MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 73 <br />think EmX lines take long enough and can get disruptive enough during construction that I'd <br />rather put this off. I feel like the predominantly Enhanced Corridor package could much less <br />disruptively preempt a bunch of the pain of an EmX construction plan (essentially, while <br />enhancing the corridor, identify points that would clearly be sore spots for an EmX line and <br />mitigate those problems as part of the enhancement, in anticipation of an EmX line further off in <br />the future) and essentially bring us to a point where this would be a much more realistic <br />proposal. I also imagine that having enhanced corridors around for a year or two would give an <br />opportunity to see just how much ridership is along each of these routes when bus frequency <br />improves to better prioritize which ones would actually need an EmX immediately vs which ones <br />are just likely to grow into needing it. <br /> I think it is time for this option in conjunction with non-fossil fuel transport. The only <br />enhancements would be to increase how often transportatiin is available. Ideally every 10-15 <br />minutes. <br /> I think having a plan for increasing rates of safety, and decreasing times is very important to <br />public transit. While I believe priority should be given to communities that use transit the most, <br />a comprehensive plan to connect all communities is important if a city like Eugene is going to <br />continue to support our environment and the growing population. <br /> I ride the EMX starting at Franklin and Walnut. The extension out W 11th has been a great <br />benefit to me. I shop on River road and EMX would be great. <br /> One Very Important Factor i love about EMX is that it runs late. I am a night owl, this matters a <br />lot to me to be able to get home at 11 or Midnight. Later would be even better. <br /> I ride the emx all the time <br /> I rated this highly because it addresses the transportation needs of our cities - especially when <br />looked at with an eye towards climate change. Prioritizing transit and bike/ped facilities is <br />imperative - making them safe and accessible is mandatory. I still don't think this is ideal since <br />we should be modeling off of what has been done in countries that have prioritized transit and <br />cycling/walking, however it is at least a step in that direction - and the most aggressive step that <br />has been offered in this package. <br /> I love the EmX. You can't build enough of it! I'd like to see it everywhere, along with walkable <br />sidewalks and barrier bike lanes. If I could dedicate all transportation funding to these things <br />and none to cars, that would be best. Yes, I own and drive a car. I believe in the carrot and stick <br />approach. You make car travel inconvenient, and alternatives convenient. <br /> I love it <br /> I live along the coburg corridor. I will vote for any package that maximizes bike/ped access and <br />safety which is why I support the emx package. I like that it offers the greatest increase in <br />ridership as well. Wish it wasn't so expensive on operating costs and its not perfect but I think it <br />is the best. Happy with how emx functions currently. <br /> I like this one the best. It looks like it meets the long-term growth estimates and goals. I don't <br />care about parking (the city shouldn't focus on car transportation), and businesses will always be <br />impacted. The tree removal makes me sad. Do that many trees need to be removed, and if so, <br />will they be replaced? I would love to see EmX expanded, especially on Coburg. <br /> I believe this is the ideal package that will catch up to the growth of our communities. especially <br />the river rd area and the south hills . Its i likely will not come soon enough. I make the commute <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
