We're launching a campaign for a Vibrant, Safe 8th-- a street that functions as a community, not a cut-through. We want a 8th Ave South to be safe and inviting; economically and culturally vibrant; and provide efficient transportation options for all who use it.
Help us make this vision become a reality by writing a letter in support of a vibrant and safe 8th Ave. We've included a template email below, but strongly encourage you to use your own personal stories. If your curious about the study being conducted by the city and why the proposed 3-lane configuration would help us move towards a better 8th Ave check out our old blog post here.
You can also join the movement by signing our petition.
