Hello Everyone ! I would like to gain some opinions on the new FX line pertaining to my comments. I live near S.E. Division and I see many issues with the new FX line as it stands. Here they are in no particular order:
Current ridership does not dictate longer buses, or fancier ones. They should of just left the existing ones alone and the current bus stops. They could of just retro-fitted the current buses with the ability to change the lights as they go through.
The new bus stops have glass, which will be broken , spray painted and carved on. Why did they do that ?
Trash can's ? why ? homeless will go through them, they will be full of trash and will be very unsanitary ! light on fire etc, why would they place trash cans ? Trash can's attract "flies".
safety , each new stop will have homeless people flocking to them, what kind of safety protocols are in place to clean up the new stops?
will they place more security officers in the new buses? their are quite a few criminals going from outer Gresham into downtown to sell drugs etc, how is trimet going to prevent their FX lines from being a cheap ride to do shady business ?
how is the new line going to circumvent the train stopping traffic all ways around 11/12 and se division when it is parked there for over 50 minutes.
I feel the FX line was a bad idea and a windfall for the contractors only. What they should of done is offered more pay for the existing line drivers, increased security , changed the traffic lights with outfitting the existing buses, maybe added two or three new buses if they are concerned with the frequency.
Everyone will see this will be a total waste of millions of dollars, increased issues with too many buses flowing down little narrow division which is a neighborhood shopping street. They should have gone down Powell and cut in or another route !
