Southeast Neighbors: Eugene Neighborhood Survey Results

More than 4,600 community members responded to the recent Eugene Neighborhood Survey, providing

useful information about what they like in their neighborhoods and what they would like to improve.

Conducted during the summer and fall of 2009, the survey was developed in partnership with neighborhood

leaders and the UO’s Community Planning Workshop. Neighborhood associations, as well as City staff and

other community groups, distributed the survey with a special emphasis on reaching people who have not

participated in neighborhood associations and underrepresented groups. These efforts paid off, as results

indicate that survey responses are a good representation of the city population in terms of age, income,

race/ethnicity, gender, and home ownership.

Responses for Southeast Neighbors NA were 642, about 4.8% of the neighborhood’s total population.

Respondents were 19% renters and 78% homeowners. Eighteen percent of respondents’ household income

was less than $30,000, 39% between $30,000-60,000, and 43% over $60,000. The race/ethnicity breakdown

of respondents is as follows: 87.6% White, 4.2% Multi-racial, 1.7% Latino/Hispanic, 1.7% Asian, 1.2%

American Indian/Alaskan Native, .3% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and 3.1% other. The respondent

age was predominately 25-64 years old (78%), with 10% ages 17-24 and 12% 65 or over. For planning and

outreach purposes, the Southeast Neighborhood Analysis should be consulted to compare actual

demographic make up to the demographic make-up of the survey respondents. Gaps may exist.

Sixty-two percent of respondents had not participated in their neighborhood association, but 40% expressed

an interest in being connected. Survey data should be consulted for information on what would encourage

respondents to be more involved and what respondents view as the neighborhood association’s primary role.

Overall, Southeast Neighbors results show that respondents have generally positive views of the quality of

life in the Southeast neighborhood. When asked about what they would like to improve in Southeast, safety

and connection to people in my neighborhood were the most frequent responses, followed by biking and

walking and parks and natural areas.

Neighborhood surveys are considered a best practice in neighborhood planning initiatives. The survey

provides a wealth of information for neighborhood associations and the City of Eugene, as we work to

increase involvement and participation in neighborhood associations and improve neighborhood livability.

The full results of the Eugene Neighborhood Survey are posted online at http://www.eugene-

12 It's quiet too. I like that. Aug 27, 2009 7:44 PM

13 We need speed humps! Sep 1, 2009 3:15 PM

14 Our neighborhood association spends WAY too much time and attention, not to mention public dollars, on woodlandpreservation projects and does not adequately represent the interests of all SE area neighbors. It has been hijacked by aselect group of individuals as a means to pursue their personal interests. They should be reminded that the neighborhoodassociation is there to serve the whole neighborhood and not just them.

25 Traffic moves too fast on Donald to feel really safe and it is not very safe at night anymore Sep 28, 2009 10:55 PM

26 I never feel safe in Eugene and in general it is a town that I will not stay in. The daily awareness of the risks of living in thistown greatly effect my experience as a student at U of O. I wish I chose a different university for graduate school and don'trecommend it to other students.

35 In the first question it mentions congestion. The problem our street has is fast moving traffic, not so much congestion, anddisregard for the traffic calming devices which have been altered and/or removed since I have lived there. They were notworking before and now they are completely diregarded and people travel through at speeds between 30-50 m.p.h. I haveonly seen one police officer on a motorcycle one time since I have lived here. It was about 2-3 weeks ago at 9:00 - 9:15a.m. (not the best time to see the actual traffic patterns). I was very happy to see him there but it would be nice if there was more of a presence. The signs at either end of the streets (Donald and Hilyard) mentionthat the traffic rules are strictly enforced but clearly it is not factual and the regular passersby know it full well.

Oct 15, 2009 9:57 PM

36 My neighboorhood is focused on residential living and isn't the crux of commerical business in Eugene. Oct 17, 2009 7:44 PM

37 South Eugene is not convenient for retail needs that can be found in west and northeast Eugene and there is not easyaccess to get to those places.

Oct 17, 2009 8:05 PM

38 32nd street needs traffic slowing safe crossing for people/ bikes needed at 32nd and hilyard Oct 17, 2009 9:23 PM

39 je t'aime mon arondissment! Oct 17, 2009 10:30 PM

40 two reasons for not feeling safe: number of home break-ins and robberies; and speed of cars on hill with no shoulders inplaces separating road and rocklined drainage ditches.

Oct 17, 2009 11:44 PM

41 Private and quiet. Parklike setting behind residence. Oct 18, 2009 12:29 AM

42 The stretch of Potter St. south of 38th Ave has become a speedway for some of the cars at the south end of the street. Wedesperately need a couple of speed bumps in this section and a petition has already been submitted requesting this.

Oct 18, 2009 12:52 AM

43 We are not comfortable with the amount of off leash dogs. Oct 18, 2009 1:01 AM

44 My neighborhood has too much landlord-controlled real estate. Oct 18, 2009 1:26 AM

45 This neighborhood needs to be preserved, rather than updated or overhauled. Let them do that to the rest of Eugene,keep our neighborhood AS IS.

Oct 18, 2009 1:49 AM

46 no further comments Oct 18, 2009 2:02 AM

47 I wish the houses were kept nicer. Oct 18, 2009 3:12 AM

48 There are inadequate traffic controls in the immediate vicinity. Oct 18, 2009 8:36 AM

49 I have lived in the same house since 1977. The neighborhood is stable and well-kept up, with good police and emergencyservices. It's a steep hill neighborhood on the west side of Willamette Street; not a good place for small children to play orelderly people to walk, but that is nothing the City of Eugene or the Neighborhood Association can do anything about.Diversity of income levels is achieved not so much through home ownership, but through rentals. This is satisfactory.Thank you, City of Eugene, for a neighborhood with trees and woods, deer, turkeys, the odd cougar -- country living in thecity. Life is good. Access to Willamette Street is becoming increasingly congested out south beyond 30th Avenue.

Oct 18, 2009 9:46 AM

50 People drive way too fast on Brae Burn; someone is going to get hurt. I have clocked speeders at 43mph and estimate thefastest one last month at close to 50. This is not ok. We need speed bumps or other controls.

56 We are impressed by and grateful for the neighborhood association. We don't always have as much time as we would liketo participate, and we thank those that do.

On another note: It is concerning that a number of rental houses are in a deteriorated state. We would like to seelandowners held more accountable for the physical structures and the landscaping of the homes they rent. We would liketo see them take responsibility for the general appearance and quality of the neighborhood.

Oct 18, 2009 5:30 PM

57 My neighborhood is prone to "smash and grab" break-ins. We have had 6-8 in the last two years. It makes me feelunsafe. I have organized Neighborhood Watch in my area.

Oct 18, 2009 6:26 PM

58 Great place for kids & dogs! Oct 18, 2009 6:32 PM

59 close to nature, trees, etc. Oct 18, 2009 8:10 PM

60 "INFILL" DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE A HUGE DETRIMENT TO THE LIVEABILITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD! Oct 18, 2009 8:18 PM

61 The only problem is that the traffic goes to fast to the French Hollow School up Larkwood Oct 18, 2009 8:34 PM

62 My neighborhood has lots of natural areas, trees, green space. Oct 18, 2009 8:42 PM

63 Road Safety -- The drainage at the junction at South Willamette St. and the post office a huge problem during a rainstorm or from meltwater after a snow storm. Road needs heavy repair at "Y" of Donald and South Willamette St.

Oct 18, 2009 9:19 PM

64 There are very few college renters in my neighborhood and I like it that way. Oct 18, 2009 9:43 PM

65 The reason I said that A (bike and walk) is "somewhat agree" is because I live on a STEEP hill. Not conducive to biking. Ido walk it regularly.

Oct 18, 2009 10:00 PM

66 The development over the last few years has increased foot, bike & vehicle traffic - - - & congestion. Resulting inincreasing noise, littering, & undesired access to the creek.

Oct 18, 2009 10:14 PM

67 4J has ruined the neighborhood with stadium lights and what appears to a prison exercise yard complete with lots of latenight screaming and whistles.

Oct 18, 2009 11:48 PM

68 I feel that the traffic going by my house on Agate is intolerable at times. Too much and people drive too fast up and downhill. The "speed bumps" don't do anything to curb this.

Oct 19, 2009 12:21 AM

69 we have a neighbor that has 20 cats, that she let's eat the wild birds and come on our property and threatens to call thepolice if we ask her to take care of her cats. I wish there was a law to limit control over these animals , just as there isabout dogs. The neighbor has constantly harrassed everyone in our neighborhood.

Oct 19, 2009 12:32 AM

70 My neighborhood never smells bad. (i.e. no scent of rotting/composting timber yard waste, garbage disposal, etc.) Oct 19, 2009 12:56 AM

71 RE: N Our neighborhood has had several break-ins recently and are trying to organize a Neighborhood Watch. Oct 19, 2009 2:13 AM

72 This is a good neighborhood to have a child. Oct 19, 2009 4:20 AM

73 Rental owners don't keep their properties in very good shape (upkeep of yard, paint, etc.). Oct 19, 2009 4:14 PM

74 Neighbors surrounding our home do nothing to clear their property of overgrowth and high vegetation. Most won't evenmow their lawns. We constantly have to clean up debris and fallen limbs from neighbors trees that are a hazzard. City willnot enforce the vegetation ordinance, as we've tried several times. Lots of problems with car breakins at night, vandalism,and not enough police patrols at night to curtail criminal activity. Also cars speeding excessively, especially at night.

Oct 19, 2009 4:44 PM

75 Speec bumps or the like on the hills above our cul de sac are needed. The cul de sac is a bit "blind" and the cars drivemuch too fast as they come down the hill.

77 Could use some street lights Oct 19, 2009 10:19 PM

78 The "native plant" areas created in Tugman Park over the past few years have created a private area and is beginning toattract more transients, drugs, etc. We've had to call police twice this year. You need to keep this space visibly open to thestreet!

79 Misuse of our residential streets. See comment below. Oct 20, 2009 1:01 AM

80 My street, Old Dillard Rd., has terrible pavement with lots of holes caused by trucks during housing development. Oct 20, 2009 3:00 AM

81 Some of my neighbors are agressive with their fellow neighbors when something is happening that they don't like. Forexample, when a leaf blower is running, or a car is parked along the street, but where they have to see it, so they don't likeit.

Oct 20, 2009 3:57 AM

82 I have been burglarized four times in my 28 years here. I wish it weren't so. I like living here and this is the one factor thatmakes it uncomfortable.

90 The only time I don't feel safe is trying to cross Hilyard St. at 8:30 A.M. Traffic still travels too fast and sometimes goesthrough yellow lights at an unsafe speed.

91 Ths neighborhood has characteristics that fit both extremes of the questions, so some are difficult to answer Oct 21, 2009 10:59 PM

92 we need sidewalks on Agate all the way down to 30th. I's not safe to walk down the hill, but people do it anyway. Oct 22, 2009 12:05 AM

93 Roads could be better paved, maintained and improved. Oct 22, 2009 12:19 AM

94 We really need sidewalks and bike lanes on Dillard. Also, the trend of front yard fences being built is ruining the characterof a walkable community.

102 Traffic and noise has increased substantially with the addition of the new playing field at Spencers Butte Junior High.Additionally the lights on late into the evening disturbs the cozy feeling that use to exist. This is a problem affecting theneighborhood.

108 please resurface Willamette Street Oct 25, 2009 2:17 AM

109 The roadways are maintained Oct 25, 2009 4:05 PM

110 The leadership is extremely selfish in seeking 'park' funds for additional water sheds that should go to poorer parks inneighborhoods!!! Yet we have limited playgrounds. They fight downtown economic development that would help theunemployed. And these actions reflect upon the neighborhood.

111 It is quiet which I like Oct 25, 2009 7:28 PM

112 There is apparently an issue with an environmental soil contamination where there used to be a dry cleaners located in theEdgewood shopping center. There is an ongoing investigation by DEQ at this time

Oct 25, 2009 8:28 PM

113 I'd like more mixed use (i.e. businesses, restaurants, stores) in the neighborhood. Oct 26, 2009 2:28 AM

114 My neighborhood organization has strong advocacy and communication about events important to those of us living in thisarea (such as land use, parks use, etc.)

Oct 29, 2009 1:27 PM

119 the southeast neighborhood association has been taken over by special interest Oct 29, 2009 10:19 PM

120 A greater problem than congestion is driving behavior. Specifically, speeding, tailgating, minimal attention to stop signs andconventions of driving, unwillingness to yield, numerous hit and run damage to vehicles along 40th avenue, and generallysurly behavior. All controllable if only there were adequate and meaningful traffic enforcement.

Oct 30, 2009 7:37 PM

121 It is hard to breathe in my neighborhood because of all the wood smoke. Not only bad for health, but contributes to globalwarming. We need an education initiative about wood smoke.

Oct 31, 2009 11:13 PM

122 I really dislike the litter and am always picking up after renters who don't care for their properties. Oct 31, 2009 11:56 PM

123 Traffic is too busy on Willamette St. but this seems inevitable. Nov 1, 2009 4:18 PM

124 We especially like the visual beauty of the natural areas in our neighborhood, including Ridgeline Trail, Spencer Butte,Tugman Park (wild part). Please continue your excellent efforts to save these precious resources.

Nov 8, 2009 7:17 PM

129 great neighborhood for raising kids Nov 9, 2009 1:53 AM

130 This is not a setting for business activities, thankfully so. I do not like that we have people who park their cars on the streetrather than use their own driveways and garages. There is too much traffic on this street. It is used as a connector to theother residential areas near us. The drivers drive their cars far too fast on our street. The street is not safe for children oranimals. There should have been a street built off of Foz Hollow up into the neighborhood that is North of us. Our little Avebears the brunt of all the traffic accessing their homes to the west of us, to the north of us and to the south of us. FoxHollow is a nightmare. West Amazon Pkwy should be extended to through traffic north onto Fox Hollow Rd. I realize thosefolks will cry foul, and declare all sorts of things, typical of them. You know, The Not In My Backyard Syndrome.

Nov 9, 2009 6:04 AM

131 I do wish the bus line came a bit closer to our house so my daughter would ride it more frequently. The walk from 30th upSpring Blvd is tough however I think it may limit crime so there is a trade off. Maybe if it just ran for the South High schoolstudents.

Nov 9, 2009 4:54 PM

132 It does not have any fast food, junk cars on the street, noise and high rise apartments. It is stable and I would like to see itstay stable.

1 Housing: There is not enough quality affordable housing - it makes the neighborhood feel a bit exclusive and not asdiverse as it could be.Safety: I have seen some teenagers vandalizing park equipment. This itself does not make me feel unsafe, but I think itcould possibly lead to more if not corrected. This also possibly links to the need for more rec activities for youth.Other: the area needs an emergency response plan - if there was a big earthquake this area would have major landslides.

Aug 1, 2009 12:26 AM

2 E. some trails in neighborhood need pruning. Maybe organize a volunteer team to walk the trails with clippers?N. street lights would increase safety, especially when walking at night.D. There seem to be lots of cars that park on the street but only for "storage" as they never move. Some are hazardous,such as the large motorhome parked at corner of Nectar Way and Garnet, which has not moved in the almost threemonths I have lived in the neighborhood (and I have been told has not moved in at least the last nine months). It blocksview of the traffic coming down the hill on Garnet which are supposed to yield to Nectar Way traffic.

Aug 3, 2009 11:46 PM

3 E. It is important to save the Amazon Headwaters from development. Aug 4, 2009 3:42 AM

4 My neighborhood is wonderful but I feel the connection to people and safety issues, including neighborhood watch andsafe routes to school are second tier priorities to advocacy around land use planning and development. There are anumber of seniors and children on my block. To them, these are the issues that impact thier lives daily.

Aug 4, 2009 11:24 PM

5 I need to talk to my neighbors more Aug 5, 2009 9:22 PM

6 I feel lik my neighborhood doesn't do things to connect, like block parties or get togethers. Aug 6, 2009 7:55 PM

7 street cleaning Aug 6, 2009 9:20 PM

8 Parks - continue to make Edgewood Park sustainable and safe and encourage neighbourhood use. Access to services - the mall at 40th and Donald could be encouraging of new business - there are still store fronts that areempty after 2 years. There isn't a good restaurant in this neighbourhood (40th & Donald).Other - elect a new president of the Neighbourhood Association so there is more focus and involvement regardingEdgewood Pool, crime and keeping the neighbourhood safe, emergency preparedness, leashing dogs (especially inparks), how we can support the schools ...

Aug 6, 2009 9:56 PM

9 I wish the rentals would sell so that new owners could improve appearance of houses. Many that are used as rentals arerun down and unkept.

Aug 6, 2009 10:44 PM

10 30th Avenue is a huge barrier for walking, and biking. The crossing at Alder Street is complicated with the 30th and Hilyardintersection and the access points to Albertsons. A more protected crossing at Harris Street and 30th would be ideal.

There is a lot of traffic on 30th and sometimes its hard to get a gap to cross the street. Having a speed zone on the backof the school would be really helpful. It would slow drivers down and help make them more aware.

I would love to see improved access around the Albertsons.

12 Introduction of neighborhood commercial services are needed in my neighborhood. Also, I would like to see more flexibilityto introduce smaller secondary units. Our neighborhood is aging with a need for more alternative housing options for agingparents, etc.

Aug 7, 2009 11:00 PM

13 SE is a good neighborhood with lots to offer. However, there is still a lack of community that I would like to see. I know myimmediate neighbors, but not the neighborhood. More park and natural areas are always good.

Aug 8, 2009 5:03 PM

14 The closest LTD bus stop is over a mile and 500 feet in elevation from our house. We would love for LTD to provide smallbuses or vans in the south hills all the way up Willamette, perhaps to the upper Spencer Butte parking lot or Fox Hollow.

Aug 10, 2009 6:17 PM

15 I do not feel this neighborhood is very friendly. All too busy.Maybe have more community classes at the middle school. nightsI really don't need more businesses in this neighborhood.

Aug 11, 2009 3:03 AM

16 Because I work full time, it is difficult to meet my neighbors. Most folks are indoors during the evening. I wish peoplewould walk around more.I think it would be great if there were some housing for middle income level folks out here. I think most home owners areupper income.I like to take the bus to work, but buses don't run as frequently as I would like.

Aug 11, 2009 5:08 AM

17 The bus doesn't run up Dillard, and its a such a steep hill I can't get my kids down and back up to ride it. How about havingthe bus come up Dillard?

The recreation options we have are too crowed.

We know only a few of the people in my immediate neighborhood, not a lot of opportunities to get to know each other.

Aug 11, 2009 1:31 PM

18 "Infill" development has the potential to ruin our southeast Eugene neighborhood. Problems include increased traffic,increased noise, loss of privacy, loss of relaxed neighborhood ambiance, loss of view, loss of sunlight. I don't think itshould be legal for new houses to be built on tiny lots, sandwiched between existing homes. (For an example of this, viewthe new 2-story (!) spec house going up on East Amazon Dr. near 34th or 35th.)

Aug 11, 2009 5:03 PM

19 I like the neighborhood the way it is. Aug 12, 2009 4:16 AM

20 D- I would like to see the on-street parking get safer. There is plenty of it, however there is a lot of petty theft and even autotheft.

E and F- I would love to see the parks/trails get an upgrade. Tugman and Amazon parks are great, but newactivites/paving is always great.

Aug 12, 2009 10:43 AM

21 Things are fine, but new development might be nice.2nd &3rd choices indicate a desire to improve on area strngths Aug 15, 2009 11:25 PM

22 I know most of the folks immediately around me but would like to get to know my neighbors better. Someone has openeda half way house for previous drug users and over time the traffic in and around the house has gotten out of hand. Peopleoverflowing into the street and arguments.

Aug 16, 2009 10:14 PM

23 at times, it is difficult to get onto hilyard from 32nd due to visibility issues (bushes too high) or simply too much traffic to turnleft.

24 Traffic on Dillard Road is uncomfortably fast for how quickly the road goes from rural to residential. We've had one carcrash through our yard and live a bit in fear of when the next one will crash into the yard -- or our house.

The parks are awesome in south Eugene but need to be managed for multiple use. The trails on Mount Baldy aremarginally better now that they've been rebuilt -- better for walking. For mountain bikes, they are boring.

We try to keep our front yard under control. I wish I could say the same for neighbors. I don't want lawns, but fields ofinvasive weeds aren't pleasant

Aug 17, 2009 11:50 PM

25 Too many streets don't have sidewalks on both sides of the road. Many bicyclists use sidewalks because of lack ofdedicated bike lanes on Donald and Willamette.

Bus service ends too early at night and does not start early enough or run late enough on Sunday for me to be able to usethe bus to/from work on that day.

I chose Traffic congestion because it was closest to my concern about drivers driving too fast up & down Donald Streetaround 34th ave. The speed limit is 25 and should be strictly enforced. Also using some traffic calming devices(roundabouts, speed bumps, more 4-way stops at intersctions, etc...) would be very helpful.

Aug 18, 2009 9:12 PM

26 Please see "Other" comment in question #2.

It is difficult to create and establish connections to neighbors in a transient ie University town population.

There seem to be several business nodes in the Southeast neighborhood area that could use help in sustaining/expanding their presence in the community.

Aug 19, 2009 6:45 PM

27 Very few home owners/renters are maintaining their properties. There is little landscape maintenance being done byanyone.

We need new housing and business development in the neighborhood.

Aug 20, 2009 4:35 AM

28 Our neighborhood could have a little hub of housing that is affordable with studios on street floor to do some businessfrom. It seems that there are quite a few folks that do work from home, but in isolation. I could even see a neighborhoodbusiness building, that neighborhood folks could rent offices in and neighbors could go their for some goods and services.

Aug 20, 2009 7:14 PM

29 With a wide variety of income levels and a high mix of owner-owned and rentals (single family housing) there is littleopportunity to connect to discuss neighborhood issues. Appearance is a problem, especially with rentals.Traffic is a concern mainly with houses rented to several (3-4) young, single individuals, each with their own car.

Aug 20, 2009 8:32 PM

30 Most people drive everywhere so there are fewer opportunities to meet people, plus the hills are steep, so again, peopledrive more (I ride and run every day though).We don't really have room for development, and I am not advacating cutting down more trees.Businesses struggle, even in the Edgewood Shopping Center. It would be nice if it were more nodel, but probably notfeasible.

Aug 21, 2009 12:17 AM

31 Number of cars and speed driving on Donald St. and lack of speed bumps or stop signs. Driving down the hill (north) adriver can easily speed up to 40 or 50 in the 25 mph zones!

I would like to see a bit more business in the Edgewood shopping area-bakery, coffee shop, etc. Bookstore?

Connection with neighborhood- I wish the neighborhood association meetings would vary the days they meet. I've neverbeen able to attend due to work and it continues to always fall on the same day of the month. I understand consistency, butit would be nice to see a meeting that would fall on another day of the week providing people like me an option to attend. Iwould love to be involved, but at this point can't.

Aug 21, 2009 2:35 PM

32 Would like more shopping within bike/walking distance (groceries, farmer's markets) Could easily see the Albertson'sstore/30th & Hilyard area become more like Oakway or Southtowne shop areas

Aug 21, 2009 3:13 PM

33 Donald street has a lot of traffic and no bike lane Aug 21, 2009 6:32 PM

34 The sidewalks are cracked, many times, they disappear and you need to walk on the street. Aug 21, 2009 8:38 PM

35 C. Donald Street has too many speeding cars.N. Southeast Eugene has too many young male thugs wandering around in the middle of the night.A. Too much rubbish in streets make biking dangerous in the fall and winter.

Aug 22, 2009 4:58 PM

36 I think that the first choice should be addressed community wide as well as in our area.2nd Choice.... there is a lot of overgrown foliage that makes for very dangerous corners. For example crossing Donald at39th there is a blind corner on the north side of the street. We have had a few close calls walking because of that coupledwith people speeding in the area.3rd choice.... Tugman park could use a few trees on the east side of the park! It is a rather brutal playground for thechildren and parents alike in the summer because of the reflective quality of the sand. Please plant a few more trees!!!!

