How about you get answers to
How about you get answers to the following for us at the meeting:
1) Cost of most efficient bus line compared to MAX (as promised to you, by Trimet) at the last CRC meeting.
2) Safety data for extend curbs (as promised by PDOT at your Burnside couplet town hall.)
3) Cost of streetcar per passenger-mile. Or average trip length or average # passengers on vehicle. (any of these will give passenger-miles) (as promised constantly)
4) Net lives save by speed bumps considering that they also slow emergency vehicles. PDOT certainly has studies on this since they promote speed bumps as a safety measure. Be sure to ask them about Les Bunte’s work at Texas A&M.
I am sure that you can see how each of these answers is important to making budgeting decisions as we certainly wouldn’t want to fund unsafe or uneconomical line items.
Thanks
