What do you think of the proposed ordinance that would ban dogs and skateboarders from Thirteenth Avenue? “I’m not against the ban. But I doubt it would affect my business. This is such a specialized service, I don’t think dogs and skate boards drive people toVRC." —Jerry Martin, owner of Campus Shoe Stop "I hate rules and I hate laws that limit things like that. But it’s true—this block has not only become an annoy ance, but I’m also afraid for some of my female friends.” —Andy Packard, student "I don’t think it would really affect the business. I think people who come down here on 13th are pretty used to everything. Dogs and skateboarders are normal here.... [They] haven’t got ten in our way.” —Koki Wilson, clerk West Moon Trading Company “Eugene is a nice, small town, and this kind of ban just doesn’t seem fair. The kids aren’t go ing to leave if you tell them they can’t have dogs. Or they’ll just migrate to some other place and the same thing will hap pen.” —Erin GillIlian, from Pennsylvania “It’s not right. I live in a house, I’m not homeless. I’m just outside waiting for my girlfriend and I wanted to bring my dog along.” —Klttredge Evans Eugene resident Ban: City trying to attract long term residents ■ Continued from Page 1 connected to the area.” The result is a falling down of landscaping and other resi dential maintenance. This abundance of short term renters coupled with a densely populated area makes for a shabby looking area, Pry or said. “We feel we can work on the physical appearance of the neighborhood,” she said. “It doesn’t have to look like no one cares about it.” The proposed dog and skateboard bans are in re sponse to making the West University neighborhood more enticing to long-term residents, Pryor said. The ban was designed not only by city officials but also with the input of local busi ness owners. “Area businesses are inter ested in taking this step,” she said. “It’s not unprecedent ed.” However Izzie Harbaugh, the manager of Mother Kali’s Books, said she has not been approached by the city and that dogs and skate boarders have not presented a problem to her business. "A ban doesn’t really seem fair,” she said. “I can’t say that [dogs or skate boarders on this street] have hurt the business. Sure, they irritate me some times, but they are just one of the situations of having a business located here.” I SUMMER READING FROM SIMON: & SCHUSTER AND SCRIBNER ROWING IN EDEN By Barbara Rogan A morally complex story about friendship, love, marriage, and family.
