MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 40 <br /> Not enough investment in transportation for our growing region. <br /> Not enough infrastructure for the low income and minority community (also, I do not like that <br />these two categories of humans are lumped together) <br /> Just not enough of an investment, we have greater needs in this community and need to be <br />building new transit infrastructure for our future. I would like to see a significant level of capital <br />investment. <br /> Its not EMX <br /> It seems to me that this is just kind of a baby-step in the right direction, but that we can do <br />more. <br /> It gives a little bit to the whole community but I don't think it is bold enough. <br /> I feel Lane county can do better than this, and that the investment in mass transit will create <br />more jobs through better public accessibility to transportation. <br /> Eugene-Springfield will keep growing. This seems like a bandaid. We need to get ahead of the <br />curve on mass transit. <br /> Doesn't go far enough. <br /> A minimal effort not worth the investment. <br /> EmX on River Road is a no=brainer. While I would rather see an enhanced corridor package than <br />nothing at all, I cannot support further delaying this critical package. 2) Any investment on the <br />Amazon Parkway corridor (even enhanced corridor) is a waste of money. Buses to LCC should <br />travel along Hilyard (with strong parallel bus service on Willamette); that is where the <br />destinations are, and committing to service on Amazon Parkway simply spreads South Eugene <br />service across too many parallel corridors to be useful. (Jarrett Walker report for Transit <br />Tomorrow suggests this in either scenario!) We should not invest in infrastructure that simply <br />sets into concrete the least efficient aspect of LTD's current system! <br />Opposition on principle <br /> You have grouped to many geographic areas that have different transportation needs. This tells <br />me you have failed to identify where the public transportation will be utilized by significant <br />number of the population basis. There are certain areas that will never opt for public <br />transportation and our weather is not conducive to wide spread bicycle use. <br /> What community do you get input from? Only those who want to force bad public <br />transportation options on others, not those who end up footing the bill. <br /> Transit system must be self-sustaining or discontinued. Vehicle Traffic continues to be <br />hampered by lack of supporting infrastructure investment which further stress the <br />vehicle/pedestrian/bicyclist interactions. If vehicles can be encouraged to travel nonstop to their <br />destinations, less pedestrian interaction will occur. Mass transit plans and pedestrian walkways <br />should be planned for those streets that are NOT arterial routes to reduce the interaction <br />encouraged by current colocation. <br /> Thats a lie that there is low impact on trees, property, and parking. Theres also a huge impact on <br />traffic. Do NOT put EMX on River Road. Theres no room and its not needed. EMX is a ridiculous <br />waste of money. Its a transient transporter. <br /> Poor. Quit stealing our money to pay for this useless transit projects. <br /> Only slightly more acceptable than NO BUIlD. <br /> Not necessary. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