Aug 24, 2009 4:24 PM

37 Recent break in. Aug 24, 2009 5:36 PM

38 N: The neighborhood is being over-run by drunk homeless people living in the shrubbery along Amazon creek. I've seenthem urinate on the side of Albertons, aggressively approach teens, dig through people's recycle bins, etc.. I personallydon't feel threatened because I'm large and muscular. But I am concerned about the safety of others. K: The above-ground utility lines are hideous, and put a cap on how charming/appealing the neighborhood can be. Also, I would like tosee the City provide grants to homeowners to add front porches on their houses, which would dramatically increaseneighbor interactions. L: The neighborhood is a bit fractured primarily because of the school-choice system. The familiesthat send their kids to an alternative school end up being sort of "cultish" about it and have a sense of exclusiveness andelitism. It's nutty for people to be driving their kids all over town to different "alternative" schools. I'd like to see theneighborhood schools improve, offer more interesting programs, and eliminate the alternative schools.

Aug 25, 2009 7:59 PM

39 I see that the Amazon skatebowl is full of kids every afternoon and all day during the summer. The skate area is woefullyundersized for the use it gets and completely outdated in design and condition. Yet it is still one of the most heavily usedpublic facilities in the neighborhood. I would love to see funds budgeted and allocated in proportion to actual interest anduse by South Eugenes citizens.

Kids from SE Eugene shouldn't have to figure out how get all the way to the other side of town just to ride a decentskatepark. Not while baseball diamonds, basketball courts, playing fields, we maintain lie empty most of the time.

40 Looking at the police website, I see that there is more violent crime in my neighborhood than I realized. Since I walk andbike for commuting to work, I'd like to know that as a woman I am safe.

I'd love to see more done to make Willamette Street a bike friendly area. There are many businesses there, but biking tothem is a nightmare. Getting from South Eugene to downtown using the Amazon parkway path is nice, but we needsomething for bikes on Willamette between 18th and 28th.

Also, many of us bike through Amazon park, and then up through Tugman Park to get to the top of the south hills. It wouldbe great if the bike path continued along the section from 30th Ave to Tugman Park. As it is, we have to share a VERYnarrow sidewalk with pedestrians and other cyclists. It can be very scary! Riding in traffic along this section is verydangerous. All we'd have to do is widen the sidewalk. That would be wonderful!

Aug 26, 2009 6:23 PM

41 A. We have good access to Amazon bike paths, but Willamette St. sucks for bikes, and crossing Hilyard St., especially at28th, is dangerous, especially for kids. Options are limited. I'd rather be able to go easily in all directions.

B. Certain neighbors are tweakers. Sometimes people drive too fast on the street (lots of kids!). Once I heard someone runby, followed by a gunshot. Sometimes there are events of vandalism. The bike path under Amazon Parkway by Hilyardneeds to be lit up on the path side, and not lit on the Hilyard side, so that path users are safe and the homeless folks canstill sleep across the creek. (It would be even better to provide a place for homeless folks to sleep out of the cold.)

C. Recreation options are good, but we could use a bigger skate bowl for the kids.

Aug 26, 2009 9:26 PM

42 I think these are all crucial. I would like to see the ridgeline trail more accessible in near 30th. I would like to at leastmaintain current bus levels and would like to see them improved and I think biking and walking are central to a livableneighborhood.

Aug 27, 2009 4:29 PM

43 Hilly, cul-de-sac nature of housing makes it difficult for neighbors to connect with each other physically.Limited parking on Brookside and difficult parking in cul-de-sacs makes for difficult parking if you host more than a fewpeople.

Aug 27, 2009 7:10 PM

44 There are good options for busing to downtown, but not other places like LCC. We could use more bike lanes. Aug 27, 2009 7:44 PM

45 K) Maintenance of residential and commercial property...assistance or some kind of encouragement/work parties toimprove property appearance. Painting, landscape, old stored cars removal...

L) Neighborhood "block parties" + info meetings; sharing resources/ideas/emergency info support, and just enjoyingneighbors

Sep 1, 2009 11:32 AM

46 We need speed humps by Tugman Park before someone is injured by speeding cars going up and down the hill. Kids playin the park every day and the traffic speeds reaches 50 miles per hour on a daily basis as people do not slow down comingdown the hill. They also speed up to climb the hill. It is often frightening to walk along Hilyard Street by Tugman. It is anaccident waiting to happen.

Sep 1, 2009 3:15 PM

47 The SE area neighborhood is changing, as residents age and move out to be replaced by others. We need morebusinesses to flourish in the neighborhood. We need a strong focus on the quality of the schools and the infrastructure.We need to encourage development within the neighborhood at the appropriate scale. We need to develop a strongerneighborhood identity and bring people together who live in this rather sprawling and disconnected area.

48 The stores that have recently been developed in the South Station(forgot the name)near the PC Market are a horriblechoice. Ben & Jerrys operator/manager is vulgar and brash, and the selection of other stores really doesn't fit in theenvironment. Why didn't Full City or another local coffee roaster company move in instead of an unknown, as well as aParty Store and sporting goods store...and beauty supply store. All poor choices that don't make for a sense of communityin this space.

The Downtown area is the same...stores vacant for over six years, random choice, no sense of a real downtown.

Sep 2, 2009 3:20 AM

49 east amazon is very busy from foxhollow north. would be nice if traffic were slowed or reduced. there is a bike route onalder but would be nice to develop better bike or walking routes.

albertson's is on corner of 30th and there's one bank across the street but most access is over off willamette which is alittle far to walk. would be nice to have expansion of smaller businesses nearby.

the jogging walking trail is nice along east/west amazon but would be nice to develop other recreation options. amazonpark has turned into a city park when it's supposed to be a neighborhood park. amazon pool is especially overcrowdedand the tennis courts etc... are really part of roosevelt or s. eugene schools. on related note I'd like to see amazon pool beexpanded to include a water slide tower. could push out the fence boundary on the north and west sides to add .5 acre to.75 acre. then would be nice to see a 30-40 ft. tower with three or four water slides coming off of it. I've seen these inother cities or amusement parks and they do not have to be huge. since amazon pool is used by the city would be easierto expand the filtration systems and changing rooms as well as push out the boundary fence line than to build an entirelynew large pool with combined water slide park. it's sad that in all of Oregon there really is no water slide park. EmigrantLake in So. Oregon has one outdoor slide, then there is only one slide in both Amazon pool and SPLASH in Springfieldwith similar facility in Corvallis and Portland. But then I see large water slide parks in places like N. Washington or evenBritish Columbia that have worse weather and similar economy and demographics as Eugene. if Eugene/ Amazon Poolhad a water slide tower added it would help put Eugene on the map to draw visitors from all over Oregon as well as withinEugene. As an example can see Boomarang Bay in Paramount Great America in Santa Clara, CA. As part of the waterpark they have a water slide tower/ structure that sits on a concrete pad with four of five slides coming off of it. Entirestructure and concrete pad takes up about 2000-3000 sq. feet only.

Sep 2, 2009 5:26 PM

50 Agate Street off of 30th has no sidewalks and traffic goes very fast and dangerously along it. The bus cannot stop along30th at Agate and Kimberly for 'safety' reasons. Everyone in our neighborhood must drive, unless they are crazy like ourfamily.

Sep 7, 2009 4:13 AM

51 Getting in and out of the shopping center where Market of Choice is scary! People turning left during rush hour, no turninglanes on Willamette. They should be forced to go to stoplight on 29th or made to only turn right. Some of the houses on29th are very shabby - not a good look coming into the Southtowne, as they seem to want to promote a more prestigiousair.

Sep 8, 2009 9:36 PM

52 Crime is a growing threat to the neighborhood. There are few opportunities to operate a profitable business. This results inaffordability issues.

Sep 12, 2009 1:31 AM

53 I am satisfied with the parks and other natural areas in my neighborhood but I want to make sure that in the years to comethese areas are not developed. The lack of traffic and the quiet in this neighborhood is nice and I would not like to seemore businesses and traffic in the neighborhood.

Sep 12, 2009 10:59 PM

54 I apologize; I really don't have a compelling list for "anyone" to do over the next 3 years. Sep 13, 2009 10:42 PM

55 Appearance: Roads are run down and rough. Prperties are in various conditions of care. Some properties neatly cared for,some are an eye sore. Too many broken down cars line the street. See a lot of un-attended dogs roaming nighborhood.Biking & Walking: Sidewalks are cracked and overrun and overgrown with weeds and properties yards. Trees hang lowand interfere with walking and biking. No Bike paths, parking lines the street. People use driveways as storage of junk andbroken down cars.Safety: Homeless people lurk. People walk down sidewalk and look into cars parked along street.

Sep 14, 2009 6:07 PM

56 There is no bus service past 40th street on Willamette for High school kids. Just two bus trip during morning and afternoonfor schoolkids would be a great addition.

Sep 14, 2009 8:08 PM

57 1) I am finding more traffic on Dillard Road than I like and would like to see it slowed down and/or reduced if possible.

2) There are never enough recreation options. It would be nice to see a health club or gym in the area.

3) This is primarily a rural area and additional lands dedicated to parks and/or natural areas is an important goal.

Sep 14, 2009 11:12 PM

58 No real room for expansion in the neighborhood; only place close is the shopping area @ 40th & Donald st. Sep 15, 2009 9:00 PM

59 This street is private and has no on-street parking. However, our house was built in 2004 and the construction companypoured a street too steep to drive up. I would like to see one-side street parking for guests.Safety has been a recent concern with several car break-ins. There are some major issues within our HOA, several people do not get along with one couple in particular and it hascreated a lot of tension in our immediate neighborhood. Outside of our HOA area, however, there is a great sense ofcommunity in the Southeast Neighborhood.

Sep 17, 2009 11:57 PM

60 There is a single mother with teen age kids who lives across the street, and the kids practice with thier punk rock band inthe garage of the house they rent. Some of the neighbors have spoken with the mother of the kids and with the owner ofthe house, and neither of them are willing to do anything about this issue. When I am working in my garden or in my housewith the doors and windows closed, I do not feel that I should have to listen to unpleasant music, but do not know whatelse to do about this situation. I know a lot of the other neighbors feel the same way as I do. Additionally, living on PotterStreet off of 30th Ave., cars often drive at least 40-50 mph in front of our house, and I am especially concerned for theyounger children that live on our block, and play in the front yard.

Sep 18, 2009 6:53 PM

61 Biking - for the most part is good except conveniently crossing from one side of Amazon Parkway to the other (safely).

Recreation Options - My daughter would love to see more options for playing at Tugman Park (newer and morechallenging climbing and play structures).

Sep 18, 2009 7:27 PM

62 The road is so narrow and poor that two-way traffic is difficult and I will not let my children walk or ride their bikes at all(there is no sidewalk).

Sep 18, 2009 9:27 PM

63 O. There is a serious problem with wood burning in old fireplaces, chimneys, so that my house is surrounded by densesmoke too often in winter. E. I would love to see the land up the hill from us (steep for development and currently a natural area) made into a walkingarea that connects our neighborhood to LCC and allows learning opportunities for neighborhood residents--as well ashelping with stormwater and erosion control on steep slopes. Too much development up the hill from our street (Potter)seems connected to new issues with water/drought problems on or street.O. (2) I am very pleased with our local farmer's market and the neighborhood gathering place that Hideaway Bakery hasbecome. Would be great to encourage other gathering places/businesses of this sort.

64 Safety=with the ever increasing number of transients/criminals on every street intersection, downtown and anywhere in thiscity, we feel a need to be on high alert at all times and do not feel safe for our well-being, our vehicles and property! Wedo not understand why people are allowed to panhandle and loiter in the streets, sidewalks and park areas, creating anunwelcoming and unsafe environment for others. There has also been an increasing number of aggressive packs oftransients "casing", "canning" and conducting other suspicious activities in my neighborhood. Appearance/Other=thegraffiti, damaged properties and vacant properties in every area of the city are a disgrace to the upstanding citizens whowork, live and pay taxes in this city. We do not mind carrying our portion of the burden, but it seems that the city enablesunacceptable behavior and works against making any type of improvements or progress.

Sep 20, 2009 5:24 PM

65 I like my neighborhood just the way it is. Sep 21, 2009 8:16 PM

66 My neighborhood needs a small skate park. There are many people who have nowhere to skate and end up wanderingaround and using business and school areas. Our kids need a safe and somewhat supervised skate area where they canride freely without hindering businesses and feel like criminals themselves for practicing the sport. We have a beautiful fieldfor team sports we also need to support the kids who participate in individual sports. A skate park will draw not onlyskateboarders but BMX riders, roller bladers as well. Let's keep these kids in the neighborhood by providing what theyneed.

Sep 22, 2009 5:06 PM

67 more police patrols. repair the streets and sidewalks

Sep 23, 2009 3:55 PM

68 1) We desperately need a traffic light at the corner of 30th & University. It is so dangerous there. Yes there is an overpassfor walkers but not for bikers.

2) I want to see a push for free or cheap bus service ultimateley for all residents of anywhere that the bus goes, but maybestart w/ Eugene? I would be willing to pay more property tax for that. We need to "get out of the box" (the "box" being ourcars) if there is to be any chance of reversing the suicidal path this planet is on.

#2 will reduce traffic congestion as well as helping save the planet !

Sep 26, 2009 7:15 AM

69 1.The bus service on the weekends is a bit odd, buses run only hourly.

2. actually there are tons of recreation options in this area, I just wish there were bike lanes so people would stop ridingon the sidewalks.

3. Other........ I could NOT come up with three things I'd like to see improved so I took the easy way out and chose other.

Sep 26, 2009 4:09 PM

70 My neighborhood is great. It already does a great job on the three areas mentioned above (appearance, operating abusiness, and biking and walking). I'm not sure how the neighborhood would improve on these, however, along with a safeand quiet neighborhood, these are my top priorities and I am happy to take the opportunity to advocate for them.

Sep 28, 2009 5:16 PM

71 There aren't that many, and some of the houses could use some updating Sep 28, 2009 6:04 PM

72 Improved bus service on weekends (bus routes 25/28/24/73). Consider maintaining a walking path from Hillside & W.Amazon to Fox Hollow French school to cut down on traffic through neighborhood. Also, it would be good to post schoolzone signs with lights and pedestrian crossings near Fox Hollow French school: It can be difficult to see and be seen bycars during school pick up/drop off.

73 It would be nice if there were more community gatherings for people in my neighborhood that took place in the Southeasthills.It would also be great if there was more shopping available within walking distance; although driving down Willamettestreet into town is no hassle.

Sep 28, 2009 7:38 PM

74 E. I'm a big park lover, and there's only one nearby. I'd love to have more.F. Not much to do for fun around the neighborhood, although there are some nice trails right outside.K. Lots of green, lots of houses, a few schools, and a grocery. Would prefer more well-kept nature parks.

Sep 28, 2009 10:43 PM

75 Traffic is moving much too fast on Donald and fox Hollow and becomes very heavy on Friday evenings and when peoplego to work or return home.Crime has become a hazard in the neighborhood especially at 29th and Willamette. It would be ice to have a dept. store inthe area as they are ALL west or north of here

Sep 28, 2009 10:55 PM

76 There are not many recreation options. House rent is very expensive. The number of buses operating night time is toosmall.

Sep 29, 2009 3:17 AM

77 See answer in question 2-O under "other" Sep 29, 2009 5:23 PM

78 1. people drive too fast on e 43rd Ave and Dillard2. Just moved there, would like to meet more of the neighbors.

Sep 29, 2009 11:08 PM

79 Too expensive and therefor all white! This neighborhood should be accesible to everyone. Too many sexual assaults andbike theft. Always need better access to services.

Sep 30, 2009 7:23 AM

80 I can't think of any improvements from the list above. I would hate to see the forest behind Fox Hollow School developed.That would be a tragic loss of an incredible green space.

Sep 30, 2009 11:52 PM

81 Neighbors don't take care of yards/propertyBiking and walking: uprooted concrete on sidewalk, sporadic bike lanes, lots and lots of potholes in the street

Oct 1, 2009 8:12 PM

82 too far of a walk to the bus line and no bus in the summer Oct 2, 2009 5:28 AM

83 #1 Better bikeways that are clearly marked & maintained will encourage cyclists to use bikeways, commute, and addmultiple intrinsic values to the community. ***Liveability increases with increased safety from additional bike riders riding in larger numbers on better bikeways thatare on roadways, not just bikepaths or sidewalks. ***Research has shown that common commuting times, frequency are sufficient to maintain a healthy exercise practice. ***Auto traffic slows when more cyclists are on the roads, and overall safety increases. ***Additional cyclists commuting reduce the # of single occupant automobile trips made on the roadways.

#2 Bus service is an appropriate compliment to bikeways. Not all people are able to use bicycles. Increased frequency,and non-radial busroutes other than E-Max, would increase feasability as a viable competitor to the single occupantautomobile.

#3 Increase the multiuse zoning or encourge more density in existing multiuse zoned areas of SE neighbors. Organicfoods, Dining, Offices, located in the SE neighbors area could reduce trip distances for fixed-frequency trips that mostcommuters make. "Green" or sustainable- market based products and services are in high-demand, and on a rise.

An actual and whole-hearted effort to support sustainable, and organic living- practices in ANY part of eugene will attract,and retain additional like minded citizens from all demographics.

84 I would like to be able to walk to grocery stores, restaurants, bars, and stores. (Although the biking distance really isn't thatbad.)

Also, there is bus service nearby (Amazon Pkway) but I wish it were more frequent, particularly in the morning; there's arandom 30 minute gap in service right at a key time when I often need to get into town.

Oct 2, 2009 3:30 PM

85 My concern is to not be worried with needless business and housing that is already here. I have a common motto, "if it'snot broke don't fix it". Unnecessary development promotes more needless sprawl, i.e. more homes equates to more banks, schools, grocery,and gas stations. Let's use what we got and harness a community that is localized, stable, and natural.

Traffic Congestion- I just put that because it would be nice to see more citizens utilizing their own legs instead of anengine. :)

Parks and natural areas can be improved by providing more trash and recycling receptacles. Amazon area pesticidespraying is causing many health problems for the southeast. Those with upper respiratory conditions sometimes cannotleave their homes. The healthy population is also suffering. Some of us are concerned about adequate lighting on the running paths at night. thanks!

Oct 3, 2009 1:41 AM

86 I would like to see more activities or events (such as the Amazon Park Campouts) that bring people in the communitytogether and create an atmosphere in which we can raise our kids together.

Secondly, I would like to see a variety of homes that would be affordable to rent or buy for the average/middle incomefamily. I am the sole wage earner for my family and we want to buy a house in this neighborhood, but our options arelimited.

Overall, I feel safe in my area. However, there are 2 things that could be improved. First, the proximity of the EWEBtransformers to people's houses. We live across the street from one and it seems like a health hazard to have one so closeto our home. Second, the few hate crimes that have happened near Spencer Butte Middle School in the last 2-3 yearswere a shock and a disappointment. Most people in this neighborhood do not condone hateful or criminal behavior, but Iam hoping that conditions & attitudes can continue to improve so that everyone feels safe.

Oct 3, 2009 5:48 AM

87 We live on E. 33rd Ave, which is very busy with auto traffic. The traffic control system placed between Donald and HilyardSt. several years ago, has been modified and is almost useless now. People continue to drive with speed much above the25MPH limit and we seldom see police patrolling activity. Having only Ferry St. as the cross street between Hilyard andDonald St, it is very unsafe to walk across. Though the street is wide, I don't feel safe to bike on E. 33rd Ave. due to thetraffic control island (proper name?), which is very ironic.

We are also concerned with air quality during fall and winter with improper wood burning. When we just get out to ourdriveway, we often smell smoke with possibly plastic or some sort of "shouldn't be burned" materials from people's homes.Much of these may be due to ignorance, but others may be due to the wood stoves installed improperly and don't meet thecode. Safety is mostly around the traffic issue. We feel fairy safe around here in terms of the crime level, though we've had abicycle stolen from our backyard near the back door. I realize that only a handful of people create these disturbances,though.

88 This appears to be an upper income neighborhood with a few rentals around, but I don't see affordable housing per se inthis neighborhood. Also, if there is a senior retirement living area here, I'm unaware of it.

Re - Biking and walking: It's a hilly area with tight/narrow roads. There aren't bike lanes in the residential areas - only onEast Amazon and that street provides the best walking area also. That trail is awesome! I'm unsure what the city would doto improve walking or biking accessibility here other than build other trails.

My experiences thus far is that the neighbors here are happy to complain but did not offer welcomes to the neighborhoodor friendly outreach.

Oct 3, 2009 6:39 PM

89 The many bike paths are unsafe for walkers -- bike riders inconsiderate and even bullying. They should be required to beLICENSED, INSURED, and have lights and warning bells on their vehicles -- city spends a fortune on special pathways forthem but requires nothing in the way of reciprocal responsibility. Parks need to be more accommodating for older users -- Amazon Park put in over a dozen benches, but with no backs orarms on them, -- doesn't work for elders. Also, they planted 3 trees at each, but almost none of those trees havesurvived.....what an ourageous waste of our tax monies!Also need to keep the MANY drunks away from the park and greenway area between Amazon and Tugman Park -- theycongregate because of proximity of Albertsons (turn in bottles, get booze).Parks are for more than just youth and sports -- give some thought to how elders might use them.

Oct 3, 2009 10:59 PM

90 Always nice to have more businesses.Need for more affordable housing is obvious.HOa in my neighborhood stupidly has implemented no parking on street.

Oct 4, 2009 8:37 PM

91 Police should make an effort to stop burglaries...........Speeding on Fox Hollow is a safety problem................Taxes are getting too high and police (and sheriff) are concentrating their efforts on providing income for the CityAdd to this the poor management of Lane County and we are already looking for a place to move

Oct 5, 2009 2:45 PM

92 Burglaries in the neighborhood, not pursued by the police.Children littering and defacing property to/from school.Blind curve on Fox Hollow as it approaches W Amazon is an accident waiting to happen, especially for bicycles. Peoplepark on the street in the bike path.

Additional comment: there should be no on-street parking; all housing units should have sufficient driveway parking.

Oct 5, 2009 7:23 PM

93 I would like a speed bump or some way to slow people down especially in winter time when the hill is icy I worry they willslide right into my car.

I think the bus services is limited for up or down Willamette. It is difficult for me to get a bus in walking distance to lane or Uof O. I have to walk to amazon station which take almost a half hour.

Many people in the neighborhood are older and not as friendly as they could be, but it is better than other neighborhoods Ihave lived in.

Oct 7, 2009 7:50 PM

94 Continue to repair streets and use preventative maintenance such as crack and pavment slurry.

Continue to develop atractive landscapes on roadways that are used to enter our city.

Encourage propeorty owners to keep up property apearances.

Continue with professional public saftey departments

Oct 8, 2009 4:20 PM

95 The large shopping center at 40th & Donald seems to be a NON-destination for the neighborhood, and the businessessuffer. We all drive past that center and head to 29th & Willamette. I'd like to see that shopping center get a face lift toattract more and better businesses. I'd also like to see the center maintained better. The walk ways are often covered withlitter and cigerette butts.

Oct 10, 2009 1:55 PM

96 So many people walk and bike up Fox Hollow and I would love to be able to walk up to Ridgeline but I don't feel safewithout a sidewalk and possibly some lights in the winter when it's dark in the mornings and evenings.

I would love to live in a neighborhood where the neighbors all know each other. I am currently on the end of the street in arental and there is a lot of turn over in the area and my neighbors are all pretty shy. Mostly I think this is a problem I needto solve. I'm not sure what the city can do.

We had some items (snow tires) stolen off our property. The theft was lame but the circumstances were worse. Ithappened when we were out of town AND our dogs were with us rather than at the house during the day when we're outand the dogs are there. That makes me think someone was watching us and that freaks me out!

Oct 13, 2009 5:23 PM

97 The other section above clearly defines what I mean here by my first choice O. other. It refers to traffic speed and the factthat the street is used by folks from all the surrounding area as a pass-through, and is not considered by many assomeone elses neighborhood. I spend a lot of my time, energy and money to improve and care for. Second Choice N. Safety - I feel that the speeds that drivers go down our street are extremely dangerous to everyone whouses the street for walking, biking, driving, and living.

