MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 95 <br />it gets, and proceed with what each area approves (such as River Road voters only vote for River <br />Road work, South Hills voters don't get a say). <br /> LTD needs to listen to the whole community. Not just the people who say what you want to <br />hear. EMX is intrusive in our community and a waste of taxpayer dollars. Of course, I'm sure you <br />won't listen to this input either, just as you ignored all of the businesses and concerned <br />individuals regarding the W. 11th, 6th, 7th project. <br /> The vernacular used throughout this questionnaire is deceiving and blatantly misleading. <br />Suggesting that no build zones are against public opinion and safety while insinuating all 5 EmX <br />corridors are supported by the general public, and that it is for the greater good, points to <br />biased positions this City's governing personnel have always taken. This kind of program that <br />goes hand-in-hand with those that have driven this city into a homeless haven and nightmare in <br />which to do business. Support for future projects rests in the hands of those who generate <br />revenue and pay their fair share in taxes. As you continue to interfere with peoples abilities to <br />generate income, you will encounter decreases in funding, increasing discontent, and rejection <br />of future investments (no matter how well-intended they be). <br /> I have said all I want to say. It is clear you don't really listen to the little guy.ever!!! <br /> This survey is not super well designed. I can't view the corridors in detail. I can't give specific <br />feedback. I can't say, The more parking spaces are removed, the better. Don't ask me which <br />corridors i use regularly, ask me how often i use each one (daily, weekly, monthly, few times a <br />year, never). And ask me which i use by bike, bus or car. Checking off which 5 factors of these <br />bunch are important feels silly. I think what matters to public wisdom is BALANCING THE <br />TRADEOFFS, and nothing in this survey is designed for citizens to wrestle with that. <br /> Less complex process for comments and feedback and more outreach with a less time <br />consuming explanation would involve more people. <br /> Basically think feedback process (even as extensive and complicated as this) is just a required <br />step and plan will go forward as public officials want and as long-term transportation planning <br />demands. <br />Walking <br /> I always ask for attention to sidewalks. Where are plans to upgrade sidewalks to the basic level <br />of safety? Even sidewalks to get to bus stops! <br />Planning <br /> I hope we can use existing ROW widths whenever possible to achieve the goals of installing EmX <br />lanes and bike lanes while also preserving mature trees and existing properties. I support <br />elimination of travel lanes or reduced-width travel lanes (which have multiple benefits, including <br />slowing traffic and making roadways safer for pedestrians to cross) to enable greater tree <br />preservation. Please be creative and flexible, and try to reduce overall pavement footprint. <br /> Highway 99 from the airport to the down town area is an an embarrassment to the long time <br />residents of Eugene and Springfield. This has been the first impression that residents as well as <br />visitors see when they arrive in town from other regions. What Springfield has done with <br />Gateway street is what Eugene needs to take as an example for the main RED CARPET from the <br />airport to the nearest .. When travelers are driving north or south past Springfield they want to <br />stop off in Springfield at Gateway and eat, drink, shop, rest or just visit. Why? Take a look. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
