MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 81 <br />to know that EMX is worth the large investment and disruption to buy into that. THANK YOU <br />very much for opp to provide input and thanks for listening! <br /> If any Emx routes are approved, then all other buses need to be removed from that route. I <br />don't see any real benefit from any of these packages. They're all to expensive for what they <br />would provide. <br /> Impacts and costs <br /> hopefully you can do the EMX on a large scale and hopefully the federal government will pay for <br />a large part of it. <br /> It costs less to increase service incrementally. For example, it costs the same to improve 36 <br />miles of line as to put in 8 miles of EMX and as to put in 4 miles of trolley and as much to put in 2 <br />miles of subway. You really need to come up with a 50 year vision of the transportation system <br />and build slowly toward that vision. Rather than continue to come up with a series of system <br />tweaks, year after year. <br /> EmX does not have the support of the public. The cost benefit analysis just does not pencil. <br />Driving <br /> We need to start developing environmentally friendly and healthy alternatives to everyone <br />having a single car i’m driving everywhere <br /> Our future plans don’t need to revolve around cars. It is not a sustainable way to live. We need <br />to think about tomorrow, not just live for today. <br /> Reduce dependency on personal motor vehicles, build efficient citywide mass transit and safe <br />cycling corridors. <br /> Coburg is the most congested and there doesn't appear to be any plan to improve throughput. <br />At least we can add EmX and hope for some relief. <br /> What are you going to do about improving auto travel times and congestion. <br /> I fully support investment, even with large capital and ongoing costs, that removes more and <br />more single occupancy vehicles from our streets. This is especially true in corridors like Coburg <br />and River where there are miles of single occupancy housing. <br /> The best use of this money to help the environment and save travel time would be to expand <br />the Beltline bridge over the river to 3 lanes in each direction. This is the greatest traffic problem <br />in all of Eugene. <br /> Streets are for cars. Stop screwing up streets for cars. <br /> All these options are bullshit, screw those that drive, and spend my money on those who give <br />nothing! This is socialism at its best. <br /> Focus on moving cars quickly and making crossings safe. <br />Environment <br /> I do see anything on this list that evaluates the reduction of pollution with the increase of bus <br />ridership, & improved bike lanes, improved walking lanes. <br /> I strongly support EmX on River Road, as well as narrowed lanes (to reduce traffic speed) and <br />dedicated bike lanes. I also support EmX on other corridors, as many as possible. I am concerned <br />about the loss of trees, and trust/hope that this can be mitigated through design decisions.and <br />new large canopy native trees planted wherever possible. Transitions to new systems are always <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