Third Choice M. Place I want to stay. Because I spend a lot of my time, energy, and money trying to care for and improvemy property I feel discouraged by the lack of traffic enforcement and respect by drivers who use the street. It makes mewonder why folks are allowed to just charge through ignoring the painted devices and/or breaking down or off the priorcalming devices with no protection or input from law enforcement. I would not feel safe trying to address the issue withpeople on my own and I sometimes even anger people trying to turn into my driveway, because they are so used to goingstraight down the middle of the road at excessive speeds with little regard for consequences.

Oct 15, 2009 9:57 PM

98 I would like to see more sidewalks in my immediate neighborhood so if I don't want to walk on the wooded path and wantto stay nearer the houses I don't have to walk in the street so much. Also, (and I don't know what the city can do aboutthis) I would just like the rental properties near us to be kept us nicer, especially the yards. It's sad to see some of theseplaces so run-down or junk-y looking when the other homes and yards are looking well-cared for.I have to admit, I could get to know more of my neighbors better. Maybe I need to see what our neighborhood associationis up to and see if they need help planning a party or potluck or something for us.Lastly (and this is connected with knowing my neighbors better) I'd like to have or find out if we have some kind of aneighborhood watch group or other organization that could help us all feel safer, including perhaps a plan for naturaldisaster or terrorist attack.

Oct 16, 2009 7:16 AM

99 1.Donald street has a lot of traffic, because of the hill, people love to speed. Sometimes I have seen vehicle going inexcess of 50 miles per hour on our street. We have a lot of children, bikers, walkers and wildlife on this street and wouldlove the traffic to be aware and to slow down. ( At least go the speed limit) What a concept! I am afraid that someday askateboarder going over the speed limit and a vehicle doing the same will crash right in front of my house. I have seenenough dead animals and close calls. It would be great if something could be done about this problem.

Oct 17, 2009 6:52 PM

100 I feel I need to always have my doors locked due the regular inebriated homeless who pass by my home.Many houses are ill-kept (yards, house conditions)I enjoy the Amazon parks and paths - safety issues are a concern. I would enjoy neighborhood walks if the propertieswere more well-kept

Oct 17, 2009 7:30 PM

101 This city has little police patrol. I would feel safer with this. Theft is very high here, and much of that could change byhaving more police around.

Oct 17, 2009 7:44 PM

102 NO Amazon headwaters development!!!! The land that is already legally approved ??? there is too much treecutting/clearing...looks like land slide time to me.

The additional "park" of Amazon headwaters could make this a go to area...and support local restaurants, etc. Buy theentire site.

Not exactly certain on this but I believe you did this right near Amazon Park and up Fox Hollow. They look like they fit andthe management seems good as they are not looking like dumps.

Oct 17, 2009 8:01 PM

103 I would like to see a more realistic plan for development. For example, the Woodfield Station (Willamette Plaza to most ofus) could have used a store such as a small Fred Meyer or Target or some other variety store like that. Big 5 sportinggoods store is ridiculous. It doesn't have a wide range of sporting goods - nothing for runners. It only meets the needs of afew and the space could have been more appropriately used. We really miss the Emporium, so something that gives ussome options so that we don't have to drive across town. We could just really use some more affordable options for avariety of shopping/eating experiences on this side of town.

Oct 17, 2009 8:05 PM

104 I really only know my next door neighbor. People don't reach out to each other very much around here. Maybe, it isbecause the neighborhood is in transition from rentals to family owned housing. That said, I could reach out more, too.

We all could spruce up our yards a bit.

People could drive slower down Amazon and Hilyard and there needs to be a bike lane going up West Amazon and down East Amazon and on Hilyard unless you want us on the side walk next to Tugman Park anddown to the bike path.

Oct 17, 2009 8:24 PM

105 few opportunities to meeet with others..street design/park use( lack of)

safe crossing for bikes and peoplo needed t 32nd and hilyard ( in order to get on bike path0 going to 3oth and hilyard is adangerous crossing for people and bikes( traffic volume, speeds, and turning traffic at each corner, 4 lanes of traffic tocross in a residential neighborhood..what about an underground tube crossing at 32nd and Hilyard? common inEurope..already one at Amazon parkway and 3oth

Oct 17, 2009 10:07 PM

107 The bus service at night is poor

I don't know

Maybe another restaurant or two

Oct 17, 2009 10:07 PM

108 N. Better Police enforecement of speed limit postingsC. Reduce thru traffice activity.E. More drevelopment.

Oct 17, 2009 10:19 PM

109 There is only one bus stop at Spring and 30th

More access to the area around LCC

Establish neighborhood watch

Oct 17, 2009 10:46 PM

110 H. New developments: Not really an addressable concern; '60's and 70's "modern" style architecture isn't coming back(hopefully) anytime in the near future.N. Safety: It seems that people really like to speed up and down Larch st. This is somewhat disconcerting as the top of thestreet is a blind hill/curve combination and many neighbors at the bottom of the hill have small children that play in thearea. It is not uncommon to see vehicles traveling well in excess of the posted 25 mph speed limit. Myself and others havemade complaints to EPD with no results. An occasional patrol would be nice; it would likely make the speeders reconsidertheir actions.M. Place I want to stay: I like this neighborhood; however, parts of it are kind of dumpy.

Oct 17, 2009 10:52 PM

111 More dedicated bike lanes, fix that horrible stretch of Willamette between 24th and 29th (two lanes, center turn lane, bikelanes on each side)

Oct 17, 2009 11:40 PM

112 1. Because of number of home break-ins, we feel nervous whenever we leave the house.2. Despite years of asking the city to do something about enforcing the speed limit on Agate and making the street safer,very little has been done and I'm afraid nothing will until we have fatalities.3. The closest bus stop is on 30th and University or 30th and Spring...very long walks in winter on icy hills. It would help ifthe bus stopped on 30th at bottom of Agate.

Oct 17, 2009 11:44 PM

113 I would like to see sidewalks on the last two blocks of 32nd, as it is the only access to our street. Everyone has to walk inthe street with the traffic. Any kids living on Onyx and upward have to walk in the street to get to either Harris Elementaryor Parker Elementary. More folks might walk to the places like Albertsons and Mazzi's if there were sidewalks.

Oct 17, 2009 11:49 PM

114 Appearance - The increasing number of rentals in the area is resulting in a some unkempt residences.Connectoin - Maybe for the same reason the residents do not seem to be overly friendly.Safety - Although there have never been any problems as of this date, our street seems to be the main path for bottle/cancollectors going to the store to redeem the deposit.

Oct 17, 2009 11:59 PM

115 Bus service to 52nd and Willamette is almost non-existent. Oct 18, 2009 12:17 AM

116 G. would like more nodal developmentN. bikes & cars - responsible behavior for bothpolice patrolsB.weeknd service would be great

Oct 18, 2009 12:27 AM

117 Continued mainenance of the natural areas surrounding the neighborhood. Oct 18, 2009 12:29 AM

118 B. Bus service isn't too great out this side of town, especially on weekends. I'd like to see more buses after 6.

G. I'd like to see a maybe a convenient store out East or West Amazon closer to my house, maybe some kind of smallplaza. No big developments. It's pretty far to Albertson's on 30th or the Safeway in the Hills. It would do good business andbring the SE community together a little.

F. I love all the parks and fields. The jogging trail is perfect. I'd just like to see a community center with a gym and maybe asauna or indoor pool, something similar to Emerald Park out the River Road area. Amazon pool is great, just not open allyear, no gym and isn't as close as I'd like it. We need something out past 30th. 40th even. I would GLADLY pay per use orfor a reasonable monthly membership.

Oct 18, 2009 12:41 AM

119 there's not enough of a neighborhood feel with a choice of grocery/restaurant etc - i'd like to live in a neighborhood that'smore walkable in regards to needs & services.

Oct 18, 2009 12:51 AM

120 A. Biking and walking. There are no sidewalks on Potter St. between 37th Ave. and 38th Ave. This is not really a problemfor me specifically, though.

Oct 18, 2009 12:52 AM

121 1) We have children that bike to Spencer Butte Middle School and trying to cross East Amazon on Fox Hollow in themorning is hazardous. There is a stop sign at West Amazon, but nothing on East Amazon. With a bus stop there and theapartments as well, a cross walk or stop sign would be beneficial. This area is an accident waiting to happen.

2 and 3) We'd like to see less large scale development on the hillsides around our neighborhood and more areas leftnaturally. The developments on 43rd (up the hill) are really taking away from the natural beauty and will only increase therun off down the hills toward our homes. We've already had issues in the past and increased pavement and concrete, willonly make it worse.

Oct 18, 2009 12:52 AM

122 O. Too many off leash dogs that can potentially threaten us and our dog.

A. Biking and walking is sometimes uncomfortable with so many off leash dogs.

K. A few too many rundown homes with unkempt and overgrown yards, that are fire hazards.

K. Clean out more of amazon creek-better vision and safety for runners and walkers on the rexius path.

Oct 18, 2009 1:01 AM

123 NO NEW Developments! I do NOT want another high density development placed here. Neither the wooded location northe roads nor space can tolerate it. Current development is at the limits of what this area can tolerate without losing qualityof life due to over-population and congestion.

Oct 18, 2009 1:06 AM

124 Would like to see sidewalks in the many areas where there are none for safer walking (Dillard Road for example!). Thereare not enough parks within walking or biking distance. It would be nice to have more opportunities to do things as acommunity, either socially, or in activities that would enhance and improve the neighborhood.

125 Would like to see the crappy run-down homes in this neighborhood renovated in line with the high rents charged by theabsentee landlord and investor classes that control Eugene Inc. You didn't ask, but I'd also like to see Eweb restructuredso that its services become affordable for the non-elites again. After rent (no bargaining power) and food (we have to stayalive), our next biggest bill is EWEB (anyone want to divulge what this monopolistic utility spends on salaries for its hugemanagerial workforce?).

Oct 18, 2009 1:26 AM

126 We have the Donald/40th area shops, but I would like to see some more restaurant/shopping options. Oct 18, 2009 1:42 AM

127 Our neighborhood is great, the only imporvements possible would be to further improve our parks and recreation areas,prevent traffic increase, and help keep up or improve the bike and walking paths/lanes/etc.

Oct 18, 2009 1:49 AM

128 need more commercial development in neighborhood.....without it use of a car is mandatorhy Oct 18, 2009 2:15 AM

129 New developments - 40th and Donald shopping area could be improved upon Oct 18, 2009 2:21 AM

130 The bus does not come up Willamette as far as my home. Oct 18, 2009 2:36 AM

131 The traffic on Dillard Rd off of E Amazon is heavy and usually travelling at high speed. It would be interesting to pursueoptions to at least slow the speed of traffic on E 43rd Ave and Dillard Rd near E Amazon.

There are several services close by but some other smaller businesses such as a corner store towards the South end of EAmazon would help create more of a neighborhood feel. I am not aware of the zoning for land on the South portion of EAmazon but if no commercial development is currently allowed, some should be.

Oct 18, 2009 2:47 AM

132 If the number of buses can be increased, that would be great! Oct 18, 2009 2:52 AM

133 I don't like the poor lawn care. I don't like the junk outside a few houses. Oct 18, 2009 3:12 AM

134 The roads are absolutely horrible in our neighborhood, especially Barber from Old Dillard, turning into South Shasta Loop.It is unsafe to walk - no sidewalks, narrow streets, high bushes. As soon as you crest the hill, you enter a much, muchhigher socioeconomic strata, and the streets are all perfect!

We can walk up the hill and be on the trail to Mount Baldy, on the Ridgeline Trail system. The trails have been somewhatimproved in the past 2 years, but poison oak and nests of yellowjackets keep us from going too often. I would love to beup there every week!

With no sidewalks, it is difficult to get out walking to meet neighbors. It is very dangerous, both in walking and driving.Very narrow streets! Very poor condition of streets!

Oct 18, 2009 3:16 AM

135 Ingress and egress to shopping center and other businesses at 29th and Willamette poorly planned and very problematic.Also not enough parking for commuters at Amazon bus station, lot is full by 10 AM every day that LCC is open.

Oct 18, 2009 3:27 AM

136 The neighborhood can be made to better looking. Oct 18, 2009 3:45 AM

137 C. there is LOTS of car traffic on this little stretch of Dillard Rd - need more access streets to the hill area.

G. would like a moderate priced high quality restaurant addition nearby

Oct 18, 2009 4:27 AM

138 Fox Hollow's speed limit is way too high! It is too difficult to enter/exit my home and also meet with neighbors as the streetis too busy with fast moving cars.

Oct 18, 2009 5:02 AM

139 1. I wish there were more frequent cross-town buses (E-W) at 29th, 24th, and 18th Streets. Right now I have to go all theway in to the downtown bus station to get places in west Eugene that I'd like to go.

2. The businesses at Edgewood Plaza (where Safeway is) seem kind of sad and run down. I wish that area had somebetter stores and more of a sense of vitality.

3. I have only been in this neighborhood a short time, but I wish it had more of a sense of identity, like the FriendlyNeighborhood, the Whiteaker and others. I do appreciate the annual picnic...

Oct 18, 2009 5:19 AM

140 No improvements needed Oct 18, 2009 5:31 AM

141 N.Too many drug/alcohol/drug users/dealers/loud partiers and barking dogs whose owners care less. Not always going on,but enough over the years to be very unpleasant at times. A. Nectar Way betweenWhiteaker and Center has no sidewalk.Lots of people walk in street to go to park;cars freq. speed on Nectar:IT'S UNSAFE! L. Now that I'm disabled and unable towork, I would like to find more ways to make connections with (some) neighbors.

Oct 18, 2009 5:49 AM

142 N. My home has been broken into and robbed within the past two years. Eugene has a serious crime problem.D. Random cars are left in our neighborhood. It takes weeks for them to be dealt with.E. I encourage the city to continue its investment in land for the Ridgeline Trail system and the beautiful parks in southEugene.

Oct 18, 2009 6:12 AM

143 Our street is long and is not welcoming to neighborly interaction. We need a SIGNIFICANT increase in area culs-de-sacand a retooled intersection at 35th and Kincaid.

Oct 18, 2009 8:36 AM

144 I had to pick something, so those are the areas I want the City to keep its eye on. I'm not dissatisfied with any of theseareas. That said, bus service is half a mile away from the section of Brookside & Braeburn where I live, up and downsteep hills. The only solution for elderly people who may no longer drive is thus taxi-cab, or move down to the flats. Justsomething to keep an eye on. Also, the access onto Willamette Street is increasingly congested. The Recession hasslowed the problem and kicked the level back to what it was about 5 years ago, but as the economy picks up, the trafficwill, too. An additional traffic light perhaps at 39th & Willamette will be needed sometime in the next five years. No doubtthis will also help calm the speeders on Willamette Street.

Oct 18, 2009 9:46 AM

145 We need speed enforcement and traffic controls. Also, the roads are in such poor shape that a car may easily get pulledinto a rut and hit a cyclist.

Oct 18, 2009 3:24 PM

146 There are homeless people who continually go through the recycling bins at our house. They come right into our smallcourtyard to do this and it makes me very uncomfortable as several times I have almost walked out of the house as theywere doing this. I don't think they would confront me, but I'm not sure and I don't want to find out. Our house was alreadybroken into once and personal property stolen. Every time we go on a trip, I wonder if we'll come home to a ransackedhouse.

The other issue that I would like addressed is the crosswalk at 30th and Hilyard, especially the lanes going east andturning right on Hilyard. I don't dare cross there with my baby as numerous times the motorists turning right have notlooked to see if anyone is crossing and we have had several near misses with people cutting us off. I would like to see thatfree right stopped at that intersection.

Oct 18, 2009 3:28 PM

147 The people in my immediate neighborhood are not friendly and do not take the time to get to know new people. We'vebeen here 3.5 years and as much as we've tried, we've talked to each neighbor less than twice per year. Also, I amdefinitely the lowest income person on my block and there is not enough variety of income levels in this area. I want tostay here because of the quiet, the trees, the schools and I want to make sure that continues.

148 We have a lot of college students that come and go so it's hard to make connections. Oct 18, 2009 4:08 PM

149 Actually failrly comfortable with what is already in place. Oct 18, 2009 4:12 PM

150 I like my neighborhood just the way it is. No more new development, please. No more on street parking, please. No morebusinesses, please. Keep the trees and hillsides natural. No more housing developments.

Oct 18, 2009 4:14 PM

151 Most aspects of my neighborhood are just fine. Oct 18, 2009 4:15 PM

152 The bike path from 39th AVE into Tugman Park is extremely dangerous at the bridge area - I have seem several bike andchildren near mishaps (solution: run a new path along the creek and connect it to the other entrance); develop andimprove the currently unimproved part of Tugman (i.e., the hill area); encourage more small buninesses into the plaza on40th - it would save driving to Woodfield Station Plaza.

Oct 18, 2009 4:25 PM

153 There are lots of funky homes around and it's a bit tacky overall. It's too far from shops, etc. for me personally. See above.

Oct 18, 2009 4:43 PM

154 My main problem is with the city planner, first off the decision to build numerous low income houses in the area off foxhollow and down by tugman park makes the area look and feel un-safe. Since the buidling of these areas there has beenan influx in crime, my car was stolen, my neighbors had hate/race crimes targeted at them and tire slashing. I think to takean area that doesn't have too many newer areas then fill the spots with low income houses and not homes where peopletend to stay and feel connected with the area was a HUGE disadvantage to the neighborhood, if we could take them outand sell the existing homes to families that would stay a life time that would be the best action to rectify the mistake. Also,the planner of woodfield station did an okay job but the parking and on/off street access is dangerous and I know manylocal people that avoid that area at all costs because it is not safe to get into and out of.

Oct 18, 2009 4:45 PM

155 Not as many parks as i would like. we need more bike paths. Oct 18, 2009 4:50 PM

156 1. as described in"O". This area could be trapped by forest fire.2. New I5 intersection and commercial development near LCC3. Mtn bike access to all Ridgeline trails.

Oct 18, 2009 5:01 PM

157 condition of roads (esp. Willamette) needs improved over the long term Oct 18, 2009 5:21 PM

158 I think all areas in Eugene need to improve on safety. Break in, stealing and transient population very concerning.

Traffic on 30th is intense. Difficult to cross 30th at the cross street with Harris...

Oct 18, 2009 5:28 PM

159 C: Traffic Congestion: I do not feel that our neighborhood is congested, per se. But I am concerned about a related trafficissue: speeding in residential areas. University Street and 32nd are both streets that get frequent use by pedestrians andbicyclists, including children. I would like to see attention given to the issue of speeding on those streets. I supposed thiscould fit under the "N" category also.

A: Adequate housing for a variety of income levels. I am not knowledgeable about the low income housing options inEugene. However, I am a proponent of clean, sustainable, and nice-looking housing options for low income populations. Ibelieve this addresses equity issues and helps promote a diverse community. Therefore, I have chosen this as one of mypriorities as an area I would like our community to be conscious of and engaged in.

E: Parks and/or natural areas: I am so pleased to live in a neighborhood that has beautiful parks, running paths,connection to trails, and natural areas. I value this immensely, and have chosen this as a priority because I would like ourcommunity to maintain and sustain what is already here, and continue to work for expansion in the parks and natural areasin our neighborhood. It's an incredible asset to the community.

Oct 18, 2009 5:30 PM

160 In the interest of the environment, I would like to see my neighborhood more easily connected to shopping areas andservices. I would like to be less concerned about break-ins.

Oct 18, 2009 6:26 PM

161 1 - need to fully protect the Amazon headwaters and the Ridgeline Trail corridor2 - seems like the bus only comes every 1/2 hr or hour; needs to be more often to be convenient3 - there is always opportunity for increased connections to my neighbors

Oct 18, 2009 6:32 PM

162 1) I think that new development in the hills around my house need stronger regulations regarding soil stablity. The infilldoes not blend well with the neighborhood and the setbacks are next to nothing.2) You can't rent a house for under $950 per month in my area and that is the low end.3) The weekends service is quite minimal.

Oct 18, 2009 7:19 PM

163 I. The neighborhood is mostly homeowners, so it may be hard to offer more housing for a variety of income levels,however, it is important for any community to have options as such. L. I wish there were more community activities, i.e. a more developed, less selective farmer's market? Though gettingdowntown from this area is not difficult.F. There are multiple parks, even including a swimming park, (Amazon, etc.), so I'm not really sure if recreational optionscould be improved on either.

Overall South Eugene is a great place. :) One of the most comfortable areas I've ever lived in.

Oct 18, 2009 8:09 PM

164 1. I have concern that the appearance of the neighborhood is going down, people aren't taking care of their yards, thereare more and more rentals whose owners do not maintain their yards which greatly contributes to the neglect and apathyof the whole neighborhood. City tree planting in the space by the sidewalks would help, especially across from Milton Park.2. New coffee shops, apartments, all with green designs (LEED certification) to make this a model neighborhood.3. continued upkeep on running trails has been essential.

Oct 18, 2009 8:10 PM

165 "Infill" development on tiny lots is a terrible fit for our neighborhood. It results in significant loss of privacy, increased noise,increased traffic, and decreased parking. See the spec house being constructed on East Amazon at 37th for an exampleof hideous infill development.

Regarding safety, I would be interested in a Neighborhood Watch group starting here.

Oct 18, 2009 8:18 PM

166 The intersection of 46th and Willamette can be dicey. People of speed on Willamette and cars turning on to Willamettefrom both 46th and Brae Burn Dr. often don't look for pedestrians crossing Willamette.

Oct 18, 2009 8:28 PM

167 I wish we had speed bumps on larkwood street on the way to fox hollow school. There is a home at the bottom of larkwoodstreet, across from the french immersion fox hollow school that has had garbage sitting all over the outside of it for about ayear. Can the city compel the owner to pick it up?

Oct 18, 2009 8:34 PM

168 1. Shadow Wood Park luckily doesn't get many visitors, but I would like more police patrols there at night becausesometimes people are there late.

2. We worked hard to get E. 43rd and N. Shasta No-Parking Zones, but the city rarely patrols to ticket people who areparked illegally there. Anyone parked on that side of the street turns it into a one-lane street.

3. This neighborhood is bounded on three sides by some of Eugene's most rich and precious natural areas. It should berigorously protected from dense, misguided, or environmentally insensitive development.

Oct 18, 2009 8:42 PM

169 You do not define what you think a neighborhood should be. In our immediate area you need to drive for everything,nothing is in walking distance and even if you use the bus you still have to walk up hill and for quite a distance. Many of the home owners in this area do not take pride in their homes which in turn reduces the value of our home.

Oct 18, 2009 8:55 PM

170 L. A connected neighborhood is a stronger community. A strong community is a safer, friendlier environment for all ages.It invites inclusiveness and helping each other during times of personal and community strife. A campaign encouragingstreets to develop community within the larger sense of the city defined neighborhood areas is a start.

O. This comes back to street repairs, vital for a strong transportation system.

F. The closest senior citizens center for my neighborhood is the Campbell Senior Citizen Center. That means taking atleast 2 buses to get there. There isn't much available here for people who don't jog or bike, walk long distances, or areconnected to a public school. Maybe public schools need to open their doors as neighborhood senior citizen centers orcrafts/cultural centers.

Oct 18, 2009 9:19 PM

171 There are a lot of homeless folks around. It would be nice if we could do more to get them off the streets and into a bettersituation.

Oct 18, 2009 9:50 PM

172 I don't feel the neighborhood needs improvement. It's great. Oct 18, 2009 10:00 PM

173 This was a desirable and quiet neighborhood with a livable amount of foot, bike and vehicle traffic until the city"improvements" were made. It has become less desirable to live here. We are increasingly concerned about theaforementioned concerns highlighted in question 2.O.

Oct 18, 2009 10:14 PM

174 I am very happy with my neighborhood and can't think of anything that needs changing or improving. Oct 18, 2009 10:49 PM

175 The bus does not come to my residence from Lcc. A man murdered someone on our street last year, making me feel unsafe. Homeless population dig through our trashmaking me feel as if our mail and security are in question. I would like to see more childrens parks with free access.

Oct 18, 2009 10:50 PM

176 Neighborhood commercial services are really too far to walk to. Oct 18, 2009 11:10 PM

177 Get rid of the stadium lights.Get rid of the steel fencing and concrete eyesore sports arena that no one asked any neighbors about before building.Or, give all the neighbors adjacent to the sports eyesore and earache a huge tax break. At least that way we don't have topay tribute to 4J to live on their land and put up with their noisy too.

