645 For the cultural display, consider incorporating something that acknowledges Calapuya culture and <br />history. <br />1/24/2019 2:16 PM <br />646 Something functional on the rooftop 1/24/2019 2:14 PM <br />647 Please please protect our river and help integrate a natural space as well. Local plants and <br />animals should love this design too <br />1/24/2019 2:08 PM <br />648 I think it’s most important for this space to bring people together. This location is unique given its <br />proximity to downtown and stunning views. Creating a place to gather and longer would <br />economically benefit the riverfront development, local businesses, and downtown. <br />1/24/2019 2:06 PM <br />649 Keep it simple,look at Bend's old mill district.1/24/2019 2:05 PM <br />650 Nothing. Just very excited about the future of this building.1/24/2019 2:04 PM <br />651 I think it is very important to include public uses, a restaurants, shops, theater, etc.1/24/2019 2:00 PM <br />652 Bad experience with Mark Miksis on a prior project. Not sure his company would be a good <br />choice. Issues with HVAC system using improper metals and other portions of plans not followed <br />at all due to cost overruns. <br />1/24/2019 1:59 PM <br />653 parking Please make this project feel young and not cater to older, higher income members of <br />the town because otherwise it'll be unused by us freelance, craft beer enthusiast, community- <br />oriented millennials. Also parking, and sense of safety after dark. And don't close it too early! <br />1/24/2019 1:57 PM <br />654 I would consider the financial obligations in this. For a grand redesign (of the whole riverfront) of <br />this scale it is going to cost a lot of money and more often than not historical landmarks, museums, <br />etc. struggle to bring in profit. Also being honest I as well as many citizens in Eugene don't even <br />know what historical value this steam factory has to our city. I've driven past that factory many <br />many times and the only thought I have ever had is "Damn I'd love to play paintball there." It could <br />be a great contribution to the new development but if it is not getting proper Visitor numbers due to <br />lack of knowledge or appreciation it will not be sustainable and that's what we are all about here <br />sustainability. <br />1/24/2019 12:58 PM <br />655 Please consider a sister project that will help restore the purity of our beloved river that it <br />overlooks. I'd love it if you all considered Mother Nature in this as much as you can. Rooftop <br />gardens?? <br />1/24/2019 12:24 PM <br />656 Make money for the city 1/24/2019 10:15 AM <br />657 Acknowledgement of the steam plant and gas facility's detrimental environmental past.1/24/2019 9:43 AM <br />658 parking Important to not interfere with the path, but try to incorporate it as well. Bike parking, <br />dedicated lanes, etc. Dog friendly environment if possible. <br />1/24/2019 9:36 AM <br />659 i think it is most important to focus on the history of the facility. incorporation of a mural from the <br />time period and pictures and art from that period as well. <br />1/24/2019 8:54 AM <br />660 parking Please help us clean up our area of downtown and the river front. And allow more free <br />parking so we don’t have to pay $2.00 to park and be harassed by strangers looking to intimidate <br />us as we go about our errands or look for a place to eat. I am from Los Angeles/Pasadena, and <br />there are many parking areas where you can get the first hour free or first two hours free. Parking <br />meters all around downtown Eugene is excessive. This is a small town where life is supposed to <br />be affordable and reasonable. Paying for parking just to go to Addictive Behaviors with my kids for <br />a half hour is absurd. Also, the neighborhood doesn’t carry enough desirable/family friendly <br />activities to justify paying to park and also risk the potential for being intimidated by strangers <br />looking to make mischief. Like I said, I have young kids and I don’t go downtown if I can go <br />somewhere else in town where it’s free to park and safer. So I think for any major/expensive <br />developments to really pull in industry and profits the city needs to recognize how people like us <br />will go spend money where it’s safe and easy to come and go. We like 5th Street Market area <br />exactly for these reasons. I know most other families and people in Eugene want the same thing. I <br />have lived in Eugene, worked at the Y, teach in South Eugene, have kids in sports, and my <br />husband works at EWEB. We are very embedded in the community, and I know my requests are <br />similar to those of many, many others who want to see Eugene thrive. <br />1/24/2019 8:05 AM <br />661 A fishing platform 1/24/2019 7:28 AM <br />92 / 128 <br />Comments Sought on Proposed Steam Plant Concept <br />April 24, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
