Support a Two-lane Trial for Johnson St. Bridge!

As you may know, I am a huge fan of pilot-testing progressive urban change. For example:

Don't be Afraid to Experiment
Hey, Victoria: Go Back to Kindergarten
Bureaucracy vs. Balls

So, it will come at no surprise that I am a BIG fan of this:

The people at johnsonstreetbridge.org are currently advocating a two-lane trial (click for full description of proposal) for the JSB. Meaning, they are advocating that the City of Victoria pilot tests a two-vehicular lane + two-bicycle lane + pedestrian walkway conversion of the existing jsb, before moving ahead with other options -- e.g., building entirely new bridge.

This is worth supporting!

Please, sign the petition and show your support for progressive (sensible, cost-effective, logical, etc.) methods of progressive change in your city.

Sign the petition!

Two things:

1) A lot of discussion about this site happens on facebook; so, I would recommend finding the site (link on the right sidebar) and me there.

2) I'm experimenting with non-sign-in commenting to encourage more discussion (the 2 minutes it takes to create a google/other account seems like too much trouble).

Being 'anonymous' is pretty lame, so at least make up a fake name to use.
