Morgantown and WVU are missing out on a potentially great tradition by not embracing the couch burning legacy. While they are right in not wanting students to have random couch fires in the streets, there is no reason the city can't create an area designated for city sanctioned couch burnings after major events. This petition is to show to the city to get them to consider the option.

The city officials continue to ignore our emails but I am still drafting the proposal for a designated site. It is exhausting to keep fighting for something that seems so simple to me. I keep reading your comments because they remind me why this matters.

Reaching this point has been a long grind and honestly I am exhausted by the pushback we keep facing. Seeing this many people agree that we deserve a sanctioned space makes the battle feel worth the effort. We are not turning back now.

Waste of time. People are just gonna do what they want anyway so might as well make it legal.

Finally someone said it. It is way safer to have a fire pit set up than kids just dragging old sofas into the middle of the road. Let us have some fun.

I mean honestly why not. It is just furniture. Nobody is getting hurt if it is done in a controlled area.

This would actually keep the streets cleaner. The city needs to stop being so uptight and let us have a designated spot for the festivities.
