MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 70 <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 />Support <br /> Yes! Please invest. <br /> While this EmX plan requires the highest level of investment I feel the money would be well <br />spent as our region grows and becomes increasingly gridlockes. I've been pleased with the EmX <br />lines LTD has built so far and would like to see more lines in the future. <br /> We must invest heavily in alternatives so that we reduce the barriers to use. The more options <br />and easier it is to use alternatives--biking, walking, busing, etc--the more likely the day to day <br />citizen will begin use. Further, it's a long term investment. The more cars we get off the roads, <br />the longer the roads last, the cleaner the air we breath, etc. I'm fully in favor of significant <br />investment. <br /> Very consistent with local plans! Not sure how easily adapted the other plans would be to this <br />(in the future) if this isn't the option we go for, but I think this should be the end game <br /> Trees should be preserved along with their rooting soil wherever possible, and road design <br />should be more flexible to accomodate this. Generally past EmX projects have improved <br />pedestrian and bicyclist safety but much more could be done. <br /> Transit is important and getting places fast with more consistent times makes transit an option <br />to consider for most people who commute <br /> This town isn't ready for all EmX although ultimately I think it will be necessary and very useful <br />to the community (10 - 20 years from now). <br /> This provides the greatest and most equitable community benefit. The capital cost is such that <br />this community could support the build out with bonds to whatever extent beyond what the <br />FTA and state are willing to fund. This could allow for build out of multiple EmX corridors in <br />parallel. <br /> This project for within our community values and provides a cost effective alternative to <br />expensive airport runs. <br /> THIS PACKAGE IS THE BEST ANSWER TO IMPROVING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FOR ALL THE <br />AREAS CITIZENS <br /> This is really the best plan to implement. It's better to do it all at once than have this same <br />discussion every couple of years making it necessary to go through this public comment process <br />again and again. One MAJOR component that must be addressed though, if this is the selected <br />plan, is to eliminate each of these EmX vehicle's need to go to the downtown station. The RR <br />EmX should run from Beacon Dr. to 13th Ave. and back - all day long. Just have stops that allow <br />a passenger to catch another bus to their final destination or to downtown. There is just not <br />enough room downtown for more big buses. <br /> This is necessary for the future of our transit environment. Doing it later will only make it harder <br />and more expensive. <br /> This is my second favorite package because of the ridership numbers and because the <br />community burden is equally distributed? <br /> This is my favorite option. The day the west Eugene EmX started running my life got noticeably <br />easier, and I could like that level of convenience extended far and wide in this community. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
