Let's not be a community that throws each other under the bike / bus block by block because we don't want protected bike lines on "our" block either. Wood street residents may not want a "one way" bike lane or even a bike lane. Their home, they decide. Same goes for Wolcott. Let's support both Wood & Wolcott and the whole 1st Ward.

Please Share/Forward this petition by any means possible, Community Sites/ groups, blogs, emails, word of mouth, text, meetings, even this flyer.

If Chicago Avenue loses parking, people who park there overnight will be forced to park on interior streets day and night.
