MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 50 <br /> Why isn't there a package being considered that focuses on EMX for the Coburg corridor. It <br />looks like there's more population and jobs compared to River Road? Wouldn't that mean <br />greater potential to mode shift to transit/bike for daily commute? Coburg is also generally more <br />congested along the entire corridor compared to River Rd. <br /> I'm concerned about the impact on urban trees, especially big older trees that line River Road. <br /> Ignores core residents, especially elderly <br /> I think it is good to consider an option that is primarily targeted towards frontline communities, <br />however I think by focusing so closely on those communities this plan would not help them get <br />around town. Frankly, this plan could be seen as: We have an EmX and fancy busses that could <br />get folks from vulnerable communities around THEIR neighborhoods more efficiently, but it <br />keeps them from heading to the more affluent parts of town. <br /> I think impact on parking is necessary to effect cultural change <br /> I really think Coburg Rd needs improvement as it is expanding quite a bit. <br /> I own a business on Coburg road and work with clients and contractors from downtown. <br />Additionally, my girlfriend works at the University and we like to get together for lunch. <br />However, traffic connecting the south Coburg Road area to downtown and the University area is <br />usually quite heavy. Nothing about this package seems to improve that at all. <br /> I' not sure that this plan will help reduce the number of vehicles on the roads. <br /> I need the coburg road development for hospital access <br /> I like the focus on River Road and 99, but that's selfish of me, and I think it best to include more <br />options. <br /> I fully support investments in low income areas, but as a community we have to address climate <br />change too. It seems to me that the worst idling traffic and car use is Coburg Rd. I would like to <br />see auto use greatly decreased there and this option does not address that at all. <br /> I don't want the EmX on River Road. <br /> I don't think this impacts me at all and hard to know how it will impact others. <br /> I don't particularly want EmX on River Rd. I'm not sure why it is better than enhancing the bus <br />corridor. I do like that this package enhances Hwy 99, which I use a lot. <br /> I agree that these are the most critical corridors for investment. However, I want to see more <br />investment on Coburg Road. I often avoided the 66/67 because the service is too slow. <br /> Having EmX travel River should decrease traffic on Delta and Beltline interchange a bit. And with <br />it being the cheapest option as well as having the highest percent of disadvantaged population <br />reached it should have a positive impact on the local economy, allowing more people to get jobs <br />that are further away. <br /> happy to have the whole package for River Rd, would like to see more elsewhere - and more <br />bike/ped safety <br /> Good to have River Road emx and enhancements for 99, but Coburg needs now and will need <br />more enhancements as well. <br /> Except that River EMX should not terminate at the downtown Eugene Station, but should cross <br />the 11th street EMX so folks can transfer if they need to go downtown. You need to start <br />designing a grid system instead of a hub system. <br /> EmX is not necessary on River Road. <br /> Does not seem to geographically effect my family. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
