For over 10 years, the Temescal Telegraph Business Improvement District (TTBID) has been trying to get the City of Oakland to repave Telegraph Ave. between 45th and 51st Streets. The City itself has ranked this street as one of the worst streets in the city (ranked as Poor/Failing at <30, when 100 is the top score). Now, this stretch of Telegraph Ave is barely passable, with pedestrians and bicyclists hurt frequently and causing costly repairs to vehicles. The hazardous state of the road is a threat to the safety of the Oakland community. Telegraph Ave between 45th Street and 51st St., one of Oakland’s major thoroughfares, is in the heart of a bustling commercial district. The crumbling street has over 25,000 cars per day, 4 freeway on and off ramps, thousands of bicyclists and pedestrians and a major AC Transit bus line. The State just increased gas taxes to increase funding for things like street repair, and a year ago Oakland’s voters approved a $600 million bond issue for the same purpose. It is simply inexcusable that this key part of a major thoroughfare is left to crumble year after year after year. It’s time to pave this section of Telegraph now.

the loss of this road will couse harm to the people in this area by extra travel time for emergency services and other services for the people in this area.

I am concerned about the city’s plan to move forward with reconstruction of the Wayzata Blvd. and Superior Ave. intersection to direct business traffic down Wayzata Blvd to Broadway rather than down Superior Ave. to the new commercial district. If you are signing in support of this petition and live outside of Wayzata please indicate in the comment your concern with the project and any specific connection you have with Wayzata.

Here at Say No to Sterling Relief Drain Conversion, we are driven by a single goal; to make ourselves heard. We do not want to convert the Sterling Relief Drain Corridor from Dequindre to Freedom Hill into a 'drain trail' that is touted by Macomb County. We feel the trails are redundant and the 8 million should be spent for other infrastructure, specifically our roads.

50 years ago, spurred to action by the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Congress passed the Fair Housing Act and gave the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the responsibility of enforcing anti-discrimination and segregation in housing. Now, Secretary Carson is following up his actions to undermine fair housing by trying to change HUD's mission to remove language that states their commitment to ending discrimination and for creating affordable housing for all. Secretary Carson works for us, the People, and HUD's mission is his job description. Sign on now to tell Secretary Carson that we aren't going to go along with him moving the goal posts on his duties. The millions of people who rely on HUD and the tens of millions more who qualify for assistance need him to do the job he was hired to do!

Policymakers should take steps to improve students' access to existing federal programs, including expanding the SNAP eligibility requirements for college students. Almost as bad as the hunger itself is the stress that you're going to be hungry. Not being able to eat correctly makes it a struggle. Many students report that It is hard to study and focus after carrying a full load and working.

Road Conditions

A family member was fondled and held against her will until she was able to get away by biting and elbowing the predator. This happened on the corner of Wilmington Avenue and Gage Avenue, which is clearly infested with unregistered and unpermitted RV's, recreational, and regular vehicles that are being used to live in. All these unpermitted vehicles are also parked feet away from an elementary school, where a person living in one of these recreational vehicles jumped the school gate and entered school grounds. Please help us keep our city safe.

Our community pool is within 600 feet of the tower, which is at the beginning of our development and where everyone gets a first impression when visiting, but more importantly when looking to purchase a home in our community. My home is very close to the tower site, which means I will see it every day when I go out the front door. I am concerned about the waves the tower puts off which can have health implications for my family. Health of my family, eyesore every day for me and my community, and decreased home values are why I am staring this petition.

It has been way too long of a wait just to be getting a new skate park due to the fact that skaters are destroying properties of others by skateboarding on them and sometimes even vandalizing people's properties and businesses. Northern Miami Beach area is in need of new skate parks. There are many skateboarders in Miami going long distances just to have a place to use their skateboards without being harassed by property owners. So skateboarders deserve and need new skate parks to skate in peace and focus on themselves.
