it's also a shame to rush into this. we, eugene and springfield , are very lucky to have this in our area - it is a natural resource to present at it's best.   i would hope civic leader dont just jump at projects because there is some money to be made. take some time and look at it.. study how other places  - successful places - are built and what gives them charm.... it could be a beautiful gold mine. it surprises me at the number of people who have the income that they can follow the ducks around, take their student to a ski resort on holiday break... there are  a lot of people that pass through that particular stretch of road....
