9 APRIL 2019 | PAGE 9 <br />CITY OF EUGENE | STEAM PLANT REDEVELOPMENT DESIGN PROPOSAL <br />RIVER OVERLOOK <br />The east entry to the Riverfront Park is bound by <br />the natural gateway between the Steam Plant <br />and the massive historic water intake that was <br />built on the riverbank just north of the building. <br />This existing concrete structure provides an ideal <br />opportunity to create an iconic location for the <br />public to engage with the river – the existing <br />structure could enable the addition of a significant <br />platform without disturbing the riverbank. <br />The current park design calls for several overlooks <br />along the edge of the river. We plan to work with <br />the city to incorporate this overlook into the design <br />work that is already underway so its construction <br />can be concurrent with the Riverfront Park and <br />complete by 2021. Located at a bend in the river <br />with views east to the mountains and west to the <br />butte, at the gateway to the park, and adjacent to <br />the Steam Plant amenities, this is where the public <br />will want to be. Let’s build an Instagram-worthy <br />spot where people go to say they visited Eugene. <br />Draft rendering of the existing intake transformed into a public viewpoint over the Willamette River <br />Taco Cina patio in Domino Park, Brooklyn, NY <br />image: Peter Garrita <br />Ap <br />r <br />i <br />l <br /> <br />24 <br />, <br /> <br />20 <br />1 <br />9 <br />, <br /> <br />Wo <br />r <br />k <br /> <br />Se <br />s <br />s <br />i <br />o <br />n <br /> <br />- <br />It <br />e <br />m <br /> <br />1
