5-we already have a gas station on 7th, just 2 blocks away from this location 6-we don't want big gulp cups rolling <br />around in our streets and yards! This is a major issue! Please go see for yourself the garbage and filth at the 7/11 on <br />7th/Jefferson! <br />7- Our neighborhood has been just fine without a corporate eyesore for a very long time. Why change it? Do they <br />provide good jobs? <br />8- Is 7/11 good for our community? Are they selling local, environmentally friendly products? We all got non-recyclable <br />plastic coupons in the mail to tempt us into visiting the other new 7/11, so we know they plan on filling our mailboxes <br />with more garbage. Or should we call it propaganda? Or bribes? <br />9- a gas Station 2 blocks from a gas station, and a coffee shop with a drive through, next door, literally, to a drive <br />through coffee shop?! Can we please consider the impact of a giant corporate suck? Please keep Eugene a local friendly <br />environment! This is the type of thing that kills small town USA! I don't want this in my city, let alone in my <br />neighborhood! <br />10-what impact does a gas station have on the environment? What if there's a fuel tank leak? Does the city require <br />seismic testing or earthquake proof containers? What happens to our homes and home values if there is a leak, or a <br />spill? <br />11-Sustainably- with the evolution of electric vehicles and the demand for clean energy, what happens to this facility in <br />2025? 2030? 2040? <br />12-why here? Why now? Recent construction of new gas stations is surprisingly quick. Who is benefiting? Two at <br />99/Roosevelt, one at 6th/Garfield, and now proposing one at 7th/Polk? <br />With cars being more fuel efficient than ever before, what is the real reason for new/additional gas stations? We don't <br />want one in our neighborhood. We have families and children and pets, and school bus stops, and would prefer not to <br />add another supplier of disposable convenience for drug addiction and homelessness. <br />Honestly this feels like a foregone conclusion, the corporate giant is coming. The best we can do now is limit its impact <br />on our neighborhood and make them pay to improve our community by improving roads and traffic signals. <br />My name is George Keim. <br />I live at 810 Polk St, Eugene OR 97402. <br />1 live with my wife and daughter. <br />We have lived at this address for 11 years. <br />I will be talking to my neighbors about this. <br />I hope you hear from them. <br />Also, I expect the deadline to be pushed back, and new flyers mailed to the residents of Ward 1, so that we can all email <br />you at a valid address, that was not on the first flyer. <br />Thanks <br />z <br />
