The safe limit confirmed by scien- tists for humans to exist comfortably is 350 ppm. It’s a climate emergency, congress- man. Don’t you feel the heat? Jim Neu Eugene ROAD RULES REDUX I use one or two of the numerous crosswalks along River Road that are all marked with yellow caution lights and a vocal message: “Warning: Vehicles may not stop.” I suggest the vocal message be cor- rected to: “Warning: Vehicles will not stop.” The message would then, at least, be accurate. JJ Heshaw Eugene SOLD DOWN THE RIVER The Greenway Guardians guest view- point (EW, 7/25) and subsequent con- versations on the Weekly’s letters page highlight the valid concerns many in the community have when a public agency (Homes for Good, formerly HACSA) hooks its cart to a horse with a proven track record of not acting in the best pub- lic interest (Washington state developer Evergreen Housing Development Group). Chances are a person-on-the-street interview with someone who lives in the River Road area would be able to tell you something about the dreary job Ever- green did with their ECCO project (ex- pensive to rent apartments). ECCO cost $17 million to build, and Evergreen sold it shortly thereafter for a sweet $31 million.

Was that the sound of Tom McCall rolling over in his grave?
