MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 68 <br /> I feel it is to soon to implement this option for the community. It seems a bit on the extreme and <br />excessive side given the impact on the financial projection of the high operating cost and the <br />capital needed for this project. The forecast ridership is a substantial increase but I dont feel it <br />would be justified given the tremendous cost. It would be overkill... <br /> I don't want the EmX on River Road. <br /> I am concerned about the cost, impact to trees, and increased property acquisition with this <br />one, especially since there is a minimal transit time improvement over the other packages. <br /> enormous cost. Minimal improved service. No wheel routes to go with the spokes <br /> EmX has ruined Franklin and West 11th. Please stop them now. As a bus rider, the time savings <br />is not worth the damage to businesses anbd ease of access. Have to walk further with Emx <br />because roads are widenend. River Rd DOES NOT have room to accomodate this. Please clear <br />homeless camps off the bike paths to reduce car traffic on roads <br /> EmX builds are killing what's left of small businesses in this city. And its under utilized. <br /> Cost and time to implement. Impact on trees and businesses. <br /> Concerns about the projections in ridership and the financial projections <br /> Citizens w or w/o cars need access to Oakway/Coburg Rd area. <br /> Businesses and owners of residential and commercial property shouldn't have to have their <br />property and every day operations impacted in order to fulfill the City's failed EmX dreams. This <br />is an awful system and will do nothing for those who's dollars are going towards the funding of <br />this project. <br /> Because i supported enhanced option not emx option. <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 /> 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 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 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 />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
