MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 49 <br /> Need more bike & pedestrian safety enhancements <br /> need EmX connection to the airport N. Eugene <br /> Minimal safety improvements for people who are walking/biking. Good investments in people <br />experiencing economic/social disadvantages. Minimal system transit time improvements. <br /> minimal increase in ridership <br /> Like EmX on River Road. Coburg Corridor needs improvement. <br /> Less consistent with local plans and lower community support <br /> Less consistent with local goals and plans; also low community support. Only invests in one area <br />of city when investment is needed comprehensively. <br /> Leaving out improvements for Coburg road is seen as a deal breaker to me. The enhanced <br />option would be better than this even though this does offer some expansion of EMX <br /> LCC 30th ave and river road need the most help <br /> Larger investment with no monies in budget to pay means larger increase in taxes which hurts <br />the very people it is meant to help. I question the ridership increase as we have not seen an <br />increase along the corridors that have been finished. More stop signs and pedestrian crossings <br />only means more green house gas emissions. Buses will not help the disadvantaged population <br />when they will have more taxes taken from their living wages and more green house gasses <br />making it harder to breath and more sick days from work. Also hurts the small businesses who <br />are the major players in giving living wages and providing jobs to the disadvantaged. Taking <br />away property and longer travel times will impact the business' along these routes. Customers <br />don't want to travel along the routes that adds travel time which in turn drives down <br />productivity in those areas. None of this is a good idea. Money should be spent in vocational <br />training or affordable housing or job creation not buses. <br /> Lack of specific determinants regarding package contents and specific considerations. Is this a <br />public works or a lane transit project? <br /> It's simply not worth the effort. I know many people living in the communities that this would <br />increase access to, and they seem to already have ample access to LTD services. <br /> Its not EMX <br /> It only addresses issues along two corridors, and only does that a little. <br /> It is kind of good because I live near Hwy 99, but since I travel to all areas, just focusing on these <br />two would not be best. <br /> It is better but doesn't cover the entire metropolitan area. <br /> It has a good focus on low income areas but neglects the high traffic bottleneck at the river <br />crossing. Also ignores helping with student traffic to the colleges which are also a demographic <br />that highly relies on the bus system. <br /> Inadequate. Need more LTD, bike, pedestrian <br /> Improving 30th avenue is important for our community. Several biking deaths have occurred <br />here, and that needs to be addressed. <br /> Improve cycling infrastructure for low income places, buses bring crime <br /> I'm not sure I understand the point of this package? Do you really expect that much increased <br />ridership from this part of the community? I live along river rd and the bus stops are never busy. <br />Nor does our region of Eugene want to bear the brunt of future residential expansion. That <br />burden should be shared equally across our community. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
