Curb the Concrete on Collins Avenue, Miami BeachThe proposed development for 5775 Collins Avenue, formerly known as the Marlborough House, will destroy two important view corridors along historic Collins Avenue. As detailed in the City of Miami Beach's planning report, the developer should rotate the building 90 degrees or increase each side set back by at least 50 percent to preserve two view corridors of light and air for the entire Miami Beach community that has existed for 54 years. It is important to note that we are not against new development, but want the very best development for the Miami Beach community, and this proposal falls short. Furthermore, this proposed development is NOT in compliance with Design Review Criteria. Specifically, guidelines 5, 6, 7, 12 and 15. Unlike the existing Marlborough House which is oriented perpendicular to Collins Avenue, the current proposal is oriented parallel to the street and broadsides the beach. For perspective, the proposal diminishes both side yards that serve as important view corridors by over half.102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Save Collins

Stop the extreme expansion of cell towers on every street in AmericaI don’t want a cell tower installed on a street lamp outside my home or children’s school? Do you? There are two bills before Congress NOW that will make this all legal: S.19 (The Mobile Now Act) and S.1988 (The SPEED Act). Will you join me and Americans for Responsible Technology in Opposing S.19, and S.1988? The wireless industry has been "secretly" introducing legislation in the U.S. Congress designed to take away every American city's authority to control where Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile locate their cell towers. I don’t want a cell tower installed on a street lamp outside my home! The FCC is streamlining the deployment of thousands of 4G small cell towers NOW on an unprecedented scale (and paving the way for hundreds of thousands more 5G antennas in the future) and this could be happening in your neighborhood if you don’t act NOW and contact your member of Congress! These industry bills will allow powerful wireless transmitters to be installed (along with their noisy and large power equipment) to any utility pole or street lamp in any public right of way in America. Most utility poles or street lamps will become cell towers on every block leaving the public with no input OR legal recourse, and vulnerable to privacy and security risks. The public has not agreed to cell towers in their front yards! Real estate values will significantly decline near base stations and antennas. All of us, as taxpayers, will be footing the bill while the telecom companies profit HUGELY. Contrary to assurances by AT&T and Verizon, the “safety” of wireless exposure has NEVER been proven and there is growing science showing increased health risks, especially for children and pregnant women. I worry about the science showing health risks. Do you? Safety limits have not been updated since the 1990s and the FCC’s guidelines were derived from industry, and there is no monitoring or compliance testing of cell towers. A recent $25 million study by the U.S. National Toxicology Program of the National Institutes of Health found increased incidences of brain cancer, malignant tumors of the heart and DNA damage in laboratory animals from microwave wireless exposure levels the FCC considers "safe"! Please sign this petition (with your full legal name) as it will be sent to Congressional leaders in Washington D.C, urging them to oppose S.19, and S.1988 and put a stop to the massive deployment of cell towers.2,036 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Aminoff

Save Adult In-Home Support Waiver and Advantage Program in OklahomaI have been personally affected by this situation. On October 31, 2017, the Oklahoma Department of Human Services sent out letters to me and about 21,000 other families stating that due to budget failure, our in-home support waivers will be canceled effective November 30, unless the state legislature appropriates funds in the meantime. Many families are facing emergency situations of whether they can continue to work to provide for their families or quit work to care for their families and then face homelessness and dire poverty. It's a horrible, horrific situation.41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Don Alberty

Terminate the City of Santa Clara Residential Food Scrap Recycling ProgramSanta Clara residents in the city's pilot program are discovering that they are losing over a third of their garbage container capacity with no change in their rates for garbage collection service.

Let's terminate this pilot program immediately and prevent this unwanted program from being put in place by the City of Santa Clara.122 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Burke

Petition Having Westbridge Rd. Center StripedWestbridge Rd. is an access road that should have a center strip like Canyon Falls Drive for safety reasons. As a two-lane access road, it is highly irregular not to have a center stripe to clearly define each side of the road.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kyle L Mistrot

Tell Mayor Don Grebien: No New Garbage Transfer Station in PawtucketPawtucket residents and small businesses have been dumped on long enough. We were not consulted. We had no say in this. Increased odor, rodents, traffic and environmental hazards are things that residents and small businesses ought to be consulted about but instead, the plan for this dirty monstrosity was pushed through secretly by Pawtucket's mayor.271 of 300 SignaturesCreated by David Norton

Citizens for a Humane CommuteJoe Lhota plans to pack 80 - 100 more people into each subway car by eliminating seats. How is this overcrowding safe? Children, seniors, people with medical conditions or challenges need seats. Hardworking New Yorkers deserve seats. This is about safety- and quality of life! Safety and civility should be NYC priorities. Stop worsening the inhumane conditions of our subways -give us back our seats!10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Margaret McCarthy

Sussex County (Delaware) needs our feedback on a pickeball venueSussex County is asking the public to offer feedback on a multi-million-dollar project to create a sports complex that would serve youth and adults in southern Delaware, beginning as early as the spring of 2019. County officials received a presentation by the Sussex Sports Center Foundation on Sept. 26, 2017, that envisions a new public facility – for residents and visitors to Sussex County – featuring soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, and touch football fields, pickleball courts, playground equipment, as well as walking and cross-country trails, just off Sand Hill Road in the Town of Georgetown. The complex would serve youth clubs, local schools, and adult recreation leagues, as well as the general public. Proposed as a public-private partnership, the foundation members have asked Sussex County to provide $1.5 million in financial support for the $4.4 million project, with the option to eventually take over ownership of the athletic and recreation complex. In addition to financial support, the project must receive land use approval from the Town of Georgetown. To learn more about the proposal, view the information packet at: https://sussexcountyde.gov/sites/default/files/PDFs/Sussex_Sports_Center_092617.pdf. To review the proposed site plans, visit: https://sussexcountyde.gov/sites/default/files/PDFs/Site_Plans_Proposed_Sports_Complex.pdf. To listen to the presentation to the Sussex County Council and discussion from the meeting, visit: https://sussexcountyde.gov/sites/default/files/audio/other/sports_complex_presentation_09-26-17.mp3. Sussex County Council encourages the public to comment on the project as the Council considers the foundation’s proposal. Members of the public can offer comment in any of the following ways: Email ([email protected]) In writing, mailed to: Sussex County Council c/o Clerk of the Council PO Box 589 Georgetown, DE 19947 In person at a future County Council meeting. Citizens can provide testimony in person at the start of any scheduled County Council meeting, held at 10 a.m. Tuesdays in Council chambers, 2 The Circle, Georgetown, DE.
