Comments and Responses, September 26, 2000 Public Hearing in Eugene <br />T5.2-The GSA acknowledges <br />the city's desire to redevelop the <br />area along the Willamette River <br />and to preserve the existing <br />residential neighborhoods that lie <br />to the west and south of <br />downtown. The three alternative <br />sites in Eugene are consistent with <br />these goals. <br />T5.3-The GSA acknowledges <br />the city's four themes for the area: <br />reconnecting visual and physical <br />access to the Willamette River, <br />redeveloping the areas along the <br />river, restoring the millrace to a <br />surface channel, and supporting <br />downtown Eugene as a regional <br />center for the metropolitan area. <br />Transcript 1 <br />f4 <br />Tb.1! 1 monwnt° I'd like to pc,int.
