On January 7, 2017, there was a horrific accident that took the life of Shania Costella. Shania’s vehicle hydroplaned on Road 426 and China Creek, and her vehicle rolled over the edge and into the creek. Her loss was felt across the mountain community, her high school, friends, and family. Shania’s sister Sahvannah survived the tragic accident, and together with Caleb Morgan, one of Shania’s friends, they have decided to start this petition to prevent any further accidents on this dangerous stretch of road. This curve is unsuspectingly sharp, and there have been numerous other accidents at this spot. We are urging you sign this petition to put up a guardrail at this location. This guard rail has the potential to save lives and prevent families from enduring the heartache that has been felt from Shania’s loss. Please take a moment to sign this, and make a difference in our community.

The Spencer skatepark has been our hometown skatepark for years now, and the park does not have much for us to skate. We are simply asking for town officials to use the money we raised using our "Gofundme" to add other ramps, ledges, and rails. Thank you to anyone who signs! Sincerely , The skaters of Spencer

We are extremely concerned about proposals to build office buildings and a hotel on this property. Remington Woods should be off-limits for development and instead should be preserved as a park or open space for the people of Stratford, Bridgeport and surrounding towns. There are plenty of true brown fields in the area that should be cleaned up and used for office space and hotels instead, not a precious and rare urban open space such as this one. It would be as if the leaders of New York City proposed developing Central Park as a way to generate "taxes and jobs". Not a good idea in either location.

Our neighborhood is home to an exceptionally diverse group of residents. The Green Street Renters Association supports development without displacement, and greater affordability at Mordechai Levin's proposed 3353 Washington St. development is needed in order to protect and preserve the racial and economic diversity of our community.

We all will be affected! By April 3rd (this Monday), Congress Representatives must pass in to the Appropriations Committee letters requesting funding for specific programs. Please ask them to request funding for LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) and IAL (Innovative approaches to Literacy), which provide summer reading programs for kids, help building high-tech small business service centers, helps veterans apply for loans, etc. and IAL (Innovative Approaches to Literacy). which give grants to under-served school libraries and work to improve child literacy. Google LSTA or ALA (American Library Association) for full information about the issue and the Appropriation letters to be signed. $210 million of library funding is at stake.

We are students at Marvin Ridge Middle School. We will be driving soon and this intersection is one that we will use to get to school. It is a very dangerous intersection and we don't want to have to risk our lives every day or see any more accidents happen. Two other traffic circles are going to be installed on this same road within the next 6 months. This intersection is the most dangerous one on the street but DOT doesn't have it on the schedule with the other two traffic circles. This intersection needs to be made safer immediately before someone loses their life.

The citizens of New Orleans declare a vote of no confidence in the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO). Our bills have risen steadily and unreasonably, and our infrastructure and streets have eroded into stagnant pools of disrepair. Meanwhile, the Sewerage and Water Board's customer service is non-existent -- the website is either down or overloaded, contact by phone is virtually impossible, and our issues of record are permanently "under investigation," an empty and meaningless term used by the SWBNO in an attempt to placate customers. Business, as usual, must cease immediately. The citizens of New Orleans demand change!

