MovingAhead 2018 Outreach Summary 51
<br />stops at Barger, River Road, Green Acres, and Coburn. You’ll pick up a lot of hospital staff that
<br />aren’t willing to ride for hours instead of drive for 15 minutes. Yes I understand it’ll cost money,
<br />but you just spent $15 billion to replace an existing bus route. Also you already have the
<br />infrastructure at Walmart on W 11th, at River Road and at RiverBend. Seriously this is something
<br />you could do that the community would appreciate.
<br />• Thank you for your response, and for pointing me to the the P.M. Peak Hour Study Intersection
<br />Performance Table 9-5 in the full study - specifically in regard to the Coburg Corridor. After
<br />reviewing the tabulated data pertaining to “Delay” time, I offer the following observations and
<br />concerns. Fifteen intersections were evaluated in this corridor. Under existing conditions, the
<br />average delay at these intersections is 26 seconds. In the 2035 No-Build alternative, the average
<br />delay increases to 34 seconds. The Enhanced Corridor alternative actually slightly reduces the
<br />delay time compared to the No-Build alternative to just over 32 seconds. The EmX alternative,
<br />however, increases the average delay time to just over 43 seconds. Delays created by the
<br />Enhanced Corridor alternative are longer than the No-Build alternative at nine of the 15 or 60%
<br />of the intersections (#27, 29, 30, 31, 33, 35, 36, 39, 40), and they are longer than those created
<br />by the EmX alternative at four intersections (#32, 35, 36, 40). The differences may not be much
<br />at each intersection, but every delay adds up when traveling through the corridor. Additionally,
<br />four of the intersections (#30, 31, 32, 37) will not meet current level of service standards. The
<br />EmX alternative causes even longer delays. Eleven of the 15 or 73% of the intersections (#27, 28,
<br />29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39) will experience delays longer than the No-Build alternative, and
<br />10 of the 15 or 67% (#27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39) will be delayed longer than they
<br />would in the Enhanced Corridor alternative. Notably, the delay at the Coburg Road/Country Club
<br />Road/MLK, Jr. Boulevard intersection (#30) increases significantly by over 93 seconds when
<br />compared to existing conditions (127.3 seconds vs 34.0 seconds). In the No-Build alternative,
<br />three intersections (#30, 31,32) will not meet current level of service standards, and of these,
<br />one (#37) will not meet future Eugene standards. In the Enhanced Corridor alternative, all four
<br />of these intersections do not meet current standards but will meet future standards. In the EmX
<br />alternative, one intersection (#32) will not meet current standards, and the other three (#30, 31,
<br />37) will not meet future standards. From my perspective, with more design engineering given to
<br />improvements that accommodate future increases in automobile traffic, the Enhanced Corridor
<br />alternative may be able to provide safe, convenient and timely movement for ALL modes of
<br />transportation … but I doubt that the Coburg Corridor can realistically accommodate the EmX
<br />alternative to the satisfaction of those who live, work and travel along this thoroughfare.
<br />• Does LTD have an APP with maps that allow the user, me to locate how to plan a ride from, say
<br />Crescent & Coburg Road to , say the ends of the travel routes' lines.? Thank you. I wish to use
<br />LTD more frequently to go places.
<br />• Hello- I went to the October 1st listening session you guys held for LTD/the city.
<br />• I'm recently on the board for Jefferson Westside Neighbors (one of the neighborhood
<br />associations of Eugene) but am also in touch with some people on Bethel's board who are
<br />interested in the happenings on HWY 99. I wanted to get an idea of the timeline for this process.
<br />I understand it's been going for a few years, but is now getting to the point where public is being
<br />more involved and investment options are being seriously considered. I understand you have
<br />more public outreach in 2019. Is this true? What specifically will that entail? There's been talk of
<br />getting feedback from neighbors of preferences for the various investment options in Bethel &
