Transform our City into a Safe, Walkable, 15-Minute City

The Issue

I am a resident who dreams of a safer, more walkable city for all. A city where every service, every need is just a 15-minute journey away, by bus, bike, or foot. To achieve this, we must revisit our current city planning and incorporate bus routes throughout, implement protected bike paths and sidewalks, and replace traffic lights with safer, cheaper roundabouts.

These changes are not only beneficial for our convenience but also vital for our safety and the environment. In cities where this concept has been implemented, such as Paris and Melbourne, and Amsterdam, there has been a reported decrease in traffic congestion and pollution levels while citizen health improved due to increased walking and cycling. These transformations also promoted local businesses and fostered a sense of community among residents.

By signing this petition, we are asking our local government to prioritize the well-being of its citizens over outdated city layouts. Let's transform our city into a safer, healthier, and easily navigable 15-minute city. Sign the petition today and take a step towards a more sustainable and connected community.
