I own a business next to these events. We're local and we have synergy. However, when the parks are filled with vendors selling their goods and wares, our employees and customers cannot access our business that needs SYNERGY EVERYDAY so it can PAYS TAXES and PROVIDES LIVING WAGE JOBS. When those parks are filled with temporary stores, they are no longer available to the PUBLIC AS PARKS. We have facilities for local farms and piccadilly fairs, it's called the LANE COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS. I'm sure the fairgrounds would like to have traffic at their facility that is both purpose built and equipped with bathrooms, parking, power etc... Downtown Eugene does not need this kind of activity to draw customers to the core. We have parking structures that are oversold by the city and that problem is exacerbated by this style of street vendor. Keep the park blocks free of TEMPORARY STORES and return them to the public space that is not associated with exchange of goods and services for CASH.
