People stop to sign petitions at the corner of Helen of Troy and Resler on Saturday.
Nearly 170 people stopped to sign petitions on Saturday to preserve the Scenic Transmountain corridor. Some pulled their car over when they saw signs. Others took a break from their walk or jog. A few drove from faraway just to sign. Besides the nine persons who volunteered to collect signatures along the Pat O'Rourke Trail for two hours Saturday morning, two other passer-by's stayed to help. Several people took blank petitions in order to ask their friends, associates and family members to sign.
It is hard to count the numbers now because there are several efforts currently to get signatures. Of the petitions that we know about 1499 have signed the "preserve" petition and 1424 have signed the "preserve + no roadways" petition.
Plan to attend First Friday (Facebook event page and Map) on February 4th or return to the O'Rourke Trail next Saturday if you would like to sign.
