I soon discovered that this is a very stable neighborhood. <br />Many of my neighbors have lived here since the 19508, and some even go back to the <br />1940s. At the same time it's a very open and welcoming neighborhood- <br />multigenerational and diverse. <br /> <br />This is a very convenient location. My husband and I bike and walk almost everywhere. <br />When our car lease expired, we decided not to buy a new car. Instead, we share a car with <br />a neighbor. This sensible and economical arrangement has worked out satisfactorily for <br />both parties for more than two years. <br /> <br />In other words-my experience represents exactly what is envisioned for Eugene: a <br />liv~ble~ walkable downrown neighborhood. I believe that aU Qfthis i$ compatible with <br />increased @flSity. The plan that twighbomood Ns.idems have. carefully cmfted, in tandem <br />with mem~l$ (}fth~ city's planning g~partm{:nt, pr~s~rv~$ the beauty ~4live.abi1ity ()f <br />West Eugene while inviting significantly more people to participate as homeowners and <br />renters. <br /> <br />I urge you to vote yes on these amendm"mts. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~C1 <br />AlicePannan ~ <br /> <br />F::JI"":'.", <br />h'" r,J..::(.t-.-'!./.... <br />c;}-, "-'I',..
