90 signatures and counting!

The signatures keep coming in! 90 Aberdeen commuters have now signed the petition saying the parking situation is out of control and needs a quick resolution. Although we've been contacted by several public officials, including those from the city, county, state legislature, MARC and US Senate, and gotten many nice words of support and concern, we still haven't seen any meaningful action.

What do the commuters say?

53 train commuters – a whopping 59 percent of this informal survey - say the parking shortage already has or could in the future cause them to drive to work, rather than take the train.

At least 77 signers, an overwhelming 85 percent, want the city of Aberdeen to only ticket vehicles that are truly blocking somebody. By the way, Aberdeen officials, that includes at least 24 of the 25 Aberdeen residents signing the petition. YOUR VOTERS ARE CALLING ON YOU TO REIN IN OVEREAGER TICKET WRITERS!

Elected officials: these are your voters and constituents!
