Petition Signing Follow up

[geekpixie.livejournal.com]

So the signing went fairly well, we got almost 50 signatures for registered voters in Somerville, and a fair amount from guests to the Somerville area who are also concerned about this change. I'm meeting a few people tomorrow morning for additional signatures at 8 am in front of Au Bon Pain if anyone else is interested.

There's a petition still at the Somerville Theatre for additional signatures if people are able to make it there in the next few weeks before I assume a hearing would be. As soon as I reach 50 I'll be sending the petition via registered mail to make sure it gets where it needs to go, and I have proof that it got there.

I'll let people know when I'm notified of a hearing. I do plan on following up once I know it's arrived at City Hall.

Thanks to everyone who came out, I was actually surprised to not see more people, but I know sometimes scheduling just isn't workable for an after work time window. Thanks to Somerville Theatre for hosting me and being so great, and passing along their petition for submission alongside mine. I know that DARBY met tonight about this issue, and I got a few signatures thanks to Ron bringing a petition over. I also spoke to a few people who are working on making a petition for the parking issue as well, which is great. Thanks again.

Interesting! I had no idea. Do we know if they pay for the usage? It would make sense..(not that I'd park there, it's stinky... )

I have no idea if they pay for it.
