 1/25/2019 4:47 PM 494 Thank you! It will be so nice to this historical building repurposed and part of current Eugene culture. 1/25/2019 4:23 PM 495 Use only wood from Oregon. Displays on river wildlife, historical river industry, transportation.1/25/2019 4:12 PM 496 I love all the light from the windows!1/25/2019 4:05 PM 497 Please do not subsidize this project when we have families living under bridges, We have higher priorities for our tax dollars. Make this stand alone or don't do it 1/25/2019 3:56 PM 498 Make some parts of it appealing to children. We have so few historical buildings in Eugene. It would be cool to make it a space they could go to learn about our history and see what it feels like to be in an historic building. 1/25/2019 3:53 PM 499 I support this project because it creates jobs, and supports existing businesses in Eugene 1/25/2019 3:51 PM 500 Be sure to complete the project in advance of the Track and Field World Championships.1/25/2019 3:01 PM 501 Look at Bend along their river walk to see a successful community project to enhance retail, dining and community involvement. 1/25/2019 3:01 PM 502 Historic elements are important, but ideally this should be a building designed for easy use by as many Eugenians and visitors as possible. As such, it should be built to the highest standards of energy, water and carbon efficiency to show that Eugene is serious about sustainability. 1/25/2019 2:55 PM 503 PLEASE break the rut of just commercial, or just residential. Consider mixed use to engage the local community. Being able to call a place home includes breaking up the food island mentality that America has. 1/25/2019 2:35 PM 504 As stated above, it is critical that the steam plant development provide public access to retail stores for shopping, and restaurants for dining and brew pubs and wine bars for community gatherings and conversation. Except for the path along the river and a sole restaurant, the remaining Back-to-the-River development will not have public access to shops and restaurants since it will be primarily private residential. 1/25/2019 2:35 PM 505 nothing 1/25/2019 2:23 PM 506 preserving animal habitat keeping vagrants away well lit night areas that are safe 1/25/2019 2:16 PM 507 The sooner redevelopment occcurs the better 1/25/2019 2:11 PM 508 This is a great opportunity to provide a space open to the public and make an iconic restaurant/public area. Consider providing space for non-profits organizations to affordably have events/displays/activities. 1/25/2019 1:55 PM 509 parking Access to the park and river path.1/25/2019 1:41 PM 510 It looks boring.1/25/2019 1:36 PM 511 I wish the river outlook related more to the river. From the rendering, doesn't feel like it's acknowledging the river other than by views. Other than a slightly higher vantage than other locations, why would I want to go up there? 1/25/2019 1:18 PM 512 Why isn't the building being considered as a City Hall and council chambers?1/25/2019 1:11 PM 86 / 128 Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
