That's the same one I signed months ago. Still only ~3k votes? Pretty sad really.

I signed up [moto]

Yeah, I thought it was a second time around until I went to sign and found out I allready did.  SIGN, FOLKS!
No numbers, no results :(

done
and fingers crossed

Definitely does seem pretty sad.

How votes would they actually need to make a difference?

Same here  [laugh]

Honestly (pessimist here), I doubt there's any number of votes (considering the actual number of people that ride) that would make any difference. Not trying isn't cool though. :)

+1

Never gonna happen... hippies...

signed

Signed--#2998. Who's going to be #3000?

Unless someone can prove otherwise, those online petitions are next to worthless.

Signed...3,009

I suppose we can't prove anything UNTIL we try ...  ;)  [moto]

Even if it's a fake or "never gonna happen" I would rather try than not.

Will the petition itself cause change? No.

The petition could affect elected representatives who want to keep their jobs, though.  Not a lot of work to sign it, so why not?

Why is it so easy for the NY city to single out the motorcycling community? Because the bulk of us seem to care so little about standing up for our rights.

Just curious, but what in particular are you referring to? How is not having moto-specific spots singling out the community? Not trying to argue, just trying to see where you're coming from.

Over the years, particularly under the Bloomberg administration, the small ammount of motorcycle parking we had is dissapearing.  I won't mention the ticket blitz against motos or not allowing motos to use HOV lanes spite of federal  mandate.  Never mind, I just did.

I knew about the ticket blitz, but was unaware of the parking disappearing parking. Hmmm... :-\

I am reminded of this: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/internet.asp

Who is that petition specifically addressed to and at what point in time was it (will it be) sent anyway?

Better to just write a few letters, if you really want any attention.

What he said. ;)

True

Now there are 3035 signatures  ;D  Is there anyway of getting this out to a border audience. Anyway of leaving signing sheets at dealer's around the city ? I will go to the ones in Brooklyn as there are 2 not to far from my house. I am all about motorcycle parking. Bloomberg with the new bicycle thing, I heard he got that idea from a visit to Paris, but what I do not understand is why didn't he seem to care about the motorcycle/scooter community. There is parking everywhere there, but there is 1,000's of more motorcycles/scooters there and they ride all year around. I feel we still see motorcycling as a seasonal sport and so it really isn't taken seriously. They could still do us a favor and make seasonal parking.
