MovingAhead 2018 Outreach Summary 33 • It would be nice if fares could be reduced/subsidized by say a fuel tax. Those that drive (like me) would be willing to pay more to help get other drivers into buses. That reduces the traffic congestion I have. • You could help by having printouts of the boards. • Nice open house presentation. Informed staff helpful to discussion. Thank you for thoughtful process. This is visionary and exciting! Support evaluation of all corridors together, smart, cost effective, educational. • I don’t really see how this survey gathers helpful information. The point allocation part didn’t make a lot of sense to me. I wasn’t 100% sure what I was allocating points to. • I think concerns of people living in these areas should have the weight as the businesses in the area and not less. Some decisions seem to only cater to business concerns and not the residence of these corridors. This is not fair or right. • It would be helpful to have more clarity regarding the difference between the Enhanced Corridor and EmX options as they relate to each specific corridor. • I think the City and LTD have done good things for transportation planning. This metro area is ahead of the curve when you compare the level of transportation and variety of service of Eugene and Springfield to eastern cities of similar size. I like all the build solution options presented for each corridor. My only suggestion is related to the presentation. You should consider showing a current road section above or below the proposed road section, so you can compare the existing to proposed directly. Also, clearly labeling the right of way line on each section would be very helpful. • Is it a typo that the enhanced option for 30th ave would actually decrease ridership? I couldn't find any explanation for that. Also, neither map for 30th Ave showed any of the yellow bike improvements along 30th itself, which is probably the most dangerous section. • Please contact Residents of Willamette Gardens Apartments themselves on Kinsrow Ave. We (a low-income housing complex) AREN'T affiliated with the U of O and I don't appreciate the lack of transparency, lack of outreach to us, and over-reliance on the university for communication with Kinsrow Ave housing residents and I DON'T appreciate the assumption that 100% of Kinsrow Residences are all 100 percent UO related. Plenty of non-students and non-staff live there. You may contact me at 541-514-3535 • the travel time measurement was stated something like ""PM peak travel time on a corridor from farthest extent of the line to Eugene station"". This measure should be from Eugene Station to the farthest extent of the line to capture the direction most people want to move at the end of the day, i.e. from work to home. if you measure it as you stated you are capturing the reverse of the commute most people need and it is not a valuable measure of system effectiveness. • Your Springfield and Gateway routes are done OK. Your west 11th route and execution are criminal. Your arrogance is disgusting! Respond to what the VOTERS and TAX PAYERS want. Going forward you could have a real nice rail system between the Airport and Amtrak station via the existing rail right of ways, and include stops near each major arterial. That route would not destroy existing traffic patterns and local businesses, provide a fairly rapid thru system, and utilize existing rail crossings, and still provide local accesses. Your history causes major doubts going forward. Hopefully you will plan and execute our transportation system better than this non-responding web site. February 19, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
