The folks in the West Mercer Mercer Place group are hosting a letter writing rally this Sunday, February 20 opposing the SDOT’s Mercer West Project.
Uptown residents concerned over the proposed one-lane widening of West Mercer Place and West Mercer discussed plans to petition the city and City Councilmembers not to follow-through with the project at last week’s Uptown Alliance meeting. In addition to sending an official letter from the Uptown Alliance to the Mayor, City Council, and SDOT, the group also decided to hold a rally to get more neighbors involved in the campaign.
The letter writing rally will be held in the parking lot at 5th Ave W and West Mercer from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, February 20. Community members are invited to write letters, discuss the issue, or just meet the neighbors. Participants should bring a stamped envelope with a return address on it.
