MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 44 <br />Low cost with some performance gain <br /> You expect 34,000 new people and 37,000 new jobs by 2032.This is important. Enhanced <br />Corridor Package can fix the growing. <br /> This package would appear to be the least disruptive to current travel patterns....I get it, we <br />need to improve bus line, sidewalks, add a bike lane, but...I would like to see what impact <br />happens first, if the bus transit station is really built there on corner of River Road and Hunsaker <br />Lane. <br /> It needs to be a small transit station, and you need to look at locating additional property, <br />further up north, the property where the former grocery store is comes to mind (and I guess <br />right now is a Uhaul center?) <br /> This package has the smallest annual operating cost and helps a large area. Price is moderate so <br />would get public support. <br /> This is the package that best serves the entire community and my favorite. It comes in at a <br />balanced cost and should have the greatest potential to increase ridership. An increase in <br />ridership should be a highly weighted metric in the selection process. I'd also like to see a new <br />package that includes Enhanced transit package that puts EMX-level budget towards <br />bike/pedestrian infrastructure. <br /> This is the best of the packages as it is low investment while providing gains, particularly for <br />pedestrians. <br /> This is my favorite package. Please enhance biking and walkability everywhere! <br /> This community can't afford a large investment. This does the job well enough. <br /> The lack of safety may be a concern, but the extra routes at little cost does seem very promising, <br />no matter how few people ride them. <br /> Small improvements <br /> Seems to maintain the status quo particularly without additional Emx service. <br /> Not as much money to invest - America is so behind on funding public transit, so we are always <br />strapped - and some benefit to the community. I know people will squawk about any money to <br />help others/the environment, so this might be more viable than other options. <br /> Meets the needs of cyclists <br /> Low impact, limited ridership increase <br /> Low cost, benefits all five corridors, lower developmental impact <br /> Low cost significant improvement <br /> Low annual operating cost with a good sized increase in ridership. <br /> Limited expansion of service and limited improvements in bike/ped safety <br /> Less impact on operating costs and lover capital costs, fewer impact on trees, etc., while <br />improving transit time and bicycling and walking safety. <br /> It's cheaper with lower investment needed. It still meets community needs. <br /> It sounds like it would work just fine for the areas included. <br /> It is a good short term solution for our area's needs. Frequent buses with limited stops at <br />transfer points makes good near turn sense. <br /> Improved service with lower annual operating costs <br /> I think, in the nearer future, that this would be a great approach. I lean towards Package C <br />sooner and the EmX package long-term, but I think that one would take long enough that it <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
