Provo is trying to downzone our neighborhood and after the planning commission meeting it became apparent they weren't too interested in our ideas. 22 citizens of the neighborhood spoke and told the planning commission they didn't want our neighborhood changed. 7 Spoke for the change but only 2-3 of them were from our neighborhood. After more than 200 signatures (the same number required to up zone) and lots of emails the planning commission said "It looks like we're evenly split". I'd hate to be in his math class.

What's next?

When it became apparent that our petition would be ignored more drastic measures were needed. In order to make the city listen we have to replace our current neighborhood chair (who is past due for reelection) and show our representatives that we mean business.