The proposed Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) Lock Replacement Project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has immense negative impacts for the people of South Louisiana.   •       The proposed lock replacement project will cost tax payers millions and is not economically viable.  Based on existing studies and data; the implementation of the USACE Tentatively Selected Plan 3 (Draft GRR) project no longer makes economic sense and is not justified through economic data and lock data provided by the USACE.   Data Provided indicates reductions in overall tonnage, amount of barges, and number of lockages between 2004-2015 with no proof of projected increase use into the future.   •       The Tentatively Selected Plan 3 construction will cause significant environmental, economic, and cultural damages to our region.  The proposed construction of this project is estimated to last at least 13 years.  Residents, home owners, businesses, and property owners will be the ones impacted most during this period and will be exposed to environmental hazardous materials, vibrations and erosion impacts from pile driving. Construction will delay, if not prevent at times, safe access and transportation across the Industrial Canal without an adequate transportation study review.  This construction period will also halt the ongoing and future completion of significant real estate development projects on both sides of the IHNC.  “Large construction projects, such as the IHNC Lock replacement project, reduce the livability of nearby neighborhoods, reduce aesthetics and interrupt linear recreational opportunities.” (Page 6-30 January 2017 USACE Draft GRR) •       The project has no economic benefits for the residents of this area. USACE has publicly stated, in the Feb 23rd 2017 Public Meeting, that after the potential construction of Tentatively Selected Plan 3, the project will provide no short or long term economic benefit to the surrounding region's home owners, business owners, and residents. •       A New Environmental Impact Study must be done. The USACE must develop and complete a new and Separate Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) using up to date data and review processes.  Instead the USACE has stated it will provide only a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to the Previous 2009 SEIS which is out of date. •       The dredging of toxic chemicals will endanger the eco-system. The USACE Tentatively Selected Plan 3 calls for excavation of approximately 719,000 cubic yards of total dredge material, with 105,000 cubic yards of material containing harmful materials, including dangerous metals, herbicides, pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons, and other volatile materials.  The dredging of these materials in open water will endanger the surrounding ecosystem and the safety of New Orleans’ city water from the Mississippi River, and furthermore expose residents to unknown toxic levels for an undetermined amount of time.

*The petition opening cannot be edited. The property under debate is the 0.99 acre where Logemann Center sits. The rest of the civic campus would still be owned by the City. Why Starting this Petition: In order to enhance the economic and social vitality of our community, we support a philanthropic park proposal by a group of long-time Mequon city developers and prominent area businessmen.

Tentative plans include: -Aquatic park with a zero-depth pool, lap pool, splash pad, water slides, and, a special program party area -Multipurpose Sports Field including baseball and soccer field -Concession booth -Event performance stage -Lawn terrace -Grandstand seating Oppose a former alderman's (who recently left office April 2016) proposal to build a 7000 sq.ft, sports restaurant/pub in a portion of the existing Logemann building footprint, THUS PREVENTING ANOTHER LAND SALE OF 0.99 acre of PRIME MEQUON PROPERTY to a private citizen. ***PLEASE NOTE YOUR DISTRICT (1-8) IN COMMENT SECTION IF APPLICABLE*** LINK TO PARK PROPOSAL: https://www.dropbox.com/s/19kmd5xfu9tzp86/Mequon%20Community%20Park%202.27.17_JG.pdf?dl=0

This petition is to gather support for Old Dover Neighborhood Association's "Slow Street" Application. We believe that Harrison Ave is a dangerous roadway in need of traffic calming efforts. The region that stretches from E Berkeley Street to Malden Street is populated with local shops, restaurants, a day care, school, homeless shelter, and hundreds of new residences that have been developed in just the past few years. Unfortunately, despite all this new traffic, little has been to slow the vehicles that speed up-and-down Harrison Ave on a regular basis, or to protect pedestrians. The existing crosswalks are not clearly marked, signage is sparse, and there is poor visibility at intersections which contribute to frequent accidents and near-misses. As such, we strongly believe that Harrison Ave is an ideal candidate for the City's Slow Street program.

The reason I am starting this petition is because nobody is doing anything to fix the roads that need to be fixed and we are tired of seeing them repave roads that are perfectly fine. There are potholes everywhere, our sidewalks are horrible-- it's a safety hazard and needs to be fixed asap.

The NJ legislator should repeal Baures vs. Lewis by passing S1137 (Senate) and A-339 (Assembly). Children's rights and their best interest must be at the forefront of the Court's evaluation of possible relocation in Divorce matters, not the wishes of any one Parent over the other. Kids are not property! A large body of research that was used to support Baures is now refuted as invalid. Other States whose laws were also used to support Baures have since switched to the 'Best Interests' standard.
