Hey all, I not often submit favors within the DAR, if ever. So if I’m asking you could be assured it’s necessary.
That is an Austin Hearth Truck on my road. The lengthy and in need of it’s that the town put in an 8 ft. large momentary bike lane in entrance of my home… 4 years in the past. You may see it on this photograph in entrance of the hearth truck that’s caught in entrance of my driveway.
Apart from the truth that nearly not one of the bikers ever use the lane, the necessary a part of this story is it bottlenecked my road, making it almost unattainable for visitors to soundly navigate. However that’s not why I’m scripting this. I’m scripting this as a result of I reside throughout the road from an elementary college (kinda’ humorous I do know).
Lengthy story quick, the true hazard is that emergency automobiles can’t entry the college simply if one thing had been to go mistaken, as evidenced right here. And issues have been going every kind of mistaken since this nonsense was put in. (Learn the story right here).
Lastly final week, an ATD survey concluded that this has been a failed pilot program, and responded closely in our favor as a result of the answer is and has all the time been, a no brainer. There’s a sidewalk throughout the road that may be widened for secure passage for all!
Anyway, simply when this was getting closure and calmer heads prevailed, the cyclists began their very own Change.org petition so they might proceed to personal the street on our once-tranquil road. They’re flaunting their 1,000 signatures as proof that – little one security and customary sense be damned – they need to have it their approach.
The scenario on our road has been deteriorating for some time, as a lot of you who attend events at my home have seen and commented on. So, we created our personal change.org petition to spotlight what’s really occurring right here.
All I ask is that you just signal the petition and assist make my road secure for the younger kids who use it each single day. I believe it’s a noble ask. I very a lot respect it, Chivers. It takes all of 10 seconds to signal it and it’s an necessary trigger you’re collaborating in. The college and all of the residents totally assist this measure.
Signal and hold the children secure proper right here!
