Crucial Update: Council Responds - Your Emails Needed Now!
Attention petitioners! Council has responded to our concerns about angled parking removal, but their reply is concerning.
Mary Osman, on behalf of Mayor Crossland, cites the 2021 Community Vision survey, claiming 86% of respondents favored "more sustainable transport options" over "more cars and parking spaces." This is a clear misinterpretation of survey data: wanting more sustainable transport options DOES NOT equal support for parking removal.
Council's further assurance of "no currently scheduled projects" is a clever dodge. The Transport Action Plan explicitly paves the way for future removal, and we see through this semantic game.
Action needed:
- Email Mary.Osman@yarracity.vic.gov.au, Edward.Crossland@yarracity.vic.gov.au, and Councillors@yarracity.vic.gov.au
- Challenge their survey interpretation
- Share how parking loss would affect you
- Demand they:
a) Stop using the 2021 survey to justify parking removal
b) Reassess how they interpret community feedback
c) Conduct a new, specific survey on angled parking
Every email counts! Let's flood their inboxes and let them know we will scrutinize their every move to ensure our community's true voice is heard, not just a conveniently misinterpreted version of it.
Act now – together.
