MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 74 <br />from River rd. to the south every morning and there are huge opportunities to improve our road <br />ways. This is an opportunity to improve safety, and create a more green resilient community. <br /> I believe Emx on all major corridors is the best approach going in to the future <br /> high focus on pedestrian/bicycle safety, but of course at higher operating costs <br /> Great benefits, but expensive!! Like improvements for walkers and bicyclists too. <br /> Go big or go home. Increased EMX service (both in terms of ground covered between areas of <br />Eugene, and frequency) is one major key to making Eugene as green as possible and reducing <br />vehicle trips across the river into downtown and south Eugene, and vice versa. <br /> gets the most people on public transit, by a huge margin. good for bikers and walkers <br /> Expensive, but likely necessary for the future of the area and we might as well get on that now <br />before it gets much worse. <br /> Excellent improvements in ridership and bike/ped safety. Creates a network of EMX <br />transportation community wide. Supports development along the EMX corridor. <br /> Eugene will succeed with courageous investment and pushing ourselves ahead as innovators <br />and transformative laborers. <br /> Eugene should set itself apart as the best small city in the country for public transit, and act as a <br />guidepost for other cities to do the same. Investment in our infrastructure is an investment in <br />our community's future health and prosperity. <br /> Eugene is growing and these main arteries have become very congested and, at rush hour times, <br />dangerous to travel. They all need to be redesigned for maximum safety and efficiency. <br /> emx is the best option for optimizing bus travel throughout the area, anything else does not <br />make use of the best features offered through the emx. <br /> Does very well on most of the starred criteria, except for annual cost. <br /> Do this one. This one. This one. Please do this one. We need the bike/ped safety improvements, <br />we need the high ridership. It's a climate change issue, it's a step towards putting denser <br />housing along the awesome transit corridors. This is the future that the Eugene/Springfield area <br />needs. I also support that this package removes the most parking spaces, that's a GOOD thing. <br /> Cost is very high. By far the largest ridership increase which is good. EmX to LCC is beneficial for <br />students, especially dual enrollers, but not much else. EmX on Coburg is iffy without expanding a <br />third lane for EmX. Maybe drop coburg but keep 99 and LCC? <br /> Can our community afford this package? The increased ridership would be great. <br /> Build out EmX system except the 30th corridor. 30th is remote, doesn't serve lands between <br />Cities and LCC. Inefficient use of funds, drivers. Would only serve the real estate developers who <br />want to urbanize LCC basin? <br /> Bike/Ped good. 30th EMX good. Cost a concern <br /> Best option <br /> Best bike/walk enhancements but not sure the $$ will be approved <br /> Best bike infrastructure. <br /> Although expensive and a big commitment, the Emx corridor package seems like the best for the <br />future growth of Eugene and creating cleaner, safer transportation, especially for users of public <br />transit, pedestrians, and cyclists. <br /> Again, the more investment in public transit the better. Time to get the US out of the 1950s. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
