MovingAhead 2018 Outreach Summary 35 ""minor arterial"" - would that designation change depending on the investment package decided upon? If so what are those changes? • All of your service is out of reach for me because I am more than 1/2 mile from a stop. • The most important thing you can do is keep on-time service. Passenger anxiety comes from waiting for the bus. That disappears when aboard in a seat. No matter how long the trip takes, they feel safe and secure. With only that ""on-time"" will you attract more riders. " • Highest priority should be placed on pedestrian and driver safety, then environmental concerns • I would like to see the options for east-west north of Beltline. • Need airport service • Preserve Blvd feel of coburg road. Close 4th Ave where it enters Coburg Rd. Consider bus pullouts on Coburg to help traffic flow. Widen bridge so lane flows to MLK. • Something needs to be done to Beltline at the bridge over the river now, not 10 years from now. • The bridges on Beltline need some serious help. There are really bad bottlenecks that need to be widened so traffic can flow better. This needs to be addressed. • I would LOVE to see the River Road corridor extend a little bit so myself, and others, could get to one of the many farms on public transportation. I solely rely on the bus. We have no way of accessing the benefits of farm fresh food. • Please have bus service to Greenhill. I would use it. • Focus on South Eugene! • I remember the construction/repaving along River Rd a few years ago, IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!!! Don't do it again! • In Coburg corridor under both EmX and Enhanced Transit scenarios consider station location with new traffic signal at Elysium/Coburg intersection. • The Emx needs to run from downtown through the hwy 99 corridor, down barger to greenhill and connect into the existing Emx that runs W 11th to downtown, U of O, Spfd and gateway. Should have been built when W 11th Emx corridor was built. • tho not in proposed corridors, Stop Light needed at Seneca & 5th St.: long back up on Seneca at rush hour due to stop sign. I don't use bus so didn't offer opinion on proposals. • WE would use public transport more if a corridor was placed to run east- west on Maxwell road there is nothing close enough for senior people. • Would be incredibly supportive of a more efficient bus route between downtown Eugene and Cottage Grove. Current transit time prohibits me from utilizing the existing route. • I think the most crucial corridor that should be on the list is Beltline. Stations could be installed at Beltline/Barger, Beltline/River Road, Beltline/Delta, and Beltline/Coburg. The existing stations in the Gateway area and also the station at the west end of West.11th could be used in this line. I truly believe many more people would get out of their cars and use EmX. All of the northern neighborhoods could then access some of the Eugene and Springfield's top employers much easier. This could potentially reduce the congestion issues on Beltline as well. • At this time, I do not use EmX as it takes me significantly longer time to take EmX compared to driving. • Lower cost, lower impact. EmX is great where it is, but don't you think the community would be better served if we actually implemented feeder routes with smaller more economical vehicles February 19, 2019, Work Session - Item 1