Oct 18, 2009 11:48 PM

178 More bike lanes; more local community organizations for community vegetable gardens; adequate housing for lowerincome levels

Oct 18, 2009 11:58 PM

179 Hilyard St. is really worn down and it would be nice if it was repaired. Oct 19, 2009 12:06 AM

180 I would like to see less traffic in this area and more people biking or walking to the places they need to go. I also would liketo feel safer on the street I live.

Oct 19, 2009 12:21 AM

181 b. there is only bus service on 30th street.e. a park up here would be great.m. have the neighbor with all 20 cats move to the country.

Oct 19, 2009 12:32 AM

182 Many families live here with kids and they seem uninterested with neighbors or they are students without time or effort toconnect. A place to stay means havings friends in the neighborhood, this i lacking.New development seems to be upper class unlike the existing homes of middle class tennants.

Oct 19, 2009 12:34 AM

183 I like my neighborhood the way it is. Oct 19, 2009 12:38 AM

184 I would like more walking trails, a safer area with more police to make us feel safe, and to keep them in jail when theybreak the law. I also want the parks expanded and the natural areas vigorously protected.

Oct 19, 2009 1:00 AM

185 A. Would like to see designated bike lanes on both sides of E. and W. Amazon, plus sidewalks on the west side (southend) of E. Amazon.B. More frequent bus service would encourage me to take the bus more often.N. I am always concerned about safety and rarely, if ever, see police presence on my street.

Oct 19, 2009 1:19 AM

186 1st choice: More traffic control. Oct 19, 2009 1:54 AM

187 Would like to see continuation of small businesses local to our neighborhood Oct 19, 2009 1:59 AM

188 Clean-up graffiti, particularly on the mail boxes and utility poles. The City does make an effort to clean it when it isreported (I keep the Graffiti Hot Line on my cell phone to report it when I see it.) Also, along Hilyard and Patterson in thevicinity of the university, many of the rentals are in need of repair and clean-up. Garbage and recycling cans are left at thecurb even after the pick-up day. Garbage and debris litter the neighborhood, and it is an eyesore.

Also, we wish the city could control the panhandling that goes on by the Albertsons store at 30th & Hilyard. When thepanhandlers collect money, it is spent on beer and they sit around drinking along the Amazon. A neighbor observed adrug deal being made by one man who is on the corner daily.

Oct 19, 2009 2:13 AM

189 The complaints I have are probably not things you can change but here they are anyway since you asked.Some people I have encountered in this neighborhood are unfriendly.Drivers are terrible. I have no other complaints. It is a very nice neighborhood.

Oct 19, 2009 2:48 AM

190 The nearest bus service is almost a mile away and the terrain is steep. Oct 19, 2009 2:50 AM

191 I want to get to know my neighbors better on a personal level, especially since the recent home fire around the corner.

I'd love to have people slow down in our neighborhood where lots of children play. Because other streets near us havetraffic calming zones, our street becomes the next busiest. I'd love to have speed bumps or other traffic calming zone workput into place.

Our neighborhood tends to host mid-to-upper economic class people and I'd be interested to see this diversified acrosseconomic levels.

Oct 19, 2009 4:15 AM

192 I am nervous about cycling with my child in a trailer-there is some fast driving down the hills and on busy streets. Also, I ama little nervous about crossing busy streets while jogging in the mornings, the traffic is not always careful aboutpedestrians.

The bus service was good to take while I was pregnant. It could be a little better with more frequent service to theuniversity-but it is pretty good.

I do enjoy some of the local businesses, I'd love to see more cafes and such.

Oct 19, 2009 4:20 AM

193 Like it all, nothing to complain about. It would be nice to have a closer coffee kiosk. :-) Oct 19, 2009 5:25 AM

194 B. 1. unable to access bus on Donald unless hike through woods and poison oak 3 seasons, mud 3 seasons. See answerto A. 2. Too long a hike to existing bus service way down on Willamette. L. neighborhood association is not meeting, we do not greet or know newcomers. Need regularly scheduled ongoingorganized potlucks or picnics or teas or appetizer or dessert gatherings.A. Need gate at end of Deer V. Dr. with lock box for neighborhood to access hiking trails to east. Too hilly to bike, in wintertoo icy to walk. Street not plowed.

Oct 19, 2009 6:22 AM

195 There are a number of empty buildings in the area near Market of Choice. I would love to see new, successful businesses.

I do not like the strip-mall like appearance of the shopping areas.

I would like to attend neighborhood gatherings but have not been available to attend the ones I saw advertised.

Oct 19, 2009 2:25 PM

196 The unkept look of numerous rental units brings down the quality of our neighborhood.

South Eugene has limited restaurants and convenient businesses - but this is not a huge problem as I find Eugene is easyto get around in so it's not a big deal to get to a good restaurant...but it would be nice to be able to drive less.

Oct 19, 2009 4:14 PM

197 Tugman Park is on the fringe of being taken over by homeless and gang, drugs...we try to keep it cleaned out, but it getsharder every year

the traffic speeding up 36th to Donald is extremely fast.

Oct 19, 2009 4:20 PM

198 Refer to 'O' (other) for the explanations. Oct 19, 2009 4:44 PM

199 The grassy areas surrounding Amazon Creek need to be mowed. The brushy area next to the creek would be easy tohide in. The brush should be thinned out. We live in the city, not the country. I am not interested in saving threatenedplant species within the city limits.

Oct 19, 2009 4:50 PM

200 None. The neighborhood is great. The only problem is an overabundance of turkeys which cause property damage. Oct 19, 2009 5:35 PM

201 Traffic congestion should be traffic control. Other is City Council person who is of this world. Oct 19, 2009 6:22 PM

202 1. Too much street parking. Why can't people use their garages and/or driveways. People park on both sides of thestreet which makes for a narrow passageway which I think is dangerous.2. no easy access to the common areas that are supposed to be open to the entire neighborhood and not just the housesthat border them.3. I had a lawn mower stolen that was temporarily setting at the side of my house. Having people cruising looking forthings to steal does not make me feel safe.

Oct 19, 2009 6:33 PM

203 Fairly dense as it is, so not much room for more natural area. What is available should be maintained. Concerned withbridge in the Shadowood park with no railings. Safety issue.

Oct 19, 2009 6:37 PM

204 See the note with other regarding speed bumps or the like needed. There is no bus on Brae Burn or Brookside Drive. Toomany hills to navigate as we age, expecially in the rain and neighbors not cleaning the side walks. Restaurants, etc. do notsurvive in our area.

Oct 19, 2009 6:44 PM

205 N. There are a number of "street" people that roam -- making me feel uncomfortable.K. While most of the neighbors keep up their homes and yards, there are some that do not -- which detract from those thatdo.H. Any new developments in my immediate neighborhood would probably mean panhandle lots -- which I do not considerattractive; it also minimizes yard size.

Oct 19, 2009 7:02 PM

206 No need for improvements, thank you. It's just fine the way it is. Oct 19, 2009 7:24 PM

207 1. While we enjoy and take advantage of Tugman and Amazon Parks, we would definitely like to see more natural areaspreserved - such as the Amazon headwaters area.

2. Donald St. can sometimes resemble a race track! Both walking and biking would be safer and easier if people obeyedthe speed limits and stop signs. The intersections around Spenser Butte Middle School are pretty much a free-for-all duringdrop off and pick up times!!

3. We are actually very happy with our neighborhood. Would hate to see any big new developments that would change it.

Oct 19, 2009 7:46 PM

208 Our back yard backs up to 30th Avenue and it is terribly noisy. Semi trucks use their jake brakes, motorcyclists race, carsuse the road as a drag strip...this disturbs the serenity of our home and garden. We do no entertaining outside because ofthe constant noise.

Transients live in the woods near our home. Their camps are periodically found and dismantled. This is a concern for theentire neighborhood.

Continued improvement of the Ridgeline Trail is appreciated. Vandals are already defacing and stripping bark from thetrees along the new path.

Oct 19, 2009 8:13 PM

209 1) no more residential development of natural areas2) no more residential development of natural areas3) no more residential development of natural areas

210 1) Since there many speeding and negligent motorists, it is often dangerous to cross Amazon Dr. and even Potter Street.In order make the E. Amazon Dr. intersection with Potter St. safer for children and adult pedestrians, it would be good if thecity would place an full 4-way stop at that intersection. Also, a pedestrian signal should be placed at E 39th Ave. and E.Amazon Dr. to insure safe crossing of school children and Kincaid Park users.

2) It would be desirable to move more through traffic onto Amazon and off of Potter Street.

Oct 19, 2009 9:33 PM

211 I would like to be able to park my car on the street and not have the windows smashed in. It happens frequently (2 times tome in one year) in this area. I would also like to see more bus stops and EMX style buses going over the 30th street hill toLane College.

Oct 19, 2009 9:41 PM

212 H. Some new homes in the area are of very diverse design and size compared to existing homes. The "In fill" of housingon existing lots should be compatible with the current neighborhood, in size and design rather than being huge homes, orones of unusual design. They are not complementary to exisiting homes. K. Some homes in this neighborhood are inpoor states of repair and/or have overgrowths of vegetation that decrease property values. Would like to see thecommunity get involved in helping people fix their homes and property by offering low-interest loans, or volunteer fix-upprojects, sort of "Habitat for Humanity" type help to these homeowners.

216 B. Would be nice for older people to have bus service along braeburn, but this may be impractical.O. Braeburn and Normandy need resurfacing.N. Continue to protect neighbors greenbelt buffer from encroachment by Resthaven cemetery.

Oct 19, 2009 10:35 PM

217 We need speed humps at Tugman Park. People drive too fast going up and down Hilyard St.! Oct 19, 2009 10:35 PM

218 1st..Native plantings at Tugman, or anywhere, must not turn in 6 foot grass where transients hang out. This is becoming aproblem all along the Amazon Slough. VISIBILITY makes it less attractive for them. I don't like to see transients and drugsmoving into my neighborhood.2nd...New developments. The concept of "infill" in neighborhoods is good but too many new developments spoil formerneighbor's views, privacy, livability. There should be higher or more restrictive standards which brings me to...3rd...Parking! Where are we going to park all the cars that will move into all the new tall apartments popping up nearcampus? OK. It's not exactly my neighborhood, but I have to commute thru this area every day. New development needsto have realistic, adequate parking.

Oct 19, 2009 10:41 PM

219 1st Choice: While traffic is not heavy, drivers speed excessively. There are duplexes and homes that are rentals whichbrings in more transient types of renters.

2nd Choice: The city does not maintain curbs and sidewalks. Many residential homes are now rentals and are notmaintained very well.

3rd Choice: It is 4 blocks to the nearest bus stop and during snowy weather much further because of the hills.

220 c. speeding is a probleml. need to know more peoplee. natural development versus artificial sports fields.

Oct 19, 2009 11:05 PM

221 D. The parking up 43rd, off Dillard Rd is very limited. Due to the narrow road, people are forced to park one one side only,and it seems that every person renting the houses across the street has more than one car... I have been involved in epicbattles of wit, and spot stealing in my culdesac.

O. I believe traffic safety courses should be offered to the local deer population. They do not seem to understand theconcept of horns, flashing lights, or the stopping distance of a moving vehicle.

Oct 19, 2009 11:31 PM

222 we currently do not have a bus service within a close walking distance. Neighbors were robbed in broad daylight. Peoplepark too many cars on the street and block the road. They should be ticketed and/or towed.

Oct 19, 2009 11:46 PM

223 Can't think of improvements I would make Oct 19, 2009 11:51 PM

224 None....all are adequate Oct 19, 2009 11:51 PM

225 It is at least 2 miles to nearest grocery, and there is only one restaurant within that radius also. I don't mind driving orbiking, but it would be nice for those not as mobile to have more choice. I suspect that zoning ordinances restrict this areato residential?

Oct 20, 2009 12:25 AM

226 Would be nice to have bus service all the way up Willamette St. Other than that, we love our neighborhood. Oct 20, 2009 12:51 AM

227 Large, heavy trucks (including Eugene city maintenance vehicles) drive right past the "no trucks" roadsign symbol postedon Old Dillard Rd off Dillard Rd, and further damage our narrow, winding, potholed residential Barber and South ShastaLoop streets. They have fabulous alternative access via broad, paved new streets for all the addresses on SpringBoulevard ridge and upper E. 43rd by using E. 30th to Agate or Spring. (I believe GPS may be erroneously directing themthe hard way.) Their intrusion puts a heavy burden on our barely adequate residential access and is certainly morechallenging for their drivers and trucks. They generate unnecessary neighborhood noise pollution and create awkwardchallenges for 2-way traffic. A simple education program for city workers would help and signs that redirect the unknowingto a sensible access.

Oct 20, 2009 1:01 AM

228 We love living here. We have bus service on Donald St., but it would be a bit of a hike for an older or disabled person toget to it. It would be great to have a bus stop on Willamette and Marlboro.

Oct 20, 2009 1:07 AM

229 1 - Where's the neighborhood block party? I'll bring the margarita machine.

2 & 3 - I'd rather work at preserving the natural beauty of the area than allow developers to come in here and muck it all upwith little boxes made of ticky tacky.

Oct 20, 2009 1:38 AM

230 Living in this neighborhood cuts you off a little bit from the convenience of living out of the hills. There aren't any placeswithin walking distance like small markets or coffee shops. On 30th near LCC it would be nice to have something like aDairy Mart, drive thru coffee, or small market.

Oct 20, 2009 1:55 AM

231 1st. Pave lower Old Dillard Road2nd. Pave Dillard Road where the "S" turns are. Very dangerous for cyclists. From "Eugene City Limit" sign to bottom ofhill. A lousy entrance to Eugene. 3rd. Nothing else

233 There IS crime here, rarely see a police car....Not enough locals shopping here.....there are NO health food stores south of 30th.Maybe a South East Farmers MArket?

Oct 20, 2009 3:56 AM

234 I would like some new families to move into the several houses up for sale on my street... and I would like those families tobe nice and friendly and not mean and nasty like some of my current neighbors. Public safety needs to be improved in theentire city. Other - extreme people and situations are not welcome... I want serenity when I am at home.

Oct 20, 2009 3:57 AM

235 Expanded routes and times for neighborhood. Oct 20, 2009 4:20 AM

236 No areas to improve on really Oct 20, 2009 4:26 AM

237 More development where the community can come together more, safely. Oct 20, 2009 5:18 AM

238 I wish there was a Bi-Mart or Fred Meyers closer to Southeast Eugene. I frequently have to drive to west 11th to do myshopping. Most of the new stores that opened at Woodfield Station I have never been inside.

Oct 20, 2009 6:15 AM

239 I'm not sure what to suggest, other than perhaps a neighborhood watch or perhaps an occasional police drive-by. Myhouse sits next to a large wooded area and has been a target for break-ins since I moved here in 1981. I have had astand-alone (unmonitored) home alarm system, as I travel frequently away. My friends in other less-safe looking areas ofthe city have not had the burglary problems I have. Otherwise, I am happy with my neighborhood as it is. It's not really aplace for businesses, better bus service, or housing for a range of income levels.

Oct 20, 2009 6:24 AM

240 We moved to Eugene 7 years ago from Idaho. We like this neighborhood because we thought it was safe and clean andnatural. We are outdoor naturalist types for whom cleanliness (no graffiti either) and safety (being able to walk withoutbeing chased by stray dogs) and natural appearance in harmony with the earth (no more strip mall development like 29th &Willamette area) are imperative.

Oct 20, 2009 10:43 AM

241 IK. t would be nice if people would keep up their yards a little more and not leave tarp covered items within site. C. I would want to be sure they NEVER remove the barrier at Fox Hollow and Dillard. If they did we would all move.

Oct 20, 2009 3:20 PM

242 PSYCHOTIC PARENTS RACING< SPEEDING AND ENDANGERING myself, my dog and my neighbors' lives. I don'tcare if your kid goes to school at the snobby french school and you are late every day, that doesn't give you the right tospeed and drive like maniacs in MY NEIGHBORHOOD!

Oct 20, 2009 4:00 PM

243 It feels like while there is adquate housing in the higher end market there is very little for lower income families. There isbarely adequate shopping for basic necessities, but very little in the way of discount shopping. In our neighborhood peoplegenerally stick to themselves only coming out and interacting in the warmer months.

Oct 20, 2009 5:02 PM

244 Streets need to be resurfaced without changing size or configuration. Should be city responsibility to repair and properlymaintain.

Oct 20, 2009 5:41 PM

245 More habitat restoration along Amazon Creek, please. Oct 20, 2009 5:49 PM

246 Stop new development in natural areas/farmland. Concentrate building SMALLER, smarter houses for lower carbonfootprint, public transport access, and a variety of income levelsIncrease cooperation/resource sharing in neighborhoodContinue bus services into residential areas, extend for better access in hills

Oct 20, 2009 6:28 PM

247 Hilyard to Amazon becomes somewhat congested during rush hours...also people speed too much up Hilyard, in my opinion. The merging lane from 30th and Hilyard onto Hilyard is alsodangerous. People in the merging lane seem to not feel they are supposed to wait to merge with others. Safety--just wouldfeel more safe if so many cops weren't around checking on the homeless population. I am not against homeless but when Isee cops around I tend to think there are some problems.

249 Appearance - I would like to see people have more pride in their properties. Clean up, and keep maintained.Safety - I would like to see more neighborhood watchNew Developments - I would like to see businesses on South Willamette get a face lift.

Oct 20, 2009 7:16 PM

250 1. There are nice hiking trails, but no other recreation options.

2. No housing for lower income levels.

3. We have some vandalism off and on. I don't feel as safe here as I used to.

Oct 20, 2009 8:37 PM

251 1. I would like traffic control to slow down traffic on E. 40th Ave between South Willamette and Donald Streets. I havesmall children and I see cars traveling this section in excess of 45 MPH on a daily basis.

Oct 20, 2009 8:40 PM

252 Don't know how it would be improved, but when people park on E 43rd it can be difficult to navigate the streets. Oct 20, 2009 8:47 PM

253 Our immediate neighborhood above 40th doesn't have anything resembling low income housing. A St. Vincent de Paul lowincome development like by Tugman Park would be nice. I have become involved in efforts to put in a community gardenbehind the Edgewood Pool. Also in projects to develop gardens at Spencer Butte and Edgewood schools. We have livedhere for 35 years, and it has only been in the last year that we have started monthly neighbor gatherings. It came after anObama house meeting when people expressed the need to break out of their isolation and help one another. Within 20yards of our home, we have three women who were widowed last year. Before that, we're been what I would call a stick-to-yourself neighborhood and not very friendly or hospitable.

Oct 20, 2009 9:11 PM

254 While bus service is very accessible, LTD needs to service this area more (weekend schedules, more frequent stops). Oct 20, 2009 9:59 PM

255 I love the neighborhood and have no desire to see improvement except that there is far too much noise with machines (leafblowers and other motor-driven machinery running during the day and on weekends). This is highly annoying. I would liketo see some regulation to set hours forthese machines to be used.

Oct 20, 2009 10:21 PM

256 Commercial development is subpar - redevelopment needed.

Willamette St. needs bike lanes.

Crime is high.

Oct 21, 2009 1:19 AM

257 Though neighborhood safety is reasonably acceptable, decreasing property crimes throughout the neighborhood &panhandling by homeless neighbors along Hilyard and the bike paths would make this neighborhood significantly morecomfortable.

My family enjoys walking & biking in the neighborhood. Though not a serious problem there are abandoned automobiles,some trash along the streets and some rental homes in need of better upkeep which prevent the neighborhood from beingas pleasant as it could be.

258 A. Missing sidewalks in some places hinder walking. The intersection of 43rd Av and Dillard Road is dangerous whencrossing 43rd. Walkers on 43rd and wanting to cross to the north can be hard to see for traffic northbound on Dillard. Treesblock line of sight.Some neighbors allow their shrubbery to grow out over a large part of the sidewalks in the area.B.It is difficult to enter 43rd Ave. from Shadow Wood Drive. The configuration of 43rd and parked cars can force a driver todrive well out onto 43rd in order to see to the right. Meanwhile, a dip in 43rd blocks lines of sight to the left along ShadowWood.C.Some neighbors do not care for their property and the property becomes and eyesore. A Register Guard employeedelivering a late newspaper thought the house across the street from me was a rental because it is so run-down inappearance. It is owner-occupied. The yard is a jungle of dead plants. My neighbor is the worst example of several in thisneighborhood.

Oct 21, 2009 2:20 AM

259 1st - from 18th up to 52st St.on Willamette St. the street is really bad in some spots at 32th to 46th St.It's to dangerous todrive on with deep ruts in the pavement the pull your wheels side to side. 2nd - Bus service stops at 46th Willamette for the people living at the Rockridge and the Highlands Conds we have thatBIG Hill go up it's to hard and in the winter it's bad. 3rd - We need a traffic signal at Stonewood and Willamette! before someone is really hurt or dies!

Oct 21, 2009 2:58 AM

260 1. I would like to see more activities for teens, such as lower cost swimming pool, or covered sports area for youth to comeand socialize together, or crafts for younger children to participate in.Something for youth to spend time with other than video games or television2. I would like to see some enforcement of bicyclers being made to use the bike lanes provided for them, especially on FoxHollow. They seem to think they are motorists, and frequently travel in the driving lane, which on a curve, can behazardous to try to pa.ss them.3. Having interaction between the school children from Edgewood or even Jumpstart Academy and the seniors in the FoxHollow Nursing Home or the Eugene Good Samaritan Center would be wonderful for both ages involved. I bet there are afew volunteers in the neighborhood who would be willing to help facilitate a program such as this.

Oct 21, 2009 5:35 PM

261 other= year around amazon poolparks= more trails open to bikers/hikers/and runners in ridgeline areaplace to stay= rent prices are crazy all over town. we have a deal right now, but it's ridiculous!

Oct 21, 2009 5:41 PM

262 Sorry...don't have any cleear ideas about improvements Oct 21, 2009 6:23 PM

263 1. Would love to see a community garden in this area. I garden at Amazon CG and there are so few spots available andsuch a high interest. 2. Public transportation to this end of town (and all areas of town) could be improved. Smaller, more frequent buses?3. The traffic on Hilyard is often backed up. The lights seem to be set to stack up traffic rather than allow it a smooth flow.Overall, too much auto traffic for one street flowing towards city center.

Oct 21, 2009 6:38 PM

264 It's difficult making left hand turns onto 30th ave. particularly during peak commute times. Oct 21, 2009 7:10 PM

265 As I get older walking down to Willamette to get bus will get harder, itonly comes by twice a day on Brae Burn

Oct 21, 2009 9:27 PM

266 Locations of bus routes seem pretty good, but buses run very infrequently. Oct 21, 2009 10:16 PM

267 Would love easier access to public transit, such as more frequent bus service.

I am concerned about new development in unstable, steep areas as well as infill which destroys green space.

268 I LOVE everthing about my neighborhood. That's why I chose it. The only problem is that there aren't sidewalkseverywhere. There are a lot of walkers & joggers in our neighborhood, but cars are speeding down the hill on Agate. wealso need a crosswalk/flashing traffic light somewhere on 30th. The bike bridge is too difficult to use, especially for kids.The speed limit needs to be changed. I suggest to lower the speed limit to 35 by the bridge/on & off ramp to spring. It'shard to get out from Agate onto 30th with a 45 speed limit. Not very safe at all.

Oct 22, 2009 12:05 AM

269 Roads could be better paved, maintained and improved. Alternative transportation routes, like bike paths, should be preserved, maintained and developed further throughoutEugene.Parks and natural areas, along with recreational space, are of great community value and should be preserved, maintainedand improved.

Oct 22, 2009 12:19 AM

270 I bought a house that basically stole my artisitic heart.. the woods, the layout,the windows, the forest... I'd never lived up a hill.. I didn't realize how much i'd miss just walking out the front door to go 5miles, instead of driving down the hill to walk 5 miles. I absolutely miss biking. I will never be the "jock" it takes to get frommy front door to Hilyard & 30th and back.. my sons and husband on the other hand.. always have been rather into"extreme"

Oct 22, 2009 12:40 AM

271 none Oct 22, 2009 1:19 AM

272 More affordable houses/duplexes for low-middle income families Oct 22, 2009 2:33 AM

273 I want to keep development at a level that suits the neighborhood- small eclectic family owned businesses with attention toenvironmental sustainability. The national chain businesses do not match values of this neighborhood, and i do not shopat these places. I like our neighborhood being unique and diverse. I would like more emphasis on open spaces andnatural parks and recreation within our city borders.

