Broadway, Suite 400 <br />Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br />(541) 682-5471 <br />(541) 682-5598 FAX <br /> <br />City of Eugene Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />February 10, 2011 <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Kurt Corey, City of Eugene Public Works Director <br /> <br />The City of Eugene's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee are in support of the West Eugene <br />EmX Extension (WEEE). The WEEE is very important to the LTD’s Bus Rapid Transit system and to <br />creating a better city for walking and biking. Transit is essential for a walkable community and to the <br />reduction of vehicle miles driven. There are real benefits for all of Eugene. <br /> <br />We feel LTD has worked hard to mitigate most of the impacts to business and residential access. The <br />thth <br />W13 – W 11 EMX Option goes a long way to encourage walking, biking, and other transportation <br />alternatives to the single-occupancy automobile. <br /> <br />We oppose the No Build Option and do not think it takes into account the long term needs of our <br />community and should no longer be recognized as a viable option. <br /> <br />We think an extended BRT would encourage an increased ridership that will ensure the system will <br />become self-supporting over time. Making Eugene a great city for walking needs to include a great <br />public transportation system. We believe that includes EMX in West Eugene. <br /> <br />Signed, <br /> <br />Tom Schneider <br />Shane MacRhodes <br />Holly McRae <br />Ted Sweeney <br />Harriet Behm <br />Jennifer Smith <br />Rex Redmon <br />David Gizara <br />Rex Fox <br />Sue Harshbarger <br /> \\Cesrv500\cc support\CMO\2011 Council Agendas\M110223\S110223Aand attA.doc <br />
