Hey all,

It’s the dark side vs. the light… and it’s coming down to the wire. As you all know I never post personal favors in the DAR, ever. But when it comes to child safety I’ll make an exception. My street, as many of you know, was under invasion from a bunch of careless cyclists – the result of which was a 4-year long widening of a bike lane that has caused numerous accidents and the restriction of emergency vehicle movement on the street. Today, I need your help.

From my last post.

I’m writing this because I live across the street from an elementary school (kinda’ funny I know).

Long story short, the real danger is that emergency vehicles cannot access the school with ease if something were to go wrong. And things have been going all kinds of wrong since this nonsense was installed.

Finally last week, an ATD survey concluded that this has been “a failed pilot program”, and responded heavily in our favor because the solution is and has always been, a no-brainer. There is a sidewalk across the street that can be widened for safe passage for all!

Anyway, just when this was getting closure and calmer heads prevailed, the cyclists started their own Change.org petition so they could continue to own the road on our once-tranquil street. They are flaunting their 1,000 signatures as evidence that – child safety and common sense be damned – they should have it their way. But the good guys have stormed back!

We created our own change.org petition to show the bikers that two can play at this game. All I ask is that you sign the petition and help make my street safe for the young children who use it every single day. I think it’s a noble ask. I very much appreciate it, Chivers. It takes all of 10 seconds to sign it and it’s a noble cause you’re participating in. The school and all the residents fully support this measure.

Sign and keep the kids safe right here! We are 30 votes away from putting this issue to bed once and for all. As cliche as it might sound, please do this for the kids. They do not deserve this ever-present danger one little bit.

KCCO,

John