Oct 22, 2009 2:48 AM

274 The bike paths are being rebuilt but there are just a few additions still needed. The flooding of the Amazon Creek paths(between E & W Amazon, SE off Hilyard) need to be fixed. Ask any walker/runner where the problem spots are. Thiscould be done at close to $0.00 to City if grants (materials & supplies), College & High School volunteers along with therunning and bicyle community were to donate just a bit of time and energy (required matching funds).

Oct 22, 2009 3:29 AM

275 It woiuld be nice to have buses run longer hours on the weekends.

I would like to have more get togethers with neighbors perhaps some recreational activities to get to know neighbors.

Oct 22, 2009 4:37 AM

276 The general difficulty and high expense for developers, particularly those that have larger pieces of property effectivelydrive our inability to meet buildable lands inventory and is unfair to property owners while catering to special interests.

Oct 22, 2009 2:34 PM

277 On my street (Kincaid), there are four large dogs from two different houses that periodically run loose. The day beforeyesterday another dog from Alder St was captured on my street. Two of the Kincaid St dogs who live together areunneutered male pitbull/lab mixes.

Since my niece in Alaska had reconstructive surgery on her face from a pitbull attack (the loving family pet of a friend), I nolonger feel as safe walking the neighborhood as I once did.

278 A) It's difficult to bike or take the bus from my home to point east, which is where my child attends school and where manyof our friends and our extended family live. Occasionally we walk or bike when we need to go east, but mostly we drive,despite being fit enough to enjoy the walk or bike. I would love to see an east-west bike path in southeast Eugene ,preferably near 29th Avenue...but where and how? There's a bike lane on 29th, but it's right down there with the busytraffic and is scary to use if you're at all faint of heart. Also, many drivers are unwilling to share the road with cyclists. Myhusband commutes to work by bike and gets yelled at about once a week simply for riding his bike, even though he followstraffic laws. Everyone needs to be more aware that harassing or hitting cyclists is a crime. It would be great to see someheavy-duty ticketing of those who endanger cyclists and pedestrians, as well as warnings given to cyclists who disobeytraffic laws.

It would be lovely to have a crosswalk or two painted on Lincoln St. near the Willard school building. There's a faint ghostof one on the pavement, and when my child and I cross that street, I gaze upon the faint hint of a crosswalk with longing. :)

B) I'd love to see more police patrols in Amazon Park, especially the outlying wooded area to the southeast, where drugusers and homeless people hang out. I love to walk but avoid this area when I'm alone or with my child, even though it'sjust between my house and the playground, which my family frequents. I've been harassed by presumed drug addicts inthe park, and often there are groups of teenagers blocking the bike lanes, which can feel threatening to a woman who'salone. These kids should be encouraged to stay in the park -- they need to be there more than anyone -- just not cloggingup the bike lanes.

L) No one wants their own alley or backyard to be built up, but it's part of the price we pay for having gorgeous naturalareas so close by. We need to continue to enforce an urban growth boundary and encourage dense population in thecenter of the city and near the university, while supporting businesses that help the downtown thrive. This will help theduller residential neighborhoods stay boring/calm/lovely while providing a lively downtown center for those who want moreexcitement. More support for homeless people seems to be needed too....

PS: We love it here!

Oct 22, 2009 5:42 PM

279 Thirty third gets really busy with traffic and has some run down homes. I do feel connected to my neighbors but I'd like toknow even more of them!

Oct 22, 2009 6:11 PM

280 Speed limit is to fast for Fox Hollow!!!! Oct 22, 2009 7:28 PM

281 Enforcement of existing codes. For example, there's a house on Willamette St near 36th Ave that was moved in circa2002. It's high up on a created foundation, with windows boarded up--totally unfinished and an eyesore. Why is thisallowed by building inspectors?

Also, a few houses on nearby streets have an assortment of old cars cluttering up the property or even parked in the streetin front of an address. I feel sorry for neighbors who have to see this every day.

Oct 22, 2009 9:43 PM

282 Better bike lanes Oct 23, 2009 12:50 AM

283 I would like tighter constrictions on the local pub, such as cutting people off when they have had enough.

I wish there was more local business support. Our Edgewood shopping center needs a laughing planet.

The #24 bus has few runs on the weekends.

285 1ST CHOICE is explained in the other column above. The traffic congestion and lighting caused by the new playing fieldat Spencer Butte Junior High.

2ND CHOICE is partly caused by the above and also caused by continued growth in the neighborhoods above us. Pleasenow cut thru my street to speed up their trip to 46th and Willamette causing concerns for the pets and children.

3RD CHOICE I would love more opportunities to meet and collaborate w/my neighbors.

Oct 23, 2009 8:10 PM

286 Somewhat isolated from most neighbors, most people in neighborhood would not ride bus anyhow. It's a long walk torecreate.

Oct 23, 2009 9:36 PM

287 There are too many homeless people that hang out in the alleys and along Amazon creek that leave trash, camp andgenerally leave me feeling like the neighborhood is dirty and unsafe. Another problem with my neighborhood is that moreowners are moving out and turning the houses into rentals for students. Several homes on my street are rented to mulitplestudents living together which means more cars, noise and junk in the yards and driveways. These rentals homes andyards are not maintained well or even hoped to be improved. I love my house that we newly remodeled but feel I want tofind another neighborhood that has homes owned by people who care about maintaining and improving their property.

Oct 23, 2009 9:43 PM

288 The houses are mostly on large lots, separated by fences. The neighbors that walk by are friendly, but there doesn'tappear to be a lot of other interaction.Sidewalks are 'spotty' thru this neighborhood, making walking a challenge at times.We dont use the bus because the nearest stop would require us to walk/push a wheelchair up the very long hill at 30th andSpring.

Oct 23, 2009 9:54 PM

289 I would like to improve the safety of walking and biking on 30th ave. It is an unsafe street for pedestrians and bikers tocross. I also feel like there should be a school zone designation for the hours/days when school is in session at CamasRidge. Maybe not as slow as 15 mph, but even 25 would be nice. It just seems that people coming down the hill areusually going about 40-45 which makes it very hard to cross, even when there is a break in traffic for a second.

Oct 23, 2009 9:58 PM

290 All of the above are controlled by government regulation. When bus service should be expanding and fares dropping, justthe opposite is happening. When business development should be encouraged and accommodated the opposite ishappening. New development is thrust upon neighborhoods based upon the clout of the developers (U of O comes tomind) and not the impact upon the citizens of Eugene.

Oct 24, 2009 12:15 AM

291 I think there should not be such a strong disregard for new development in Southeast Eugene. I feel like this area is run byanti business and antigrowth people, who don't represent all in this neighborhood. I am fine with being green, but I feelthere has to be a balance and there is not.

Oct 24, 2009 12:27 AM

292 We are an older area that could use some updating in housing options and additional development. Oct 24, 2009 1:51 AM

293 While there are great options for walking (Rexius and Ridgeline trails) riding a bike in this neighborhood is hazardous.There is a pretty big divide between those people who live directly on E. amazon and those who live just off it -- incomelevel is probably a big difference. Some neighbors on E. amazon think nothing of late night parties on week nights. Ourproximity to E. Amazon on a quiet culdesac means fairly high traffic and risk of property crime.

294 Always nice to see more of a mix.

More housing should have been part of the Woodside Station, (29th and Willamette.

Connections are up to me aren't they?

Cops never patrol here.

Oct 24, 2009 9:52 PM

295 The bus service is hard to take to my sons school, therefore we drive most of the time. It would take over an hour by bus,while by car it only takes five minutes.I would like access to more natural areas. Areas where kids can run around without fearing that they'll get run over by acar.I feel the houses all look the same, it would be nice to restructure some to give not so subdivsion/suburban of a look.

Oct 25, 2009 1:35 AM

296 As you know, Eugene had its big demographic boom in the 1970s - it could use a face lift Oct 25, 2009 2:17 AM

297 Southeast has long had plenty of natural areas, but these are gradually being filled in by new housing. The Ridgeline Trailshould be maintained and improved.

A neighborhood block party would be welcome.

We don't have much crime up here (that I know of), but some does occur (mostly break-ins and theft).

Oct 25, 2009 3:00 AM

298 we need better mass trans and alt trans to lessen; low income and dense housingi often feel a stranger with my neighbors

Oct 25, 2009 5:00 AM

299 I think that Eugene can improve even more on the "greenness" and the bike walking trails. I also think that more busservices need to be provided for aging Eugenians to use instead of driving their cars.

2) More community events that bring people together for 'meet and greet'

3) More affordable homes for purchase in the area would be nice. The apartment density is fine, and the price iscomparable to other parts of town

Oct 25, 2009 4:05 PM

302 We have no children, however, those who have must take them by car to a playground, let them play in the streets or keepthem home.

Frankly. I don't see that there are any priorities in this neighborhood that can justify using the limited city funds. ahead ofthe many urgent needs in other areas of the city.

Indeed, the continuing neglect of street re-surfacing (even seal coating streets) should have higher priority here and inmany like areas before the programs cited herein.

303 Actually, I would like the roads resurfaced. Willamette St. is horrible. Especially pass 29th street. Oct 25, 2009 7:18 PM

304 The one thing that would be nice would to have a locally owned small grocery like the Kiva or Sundance in walkingdistance. Somewhere around Mazzies or the dairy mart on Hilyard and West Amazon @ least. Not a big grocer...justsomething that would fit into the community but would be a bit closer.

I appreciate the wonderful Ridgeline trail system and the protection of these natural resources. Continuing to maintain andprotect this area from development is very important to me and is a huge asset to our community.

Oct 25, 2009 7:28 PM

305 33rd avenue continues to become more congested. It had traffic slowing improvements that have now been removed fromthe center and the traffic speeds on 33rd

Oct 25, 2009 7:31 PM

306 See the explanation in O to explain where the improvement needs to be Oct 25, 2009 8:28 PM

307 I'm not a business owner (nor would I want to be!), but in the Amazon neighborhood (East and West Amazon) there are notbusinesses (other than a couple of restaurants near Hilyard), so everyone has to drive to get groceries, go to a cafe, etc. Iknow it's all zoned residential, but this is the one thing that I'd change about my upper-Amazon neighborhood.

Oct 26, 2009 2:28 AM

308 I feel that the rent on some of the older homes in this area are above a reasonable price, possibly driven up due toUniversity of Oregon Student housing.

Oct 26, 2009 2:49 AM

309 Although compared to where I work (Beltline/Chad Drive/Crescent St area) the traffic congestion is NOT bad, I havenoticed that the amount of traffic on both E. and W. Amazon (esp East) is steadily increasing...especially the numbers ofcars with one adult driving one child to the local schools (I live near Eugene Christian School, the lineup of large SUVs andvans delivering a SINGLE child in the mornings is sad...don't they know about carpooling? Bus?). There IS a nice low-income development alongside Tugman Park, I'd like to see more like that in our neighborhood.

Oct 26, 2009 3:35 AM

310 complete sidewalks

road maintenance on willamette!!!!

Oct 26, 2009 4:44 AM

311 When students are in, they drive too fast down the hill on Onyx Place to 32nd. Needs speed bumps! Oct 26, 2009 2:48 PM

312 B. Please continue bus service in this areaE. keep natural areas natural

Oct 26, 2009 7:21 PM

313 The overhead lines dominate the 29th street area. It would be a dream come true if some day they were movedunderground.

Traffic on 29th is fast & noisy. I'd like to see the second east bound land taken out and full bike lanes put in and a smallpark strip down the middle.

We get some crime in the area, but not to bad.

Oct 26, 2009 8:06 PM

314 I don't have a car but I do have a young child. I like being able to get where I need to be and to access services likegrocery/bank/hardware store.

Bus service in Eugene ends at about 7:30 pm it seem like. Should be later options.

Oct 26, 2009 11:09 PM

315 It's a long drive to any major department store

There are some auto break-in's on occation

More parking would be good but not necessary

Oct 26, 2009 11:56 PM

316 1. The contractor who has lots for sale just above houses in our cul-de-sac built houses that overlook the back yards ofhouses beneath them. The privacy of the latter homes is being compromised. Apparently, he also refused to sell a lot toone of the owners who live beneath the lots.

2. We have no recreational services offered in our neighborhood.

3. I didn't address street parking because it can't be alleviated in a cul-de-sac.

Oct 27, 2009 2:10 PM

317 Our neighborhood is going downhill. Many homeowners are moving and renting the houses, or simply dying and the homehas been sold as a rental. Crime seems to be up. Houses are not being kept up. Business owners don't seem to careabout the impact of their customer's behaviour on the people who live here. Smoke from local business contributes tolower air quality. So much light pollution now we can't hardly see stars at night. 24 hour a day noise from businesses andtheir deliveries disturbs sleep. Not a nice place to live anymore. 20 years ago when my grand daughter was little, I couldfeel safe letting her ride around our very long block. Now, I can't feel safe with her children alone in our back yard.

Oct 27, 2009 7:15 PM

318 New sports field at Edgewood has obtrusive lights and sound. Oct 28, 2009 12:56 AM

319 No I will not Oct 28, 2009 1:33 AM

320 The shopping area at 29th & Willamette is extremely congested during certain times of the day. Development there wouldmost make it difficult if not impossible to alleviate in the way of widening roads. I would like to see more forethought aboutthe level of traffic that development brings, and see development planned accordingly.

Oct 28, 2009 3:01 AM

321 Neighborhoods can always be safer, and there can never be enough protected natural areas. Oct 28, 2009 4:16 AM

322 I have continually been harrassed by the neighbors west of me,....to the extent of putting in a $2500 security systemw/outdoor movement lights...also carry a taser.....and plan on selling even at a big loss because i cannot take any more.....iam 66 years and tired.....the neighborhood is cool, aloof, i know 2 couples here after all this time.......one person welcomedme to this street, even though i went to meetings, walked the streets. I hate Eugene, the lack of support from the PoliceDept, although no there fault entirely, it is a place of all show. all talk.

Oct 29, 2009 2:38 AM

323 Need for a clear bike lane on east side of East Amazon south of 33rd. On street parking is one thing, perhaps, preventingthis. Many people, including those with children on bikes, use this area. We need some creative problem solving for thisarea.

Oct 29, 2009 1:27 PM

324 No moth spraying. I chose Eugene and the SE neigborhood for a healthy lifestyle, low in pollutants and noise, etc. I wasvery unhappy to have my house and yard blanket-sprayed with pesticides last spring!

Oct 29, 2009 4:24 PM

325 Some of the properties are poorly maintained rentals and other housing. Some of the street trees are ugly EnglishHawthornes that look dead during the summer that the city doesn't seem very motivated in replacing (and neither are theabsent rental owners), choosing instead to focus on street trees in newer/nicer neighborhoods. These ugly trees don't domuch for city co2 sequestration. Some of the rentals have problems with college students and the poor behaviour that cancome with that. The crossing at University and 30th near the elementary school is dangerous and the overpass there isdifficult to get your bike over on.

Oct 29, 2009 5:41 PM

326 They are self-explanatory Oct 29, 2009 9:23 PM

327 Like it just as it is Oct 29, 2009 10:19 PM

328 Restore the Amazon. Oct 30, 2009 3:13 AM

329 Not happy with all the speed bumps going up. Don't feel like they really solve the problem that people are upset about:namely the amount of traffic on the street, not the speed of the traffic.

Oct 30, 2009 4:59 PM

330 Commercial district around 29th and Willamette is very ugly. A mish-mosh of building types (with many catering toautomobile traffic), lack of trees, lots of above ground wires (29th have high voltage wires also).

Lots of traffic on both 29th and Willamette.

Oct 30, 2009 5:39 PM

331 If driving behavior could be controlled (I do not believe education has any useful effect) then walking and biking would befar less hazardous.

Oct 30, 2009 7:37 PM

332 Although services exist, they can't be easily accessed by walking. I believe neighborhoods should have more businessesmixed in somehow, so that one could access more services by walking. Also, safety is a concern in our area.

Oct 30, 2009 8:32 PM

333 1 number 24. bus could come up willamette.and then down donald. that way we would be able to walk on pavementinstead walking thru mud etc in the winter. 2.improve the walkway from marlboro to ventura. 3.marlboro lane is toonarrow to park vehicles on both sides of the street.

Oct 31, 2009 7:23 PM

334 Can't think of anything to improve Oct 31, 2009 8:11 PM

335 Please--No more development!!Need an education campaign for people who still think burning wood doesn't hurt people or the planet.

Oct 31, 2009 11:13 PM

336 I would like those who rent apartments to be more vigilant with their tenants and keep the properties in good shape.Rentals on 43rd Ave tend to be problematic.... litter accumulates and no one takes responsibility.

I also would like to see the wonderful tiles repaired in Shadow-wood Park. They were beautiful, but have been badlyvandalized. I'd like to see them replaced with some kind of hard surface that would prevent future vandalism. I'd also liketo see parents supervise their children more responsibly (including adolescents).

Oct 31, 2009 11:56 PM

337 The area needs more development to improve personal safety and lessen fire danger.

More people (residents) means more eyes to watch for criminal behavior and signs of forest fire. If the South Hills areagoes up in smoke, we can place a lot of the blame on the no-growth faction targeting this area.

Nov 1, 2009 12:14 PM

338 I would like to see the traffic levels on Willamette St. reduced or at least slowed to the speed limit. Nov 1, 2009 4:18 PM

339 1st-It would be great to have more viable shops/cafes/markets within walking distance.

2nd-It would be great to boost sustainable/community oriented businesses in our neighborhood.

Nov 1, 2009 10:15 PM


37 of 44


340 The South Hills area needs new and more development. With more people living in the area, the potential for crime will bereduced and fire danger will be lessened, because the neighborhood watch will be strengthened. If the South Hills forest goes up in flames, part of the blame can be placed at the feet of the current neighborhoodassociation leaders who work very hard to restrict development and dictate to landowners what they can and can't do withtheir own land.

There are no restaurants or quick-stop marts in the Fox Hollow area.

Amazon Pool needs to be covered for year-round use. Sheldon and Echo Hollow pools are too far away.

Nov 2, 2009 1:39 AM

341 1. I never see police patrolling in my neighborhood.2. New parks are always nice.

Nov 2, 2009 7:06 AM

342 E: Please see comment under answer 2.

N: In the last 2 or 3 years, the number of spooky transients and panhandlers has increased in our immediate vicinity. Wefeel we have to be on high alert all the time.

K: Some houses tend to look very dilapidated, and increasingly so (e.g., tarps over bad roofs; blackberries overtakinghomes with absentee owners and no tenants).

Nov 2, 2009 4:46 PM

343 The bottlenecking that occurs on my street in particular because of parking violations (N. Shasta loop) makes meuncomfortable as a new driver and causes serious risks to all drivers. If this could be improved by either enforcing the finesfor illegal parking or providing more room to park, I would be very grateful. Also, the only bus that is near my home is a 15minute walk downhill and only comes twice a day. For a person who has to get to school ontime such as myself, it isimportant to me that there be multiple busses that go to Eugene Station or South Eugene High.

Nov 4, 2009 6:56 PM

344 I am a student at the U of O, and I have a hard time getting to my classes by bus from this neighborhood. The bus I usuallytake, the 28 only runs every half hour and is often late. If I miss my bus there is no other one I can catch to get where I'mgoing in a short amount of time. I often end up driving most of the way and parking in a neighborhood that I can walk toclass from.

Nov 5, 2009 8:20 PM

345 Traffic congestion an having no where to park gets really old. Nov 5, 2009 9:09 PM

346 My neighborhood is nice already... I would like to see responsible growth in the South Hills. We need another micro mallup Willamette St.

Nov 6, 2009 5:16 PM

347 The main streets are rutted and south Willamette Street, parts of Hilyard Street are undrivable. The intersection at 29th &Willamette is a horror.The neglect of this older neighborhood for street repairs in scandelous. The new businesses at 29th& Willamette are very helpful, but the area could use more new business. Perhaps better streets would provide anincentive.

Nov 6, 2009 5:48 PM

348 Please don't build near the Amazon head-waters areas.

More opportunities to draw people together.

Weekend bus service needs improvement.

Nov 6, 2009 7:08 PM

349 I wouldn't make any changes. I like my neighborhood the way it is. The house colors could be more attractive, but... Nov 6, 2009 10:04 PM


38 of 44


350 I'm not sure what could be done about this, it simply has to do with how our neighbors park their vehicles. Overall, I feelvery good about our neighborhood and the services that are offered.Thank you!

Nov 6, 2009 10:24 PM

351 Other--road quality is atrocious. Potholes outnumber smooth pavement. Appearance, zoning does not result aesthetically pleasing environment.

Nov 7, 2009 5:17 AM

352 There is a lot of bike traffic across 30th & University, but it's not very safe to cross by bike. I'd like to see that improved. Iknow the neighbors immediately around me, but would like to know more of them. There is a big piece of wooded land atthe end of 32nd. I would like to see it protected. There's even a creek there. I'd hate to see it developed. It's so close to theridgeline trail that it seems like it could be connected somehow.

Nov 7, 2009 5:50 AM

353 1. The price of housing is outrageously expensive--junky starter homes for $200,000.

2. Many sidewalks are in really bad shape. 35th between Alder and E. Amazon has a lack of continuous sidewalks, toomany cars parked on the street. Not very safe for pedestrians.

Nov 8, 2009 4:06 AM

354 See my comments for letter O. above for my first choice.

While LTD DOES run on East Amazon Dr., my complaint has been that I don't want to have to spend close to two hours onthe bus to get somewhere where I can drive in 20 minutes. LTD needs to work on Southeast access to areas that does notrequire going downtown to the armpit center station with all the homeless and druggies.

Public Safety in Eugene continues to be a big priority for my family. Failure to fund and support our Public Safety officersis resulting in an extremely high crime rate as well as lack of ability for preventative work to be completed. Furthermore,the constant combative stances that the city continues to take with the Eugene Police is not something that can beforgotten by voters when it comes to voting in measures to support police financially. Responsible policing yes, withadequate training, yes. Painting the entire profession with a negative brush all the time, really annoying.

Nov 8, 2009 7:17 PM

355 There are very nice places, and not so nice places. Though the neighborhood is safe and a wonderful place to raise kids,it is 1.5 miles to the nearest store, and as I finish raising kids, I want to be able to walk, instead of taking the bus, biking ordriving. This neighborhood is great for all three, but it is 3-4 miles from downtown. Quite the walk for daily activity. Thus Iwant to move to a location closer to the downtown.

Nov 9, 2009 1:53 AM

356 Our little Ave bears the brunt of the traffic to all the surrounding residential area. Drives drive too fast up and down this hill.It is not safe for children and animals. And it is noisy.Fox Hollow is dangerous to get onto. We can not see well enough to the north due to a corner, drivers come around thatcorner way too fast. There is a lot of traffic on Fox Hollow Rd.

Nov 9, 2009 6:04 AM

357 See my above note about Bus service.I appreciate you limit on new development--If and when you do allow the land near us to be developed--Woodson Heights--I would like to see the lot size remain large.I like when parking on the roads is minimized.

Nov 9, 2009 4:54 PM

358 There are few places to eat or shop within walking distance. But there is no easy way to fix this. There are not enoughbusiness lots to reach a critical mass.

Nov 11, 2009 9:55 PM

359 There aren't a lot of businesses on this side of town. There are very few restaurants, limited access to Gas Stations, andnot a lot of other businesses around here. It would be great if there were more on this side of town.

