The percentage of people indicating they are “somewhat or very satisfied in Downtown <br />Eugene the way it is”, has increased from 33 to 37 percent. More striking is the percentage of people <br />who are somewhat or very dissatisfied, which has dropped from 64 to 54 percent. There has been a <br />statistically significant reduction in the dissatisfaction in the perception of Downtown Eugene. It is a <br />reasonable conclusion that the law enforcement elements of the City’s larger 12-Point Downtown Plan, <br />including enhanced police presence and the Downtown Public Safety Zone, as well as the numerous <br />construction projects currently underway have contributed to the improved perception of Eugene’s <br />downtown by survey respondents. <br /> <br />Summary <br />Page 8 of 17 <br /> <br />
