sonically, ecologically? How does it come out from the above study-parameters? Don't you think a study <br />across the river would be a good study? <br />BIKE-PEDESTRIAN-DOG CORRIDORS <br />As a final suggested study, go to that 12-foot-wide strip of black asphalt running parallel to the <br />Willamette River. Spend an hour, better two or three. Better a day, or even two. Get to know that allee. <br />Talk with the passers-by. Try to understand the bikers. See if you can pet a dog or two. Ask for its <br />name. Is the dog friendly or hostile? Is this the dog's fault or yours? Now, be quiet and meditate. <br />Separate yourself. Think about the relationship of this space to the existing built space. It's at peace. It <br />balances. It works. Think about the relationship of this space to the proposed built space. Can you <br />believe with all your heart that the exact same relationship will result? If there is inner conflict you want <br />to ignore, reason out, fight, why do it? There's no harm in accepting the flow. Listen to what you are <br />getting. It's as valid as your AutoCAD commands. You can even understand what the dog is saying <br />through her or his spirit and body and face and tail. You will understand. Will you respond? <br />638 <br />