Nov 12, 2009 5:15 PM

360 I don't have any things that I would interested in changing Nov 12, 2009 7:21 PM


39 of 44


361 None particularly Nov 12, 2009 7:33 PM

362 I am looking to move farther away from the busy city - therefore my answers don't really relate. Nov 12, 2009 7:36 PM

363 land use violationsno more trees cutIf you choose to live here, leave the trees alone15 poeple live across the street and the City has allowed them to continue by creative code interpretations

Nov 12, 2009 8:02 PM

364 B. Sat. and Sunday bus schedule on weekend not amenable to getting into town - to UO & Downtown

I. S. Eugene Hills generally upper scale homes, livingnot much diversity of people's lifestyles

Nov 12, 2009 8:33 PM

365 The neighborhood has CHARACTER. It does not need to change to allow for more housing, newer developments orbusinesses. The dwellings are not little McMansions (although one did go up over on East Amazon near the school when aresidence split its lot -- very bad decision!). The dwellings are nestled into the landscape as if they belonged, in proportion.Nothing about this area has the look of what realtors what the public to believe in their motto, "think small" like theApplegate subdivision in Veneta. What a joke. Don't let that happen here, the area will lose its character if that should everhappen.

Nov 13, 2009 2:37 AM

366 It would be nice to have more locally-owned stores and restaurants within walking distance.I don't know many of my neighbors, and it would be nice to have some cooperative neighborhood efforts or social events.If there were convenient bus service with stops in our neighborhood, I might be less likely to drive into downtown duringinclement weather, and I would like that.

Nov 13, 2009 4:48 AM

367 I don't really feel like we need too much change. I'm new to the city+ chose this neighborhood because I like it the way itis.

Nov 16, 2009 5:31 PM

368 The streets, sidewalks, and homes are slightly rundown. Over the years, the traffic has increased. Would be good tominimize car traffic in particular. There have been some housing projects put up; should not make area population toodense.

Nov 17, 2009 7:42 PM

369 D: needs more parking spacesH: not aesthetically pleasingN: large homelessness and drug issue, police do not take action.

Nov 17, 2009 8:31 PM

370 Better bike riding on Fox Hollow, Willamette, and Donald. Build up Edgewood Safeway area. More involvement inneighbors working together in Neighborhood Watch Program.

Nov 17, 2009 8:39 PM

371 G: I would love to be able to walk to Movies, restaurants, shops, etc.

B: I would love to see EMX come out our way & better times / comnnections for buses

Nov 17, 2009 11:59 PM

372 J: I say business because some have gone under- but really I can't think of any improvements that havent already beendone.

Nov 18, 2009 12:06 AM

373 F&H because I don't know a lot about it.

L because I just moved and I am still meet[ing] all the neighbors.

Nov 18, 2009 7:43 PM


40 of 44


374 F: not many facilities to do other than walk / runG: We are very residential which is nic, but a long walk to storesL: When we first moved there, neighbors got together, then organized several events surrounding park development...since then the new neighbors keep to themselves.

Nov 18, 2009 7:50 PM

375 L; Many of our neighbors do not mingle. Pros- they are quiet... Cons_ We dont really know our neighbors : There has beena sugnificant change in ownership of many of the homes in the past few years. Additionally, our children are now adultswhich gives less interaction with our neighbors

Nov 18, 2009 7:57 PM

376 C: too much fast traffic on DonaldK: too many formally owner occupied homes now as rentals look bad

Nov 18, 2009 8:26 PM

377 C. street repairsA. Bike routes, safety for bikesO. snow routes

Nov 18, 2009 8:44 PM

378 N: transients hanging out in Tugman ParkC; Large amount of traffic on Hilyard

Nov 18, 2009 10:13 PM

379 B. bus route is great! the improvement that I would is more frequent, specially in the weekends F. we have parks and playgrounds, but not recreation for teens like arcade.

Nov 19, 2009 6:42 PM

380 Crosswalk on W. Amazon (foot bridge) needs a stop light. Drivers don't stop!! Someone is going to get killed in thatcrosswalk someday; no one stops. Have seen kids [standing] for up to 10 minutes wainting to cross.

Nov 20, 2009 5:28 PM

381 I don't see a need for improvement! Nov 20, 2009 5:48 PM

382 I would like to be able to walk to the businesses that I use. Nov 20, 2009 6:51 PM

383 I: Because I think people should have equal housing for whatever neighborhood they want. Nov 20, 2009 10:56 PM

384 no buses Nov 21, 2009 12:37 AM

385 I wish there was a store a bit closer and also a bus stop. I have to walk a little ways to get to either. Nov 21, 2009 12:45 AM

386 D. There is room to park but it could be better Nov 23, 2009 4:59 PM

387 K. I think it would be nicer with more natureG. More health food stores even closer would be niceI. It would be nice if the house were nicer w/ cheaper amount of money :).

Nov 23, 2009 5:03 PM

388 I want to have places to play. Nov 23, 2009 5:41 PM

389 G. I want more restaurants in my neighborhood, so it's easier to get to them. Nov 23, 2009 6:46 PM

390 A. Need more sidewalks to make Willamette (24th to 30th) more accessible to and comfortable for pedestrians & cyclists. K. Improve the interaction of users of the street on Willamette (again 24th to 30th) and improve its looks.

Nov 23, 2009 7:03 PM

391 Downtown: we don't have any reason to go there. We have malls elsewhere and too many transients Nov 23, 2009 7:14 PM

392 There is a pretty good amount of street parking but it would be nice to have more. Nov 24, 2009 4:27 PM

393 B: need more frequent service #25 Monday, #28 ditto weekendC: Police need monitor & act vehicular viloations at Fox Hollow & W. Amazon, especially south & west bound

Nov 24, 2009 6:45 PM


41 of 44


394 For E & F:It would be nice to have more things to do in my neighborhood. the houses all seem to have big yards, but a park closerthan Morse Ranch (which is up a big hill) would be great.D:Recently a car parked on my street was hit. Having more room would be good.

Nov 24, 2009 6:46 PM

395 More lower priced housesMore things to do, like parksMore restaurants

Nov 24, 2009 6:49 PM

396 I'm kind of antisocial with neighbors most of the time, so I dont' really get to know them. I want to try to be a little bit less ofa hermit and more of a good neighbor (my own proplem to solve).

Nov 24, 2009 6:56 PM

397 A. Needs to be signs so that drivers know that there's a chance there ight be pedestrians about.

F. There needs to be a park closer to Spencer's Butte.

J. Need to get rid of old buildings for new ones.

Nov 24, 2009 7:08 PM

398 I would like some of the roads to improveHave a way so kids walking to school can avoid the traffic by SafewayHave better recreational options

Nov 24, 2009 7:11 PM

399 My neighborhood in non-social Nov 24, 2009 7:13 PM

400 I don't really need anything to be improved Nov 24, 2009 7:16 PM

401 Not such new development. Parks are not that close. No one parks in their driveways. Streets are crowded. Nov 24, 2009 7:26 PM

402 Lots of houses are spendy.It's not great for older people.Houses and people no so close

Nov 24, 2009 7:59 PM

403 B. More bus frequency--only comes every half hour to come to UO.F. Need more well marked rec. areas.G. needs restaurants.

Nov 24, 2009 8:01 PM

404 Individual yard maintenance! Incentive to do so.Condos, appts. fit with neighborhood aesthetic.

Nov 24, 2009 8:28 PM

405 B: Unless you drive already you can't get into town.G: It takes a while to get to the grocery store.I: More people should have the option to live in the country.

Nov 24, 2009 8:31 PM

406 I'd like K, C & A to stay the same in my neighborhood. Nov 24, 2009 8:43 PM

407 Bus service because the bus route doesn't come all the way out to my house. It would save a lot of gas if people could useth ebus system. Has parks: it would be better if there were parks or play grounds for people to play around in.

Nov 24, 2009 8:45 PM

408 I live on a curvy steep road and on street parking can be very dangerous. Plus cars often go faster than the speed limitwhich cn be dangerous for pedestrians.

409 #2: Neighbors

Well we have had some nasty neighbors, someone tried to violate a kid sexually who lives right next to me from a path upthe street. And there aren't many bus stops, but it is not that bad.

Nov 24, 2009 10:03 PM

410 need better access across 30th Ave at University Ave. for walkers, elderly bicyclists.

For 9 years have tried crossing 30th with strollers and now regularly bike elementary students across which can be veryscary. Also watch elderly people trying to cross with walkers - pedestrian bridge isn't useable for the populations in thearea.

Nov 24, 2009 11:25 PM

411 (LSM notes that they didn't identigy any areas for improvement)I like my neighborhood

Nov 24, 2009 11:27 PM

412 We do not have a street light.There are not many parks around us.

Nov 24, 2009 11:35 PM

413 I want to kno all my neighbors and trust that we can look out for each others property. It would be nice to have a park thathad a water feature. Trader Joes on this end of town rather than Big 5 and The Party Store.

Nov 25, 2009 4:14 PM

414 Less development on hills. More small business spaces in vacant.1) Only open area - the school - too much competition2) Like to see infill rather than new places in treed areas3) Safeway business area - like to see all places rented - restaurant that's not a bar.

Nov 25, 2009 4:44 PM

415 Need more affordable housing everywhere in Eugene. Need smaller, more eco-friendly homes built. Nov 25, 2009 5:04 PM

416 Well I really like my neighborhood but recently we had a stalker/child molester roaming around our home. We now have arestraining order though. And I feel safer. I would also like to get to know my neighbors. I don't want any business orstores close to my home. I like the park too.

Nov 25, 2009 6:34 PM

417 There are no parks around my neighborhood, it would be nice if there were. The buildings look a little old. It would bebetter if they were more modern

Nov 25, 2009 6:44 PM

418 I would be cool to have a park where people could go, play, have picnicks. Nov 25, 2009 7:00 PM

419 A. There are lots of hills so it not bike accessible.B. The bus service doesn't even come near my house.F. There are no recreation facilities in my neighborhood.

Nov 25, 2009 7:22 PM

420 We don't even have a good coffee shop on our end of town! Nov 25, 2009 7:41 PM

421 I would like to have the bus service worked on so there would be more stops higher up Spencer;s Butte. It's difficult to gethime using any more of transportation other than motorized vehicles, and since the bus stop around 47th and Willamette,there is quite a lot of walking up hills.

Nov 25, 2009 7:43 PM

422 maintained bus schedule going to u of o Nov 25, 2009 9:49 PM

423 There are many transients in this area that have sometimes made my co-workers feel unsafe with threats and robberydespite being 86'd, we are trying to improve this and help our employees feel safer.

Nov 25, 2009 9:57 PM

424 I just think my neighborhood has a lot of potential and there needs to be more places to enjoy the surroundings. Nov 25, 2009 10:10 PM

425 Lots of heavy truck traffic on Fox Hollow; some cars and trucks travel at unsafe speeds Nov 30, 2009 4:21 AM


43 of 44


426 O. We need to plant more trees between 30th & 33rd along the sloughN. Some homeless people harass people on the bike pathD. Handicapped parking on street by my house needed

Dec 1, 2009 7:15 PM

427 I wish that there were apartments above all business in downtown and South eugene, as well as better parking. Thiswould help get more people to the small businesses and help grow our local economy.

Dec 1, 2009 7:47 PM

428 The street I live on is a popular place to walk for those seeking a workout, since it is hilly; however we have no shoulder,no sidewalk and no street lights. We bike a lot and it is dangerous coming up the hill. It is the one single factor that makesme think about moving.

I have had my house broken into twice. I have had a bicycle stolen from my garage. The houses on both sides of me havebeen broken into, one of them twice in the past year. In general public safety is an issue. I would have a hard timerecommending anyone move to Eugene the way things are.

Dec 7, 2009 11:06 PM

429 property crime is up Dec 9, 2009 12:43 AM

430 G. It's a 30-minute walk to the nearest grocery storeB. It would be nice to have more bus options, especially on SundaysF. More wheelchair-accessible sidewalks and trails

Dec 9, 2009 8:24 PM

431 Sometimes there are incidents in the apt complex I live in that make me feel unsafeIt tends to be an upsacle (expensive area)

Dec 10, 2009 7:08 PM

432 Being new to the area, I look forward to increased community/neighbor interactions. Dec 10, 2009 9:58 PM

433 too many large trees not appropriate for a residential area, they block the sun--theychould be replaced with smallerdeciduous trees

Dec 11, 2009 10:48 PM

434 1. Traffic calming continues to be an issue.2. Protect existing woodlands, wetlands, and green spaces.3. Limit new developments in accordance with pursuing goals 1 and 2, above.

Dec 13, 2009 1:31 AM

435 While not on my street, there are regular thefts, break in and vandalism not too far away. I would like to feel safer.Appearance--some places on my street look impoverished or un-cared for. Bus service to the west side of town could beimproved.

Dec 14, 2009 3:16 AM

436 Some of the park equipment is older and could use updating. Dec 14, 2009 5:10 PM

437 Food security is so impt. for community building/victory gardens--collaboration. W/churches. B/W corner lot get & PortlandKids run loose in neighborhood--not safe for anyone--so easy to snatch kids that happened years ago. Everyone knewwhere that blind woman w/2 kids lives & didn't feel safe didn't feel safe/constantly patronized.

Dec 16, 2009 8:15 PM

438 There isn't any low income housing around where I live. Dec 17, 2009 7:47 PM

439 F. It is a very hilly place to live that doesn't lend itself to people with mobility issues. Trails are all dirt/rocks so people whouse wc's can't use them very well. I. We have some low-income rentals, but more would be great.

Dec 18, 2009 7:47 PM

440 my neighborhood is just fine. Dec 20, 2009 11:57 PM

441 I am concerned that we protect the urban growth boudary. If not, and we develop near Amazon Headwaters, we'll just havemore "McMansions" that cause pollution and traffic.

Dec 21, 2009 6:15 PM

442 I. Neighborhood is very homogenous - would like to see more diversity.C: Traffic on Willamette is heavy, noisy and traveling way above the posted speed limit.

Dec 24, 2009 9:47 PM

443 J: small businesses that would attract neighborhood residences - i.e., coffee house, restaurant Dec 24, 2009 9:59 PM

444 It is very hill-filled, not fun to walk a long way to the bus. Dec 24, 2009 10:47 PM

445 B: We need access to bus services in all neighborhoodsA: Sidewalks that are consistent throughout neighborhoodFeed the deer in the undeveloped areas.

Dec 24, 2009 10:49 PM

446 don't need improvement on any of the above Jan 7, 2010 9:22 PM

447 I would like to see our neighborhood diversify in terms of race and class. Jan 8, 2010 5:22 AM

4 haven't recieved one Aug 5, 2009 11:57 PM

5 We don't get one that I'm aware of Aug 6, 2009 7:56 PM

6 Because there is nothing new in it ... just about stopping housing developments and saving the Amazon Creek. Worthytopics to be sure but I'm positive there are other things going on in the large Association area.

Aug 6, 2009 10:03 PM

7 I just bought my house! I haven't gotten any NA mail yet but I read alot in my old neighborhood. Aug 7, 2009 7:01 PM

10 Well, poorly written, for starters. Aug 17, 2009 11:51 PM

11 I have not received one yet and the website is not easily accessible. I signed up but cannot figure out how to e-mail to theserver! I am experienced with Web communications, but the Southeast Neighborhood web server is difficult for me to use.

16 Yes...briefly, interms of scanning. It is a priority of time. I do not feel that participation in the group would be worth the timetaken away from other issues. I assume I am probably in the minority in most viewpoints.

25 The postcard we receive usually is just a couple of days before an event and often gets lost in the shuffle of mail. Oct 3, 2009 6:43 PM

26 Didn't realize I received one. I will look close in the future - not a fan of junk mail so I don't look closely enough I guess. Oct 13, 2009 5:26 PM

27 I've glanced at it. Too busy. Not making it a priority. Oct 16, 2009 7:31 AM

43 I have not been aware of it Oct 18, 2009 8:12 PM

44 I feel that the concerns of the SE Neighborhood Association are not the issues that I'm interested in. Too often they arevery political, or concern most of the people around the Amazon Creek area. It feels like a clique.

63 I'm not sure I get it? Oct 21, 2009 3:02 AM

64 I get tired of the association only focusing on stopping development. We should be working on completing sidewalks,improving parks, getting more mixes of use like small commercial closer to the south so we don't need to drive everywhere.

Oct 22, 2009 1:14 AM

65 All postcards have been about preserving the Amazon watershed from development which I support, but I would like to seeother options explored.

Oct 22, 2009 9:45 PM

69 Yes, because I want to see what the City government is going to try to foist upon me next. Oct 24, 2009 12:20 AM

70 Because I don't feel these people represent all, they seem to represent the one's who completely agree with them. Not alot of diversity there.

Oct 24, 2009 12:31 AM

If no, why not?

74 The neighborhood leadership's extremely narrow views and program emphasis cannot be supported. The positions of thecouncil member from the area confirms the self-centered nature of that group with little regard for the deterioration ofdowntown Eugene and what that means for ALL city residents. The history of the role of the council member from thisneighborhood (and others) leading to the relocation of the region's hospital, labs, and clinics to Springfield that already hada viable hospital is but an example.

Oct 26, 2009 3:16 AM

78 Not enough time... Oct 29, 2009 9:25 PM

79 I no longer participate in the association. I was at the meeting several years ago when the liberal faction showed up(nearly 100 strong) and took over the meeting, voted their candidates and agenda in, and created their powerbase.

Nov 2, 2009 1:42 AM

I would be willing to give feedback on things viaemail.

2 I am very interested in participating. Aug 3, 2009 11:47 PM

3 None of my neighbors or family friends in the neighborhood participate in the neighborhood association. The meetings areneither convenient or speak to our issues (see earlier priorities).

5 I feel that the Southeast Neighbors does not really apply to my neighborhood -- which is more accurately described asbeing "Amazon" or or something else. The neighborhood just north and just south of 29th have issues that do not apply tothe "real" southeast -- i.e. crime, appearance, street improvements, etc.

10 Southeast neighbors do not provide an open and welcoming atmosphere for different voices. A very small groups ofindividuals appear to be in place to carry out their own personal agendas. There is a huge portion of the southeastneighbors that include households who have a family focus. The neighborhood group seems focused only onenvironmental and land use causes which doesn't resonate as a top priority for many. However, there is no interest on theneighborhood's part to seek out these voices, let alone listen to them.

Aug 7, 2009 11:08 PM

11 Transportation issues- bus service, better bike lanes, fewer potholes on Willamette St. Aug 10, 2009 6:19 PM

12 Would like to participate by e-mail or other online method. Aug 11, 2009 5:07 PM

13 The subjects discussed, as noted in the newsletter, seem very single-focused, i.e., saving non-developed areas. Aren'tthere other issues?

14 i'm really interested in getting sidewalks here at the end of 32nd, without home owners having to pay the entire fee. Aug 17, 2009 1:25 AM

15 Days meetings are on and times should change each week so that the meetings are as available to as many people aspossible.

Participation via an online discussion group would be a great way to open participation to those that are unable to make itto the meetings.

Aug 18, 2009 9:12 PM

16 Language translation for me would mean real time captioning or a loop system wince I am very hard of hearing Aug 20, 2009 2:51 AM

17 Our neighborhoond association has only one goal and that is to stop any kind of development. Aug 20, 2009 4:39 AM

18 Easier e-mail server communications and I would like to receive e-mail updates, meeting times and meeting minutes. Iwould love to make announcements and to hear from others. In particular I would like neighbors to know that we have aSoutheast Neighborhood Community Supported Agriculture program. We deliver boxes of produce that we grow on ourfarm in Creswell, off Dillard Rd. to some neighbors every week and could offer this to more neighbors.

Aug 20, 2009 7:29 PM

19 Meeting topics around infill development, rental problems, crime, city development of parks & open spaces (andnotification of residents of this work) Participation through an updated, interactive website

Aug 20, 2009 8:34 PM

20 When my association has events I usually am already booked for that day/time... but that's my problem, not theirs. Aug 20, 2009 11:38 PM

21 I'm so busy as it is (not enough time) Aug 21, 2009 12:18 AM

22 As mentioned in an earlier question- it would be nice to have the meeting dates fall on a variety of days of the week toopen the opportunity to attend for people like me. Currently with the meeting day conflicts with work schedules and it isconsistently always the same day of the week that I cannot change with work.

Aug 21, 2009 2:40 PM

23 usually do not have time to participate. Perhaps e-mail contacting, with opportunities for response would help Aug 21, 2009 3:15 PM

24 blog or email forum Aug 21, 2009 6:36 PM

25 I am just too busy with two high-needs kids to participate, but do see the value in it. Aug 25, 2009 8:02 PM

26 Expand the Amazon Skatepark in size, features, and condition proportionate to its frequency of use. Aug 26, 2009 3:19 AM

27 I'd work during the hours they usually meet. If there was a social web networking site where we could keep informed andprovide feedback, I'd be sure to participate in that.

Aug 26, 2009 6:25 PM

28 It would be a lot easier if my personal schedule weren't so busy. Aug 26, 2009 9:28 PM

29 A smaller neighborhood association that I felt a part of. Meetings with a specific focus - ie transportation or parks. Aug 27, 2009 4:31 PM

30 Sometimes I'm just too busy to attend, it's not that I don't want to. Aug 27, 2009 7:46 PM2009 Neighborhood Survey Southeast Page 105 of 131

31 recent tour of homes and gardens didn't have enough publicity; only a small paragraph in the RG Sep 1, 2009 11:36 AM

32 In the seven plus years I have lived in the SE Neighborhood, the SEN group has focused exclusively on preservation ofwoodlands in the south hills and ignored all other topics. Early on I made repeated attempts to volunteer to work onneighborhood issues, but was ignored. While I enjoy the ridgeline open space, more pressing needs - frankly - arecontinued excellence of our area schools, viability of neighborhood businesses, safety, disaster planning (especially urbaninterface wildland fire risk, which is a huge concern in the south hills), and a broader slate of issues that are more inclusiveof residents and not specific to a particular interest group.

Sep 1, 2009 9:55 PM

33 The leader of this neighborhood association is a no growth nazi and has nothing else on his mind but maintaining openspace. A complete waste of time at these events.

Sep 7, 2009 4:15 AM

34 I beleive that the same people for many years have been involved in teh N.A. Maybe have a term of so many years. Sep 10, 2009 4:48 AM

35 This town is overrun by "progressives" who are totally ineffective in acheiving good outcomes. Sep 12, 2009 1:36 AM

36 The head of our association brings new definition to the word environmentalist. Not that I am opposed to environmentalissues, but does not represent my view points, the association newsletter might as well been printedby earth first!

Sep 12, 2009 4:02 AM

37 Possibly a blog; whereby I could express my views, hear from others and see if my "guess is correct or if I am wrong andmy time spent would be warranted.

Sep 13, 2009 10:49 PM

38 There is no neighborhood association in my neiborhood. They are non-existent. If there were, it shold not be a systemwhere one or a few people decide what's best for the mass. Majority rules.

Sep 14, 2009 6:10 PM

39 I used to co-chair a neighborhood association in another part of town. And while I think what the current neighborhoodassociation does great work, it seems singularly focused.

Sep 18, 2009 7:30 PM

40 As a city employee who works on issues that affect my neighborhood, I don't feel comfortable attending. I would not wantto have a chilling effect on the important discourse that (I assume) happens at these meeting.

Sep 18, 2009 9:29 PM

41 I am currently on the board of my neighborhood association. Sep 19, 2009 12:52 AM

42 We do not feel we share common interests with the majority of people who live in our neighborhood, and therefore, we donot have an interest in becoming involved.

Sep 20, 2009 5:29 PM

43 Lack of ill family member and self Sep 21, 2009 9:30 PM

44 seems to work on its own just fine. If a problem arose I am sure we would get together as friends and neighbors to find asolution

Sep 25, 2009 9:00 PM

45 I just need more time - too busy most of the time Sep 26, 2009 7:16 AM

46 If I were not a PhD student, I would have more time to be involved with the neighborhood association. Sep 28, 2009 5:17 PM

47 If neighborhood meetings occur. It would be nice to know when they were happening and what general topics would bediscussed.

Sep 28, 2009 7:42 PM

48 They (the board) is much too leberal and only interested in land use Sep 28, 2009 10:59 PM

49 I feel everyone should be included and maybe have an open forum Sep 30, 2009 7:24 AM

50 It would be great if there was an interactive tool, such as a wiki or a google doc to gather feedback about issues from thosewho can't attend.

