A true story · still being written

One block noticed a bus that never comes.

This is their petition, live on Chicago's public record — every word below comes from the record itself.

Walk it. About a minute.

Scroll — the record writes itself

What comes next — still unwritten

04Desk

Still unwritten. At its threshold this petition gets hand-delivered to the alderperson's desk — dated, on the record. Your name moves it closer.

05Clock

Still unwritten. Delivery starts a public 60-day clock on the answer. Silence gets a date too.

06Record

Still unwritten. The answer — or the silence — lands here forever. Records never delete; mistakes get corrected in the open.

Live now · the same petition you just walked

This petition is live — your name goes on Chicago's record.

No account. That’s the whole form — both lines go on the record.
