During that time I have seen many examples of the good, the bad and the ugly. <br /> <br />Much of the good Is embodied by the character of the Wests ide Neighborhood, a true <br />neighborhood with an identity and the cohesion, congeniality and heritage that go along with it. <br /> <br />The bad includes ill-conceived and poorly implemented projects and programs imposed on the <br />neighborhood, which has often been the City's dumping ground for programs unwanted elsewhere <br />and the City's testing ground for projects untried elsewhere. <br /> <br />The ugly comes in the form of inappropriately sited and sized projects and inappropriate <br />requirements, such as the parameters of the nodal development experiment that drove our family <br />from the neighborhood. <br /> <br />To its credit, the Westside has responded with resilience. Now it is time to respect rather than <br />exploit that resilience, and support and preserve the best aspects of the neighborhood's character <br />by giving the Chambers Special Area Zone your support. <br /> <br />Thank you for doing right by West Eugene, and demonstrating to all of us in neighborhoods <br />throughout the City a genuine regard for the citizen-stakeholders and a genuine desire to support <br />neighborhood values. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Lucinda Muniz-Hale <br />2811 Tandy Turn <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> <br />11/1412005 <br />
