MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 46 <br />Package A <br />Concerns <br />Cost <br />Too much <br /> Why don't you focus on those who are not in the minority and those in the middle to upper <br />income groups? I keep reading and noticing a theme here that these projects are really serving <br />the minorities and low income groups at the expense of middle to upper income groups. <br /> I really do NOT want an EmX down Coburg road at all! After the disaster that is W 11th, I can <br />now see that that project was really a large money pit. I'm still waiting to see when an ROI will <br />be published. What really needs to be done is another bridge built over the Willamette River <br />that will connect downtown with North Eugene. Or, take the existing Ferry Street Bridge and <br />augment it by adding another lane both north and south for vehicle traffic. <br /> The costs per rider are even worse than the first option. <br /> The trips are slow, the costs are eye watering. You are burning $119 million for the chance to <br />offer rides that cost and additional $5.00 each. Has anyone asked if it makes sense to run a bus <br />service for a town this size and density? <br /> Seems like not much bang for the buck. By the way, whose bucks??? <br /> More costly and does not improve service on many corridors, pay more, get less option. <br /> High cost. Modest improvement <br /> High cost, low benefit. <br /> Cost <br />Too little <br /> We need more investment. <br /> Too much risk of spending for minimal long-term benefit. A solution that is only a band-aid. <br /> Not enough. <br /> Need much more investment to diminish cars, shrink roads, and to make driving more costly and <br />unpleasant. Focus should primarily be improving walking, secondarily on biking followed by <br />mass transit. Needs to be connected to plans to build 4 story housing to increase density along <br />major roads and in areas where it will have less impacts on single family residential <br />neighborhoods. Room for trees and vegetation needs to be increased as hardscape is <br />diminished. <br /> Inadequate investment in Coburg and MLK. <br /> I don't think this provides enough of an improvement in serving the community to offset the <br />cost and impact of the investment. <br /> Doesn't go far enough. <br /> Better than enhanced option, but still not enough investment in our community <br />Opposition on principle <br /> You know that Robin Hood was stealing from the rich and giving to the poor right? He was <br />taking taxes back from the government and giving it back to the people that the government <br />had stolen it from in the form of taxes. Taxing the rich to pay for transit in low income areas <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
