COAST kills it with big day of signatures

In the annals of COAST's history today, March 23, 2013, will go down as one of our big days.  Today, a dozen COAST volunteers hit the streets with Parking Plot petitions to stop the Wall Street takeover of Cincinnati's parking meters.

Tom Brinkman, Jr. led a crew that did a drive-thru signing in the middle of Mt. Lookout Square with Dan St. Charles, and Kim Grant manning the station with him.  Hundreds of motorists and pedestrians came by to thank the petitioners for leading the charge against the misguided City policy, and to sign the petition.

Others worked Hyde Park Square, Findlay Market and other City locations.

Christopher Smitherman, Amy Murray, Pete Witte and John Cranley were leading other teams in the field.

It was a beautiful, sunny day and hundreds if not thousands of signatures were obtained.

We have only one more weekend before the petition drive concludes, and so please volunteer this week and next weekend for the final push.

Thanks to everyone involved.
