Message <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />FYI - On Thursday night's Brewer Park workshop I received a number of negative comments (to put it <br />mildly) from workshop participants about the City's new web site. Generally, they said they had great <br />difficulty finding the information they wanted, including parks, neighborhoods, or much of what they had <br />previously been able to access. In particular, they felt that the POS web site had been almost entirely <br />disabled. <br />I couldn't tell them how to get to the Brewer Park web page, because the URL string is a huge line of <br />symbols and code (as opposed to www.ci.eugene.or.us /parks /brewer click -able maps are defunct, the <br />pull -down list is gone, and the search function not working. The information from the previous pages (as <br />noted below) hasn't been carried forward, there's no connection between public meetings /events and the <br />park web pages, and we have no way of adding additional events to the calendar in any case. I could go <br />on, but suffice it to say that this has abruptly ceased to be a functional tool for getting info out to the public, <br />and that's not just my perspective. <br />Look and feel is very important, but right now - and I wish it weren't true - we don't even have basic <br />function. <br />I know you're doing what you can (thank you!) - I just wanted to keep you updated on the real -time impact <br />on our public relations. <br />- - - -- Original Message---- - <br />From: HOSTICK Robin A <br />Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 10:33 AM <br />To: DONALD David H <br />Cc: BLANCHARD Bob C; RINER Andrea G <br />Subject: Brewer Park web page <br />Hi David - I had a workshop last Thursday night for the design of Brewer Park, and I'm seeing that the <br />information from the previous page hasn't been carried forward, incl. info about the workshop, the <br />workshop report, and the draft plan. Could you please update the page to include the latest info? Also, <br />how can I tell the workshop participants to get to a specific page? It's very tough to find, and the search <br />function isn't working ... <br />Thanks <br />Robin Alan Hostick <br />Landscape Architect <br />City of Eugene <br />Parks & Open Space Planning <br />1820 Roosevelt Blvd. <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br />tel. 541.682.4915 <br />fax 541.682.4882 <br />7/20/2005 <br />
