I remember a story about someone's children going through a civics course, which somehow lead to the children petitioning the municipality to install a 4-way stop sign at a notorious intersection. They got the stop signs installed.

When I see stories like yours, I just think that people have no expectation that government at any level will be responsive to the needs or proposals of the citizenry (which is also my expectation, frankly). I find that sobering to acknowledge.
