"...it is critical that we address the public safety challenges facing downtown. For all of the wonderful progress that has been made, lingering illegal and unpleasant behaviors occur regularly in downtown, enabled by a lack of accountability or consequences for those actions."

This is why I refuse to go to downtown Eugene. I have said it here before that I do not feel safe going there or other areas close to it, like Alton Baker Park. The city of Eugene needs to address these issues, otherwise I will continue to take my money elsewhere.
