MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 69 <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 /> 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 /> 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.
