<br />May 2019 Investment Package Alternatives MovingAhead <br />10 Supplemental Refinement Report <br /> <br />Table 2.4 Package C Summary of Community Concerns and Support <br />Concerns Support <br />• Capital cost per trip is too high <br />• Need more increase in ridership, reduce travel time, <br />improve safety for bicyclist and pedestrians <br />• Not enough investment to help community / <br />growing community <br />• Need to stop building mass transit projects <br />• Doesn’t encourage using alternative forms of <br />transportation <br />• High cost for low benefits <br />• Doesn’t help cars <br />• Increase in cost, decrease in ridership <br />• Every route is useful, and the route from 30th to LCC <br />would be very much appreciated <br />• More equitable transit access throughout the <br />community <br />• Getting closer to being consistent with local goals <br />• Bold, progressive, proactive approach <br />• Good balance overall in terms of the enhanced <br />corridors <br />• Easier to implement and maintain (and pay for) <br />• Systemwide Annual Ridership Increase, New <br />Bike/Ped Access and Safety Improvements <br />• The most balanced option <br />• Balancing capital investment against operating cost <br />increases, this seems the best fit <br /> <br />Table 2.5 EmX Package Summary of Community Concerns and Support <br />Concerns Support <br />• Capital cost per trip is too high <br />• Need to stop building mass transit projects <br />• High cost <br />• Unclear where the money would come to pay for it <br />• Doesn’t help cars <br />• Business impact <br />• Too far between stops <br />• Impact to trees <br />• Seems like overkill <br />• Impact to parking <br />• Best preparation for the future <br />• Expensive but necessary <br />• Best bike/walk enhancements <br />• Best in improvements to bike/walk safety, ridership <br />and access <br />• Will really make a difference in quality of life and <br />economy <br />• The ridership increase is impressive <br />• Very consistent with local plans <br />• Comprehensive, rapid, and connects well with <br />popular routes and high investment areas <br />• Would run at late hours <br /> <br />General Feedback <br />• Transit just doesn't make sense at this scale. Disband and give the money to the riders. <br />• LTD is not close to offering a product that is competitive with cars, especially once door-to door <br />trip time is considered. <br />• Every plan looks like gridlock and it saddens me. <br />• Please think long and hard about the plants, animals, families and businesses this will negatively <br />impact. <br />• More focus on east-west traffic. <br />• Have an elected transit board. No support without one. <br />• EMX is intrusive in our community and a waste of taxpayer dollars. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
