Tell us about her and why we should email everyone we know to support her!
Yes, Select Sarah!
Why Support Sarah Clark Stuart?
Here's why....
Sarah Clark Stuart was among those who led the movement, which hammered on the CSX railroad to make sure the crossing at Locust St. into the park stayed open.
She goes to scores of long meetings with the city and the state, waits for the right moment, and gets the needs of cyclists and pedestrians and park users considered. She backs up her requests with facts and surveys and first hand knowledge of the park, the bike paths, and city living.
Sarah guided and created a great guide to bicycle parking (and the lack of it) in Philadelphia that is leading directly to legislation that will put bike parking in new buildings
She keeps a cool head, but is passionate about making this city better for park users. She's already accomplished a lot without much money or drama.
She would be a great addition to the Parks and Recreation Commission. I see some names on the list that are the same old tired pols and wired up attorneys that will do "favors" for the connected and ignore the rest of us.
Please let Mayor Nutter and City Council know that Sarah Clark Stuart will make the park--and our city--a better place.