Sep 30, 2009 11:57 PM

51 I went to one meeting but they talked about one topic ad nauseum...and when I brought up on issue about the appearanceof one house, it was dismissed by a long-time resident saying nothing can be done and didn't ask for any other opinions aesuggestions.

Oct 2, 2009 5:31 AM

52 Sustainability issues. Oct 2, 2009 3:33 PM

53 offer concessions! Keynote speakers and local artists/writers that have special interest in varying topics. Maybe even an"Organize for America" community forum to discuss national impacts for our community and nation. Music functions seemto get people together :)

Oct 3, 2009 1:46 AM

54 My biggest obstacle to participating is that the meetings often conflict with my work schedule. But I would be interested inconnecting more with the neighborhood association.

Oct 3, 2009 5:51 AM

55 Traffic control on E. 33rd Ave. Oct 3, 2009 6:20 PM

56 The meetings I did attend did raise some important issues, but nothing seemed to be followed up on and there were nominutes or plan of action offered on the website. The website is minimally helpful.

Oct 3, 2009 6:43 PM

57 They could disseminate info online and get feedback online. Oct 3, 2009 11:02 PM

58 Special interest groups such as "headwaters of the Amazon" dominate the group. I do not think this is for the better of thecity, and I don't want to get into an argument.

Oct 5, 2009 7:23 PM

59 I have not attended so I can't assume that these things are unavailable to me. I do plan on trying to go soon and plan onencouraging a few other folks I know to come too. I'm not certain that the topics are specific to the issues that effect dailylife in the neighborhood and I think that some info I have received was about more broad and sometimes political issues.So for now I really can not make any suggestions without more knowledge of the workings of the association.

Oct 15, 2009 10:14 PM

60 Some topics of interest for me would be neighborhood beautification, building bird boxes for species of birds that arestruggling, increasing neighborhood safety in general and a plan in particular for helping eachother in case of naturaldisaster or terrorist attack.

Oct 16, 2009 7:31 AM

61 crime, street repairs, lighting Oct 17, 2009 6:41 PM

62 This has always been a temporary living situation for us. Oct 17, 2009 7:33 PM

63 Perhaps more surveys like this or petitions of support or no-support for certain issues.

So far, I feel that the SE group represents my interests and how I feel...all I would do is add my name and say go for it.

I don't have time for any more hands on.

Kudos to those that participate.

Oct 17, 2009 8:06 PM

64 Actually, I took an issue to the neighborhood association (via phone call) and was told that it wasn't a big enough issue towarrent their help.

Oct 17, 2009 8:08 PM

65 it seems quite good as it is now Oct 17, 2009 9:25 PM

66 I feel like as a renter, I would be out of place. Oct 17, 2009 10:32 PM

67 have meeting minutes distributed via email Oct 17, 2009 10:48 PM

68 How about elections - the same two people have been running things for the past few years Oct 17, 2009 11:36 PM

69 I keep meaning to go to meetings! Oct 17, 2009 11:43 PM


6 of 13


70 I did try to participate on a few occasions several years ago. It quickly became apparent that the leaders of the associationwere only interested in the area south of 40th St. and the Amazon headwaters. I could not get them to answer my emailsor letters on subjects relating to my neighborhood. I tried to bring something up at a meeting, but the agenda didn't allowfor it.

Oct 17, 2009 11:50 PM

71 time is the issue for us. Unless there is a burning issue, with kids and jobs we already have a lot going on. Oct 17, 2009 11:51 PM

72 Really don't have the time, but I will participate in surveys. I'd suggest doing this more often. Bravo! Oct 18, 2009 12:45 AM

73 I need more info before I can comment here. Oct 18, 2009 12:53 AM

74 I'm unable to attend the meetings because of chronically ill health and my husband is up to his neck in other commitments. Oct 18, 2009 12:57 AM

75 How to stop off leash dogs.Improve awareness of wild life habitat.

Oct 18, 2009 1:03 AM

76 Let's discuss the value of Eweb, how big it is, why its rates are so ridiculously high, why it has so many supervisors drivingaround town all day cell-phoning in their trux.

Let neighborhood associations go live, online.

Oct 18, 2009 1:31 AM

77 Something that could be done from home according to my schedule would be fine, but with little kids it's hard to dedicatespecific times/hours.

Oct 18, 2009 1:50 AM

78 no comment Oct 18, 2009 2:03 AM

79 a city council rep who isn't out of touch with the needs of the community...someone who doesn't play out highly personalagendas.

Oct 18, 2009 2:17 AM

80 In the future we will take part in the neighborhood activity. Oct 18, 2009 3:50 AM

81 Online forums regarding to specific neighborhoods. Oct 18, 2009 4:51 AM

82 I'd love to see a way to make suggestions and engage in discussions online. Oct 18, 2009 5:04 AM

83 I am interested in being involved in the neighborhood association and have been involved in past neighborhoods in which Ihave lived. I have a 4-year-old and an infant right now, which makes attending meetings hard. Childcare would be great.

Oct 18, 2009 5:22 AM

84 Neighborhood Association controlled by a clique with a narrow agenda. Other views not encouraged. Need surveys of allresidents to influence decisions and not only those who attend meetings.

Oct 18, 2009 5:34 AM

85 More, casual social events Oct 18, 2009 5:55 AM

86 email calendar items Oct 18, 2009 6:59 AM

87 These issues are all adequately addressed, in my opinion. I am a person who does not deal well with stress or conflict, soI do not enjoy hands-on involvement through the neighborhood association. I nevertheless have input through theneighbors I do know, and I'm satisfied with the neighborhood governance.

Oct 18, 2009 9:51 AM

88 Meetings ar drudgery. There needs to be interative activities. After 12 minutes the adult brain is tuning out; leaders need tothink about how to engage people who attend the meetings.

Oct 18, 2009 3:28 PM

89 Evening meetings don't work for single parents with no means for child care and for meetings that start at 7:00 p.m. Iwould be interested in this type of survey for every decision the SE Neighbors are considering pursuing or adopting.

Oct 18, 2009 3:54 PM

90 democratic voting on sensitive issues (development) instead of City reaction to the loud Eugene minority. Oct 18, 2009 5:06 PM

91 I am interested but have just not made it a priority Oct 18, 2009 5:31 PM


7 of 13


92 Having less commitment to other organizations Oct 18, 2009 5:34 PM

93 I mentioned previously that we are not as involved as we would like to be, due to time and other obligations. Thank youfor all that you do. We will commit to trying to increase our participation.

Oct 18, 2009 5:37 PM

94 Ways neighbors can help each other (tool sharing). Ways the neighborhood can learn about helping the environment, i.e.can we put up solar collectors on our roof tops, can we reduce our waste, etc.

Oct 18, 2009 6:26 PM

95 Just gotta remember to put the meetings on the calendar!! Oct 18, 2009 6:33 PM

96 Topics that are important to me are the quality of life here, quality of new construction of houses, and the location. Oct 18, 2009 6:36 PM

97 I am very involved already. I am the VP of the Southeast Neighbors Oct 18, 2009 7:24 PM

98 Although I am interested in becoming involved in the neighborhood association, I don't think I have time enough with thelevel of school I am in.

Oct 18, 2009 8:11 PM

99 Topic of high interest is how to discourage/prevent infill development in Southeast Eugene. I have difficulty attending themeetings and would welcome some method of participation via e-mail.

Oct 18, 2009 8:23 PM

100 I plan to become involved and go to meetings. Things have come up. The newsletters for SE neighborhood are great. Oct 18, 2009 8:36 PM

101 Items that have to do with public safety and what the neighborhood Assn. is doing to improve the neighborhood. Oct 18, 2009 8:59 PM

102 Activities for Senior citizens; cross-age interactions; daytime meetings and meeting places that rotate to other areas withinthe particular neighborhood, more verbal and written feedback from citizens which are valued the same as the aggressive,verbally assertive people who seem to take over and push their own concerns instead of really listening to many of theconcerns of the neighborhood as a whole. Valuing each citizen's voice encourages owning the solution and participating inthe resolution of problems.

Oct 18, 2009 9:37 PM

103 Unfortunately my time constraints do not permit active participation. Oct 18, 2009 9:44 PM

104 Not enough time. Working full-time again. Oct 18, 2009 10:01 PM

105 I am currently working 1 full time and 2 part time jobs. I just don't have the time. Oct 18, 2009 10:51 PM

106 SE Neighbors seems one-sided, anti-development, same people involved. If it would be more diverse and not so negative,that would be more encouraging.

Oct 18, 2009 11:14 PM

107 The association seems focused on just a few narrow issues, possibly influenced by the composition of the Board. Maybemix up the meeting nights so if I can't ever come on a particular day of the week, at least I can come to meetings once inawhile and contribute my point of view and areas of concern.

Oct 18, 2009 11:42 PM

108 Allow NA to take tax money back from 4J to do real improvements for this neighborhood, not stinking sports arenas forpeople from other parts of town.

Oct 18, 2009 11:55 PM

109 Ways to address traffic congestion and safety. Oct 19, 2009 12:23 AM

110 I would like to be able to participate online. Oct 19, 2009 1:02 AM

111 I am already involved in other civic engagement; it is hard to find time for everything I am concerned about. Oct 19, 2009 1:21 AM

112 Neighborhood Clean up days. Our neighborhood also has a Homeowners' Association. Oct 19, 2009 2:16 AM

113 I don't really know what my participation could possibly yield as an outcome for the neighborhood or city. Oct 19, 2009 4:19 AM

114 By mail or online. Oct 19, 2009 4:21 AM

115 We need scheduled meetings to get to know each other, have fun together and gain sense of community (minimum 3xyr),exchange information, discuss st. cleaning, leaf and or snow removal, improvements, issues.

Oct 19, 2009 6:29 AM

116 picnics or potluckswalking/jogging clubs

Oct 19, 2009 2:27 PM

117 I do not tend to join organizations. I get enough of 'meetings' at work. Oct 19, 2009 4:16 PM

118 We do not have time to attend meetings. We have attended years ago, and as well, attended neighborhood watchmeetings... but time (and age) have curtailed those activities. We would just like to see surveys like this occasionally, andto have the NA represent concerns with the city, when necessary. Also neighborhood watch meetings are a good thing forthose who can attend.

Oct 19, 2009 4:50 PM

119 Anything that affects the future livability of the neighborhood. Oct 19, 2009 5:41 PM

120 The discussion is carried on by the minority. I don't agree or respect Betty Taylor and that group is the only grouprepresented at these meetings. Over-thinkers. Not really sure it makes a difference anyways.

Oct 19, 2009 6:40 PM

121 A city official should be present at every neighborhood business meeting. Oct 19, 2009 9:37 PM

122 See #3 above Oct 19, 2009 10:05 PM

123 Hiring a band for entertainment and dancing Oct 19, 2009 10:13 PM

124 It would be helpful to be able to email suggestions and for the association to be an advisory council rather than decision-making body. Members appear to use their position for personal interests over the interests of the Neighborhood as awhole.

Oct 19, 2009 10:39 PM

125 The increasing drug & transient situation along the "natural" areas of the Amazon canal. Oct 19, 2009 10:43 PM

126 internet surveys and postings on meeting agendas Oct 19, 2009 11:07 PM

127 I have contributed $ when asked for specific projects, but am not really interested in active participation in meetings...hadenough of them before I retired!

Oct 20, 2009 12:27 AM

128 My energy is going into my condo. assoc. Oct 20, 2009 1:42 AM

129 days times/have not previously worked with my schedule Oct 20, 2009 3:59 AM

130 The same person has been running the neighborhood association for my neighborhood for years and that is not healthy orproductive.

Oct 20, 2009 4:00 AM

131 The Southeast Neighbors group does not represent my concerns or goals for my neighborhood. They are pursuing ananti-growth agenda to push development somewhere else.

Oct 20, 2009 6:17 AM

132 A high level of confidence that it was worth my time---like everyone, a most limited resource---and that participation wouldmake a difference.

Oct 20, 2009 10:44 AM

133 I like participating in surveys and would be happy to talk or e-mail with someone. Oct 20, 2009 3:24 PM

134 I'm most concerned about how we as a neighborhood can provide for our own needs in the face of peak oil, climatechange, and economic collapse. I'd love to see more skill shares between gardeners, retrofitting houses for reducedenergy consumption, and the like.

Oct 20, 2009 5:51 PM

135 hands on/practical activities related to decreasing carbon footprint, eg gardening, weatherization/resources(watercatchement).Axtivities to increase cooperation, CERT , neighborhood watch...Annual picnic excellent, include harvest swap? giveaway? toxics collection (as Amazon neighbors did)

Oct 20, 2009 6:35 PM

136 I propably would not do this. I'm not the type, but I would try to read the newsletters more often Oct 20, 2009 7:18 PM


9 of 13


137 A newsletter several times a year would be very nice. Oct 20, 2009 8:42 PM

138 A board that isn't so linear in their thinking and unwilling to accept a broad range of ideas. Oct 20, 2009 8:42 PM

139 I'm retired but am busier than before I retired. I'm so involved in church, master gardeners, yoga, meditation, grandkids, Ihave little time for much else.

Oct 20, 2009 9:18 PM

140 I'd like a comment period to be available at each meeting. Oct 20, 2009 10:24 PM

141 A few years ago, before Hilyard St. was rebuilt, I complained about its condition at a SE Neighbors general meeting. Ireceived a brushoff from our president, It was a good lesson on how to discourage inconvenientcomments and attendance by the those who are seen as not PC.

Oct 21, 2009 2:31 AM

142 i work evenings and meetings are in the evenings. often not about things that concern me. if there were an email way tosend in my concerns or praises! or website?

Oct 21, 2009 5:43 PM

143 I appreciate the news letters and the efforts of all the active participants. My lack of participation is time related more thananything else - not enough of it.

Oct 21, 2009 6:41 PM

144 I travel quite often so am not home on a regular basis which prevents participation in my neighborhood association. Oct 21, 2009 7:12 PM

145 I have spent 15 years on my home assocation, I'm tired..... Oct 21, 2009 9:30 PM

146 Southeast is so large that the meetings are only occasionally in easy walking or biking distance. As a result, going to themeetings is not something I do as a habit. I have to think about it and make a decision each time.

Oct 21, 2009 10:18 PM

147 I am very involved in my kids school, in church and a fulltime job and I have no more time to spend at meeting. Oct 22, 2009 12:07 AM

148 Meeting topics could cover: ways to preserve home values and improve the overall neighborhood during this recession;crime/safety/fire protection; and block parties or other affordable community gatherings.Ways to participate could include email/web discussion boards and other online interactive opportunities for those whocannot regularly make meetings.

Oct 22, 2009 12:30 AM

149 more about improving the neighborhood and less anti-development topics. Oct 22, 2009 1:14 AM

150 Retirement possibly. Oct 22, 2009 1:20 AM

151 Feeling empowered and inspired to believe my participation counts. Door to door helps to do this for me, as I connect withneighbors this way.

Oct 22, 2009 2:52 AM

152 connections to improve quality of life- art, open space, supporting small family owned businesses, diverse alternativeculture

Oct 22, 2009 2:58 AM

153 If I was not leaving, I would work with NA to get the ball rolling on City/College-University/neighborhood writing grants forAlt. Transportation or Transportation Enhancement Funds to support the efforts that will pay for improvements.

Oct 22, 2009 3:34 AM

154 on line survey input on specific neighborhood issues. Oct 22, 2009 3:52 AM

155 Again this association has always been driven by a group of people with very specific anti development agendas. It wouldbe nice if one with a differing opinion was listened to.

Oct 22, 2009 2:40 PM

156 Each year I think I'll go to the annual picnic and then don't. I periodically think of going to a meeting after I receive a notice.I love the idea of neighborhood gatherings and don't know why I let other things take precedence.

Oct 22, 2009 5:13 PM

158 Tuesday evenings have multiple conflicts, so another weekday evening, preferably Wednesday. Oct 22, 2009 9:45 PM

10 of 13


160 My health is a challenge at present and I would like and opportunity to participate on decision on line. Oct 23, 2009 8:16 PM

161 Eliminating the homeless population that live and hangout along Amazon creek, Amazon park and our alleys. How can weclean up the trash and waste left behind by vagrants in our neighborhoods. How can we make our neighborhood feelsafer. How can we encourage homeowners and renters to keep junk and trash that accumulates in driveways and yardsout of sight of their neighbors. I feel that this neighborhood could use more pride in itself.

Oct 23, 2009 9:53 PM

162 Not clear if there is email access to the neighborhood assoc, or a webpage, etc. That would be easiest for us. Oct 23, 2009 9:55 PM

163 Withdrawal of government participation. It is your association, not mine. Oct 24, 2009 12:20 AM

164 There has to be some sensible pro growth. Not just a group who say no to everything Oct 24, 2009 12:31 AM

165 I have health issues so energy is a problem.. Online? Oct 24, 2009 9:55 PM

166 internet webpage would be great. I am too busy to attend meetings Oct 25, 2009 2:20 AM

167 land development only if done in sustainable fashion; Oct 25, 2009 5:02 AM

168 I currently live and work overseas and am in my home only a brief time. Oct 25, 2009 12:14 PM

169 At this time I am not interested. But that can change in the coming years Oct 25, 2009 2:32 PM

170 Wednesday evenings after 6pm Oct 25, 2009 7:31 PM

171 I'm not sure of the current time/location for meetings, but think they should be scheduled monthly or perhaps every 2months, on a weekday evening

Oct 25, 2009 8:29 PM

172 Because of my age, civic activitiesl are limited. Oct 25, 2009 9:37 PM

173 I am interested in smaller class sizes in our schools, keeping rent and utility prices low and affordable. Oct 26, 2009 3:09 AM

174 Focus on what a residents can do for the neighborhood and stay out of city politics. Council members should seek what isbest for the city as a whole!!

Oct 26, 2009 3:16 AM

175 I cannot remember now when they have been scheduled, but I work full-time and have at least one regular week-nightcommitment on Tuesday nights already.

Oct 26, 2009 3:38 AM

176 Renters don't seem to have much influence in Eugene city policies, though our rent contributes in many ways to the taxbase (through the landlords income), utilities, infrastructure improvements, etc. I know there are tenant laws but I'd like tosee Eugene actually implement rent control properties. Landlords here seem to be able to charge ridiculously high pricesfor many properties that aren't well maintained and considering the average incomes in this area, the rent prices are notrealistic. As a renter in her early 40s, with a full-time job, I pay over 1/3 of my income for rent. It makes it difficult to everthink I could actually purchase a home.

Oct 26, 2009 3:49 AM

177 past experiences have been frustrating. i.e issues where neighbors agreed and results didn't. For example, limits to growthversus the right to develop property for a profit

Oct 26, 2009 4:44 PM

178 I might be more involved if I emailed, but I can't guarantee it. Oct 26, 2009 7:23 PM

179 The South East eugene neighborhood assn. is dominated by the quest to stop all development. While I thank them for thework and regulary enjoy the benifits, I feel other issues are ignored.

Oct 26, 2009 8:19 PM

180 Sometimes these organizations have entrenched leadership. Older members trump younger members. That is myhesitancy to participate - I could be all wrong though!

Oct 26, 2009 11:14 PM

181 Safety on the streets, in business parking lots, and noise and pollution from some businesses. Oct 27, 2009 7:17 PM

183 Due to time and physical constraints, it is hard for me to get out to one more activity. Any way to participate through thecomputer/e-mail/chat?

Oct 29, 2009 1:31 PM

184 It seems like the assoc. is very focused on the Amazon headwaters. I am interested in that, but I think there are otherthings that should get attention as well. I also don't see how what the assoc. does/ talks about will actually be used toaffect change through the city (beyond gathering signatures for a ballot measure). It also seems like the assoc. leaderdrives the agenda too much.

188 I serve on several non-profit boards and it takes up all my volunteer time. Oct 30, 2009 8:35 PM

189 They do good work, and I was a member for several years. My work life is just too demanding to allow membership at thistime.

Oct 31, 2009 11:15 PM

190 Unfortunately, my job keeps me very busy.... Oct 31, 2009 11:58 PM

191 I was at the meeting several years ago when a large group of liberals took over. With their numbers, they voted in theircandidates and their agenda. They have been in control ever since.I would like to see a meaningful, non-biased, house-to-house survey of how every resident really feels about theneighborhood assn. & its leaders.

Nov 1, 2009 12:23 PM

192 What topics are new or need to be addressed? Nov 1, 2009 4:20 PM

193 A house-to-house canvas of the neighborhood needs to be conducted to find out how ALL residents feel about theneighborhood assn's leadership and direction. The questions need to be unbiased.

Nov 2, 2009 1:42 AM

194 Already participating. In large part, we appreciate the opportunity to connect with city officials and other neighbors. Nov 2, 2009 4:51 PM

195 I am a full time student in my senior year, and do not have a lot of time during the day. If I could participate online I wouldbe more likely to get involved.

198 I would have more energy if I didn't have to work 40 hrs/week!! Nov 8, 2009 4:08 AM

199 How about a web page that has the time, date, location and agenda of the next meeting posted? The issue for me is that Idon't know when the meetings are and when I have time to think about it, I have no central place to go to to find it easily.Sorry, but the City of Eugene websites are NOT user friendly for harried and stressed out people trying to find a quickanswer!!

202 I have felt frustrated in the past about the high cost of Neighborhood Assoc. dues and the fact that non-cul de sacneighbors have been paying for maintenance of cul de sacs when we don't live on them and don't enjoy the benefits ofliving on them.

1 Wider range of topics - not just environmental.Family related topics/projects.More family centered social events - and more often.

Aug 1, 2009 12:32 AM

2 All of the above! But I haven't really been here long enough to have specific ideas, except trail maintenance. Aug 3, 2009 11:47 PM

3 Keep us up on environmental issues and ways to protect the parks and forests. Aug 4, 2009 3:44 AM

4 Improvements tugman park; more pedestrian crossings around the schools; education about neighborhood watch; blockparties; etc.

Aug 4, 2009 11:29 PM

5 Inform: construction, concerns Aug 5, 2009 9:23 PM

6 Projects: trail improvement Aug 6, 2009 9:21 PM

7 1) what crimes have occurred in the area and how we can keep our neighbourhoods safe.2) encourage leadership in smaller sections of the association area so the neighbours of that area feel more empoweredand engaged by supporting projects like applying for neighbourhood grants3) see all of the suggestions noted above.

Aug 6, 2009 10:03 PM

8 Our actual neighborhood is so big that I feel it can't represent the whole neighborhood well. We have a little sub-group andthat is a lot of fun.

Aug 7, 2009 7:01 PM

9 Represent: Keeping "wild" areas safe and undeveloped Aug 7, 2009 10:44 PM

10 The key for me is to have a neighborhood who clearly puts the neighborhood's needs/interest above their own personalbeliefs. The neighborhood assoc. should focus first on inclusion rather than particular agendas. Until that happens theassoc. is nothing more than a soap box from which individuals push their personal opinions. In the long term, I think thisalso hurts the credibility of the neighborhoods when they need to be infuencial.

Aug 7, 2009 11:08 PM

11 Association could be a conduit from the city for info that will affect the neighborhood, could sponser social events(?),workshops on gardening, landscaping and tree care, keep the council aware of the needs and desires of theneighborhoods, could organize a neighborhood tool center for seldom used, but expensive house repair or yardworkequipment.

Aug 8, 2009 5:06 PM

12 Maybe there could be a way to network for things like sharing services and goods, gardening, child care, house sitting etc. Aug 10, 2009 6:19 PM

13 Topics of interest: Infill, new development, continued protection of Amazon headwaters, eradication of blackberry vinesalong Amazon Creek (I am OPPOSED to this), traffic, noise.

Aug 11, 2009 5:07 PM

14 see previous comment. Aug 17, 2009 1:25 AM

15 Many residents in the neighborhood are not represented by the neighborhood association. Aug 20, 2009 4:39 AM

16 Inform members of Community Supported Agriculture programs available in our neighborhood. Sponsor neighborhoodprojects that improve the neighborhood and build connection- art, landscaping, home improvement, planning, lobbying,activities for youth. Educational workshops in home business management, food preservation, chemical free landscapecare. Social activities such as an annual neighborhood blackberry social, in which everyone brings something withblackberries in it.... or of some food that is naturally growing in the neighborhood. Near our house, everyone inneighborhood picks blackberries. It could be fun to share them.

