The Petition

The City of St. John's Cycling Plan needs your help.

According to the Cycling Plan, some of the streets scheduled to have bike lanes painted on them would lose on-street parking on one or both sides. Though they have driveways, the residents of those streets are quite unhappy.

A 300-name petition against the bike lanes scheduled for Frecker Drive was tabled at the July 13th city council meeting. City officials are concerned that this could put a stop to or delay the implementation of the Cycling Plan. To counter this, MUN BikeShare and The Scope newspaper have set up this petition in support of the Cycling Plan. The City's Parks and Rec Committee is meeting this Friday afternoon to make some decisions about the Cycling Plan, so we're hoping to get as many signatures as possible by then.

Please see the petition blog and the links listed to the right for more information. A map of the streets that will have their parking affected has been posted to http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stjohnscyclingplan/blog/2530 .

This petition is pretty straightforward - we want to demonstrate that there is a significant amount of support for the Cycling Plan. If you'd like to sign it, please be sure to include your real name and address. Thanks so much.

We, the undersigned, support the City of St. John's Cycling Plan.
