Petition
Trades against traffic: Make immediate changes to traffic infrastructure.

What the petition asks
Employ a capable team of traffic/city engineers to work out a solution for the extremely heavy traffic and plan to allow trade vehicles move more efficiently, without being restricted by weight, parking, buses, cycle lanes or other types of limitations.
The heavy traffic and lack of access is causing loss of business, severe stress and mental anxiety, massive delays in all industries, extended working hours, missing essential appointments and heightened agitation, causing verbal and sometimes physical violence on the road. It is detrimental to workers in small businesses’ mental health.
