Save Calistoga's Scenic Entry Corridor: Part TwoThe "Loop" gas station/ convenience store is re-applying with Calistoga to take over the corner of Petrified Forest and Foothill, across the street from the Arco station that is already problematic to people who live in this neighborhood. Our primary concerns are still the same: (1) "Traffic Nightmare." Traffic would increase by an estimated 1,228 cars per day. Anyone who lives in Calistoga knows how backed up this four-way stop gets daily; this increase would greatly worsen that situation. (2) "Commuter Corridor" vs "Scenic Entry to Calistoga." The Loop station would emphasize Calistoga as a quick stopping place for commuters between Lake County and Santa Rosa/ Napa. For visitors and residents, the entry to our historic town would be formulaic and utilitarian, with no respect for the surrounding countryside. (3) "Environmental Impact." Cyrus Creek is an important tributary to the Napa River; runoff from such a huge project with spilled gas and car wash chemicals would be unavoidable. (4) "Quality of Life Impact." The Arco station at that corner already draws a negative influence, including people sleeping in vehicles, drinking/ doing drugs in the parking lot, and dumping trash into Cyrus Creek. A larger gas station would draw a transient crowd looking for a place to sleep overnight in their cars and do drug deals. At the last Commission meeting, the owners of the Loop said they would provide a "400 pound security robot" to monitor the parking lot; the very fact that they need to provide such a thing is a sign that they know there will be problems. Help us slow down the increasingly frantic pace of development in our small town and reconsider what we want our entrances to convey! Sign our petition to let the Planning Commission know that neighbors object, then show up for the meetings (to be announced via email as that information becomes available.) Please pass this petition on to your friends and neighbors.159 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jen Bennett

Parents & Community Against Proposed Gosnold Acute Dual Diagnosis Facility Within 100 Feet of a P...Concerned because we are unable to find an example of a similar facility being implemented successfully anywhere in the country next to a school. We are concerned over the safety, health, and welfare of our children and the elderly, our most vulnerable populations being directly next door. We have found some rehab facilities near private schools and daycares that have had documented issues, however, none of these facilities is of the same type and caliber of the one being proposed.738 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Amy Leonardi

Investigate, regulate, and monitor child protective servicesI'm reaching out to all patents that have been affected by child protective services as well as those who have not. This agency here in Alaska is stealing our babies based on hearsay, lies, and or faulty questionable "proofs", without legitimate cause and lack of compassion. They blatantly disregard your civil and constitutional rights. They do not adhere to their own policies. They also use outside agencies to conduct "services" on their behalf supposedly due to lack of funding, which violates more civil and constitutional rights. Our children are being neglected and sexually assaulted, and they purposefully ignore or attempt to cover it up. The police, as well as the public defenders, are also included in their treachery! Conducting drug tests through agencies that have been convicted of fraudulently manipulating results to convict parents of neglect; alienating families rather than re-unifying them; damaging families mentally and emotionally repeatedly; racially biased and culturally incompetent employees; stripping you of all parental rights without you even signing them away. Signing this petition is the just thing to do. There needs to be an agency to oversee this section of the government. Did you know that if your child has been harmed while in states care, you are forced to call the same agency to come and investigate the allegations? Would you ask the cookie monster to investigate who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? No other establishment or agency should be able to hold the power that CPS does. Please stand with me in this battle to protect those we cherish most.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alisha NShinn

"Senior Safety @ The Curve"We are a large mobile home senior community without safe and easy access in and out on Route 9. The curve in the highway makes it very hard to safely exit either north or south. A traffic light would be a Godsend. Safely getting out prevents close calls for everyone. Make Garden Lake Community a "safety zone" for all.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by JOHN GRIECO

BasketBall Court at Marshbank Park!To bring those who love to play basketball but don’t have a place to play to a place where they can form great friendships and connections they never thought they could, and to shine a light on an issue that is talked about but never acted upon; the fact of how more and more younger people are choosing video games and smartphones over going outside and exercising and having fun with friends to avoid human interaction. Exercise is a reason for academic success also, and it’s fading away in today’s youth. Something as small as a basketball court can change that.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brandon Edwards

Build an overpass at the Route 50/Route 98 intersectionIn recent events, a father and daughter both lost their lives at the same intersection many others have. The amount of accidents at this intersection tells me the answer isn’t in the changes that have been made in the past. Stop lights have been put up. Flashing lights warning drivers of the stop lights have been put up. Still lives are lost. Families are destroyed. With an overpass built, this will eliminate the lights. Eliminate vehicles crossing multiple lanes in order to get to their destination.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Angie McCormick

Paving Bay Village LaneWe homeowners of Bay Village Lane in Moncks Corner, SC have a maintenance agreement in place. However, we have two parcels on the left and right of the entrance to Bay Village Lane that access our road. These two parcels to the right and left of our entrance cause damage to our road and don't help with maintenance. We feel that if we have our road paved and switched to a public road, this will cause less frustration for homeowners.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Megan

Greenway Pedestrian Bridge Over Western AvenueFranklin Brown (14) on May 24, 2013, attempted to cross Western Avenue and was struck and killed by a large moving van. Our community would love to see the new Greenway Pedestrian Bridge over Western Avenue memorialized in Franklin’s name in the hopes of persuading other children and adults to take the extra time to use the overpass safely and not try to beat traffic crossing the 5-lane road.150 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Samantha Ann Brown
