Of course Gary Wildish (LTD board president) would support any transit project that would enrich his family owned business, Wildish Sand & Gravel.  Mr. Wildish is wrong when he boosted, "The EmX is like light rail on rubber and ...designed to travel on alignments separate from passenger vehicle lanes."

The West Eugene EmX segment will travel in with traffic for nearly the entire route.  The WEE will not deduce travel times, will increase traffic congestion for everybody, and add an extra operating cost of over $1.2 million per year.  Effectively, it will replicated our current traditional service, but will increase congestion and operating cost.  Net results: its a Boondoggle.
