MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 96 <br />Where is that from the air port??? We have no hotels motels food entertainment on HWY 99 <br />that is a destination like Gateway or even Oakway . This has needed to be addressed for 40 <br />YEARS. My question is when ? Why should travelers travel another 30 minutes from the airport <br />to get to a hotel, restaurants and shopping. Space is available near the airport and on hwy 99 to <br />provide these accommodations. Don't you agree? <br /> Consider decreases in ridership over time. Review ridership numbers from downtown <br />Springfield to RiverBend. That is an indicator of what's ahead for ridership. Don't burden local <br />business owners with ever increasing payroll taxes. Vehicle ownership and usage is not a dirty <br />word in this community. Ride sharing usage will increase by leaps and bounds in the next few <br />decades. <br /> Preserve and increase room for trees and other vegetation, and remove and diminish paved <br />surfaces wherever possible. Fund local nonprofit tree groups to plant more trees not just along <br />these corridors but in the few blocks adjoining them where large canopy trees can be planted. <br /> Stop pushing EmX. Subscription transport is going to eat your lunch in five years. <br /> EC physical improvements should be made in a way that would not require reconstruction <br />if/when the route is upgraded to BRT. <br /> Full EmX, just go as fast as we can fund. Need good sidewalks/bike facilities on all! <br /> I believe we can expect many more than 34,000 in our community. Parking lots are filled daily <br />with out of state licenses and climate disasters are forcing many to move from other parts of the <br />country. <br /> Ten years is too long to wait! <br /> Due to the lack of large retailers in the south end of town we generate a lot of traffic going out <br />west 11th, Hwy 99, River Road, and north to Coburg Road for supplies and shopping. We need a <br />Fred Meyer, a Winco, a Jerry's, and like stores in the area of the 30th Ave/LCC corridor. This <br />would greatly reduce traffic on west 11th, Coburg Rd, Chambers, Willamette/Oak Streets, and <br />local trips on I-5. <br /> <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
