Ms Curtis's description is accurate and her concerns are. IMO, shared by many.  I think many of us agree there's a significant problem.  The real issue is what to do about it.  

I think Eugene needs to answer a two part question:  Part A: Do the citizens of the city (and of lesser legitimacy...those of us who visit the city) want the downtown area to be "over-run"...yes, I know that's a loaded term....by Travelers? (I suggest it is,at this time)  and Part B: What can be done to address the issue?  At this point I think many persons who might, otherwise, be enjoying Downtown Eugene, have been, quite literally, "run-off" by the Travelers' obnoxious behavior.  Again I offer the very basic question: Does Eugene wish to surrender its Downtown to the Travelers?  This may seem blunt and less than politically correct, but, in fact, it is the basic question.
