New look to be chosen for mall
By Gary Hoh
E meiaW Contribute*
The Eugene Downtown
Design Committee reviewed
three designs of what the the
«ity's downtown mall could
look like in the future and
heard a sampling of citizen's
opinions on the plans taken
in a survey during the Eu
gene Celebration.
One design in particular
would radically t hange the
present look and operation
of the downtown mall d it is
adopted The plan to re-de
sign the mall comes after the
loss of its two anchor stores.
Scars. Roebuck & Co. and
The Hon Marche
"The downtown has
changed." said Tom Beck
with. who heads the con
sulting group hired by the
Downtown Design Commit
tee to design tin1 plans.
"What the committee has
to decide is what it is going
to lie, how it is going to la
done. and how it is going to
function "
Some streets now t losed
to auto traffic are bound to
Ire opened as part of changes
implemented in the plans
a move that has beam at the
center of the downtown de
flate.
“One opinion is for more
access to help businesses,
but the question is how
much and where.” Beckwith
said “The other is to pre
serve the special spaces
(fountains, playgrounds,
plazas and benches) in the
mall."
The problem is to create a
balance between the two.
The most feasible option.
Beckwith said, would lie to
open Willamette Street in
sin h a way that it could also
lx* closed to traffic during
the "sunny season” and for
spe< uil occasions.
The corner of Broadway
and Olive Street was cited as
the heart of the retail dis
trict, and a traffic corridor
forming a loop around the
six-block area could bo cre
ated to identify the area as a
major retail "node.” Beck
with said
However, some committee
members said the areas east
of the central mall — west of
the Oregon Electric Station
and fifth Street Public Mar
ket — are becoming very
successful and should also
fx’ considered in a new de
sign
A total of 572 people at
tending the Eugene Celebra
tion two weeks ago filled out
a survey on their use of the
mall and their opinions on
new designs.
The survey is just a sam
pling and not a scientific
study. Beckwith said.
At least ‘>0 percent of the
respondents said they liked
the outdoor spots on Broad
wav such as the seating and
eating area in front of
Rosewaters Cafe, the street
and sidewalk area between
Oak and Pearl, the new
"historic" light standards
and stores with overhead
awnings.
Only 57 percent liked the
large central fountain at the
intersection of Willamette
and Broadway.
The most highly recom
mended additions to the
mall were more restaurants,
cafes, night clubs, theaters,
cinemas, commercial service
stores, produce or flower
markets, and book, tape or
video stores.
The Downtown Design
Committee will hold a meet
ing Tuesday to decide which
plan to adopt; a public fo
rum on the design will be
held in two to three weeks.