Aug 20, 2009 7:29 PM

19 Social events--something to tie everything together and connect people of all ages. Perhaps meet our city councilor? I'veleft messages asking for help regarding speeders and never heard a peep from her office. this may be the best way toconnect our representative with her district. Ed. workshops: recycling, trash, amazon headwaters, etc.Neighborhood projects: no ideas currentlyNeighborhood interests: speeding, traffic, pedestrians, etc.

Aug 21, 2009 2:40 PM

20 trail clean up, bike tour Aug 21, 2009 6:36 PM

21 South-East Neighbors is a closed club that does not tolerate dissent from the party line. Aug 22, 2009 5:03 PM

22 A yearly neighborhood event could be fun. Our street (E 32nd Ave) is getting prety thrashed. I'd like to see it re-paved, sothe assoc could advocate for it.

Aug 25, 2009 8:02 PM

23 Help organize people in times of emergency. I think this would be a vital role for the association, since people may not beable to leave their homes/neighborhoods and would rely on the kindness and help of the people close by.

Aug 26, 2009 6:25 PM

24 My neighborhood association has done, or tries to do, all those things. Aug 27, 2009 7:12 PM

25 Topics/interests could include safety, gardening or sharing thereof, potlucks or games...maybe bring people togetherbased on their interests/hobbies/ages...

Aug 27, 2009 7:46 PM

26 One thing the SEN group should be doing is organizing a neighborhood disaster planning and response effort. Anothertopic of focus should be as an advocate for the public schools serving our area. Also, making better use of the AmazonPark area should be a long-term topic. There is so much potential for a beautiful showcase of landscape architecture andpark design at Amazon Park but it is a hodge podge of poorly integrated and designed uses right now.

Sep 1, 2009 9:55 PM

27 neighborhood street party. combined yard sales. organize neighborhood to develop natural areas while also expandingbusiness and job opportunities within the neighborhood and city.

Sep 2, 2009 5:28 PM

28 We live in a city and we must offer a way to grow as well as maintain our open spaces - a no growth policy is absurd in acity.

Sep 7, 2009 4:15 AM

29 Clean up trash and graffiti Sep 8, 2009 9:37 PM

30 The neighborhood groups are a waste of time and money. Sep 12, 2009 1:36 AM

31 meet and greets Sep 12, 2009 4:02 AM

32 In checking the above here is what I do NOT want to do. Assume 2,000 homes in my neighborhood. If 38 homes definean issue to be a "neighborhood concern" and the balance of homes don't care, then I don't want the issue by the "38" to bedefined as a neighborhood association issue. It may be important to some but I would not want the appearance of anoverall organization to project the desires of the vocal few.

Sep 13, 2009 10:49 PM

33 Again, no neighborhood association exists and this town isn't capable of doing what is necessary to make a niceneighborhood nice.

Sep 14, 2009 6:10 PM

34 Our association already does most or all these things mentioned above. Sep 15, 2009 9:02 PM

35 Inform neighborhoods of development decisions that effect them; inform neighbors about cleaner burning/heating optionsand dangers of pesticide use. It is important to be responsible in these issues both for general environmental reasons andto protect neighborhood health. I am very pleased with the sustainability initiatives--and the way they have currently begunto link neighbors.

Sep 19, 2009 12:52 AM

36 We believe that our disatisfaction does not come from the neighborhood association, but from the city's lack of providingstandard service to members of the community.

Sep 20, 2009 5:29 PM

37 These are all done in our Edgewood Association. Sep 21, 2009 8:18 PM

38 none Sep 25, 2009 9:00 PM

39 Bike lanes on the road so people stop riding on the sidewalk. And noisy vehicles,. Loud music from cars and Harleys!Ewwww

Sep 26, 2009 4:12 PM

40 The neighborhood association has done a good job with Amazon creek headwaters issues. Continued work on this andother issues that influence the neighborhood are valuable to me.

Sep 28, 2009 5:17 PM

41 Helping clean up the community type events Sep 28, 2009 6:05 PM

42 Provide info on things like spraying (Gypsy moths), construction, crime stats/alerts, school events that may causecongestion.

Sep 28, 2009 6:51 PM

43 Having more opportunities for people in my neighborhood to interact would be cool! Sep 28, 2009 7:42 PM

44 We have been informed somewhat on land use but when we THOUGHT we would hear about crime, all we got was a ladyon neighbor watch

Sep 28, 2009 10:59 PM

45 Getting to know each other at BBQ at park sounds exciting. Sep 29, 2009 3:20 AM

46 This I will have to think about Sep 30, 2009 7:24 AM

47 I am most concerned about saving the forest and green space in my neighborhood and I know my association is workingon that. I wish I could be more involved but I have too small children and the meetings are too late for us.

Sep 30, 2009 11:57 PM

48 Perhaps a Neighborhood quarterly "impact" statement. What's happening as far as City of Eugene policy as it affects ourparticular neighborhood.

More activities that encourage healthy and constructive gathering for children/youth.

Organized bikeway cleanups.

Neighborhood "Speeders-Trap". Effort to eliminate extreme speeders & excessive noise violators.

Oct 2, 2009 7:41 AM

49 I have a VERY limited amount of time to devote to the association, but I would like to still be informed and would be willingto occasionally help with projects, events or just sending out communication to the neighborhood.

Oct 3, 2009 5:51 AM

50 Traffic control issue, Education on wood stove use and wood burning Oct 3, 2009 6:20 PM

51 From looking at other neighborhood association websites, some of them already do nearly all of these. Perhaps it would bebeneficial to learn from them.

Oct 3, 2009 6:43 PM

52 Most of my neighborhood is a very affluent area and the association reflects those interests and influences -- ignoring the"flatlands" and their needs.

Oct 3, 2009 11:02 PM

53 Actually my neighborhood association rocks Oct 4, 2009 8:38 PM

54 Road construction, tree maintenance, etc. I'd love a community potluck just to get to know my neighbors. I'd be happy tovolunteer for a neighborhood beautification project or to do something to support the local schools. I don't know of anypressing issues at this time to be addressed but as they arise I like the opportunity for interested parties to get involved.

Oct 13, 2009 5:26 PM

55 I am not sure again how the association is structured or operating currently. I don't feel able to suggest any particulars atthis point.

Oct 15, 2009 10:14 PM

56 Our neighborhood has organized well in the past to stop development above our home, so I think they are representing ourinterests well.Knowing about things like spraying or other things going on that affect us is good.For social activities: maybe a cook-out or potluck or even a film series, maybe? Teach us to build those bird boxes Imentioned or how to make our homes safer or sponsor a neighborhood beautification program, even just planting a lot ofbulbs for the Spring would be nice. Perhaps a presentation on dealing with invasive plants? Even maybe just somevolunteering to help eachother out, like with keeping the yards nicer, perhaps we could help eachother there. Some of ushave more tools/expertise/are younger/have more energy, etc. could volunteer some time to help out some of the otherfolks a bit if they'd like? I'm unsure how to do that without it sounding like we are judging/criticizing/trying to do a makeoveror make everyone's property the same.

Oct 16, 2009 7:31 AM

57 annual block parties to encourage meeting your neighboreducational workshops on gardening or home improvementsif area is predominantly rental properties, encourage landlords to take pride in their properties and their renters

Oct 17, 2009 7:33 PM

58 no specific suggestions Oct 17, 2009 8:06 PM

59 The neighborhood association seems to be more interested in the political aspects of the area. It needs to be a bit moreabout creating a sense of community around our neighborhood.

Oct 17, 2009 8:08 PM

65 develop neighborhood watches Oct 17, 2009 10:48 PM

66 a few pedestrian bridges across amazon creek would help connect east and west neighbors. Oct 17, 2009 11:43 PM

67 Our immediate neighborhood on Agate (and side streets) south of 30th has pretty much given up on expecting SENeighbors to care a whit about our safety issues, much less do anything. We'd be better represented, I think, being part ofthe Amazon Neighborhood Assn.

Oct 17, 2009 11:50 PM

68 I think that a newsletter listing people who babysit, take care of pets, etc. would be a great idea. Also, I think that ourneighborhood should be informed if there is ever any crime in our neighborhood.

Oct 18, 2009 12:19 AM

69 i think our association does an ok job - i do need to be more aware/involved Oct 18, 2009 12:29 AM

70 Not sure. Oct 18, 2009 12:53 AM

71 I'm content to get the newsletter with updates on neighborhood issues. Oct 18, 2009 12:57 AM

72 Newsletter and meetings. Oct 18, 2009 1:03 AM

73 Demonstrate that they have any power or value in promoting the kind of change I want (fast-backward about 35 years,thank you).

Oct 18, 2009 1:31 AM


6 of 15


74 The newsletter is not very memorable or interesting. Activities: Block parties, fundraisers for parks or beautification.Projects: clean-ups, tree plantings, dog park!

I am not aware of any voice we have with regards to things like sidewalks, bike paths and lanes, neighborhood planning. Itdoesn't feel like we have any. It would be nice to feel like we have more say. As far as organizing to address neighborhoodissues, I would be willing if I felt like it could make a difference. At this point I don't feel like it would.

Oct 18, 2009 1:44 AM

75 We should all want to work together to maintain/improve our great community/neighborhood. Oct 18, 2009 1:50 AM

76 no further comments Oct 18, 2009 2:03 AM

77 Summer or holiday socials to help get to know each other Oct 18, 2009 2:37 AM

78 Trash cleanup. Oct 18, 2009 3:17 AM

79 We do not know the association well enough yet. Oct 18, 2009 3:50 AM

80 Reduce the speed limit on Fox Hollow. Oct 18, 2009 5:04 AM

81 It would be great to hold some sort of event at Edgewood Plaza to make it feel like more of a gathering place. Not surewhat. A small carnival for kids in the summer with pony rides in the parking lot? Live music once per summer in theparking lot?

Oct 18, 2009 5:22 AM

82 We don't need an neighborhood Association. Dissolve it. Oct 18, 2009 5:34 AM

83 I think my n. assoc does a great job. More picnics; group projects in the park, tree planting, neighborhood walks andactivity days, lobby for a Nectar way 1 block sidewalk, what do do about drug and party houses + barking dogs,

Oct 18, 2009 5:55 AM

84 More neighborhood activities Oct 18, 2009 6:14 AM

85 I have no specific suggestions. Oct 18, 2009 8:43 AM

86 The association does a good job in these areas already. No further suggestions from me. Oct 18, 2009 9:51 AM

87 How about a listserv or blog for the area where we can sign up to get information regularly and comment on? I would liketo see emergency planning and training. We had a model in Seattle we used that had great ideas on safe houses, etc.

Oct 18, 2009 3:54 PM

88 In particular keep us informed of developers trying to develop the hills and woods in the neighborhood. Oct 18, 2009 4:45 PM

89 A lot of people cannot make meetings, it would be nice to have web access and put topics up where people can voice thieropinions. That way you would get much more feedback

Oct 18, 2009 4:48 PM

90 A good old-fashioned, ice cream social sort of thing could be held at the Spencer Butte Middle School ball fields. Otherevents could be hosted there as well...

Oct 18, 2009 4:49 PM

91 neighborhood projects would be nice Oct 18, 2009 4:51 PM

92 Democratic representation, not emotional response. Oct 18, 2009 5:06 PM

93 I am not sure I want a small contingency representing the entire neighborhoods interests. I would like the association tomaximize the number of members and work to get more people involved.

Oct 18, 2009 5:31 PM

94 I would simply encourage you to continue informing us about topics that relate to our neighborhood, give us the opportunityto participate (as you do), and make sure that residents realize that their input can make an impact. (assuming it does).

One suggestion regarding social activities: I believe that there is one annual social event, i.e. the neighborhoodpicnic/potluck in Tugman Park. What a wonderful idea. Unfortunately, in the two years we have been here, we have beenunable to attend. Would it be worthwhile to perhaps schedule two annual events, to allow more options for participation?

99 Public safety and more information on what is being accomplished by the city. Oct 18, 2009 8:59 PM

100 Please read my suggestions from the previous comments made above. Oct 18, 2009 9:37 PM

101 Unfortunately my time constraints do not permit active participation Oct 18, 2009 9:44 PM

102 I think that the neighborhood association is doing a pretty good jobs in these areas and would like to see it continue Oct 18, 2009 9:53 PM

103 When "improvements" were proposed several years ago, when I spoke with city personnel they said I was the only personin the neighborhood that questioned the "improvements," although neighbors said they too shared my same concerns andneeds... They just did not know how to contact the city/find out who they were supposed to call. I would like to see theassoc. represent inform, represent, educate, & organize neighbors ... And teach neighbors how they can have a voice.

Oct 18, 2009 10:20 PM

104 Provide accurate, not biased information about proposed developements and other city programs. Oct 18, 2009 11:14 PM

105 Not just the big controversial issues (development, Amazon Headwaters, important as those are) -- but smaller community-building projects like Amazon clean-up, tree-planting, Neighborhood Watch, safety updates, etc.

110 Perhaps a weeding party for our park space Oct 19, 2009 12:40 AM

111 I think my NA does a fine job keeping me informed and of encouraging participation. I am not sure they could do anybetter.

Oct 19, 2009 1:21 AM

112 The Southeast Neighbors did an outstanding job organizing to stop the development along Dillard Road. They are to becommended for their hard work and ultimate success!

Oct 19, 2009 2:16 AM

113 It would be fun to have neighborhood social gatherings and sports teams. Oct 19, 2009 2:50 AM

114 Ideas: supporting our neighbors whose home just burned down with financial, goods, or other support; traffic calmingzones; Amazon headwaters; park and river cleanups; composting and gardening workshops; working with public schoolslike Parker Elementary to teach children about community involvement and how they can be involved as well as adults.

Oct 19, 2009 4:19 AM

115 See 3 above. Social gatherings: annual events: summer picnic, December holiday party, spring hike, fall Duck gametailgate in neighborhood.

118 safety updates. Oct 19, 2009 4:20 PM

119 address the on street parking and common area issues I have already mentioned Oct 19, 2009 6:36 PM

120 None. Waste of time for me. Oct 19, 2009 6:40 PM

121 Educational workshops would depend on the timeliness of the topic. Neighborhood associations should not be organized for political purposes when they are sponsored with city funds.

Oct 19, 2009 6:47 PM

122 Perhaps performing home and yard maintenance for those that cannot do it themselves. Oct 19, 2009 7:03 PM

123 Education leads to action...a birding workshop for this area of town would be beneficial, as would a native species andnoxious weed workshop.

126 I would love for all the neighbors in this area to get together and create a community garden perhaps in Tugman park, orcreate a yard share for our crops. Classes in how to garden, what to garden, and how to compost would be nice too.

135 other than the Amazon headwaters issue, which now seems to be resolved, I'm not aware of any other pressing subjects Oct 20, 2009 12:27 AM

136 Our neighborhood organizes our own events. We have a block party every summer, and we socialze from time to time.Problems are usually dealt with on an individual basis.

141 Park cleanups and improvements Oct 20, 2009 4:28 AM

142 I would like to know if other people in my neighbor-hood have experienced break-ins and, if so, what, if anything, they aredoing to deal with them.

Oct 20, 2009 6:28 AM

143 I would want to know that the association is on top of the issues in the neighborhood and would let me know which issuesthey are working on. It would be most important that they are an advocate for us and a watchdog in case things developthat could affect the neighborhood negatively. I think they do this somewhat already.

145 survey residents about issues of concern. Oct 20, 2009 5:44 PM

146 There is currently very poor communication in the neighborhood. Perhaps more people would attend if meetings werepractical as well as topical, and there was a sense of being welcomed. At present it seems to be impossible to find minutesof meetings, and for many months the actual location was listed incorrectly in news and website.

Oct 20, 2009 6:35 PM

147 None. Oct 20, 2009 6:53 PM

148 This would be noting proposed changes. Oct 20, 2009 7:59 PM

149 A newsletter would inform neighbors.Maybe a neighborhood garage sale and organized block parties.

Oct 20, 2009 8:42 PM

150 Better represent the interests of ALL residents Oct 20, 2009 8:42 PM

151 Whoa. I'd like a lot without having time to give a lot. Not very practical. Our immediate neighbors take precedence as to ourneeds and communion.

Oct 20, 2009 9:18 PM

152 Safety, development Oct 20, 2009 10:01 PM

153 Generally speaking the Southeast Neighbors association does these things pretty well. Oct 20, 2009 10:24 PM

154 I look forward to taking greater part in the neighborhood association when my kids are a bit older. At present my scheduledoes not allow me to be as active as I'd like.

Oct 21, 2009 1:44 AM

155 A more frequent newsletter with more pages would help communication. About 15 years ago I was on a committee whose purpose was to get a park built on Shadow Wood Drive. Through variousactivities we had a fund ready when the parks bond measure was approved and it was used to provide some 'extras' whenShadow Wood Park was built. This kind of activity can provide real benefits that neighbors can use and enjoy. ShadowWood Park is heavily used by children and adults who live nearby.

159 Unkempt yards in rental properties. Oct 21, 2009 7:12 PM

160 Helping keep Amazon creek clean, address invasive plant issues. Oct 21, 2009 11:21 PM

161 Topics could cover: ways to preserve home values and improve the overall neighborhood during this recession andcrime/safety/fire protection issues. Social activities could include block parties or other affordable community gatherings to allow neighbors to meet andinteract positively.Sponsoring projects could include inventoring the local flora and fauna/trees and wildlife as well as cleaning andmaintaining neighborhood features and sponsoring public works of art, where appropriate.Ways to organize neighbors to address issues could include email/web discussion boards and other online interactiveopportunities for those who cannot regularly make meetings.

166 Safe walking, running, and cycling paths; safe routes to schools for children. Oct 22, 2009 3:34 AM

167 provide a comfortable plece where people could get together on a regular basis if they choose, to potluck and socialize;especially during the winter months. It would be great to have a neighborhood community space where we could shareideas, post things, sit on comfortable furniture and and just hang out together even just to say Hi. I think alot of goodconnections and creativity could flow from a space like this.

Oct 22, 2009 5:34 AM

168 Have a newsletter with less of an agenda and more newsProjects - trail improvements - park land clean-upLet's remove agendas and have open and inclusive discussions regarding neighborhood

Oct 22, 2009 2:40 PM

169 I would certainly not expect this to all happen without my participation! Perhaps this is my year to get involved. Oct 22, 2009 5:13 PM

170 Gardening workshops would be wonderful! Oct 22, 2009 6:11 PM

173 I think our neighborhood association is pretty active but I have only been involved when there was a dire issue at stake -Amazon Headwaters. I seem to be pretty busy already, it's hard to find time to get involved at this level.

Oct 23, 2009 3:14 PM

174 I this the association is informing us about neighborhood issues. I'd like to see some social activities, maybe a monthlypotluck. Cleanup projects are always a good way to beautify the neighborhood and get people together. I think theassociation is organizing neighbors to address issues if they want to participate.

Oct 23, 2009 8:16 PM

175 Create projects that encourage pride in our properties and streets. Clean up junk. Not accept that the homeless peopleshould live in Amazon park and along the creek.

Oct 23, 2009 9:53 PM

176 I would like an association that is completely independent from City. Oct 24, 2009 12:20 AM

177 Not sure how I would like to participate at this time. Oct 24, 2009 1:52 AM

178 Clean up of amazon creek and Rexius trail; block parties Oct 24, 2009 7:04 PM

179 sponsoring local projects and providing varied educational workshops are the top activities I'd like to see. Examples arehaving a group like Walama Restoration do an educational session for the association on invasive species control, nativespecies enhancement, etc, and a corresponding local project to work on common areas and selected/volunteered privateproperties.

Oct 24, 2009 7:33 PM

180 Neighborhood specific web site with message board.Picnics, dance, etc.Trail maintenance.

Oct 24, 2009 9:55 PM

181 a block or area party would be nice. Oct 25, 2009 3:02 AM

182 All of these are good. For myself, I would like to just get to know some of my neighbors without having to debate the largerissues (which I don't feel adequately educated about to debate!) Perhaps a few social activities would raise awareness forthose of us who aren't really 'in the loop'

Oct 25, 2009 4:07 PM

183 Keep our streets well marked, Lit well, safe for school children to walk. Oct 26, 2009 3:09 AM

184 Formulating objectives and programs for improving the neighborhood that the NEIGHBORHOOD can carry out withoutfunding from the city government and hence, not imposing on its responsibilities to best meet CITY-WIDE objectives andneeds. Neighborhood groups should not be political action entities to promote any particular candidate for the city councilof other such body.

Oct 26, 2009 3:16 AM

185 Actually, our neighborhood org. is already doing an impressive job of most of the above. The only social event, seems tobe an annual family picnic in Tugman park, however--maybe occasional evening socials? block parties?

Oct 26, 2009 3:38 AM

186 Neighborhood clean-up projects, encourage landlords of rental properties to participate in making their housing safe, wellmaintained.

Oct 26, 2009 3:49 AM

187 Such as Scotch Broom Removal Oct 26, 2009 4:44 PM

188 The SEN already does much of this. Two suggestions might be providing ongoing information through the SEN websiteabout current crime issues, and schools.

Oct 26, 2009 8:19 PM

189 Give me a way to participate in neighborhood projects. For instance: "Show up here at this time to help dig out a sand pit atthe playground"

Oct 26, 2009 11:14 PM

190 A neighborhood block party would be fun Oct 26, 2009 11:56 PM

191 We have had barbeque block parties in the past to welcome new neighbors. Oct 27, 2009 2:12 PM

192 Safety, both traffic and crime. Tresass and privacy in our homes and in our yards. Can't turn in our bottles and cans orshop at a local grocer without being accosted by bums, mostly drunk and aggressive bums. People come onto myproperty to steal things, urinate, etc. Noise from local business is very disruptive to our neighborhood and working with thecity has not helped.

Oct 27, 2009 7:17 PM

193 Enforce noise complaints - nothing is currently enforced. Oct 28, 2009 1:36 AM

194 Some of this is already occurring in the way of printed cards/newsletters/flyers. An e-mail system might be more efficient. Oct 28, 2009 3:03 AM

197 Organize street tree replacing efforts, educational workshops on landscaping with natives, online source for communityinvolvement/ bulletin boards, direct connection to council members.

Oct 29, 2009 5:49 PM

198 It's not always about enviromental things. Crime is much more important, bike riders obeying the traffic laws and etc. Oct 29, 2009 10:21 PM

199 Most of the above Oct 30, 2009 5:44 PM

200 Since I believe that people are fully aware of their self absorbed behavior and since attitudes are the root cause of incivility,I do not support efforts toward education. I definitely do support efforts toward changing behavior but believe this must bethe result of consistent predictable enforcement of codes and laws. Quality of life and safety issues are important. Weseem to do at least a fair job of suppressing violent crime and major property crimes and this is obviously imperative.However, so-called "quality of life" issues such as driving behavior or the neighbor who allows his dog to bark at all hoursand states "there is nothing I can do about it" can definitely influence one's sense of neighborhood.I, therefore, suggest that the association would garner more support if it represented residents' interests in quality of lifeareas. Insist on consistent and predictable enforcement of existing code/law. Do not attempt to change attitudes...anotorious waste of time...but never stop trying to change behavior.

205 see previous suggestion. Nov 1, 2009 4:20 PM

206 I would help with the canvas. Nov 2, 2009 1:42 AM

207 However, I would use some caution in using the association to advocate for any particular position... Strong opinions inassociation leadership or key members could lead to inappropriate influence. E.g., I was shocked to see a recent SENnewsletter criticize the conservation of oak savanna as by attacking the scientific accuracy of the word "restoration". Igather some opinionated members in fact more interested in limiting human activity and are willing to sacrifice oaksavanna to that end. I find this shocking in part because a few years ago, the same leadership advocated selectivelyincreasing land-use regulation based on the presence of oak savanna, under Goal 5.

Nov 2, 2009 4:51 PM

208 An informative newsletter sent out to homes in the neighborhood and especially those of new homeowners or recentlyarrived people in the neighborhood would be helpful. Also, social activities like potlucks in the summer time to raise moneyfor neighborhood projects like the upkeep of parks and streets are marvelous ideas to get to know the other people in yourneighborhood and to raise the value of housing prices.
