text: how can i help my neighborhood to paint parking lines on stanley ave.?   have a petition signed by all of your neigbors.  make sure to have a good argument to why you think they are needed.  then present the petition to your local councilman/councilwoman (politically correct).  that is what i would do.  a lot of people do this for long roads (typically 25mph roads) where people speed a lot to get speed bumbs installed.  good luck!
