MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 85 <br />Who Pays? <br /> Investment of this magnitude should be a system of systems that clearly benefit ALL taxpayers if <br />they are expected to pay for the improvements. No effort has been made in this campaign to <br />identify who will pay the bills and how that group will somehow benefit from the expenditure. <br /> Of course I want the best possible investment in our future and it looks like EmX offers the very <br />best in safety, accessibility, and redevelopment. What I don't understand is how any of the long- <br />term costs will be paid for. Please explain this to the economically clueless (people like me) so <br />that we can get the most community support for this necessary evolution. <br />Anything Else <br />“Do you have anything else you would like to tell us?” <br />Bus Service <br /> I would use the corridors, if they were easier to travel along. <br /> In it's current form, LTD is not close to offering a product that is competitive with cars, especially <br />once door-to door trip time is considered, <br /> I think LTD should focus on providing cost-effective transportation for low income residents. <br />Considering both, cost per trip and total time. I applaud the on demand test in Cottage Grove. <br />(I'm not asking for a smaller LTD budget, just that it be most effectively to serve the users. <br /> We NEED improvements to the THURSTON 11 ROUTE. Travel time is a huge issue, I think mainly <br />impacted most by how many people are on each bus--too many people, the bus drivers are late <br />because they have to hit every single stop and there is not enough seating--isn't this why we <br />built the emx near campus in the first place? <br /> BRING US THE EMX PLEASE, or something else that will help improve this. <br /> I am on W 11 th corridor but am unable to ride EMX due to inconvenience of start time. My <br />daughter is unable to get to high school due to inconvenience of service. <br /> Overall I like the plans and am excited to see which option is chosen. One thing I wish for though <br />is more focus on east-west traffic. There are many lines that go vertically into downtime using <br />the bus system but no lines that cut travel times in east-west traffic. One option that I would be <br />interested in would be a light rail system or bus lane system that runs along beltline that <br />connects highway 99, river road, coburg and gateway. <br /> Regular bus rider for work commute. Parent of person with a disability who will likely depend on <br />this system as an adult. Interested in a balance of good long term function investments and <br />fiscally responsible decisions. <br /> I cannot ride the bus or EMEX due to toxicity issues (materials off-gassing?). The buses make me <br />ill for days, something I cannot afford <br /> Connectivity into inttercity transit stations would be a nice improvement to the system overall <br /> My family is looking to buy our first home. We work downtown and rent nearby. Our reluctance <br />to travel any of these corridors is making it very hard to find a house that we like. I am looking <br />forward to these upgrades. Thanks for asking for my input! <br /> there were not enough details to each plan. I like the improvement to Coburg Rd and LCC and <br />River Road. I do lots of commuting by bicycle and bus. I ride the East Amazon Protected bike <br />lane 3 times per week. (I live at the end of East Amazon Pkwy.) It is a joy when I get on the path. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
