• SIGN DRY PETITION: If you live in the 34th precinct (see map above), we need 250 registered voters to sign  both of our dry petitions prohibiting the sale of carry-out alcoholic beverages (one petition for beer and one for wine/liquor). A large portion of a gas station’s convenience store’s profit is carry-out beer, wine, and liquor sales. It is our hope that without these carry-out alcohol sales, RaceTrac may reconsider building here without suing the city: 

More about the Dry Petition:

Here’s the official request for the Dry Petition: “We are circulating these petitions to place two issues on the November ballot to prevent RaceTrac from selling carry-out beer, wine, and/or liquor products to its customers in its gas station convenience store in your precinct. Your signature is needed to allow the voters in the 34th precinct to vote on this.” [Hand potential signer the clipboard with the petition] 

FAQs: These dry petitions only affect carry-out beer, wine, or liquor sales in the 34th precinct (the old Coyote Beverage Barn on Factory Rd isn’t in the 34th precinct). The dry petitions don’t affect liquor being sold to be consumed INSIDE any future restaurant that may be built on this parcel. This doesn’t prevent you from consuming beer, wine, and/or liquor at your home.

To sign the dry petitions:

• Swing by a petition-signing event on Sunday, April 14, from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM or Tuesday, April 16, from 3 PM to 7 PM in the far right end of Front parking lot of the church at 3009 Shakertown Road. Others living outside the 34th precinct are welcome to stop by to discuss our RaceTrac opposition.
• If you are unavailable on Sunday or Tuesday, please email smarticello@mac.com, and we will make arrangements for all the registered voters in your household to sign these dry petitions.
• If needed, we may go door to door wearing yellow T-shirts to collect dry petition signatures. If you see us in your neighborhood, please answer your door so we can get a quick signature. We will announce our door-to-door effort on social media beforehand. ***Please try to stop by our petition-signing events to lighten our busy workload and save us the time to go door to door for signatures.  

As stated above, we have set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the expenses connected to our truck stop opposition (printing flyers & petitions, signs, and potential consulting fees to environmental and/or other consultants). Any amount is welcome. If there are any remaining funds after our protest effort ends, we will donate them to the Little Miami Watershed Network to help preserve the river and to the Beavercreek Soccer Association for player scholarships. Please consider donating to stop RaceTrac. If we successfully stop RaceTrac while also avoiding Beavercreek City from being sued, we can eventually get the badly needed overpass at US 35 / Factory Road built while protecting the floodplain, which is essential for our local waterways' ecosystems.

(We understand that change.org is asking for money on the petition page. For your information, this money goes to their website and not to this opposition effort.)

Please know this fight is not over, and YOU CAN DO YOUR PART TO HELP! We need to be proactive because the intersection of US 35 and Factory Road will only get crazier once the new Beavercreek High School and two additional housing developments are built along the N Alpha Bellbrook Rd / Indian Ripple intersection. The High School and hundreds of new homes will significantly increase the traffic at this already-problematic Rt 35 /Factory Rd intersection, with thousands of extra cars passing through there daily. Our goal is to get an overpass built there soon while trying to protect the floodplain, which is essential to the Little Miami River’s ecosystem.

Thank you for your time reading through this information and for personally implementing our ACTION suggestions above!
