Support the people of Sherbrook Street against the bike lobby: Sign their online petition

YOU HAVE THE POWER - THIS CAN HAPPEN TO YOUR STREET TOO - TAKE ONE MINUTE AND SEND CITY HALL A MESSAGE -- STAND UP FOR THE PEOPLE AGAINST THE BIKE LOBBY !


Marty,

I'll give you the same schtick I've given every other media type I know.

The Ellice Cafe needs your help. My friend Harry (Lehotsky) was never afraid to make noise in the face of an injustice, (or stupidity), and as such, I'm going to try to do the same.

The Cafe (as many of your listeners already know through your radio show), is potentially going to loose most of, if not all of, its on street parking to provide for a new active transportation lane to be located on the east side of Sherbrook, 24/7/365.

The bike lobby presented a petition that included 65 names. We're hoping our petition will bury that number. Please help get the word out.

The petition is located at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sherbrookbikelane/ .


Your help is appreciated!

The Petition

Due to the immeasurable harm the current plan for complete closure of the east lane on Sherbrook, to accommodate a 24/7/365 bike lane, will have on both residents and businesses, we are in favour of revisiting the plan to include all concessions originally negotiated, including, but not limited to, the east lane being designated as a bike lane only during rush hour traffic. (7-9, 15:30-17:30) Please note your neighbourhood in the comment field.
