2 <br /> <br /> <br />The Friendly concept plan that is being pushed forward will make things worse for the present residents who <br />have occupied the area for decades. The proposed introduction of bike lanes on Willamette with the bus <br />stopping all traffic each way is ridiculous planning, and will clearly be a problem for people traveling down <br />the street. It will only add to traffic congestion in the area. The flow of traffic on Willamette will be awful and <br />will back up onto W 29th Ave ruining the quality of life for the residents in the area and making it harder for <br />people to exit the parking lots of the current businesses. Both businesses and residents will suffer as a result <br />of these changes. The walkable district concept plan will not make things better in that area and will make <br />things much worse, with increased traffic, pollution and noise in the surrounding areas. <br /> <br /> <br />Janet Bevirt <br />Ron Bevirt <br />Alida Bevirt
