7North CFA is already developed=traffic and high density living? affordability? South CFA looks like a nice opportunity to start from scratch.5Would both of these areas get better traffic flow? How is the south area going to feel green when it is a commercial corridor? 3-4 story buildings? How will these planned developments effect our water shortages in the summer?Will more housing units/offices mean a strain our water supply? 0Both selected priority one areas encompass large area parcels owned by single organizations that have had decades to participate in any sort of redevelopment or revitalization or basic DEQ compliance. This will assure the climate friendly initiatives are not undertaken. The solar ordinance prevents the N side of Hersey that is more vacant from development to the current standards let alone taller more dense buildings, people and parking. The Croman site requires huge amounts of infrastructure to ever develop. The Railroad is a disinterested party and has been all talk for years.10These areas actually have potential to redevelop and have property owners that are more interested than Croman or CORP.The area of Hersey to RR is not a bad area, if included in the Ashland Street Option 2 area. Downtown should just have the height limit modified and it largely meets the CFA objectives. Croman Master plan can be massaged to meet CFA. Area of Washington/Jefferson and areas North Ashland in UGB outside city should be future areas. It might encourage annexation which provides a huge financial incentive to the city with the additional tax lots. The area across I5 zoned commercial should be included. Federal regulations limit heights but area is large and accessible to transit. 0 you are wasting money again. Quit wasting time and money on this nonsenseThings will work out naturally. This "climate" stuff is nonsense. 10I would love to see a Southside plaza and sensitivity to establish tended paths where people actually walk. We need more established right of ways that cross the tracks.5I live and walk in this area already. Make it more livable and walker friendly? I am all for that. Again, more right-of-ways with tended paths to cross the tracks would be great. Walking over the overpass is like walking on the freeway. Unfriendly. Slower traffic would be good or a tended path under the overpass.Ruth Coulthard [email protected] 8Transit connection from C1 to the rest of town. It is located in an area that still encourages/requires driving to other parts of Ashland.10I formerly lived in the south area and it is already walkable/bikeable from residences to essential businesses like food stores and restaurants.John Baxter [email protected] 10 CM is extremely close to I5 7Already a mix of housing and business 8All income Housing opportunities, grocery and other services, in a walkable neighborhood is the bigges challenge.8Organizing public transit with shorter routes that intersect each other would make journeys from home to grocery, dining, healthcare, work simple and timely.John-Scott Forester [email protected]
