"I hereby express grave concerns regarding the proposed development for the "ORI Building" at the western end of the Riverfront Research Park. It is imperative that a transparent, meaningful, and participatory planning process occurs to update the 1989 Master Plan before development occurs north of the railroad tracks.

I implore the Oregon Research Institute to find a suitable alternative location for their building and ask the University of Oregon to fully engage the faculty, student and campus staff in the planning and design of University-owned property on the banks of the Willamette River."
