MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 66 <br />people it is meant to help. I question the ridership increase as we have not seen an increase <br />along the corridors that have been finished. More stop signs and pedestrian crossings only <br />means more green house gas emissions. Buses will not help the disadvantaged population when <br />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 /> Once again broad generalizations which utilize language which obfuscate intent and meaning. <br />What dose ‘Rates highest for safety and access for people who walk and ride bikes“ mean? <br />People who walk will be responsible for paying for this? <br /> Not needed or welcome in Santa Clara river road area. <br /> NO More EMX after the wasteful mess of West Eugene EMX <br /> Let me guess: Wildish gets the contract, right? <br /> I've made clear my feelings about Emx. It has actually soured my opinion of Peter DeFazio as <br />well as our local representatives who, while trying to be progressive, step on the lives of their <br />constituency. <br /> EMX is a piece of shit <br />Harms driving <br /> Too Expensive, interrupts personal vehicle traffic <br /> The traffic in the North end of town is already extremely congested because of Beltline <br />interchanges. Most people in this end of town are not your bus riders. There are very few <br />people at the bus stops now. Look at how few people are riding the em-ex buses now. So to take <br />more driving lanes and congest things more makes no sense. <br /> EMX on Coburg road is insane unless no one uses automobiles (not likely). too many stops will <br />mess up traffic in an area where traffic entries and exits are already a significant hazard. Slowing <br />traffic is, to me, the same as gov't created traffic jams. Don't do it. We need to MOVE traffic, not <br />hinder it. Ferry St Bridge definitely needs another couple of lanes. That was a HUGE loss when <br />that didn't happen years ago. <br />Performance against criteria <br /> You should not run EMX on every corridor until you run experiments to see if more frequent <br />busses on a route increase ridership. <br /> Yikes that is an awful lot of trees. <br /> While this is the only package to (correctly) support EmX on Coburg Road, I cannot support EmX <br />on Amazon Parkway from a network perspective. This is a terrible idea, and it will result in <br />overcrowded buses when LCC gets out and empty buses otherwise. Amazon Parkway misses all <br />the key South Eugene destinations, requiring parallel service on Willamette and Hilyard that will <br />get spread too thin. The only reasonable EmX corridor in South Eugene is Hilyard to LCC. <br /> While I love the ease of EMX I am very concerned about the impact on business. It seems like <br />improvements to regular bus lines could be made with less business impact. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
