MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 67 <br /> While an increase in EmX busses would be great, people tend to dislike the added lanes and <br />property changes. I for one don't mind, but I don't want to go through another couple years of <br />anti-EmX signs and posters everywhere, especially in my neighborhood. <br /> This would have a huge impact on trees, which is not acceptable. <br /> This would be incredible but where would we get the funds? And how many lanes of traffic <br />would we lose. <br /> This would only facilitate transportation for a few because I think many people would still not <br />change their driving ways so we would need to keep the same amount of traffic lanes in <br />addition to the bus lane. <br /> This option feels like overkill for this time period. I do agree with EMX on River Road and 99, but <br />not as much for the other routes at this time. <br /> This is so unnecessary and over the top. We absolutely do not need 3 more emx lines in such a <br />small amount of space. HUGE impact on parking, trees, acreage, INSANELY expensive--worried <br />that fare costs would go up a ton if this plan was enacted. Side note, if you're going to just start <br />throwing emx's around, put one on route 11 THURSTON already!! those buses are CONSTANTLY <br />OVERPACKED, LATE, and covers THE ENTIRETY OF MAIN STREET IN SPRINGFIELD with a HUGE <br />impact on business and low income people for the better, not to mention how many schools fall <br />along that route with students using LTD in and out of school hours! I am offended that this is <br />still not being resolved! <br /> There is a lack of detail in the options. Hard for me to know how this really impacts me as the <br />individual. My biggest concern is 30th ave as I live on the hill so I am not sure I want it messed <br />with until I get more details as to how it would really play out. <br /> The capital and operating layouts seem high, and the projected ridership increase feels like <br />wishful thinking (which, given Tri-Met's history of overestimating such things in Portland—and <br />their resultant profit-yield—I would assume IS wishful thinking). <br /> Ridership on 99 and 30th does not dictate need for these kind of investments. EmX on Coburg <br />appears to be politically unfeasible. <br /> REALLY don't like tree removal <br /> Past business opposition <br /> No need for this much money to be spent on EMX. I don't see ridership increasing enough to <br />offset years of construction mess all over town as well as high operating costs. <br /> More EMX routes are nice, I guess, but what we need is better bike and ped facilities and more <br />frequent buses. It's also very expensive, so I wonder if it's feasible. <br /> It's way off the charts for cost and its a total overkill for the community. Why even consider this <br />option? The disruption along the corridors is mind blowing. <br /> I'm not convinced the ridership would increase as much as projected. I don't want to pay for a <br />huge tax bond just to support a bus line to LLC, which is what this looks like to me. <br /> I'm concerned about how much farther I'd have to walk between emx stops compared to bus <br />stops on Coburg Road. I ride Coburg Road buses to work and love the current route and timing <br />exactly as is. <br /> I live in the Hwty 99 area. I feel that the EmX expansion on 11th Avenue decreased the usabilityu <br />of the bus service to the area where I live. I would like to see much better bus service in Bethel. <br /> I like this plan, however a different package seems to be more efficient in a few areas. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
