We live at <br />3435 Kincaid St, between 32nd St. and 35th St. In general, we support denser, in-fill development projects in <br />Eugene (reflected in many of the policies articulated in the Eugene Code, see esp. EC 9.0020.1.a-c). The <br />corner of Hilyard and 32nd St. seems like a perfect place for this kind of development, and we welcome the <br />energy that the new retail and residences will bring to the neighborhood. <br />We echo concerns in the Amazon Corner TIA (see section 6.2) that a possible pedestrian (and bike?) crossing <br />should be studied for the stretch of Hilyard between 31 st and 32nd. Even now, many pedestrians and bikers try <br />to cross Hilyard in that stretch, and with the development of a new residential complex the number of these <br />pedestrians and bikers will surely increase. We believe putting a crossing somewhere between 31st and 32nd <br />would help ensure the safety of pedestrians and bikers. <br />Thanks very much! <br />Sincerely, <br />Luke Habberstad <br />Ethan Guillen <br />
