We are asking those in opposition to the planned Bike Lane and Greenway to be implemented on Manor Ave. between Montrose and Lawrence Avenues to sign this petition.  Please offer your support to obtain a modified version that does not reroute traffic from Manor to other adjacent streets.  The plan is calling for redirecting of both north and southbound car traffic to divert off of Manor Ave. and onto Wilson Ave.  Those that sign this petition ask that the steering committee, Alderman Mel, and CDOT change this configuration so that Manor traffic is NOT diverted.  We feel that the new plan will negatively impact the surrounding streets, neighborhood, and north and southbound traffic.

With the proposed plan, there is no consideration for north and southbound California traffic. This limits the closest north and southbound two-way streets to Kedzie Ave. and Western Ave., leaving a large gap in between. This planned diversion of traffic will force frustrated drivers onto streets that have far more homes than Manor Ave., thus creating an unsafe environment for the many families that reside on these adjacent blocks.

WE CAN MAKE A BIKE PATH AND GREENWAY THROUGH RAVENSWOOD MANOR WITHOUT DIVERTING THE TRAFFIC FLOW. 

Please sign this petition which will be sent to Alderman Mel and the RMIA.
