In response to a recent City Council decision to change a city ordinance, a group has started an online citizens' petition asking Council members to reconsider.
The movement has a YouTube video to call attention to the beautiful gardens surrounding homes in Provo. The new ordinance allows property owners to pave up to 40% of a backyard for parking and "hardscape" the remainder of the backyard, with only "some green barrier" between the parking and the rest of the yard. Makers of the petition feel that this ordinance will result in less family-friendly neighborhoods.
You can read about the change to the ordinance in a Herald article (click here) and see the petition by clicking here.
