<br />MovingAhead Investment Package Alternatives May 2019 <br /> Supplemental Refinement Report 11 <br />• Use existing ROW widths whenever possible to achieve the goals of installing EmX lanes and <br />bike lanes while also preserving mature trees and existing properties. <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. <br />• More frequent buses are more important that faster driving time for the buses. <br />• Stop pushing EmX.

The <br />criteria used to evaluate the investment packages are listed in Table 2.6. <br /> <br />Table 2.6 Investment Package Evaluation Criteria <br />Investment Package Evaluation Criteria <br />Capital Cost <br />Systemwide Annual Operating Cost (Change from No-Build) <br />Transit Travel Time Improvement <br />Systemwide Annual Ridership Increase (Compared to No-Build) <br />New Bicycle/Pedestrian Access & Safety Investments <br />Support Development & Redevelopment <br />Number of Medium and Large Trees Impacted <br />Number/Acreage of Acquisitions <br />Potential Business Relocations <br />Parking Impacts: On-Street / Off-Street <br />Percent of Investment in Corridors with Higher Level of Disadvantaged Population <br />Support from the Public <br />Consistency with Local Plans and Policies <br /> <br />2.1.2.1 Proposed Investment Packages Most Important Criteria <br />Participants were asked to choose five criteria (from among 13) that they found most important in <br />evaluating proposed packages. <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
