Readers are encouraged to visit the French Hill, Givat HaMivtar, Tsameret Habira and Ramat Eshkol Community Center website and vote in the poll regarding public opinion of the bike lane project in the area. The poll is located near the lower left of the page.
This is particularly relevant due to the fact that in the short period of time prior to yesterday's meeting between the Municipality representatives and French Hill residents, the poll went, nearly overnight, from a very strong majority that was very critical of the project, to dramatic and highly suspicious overwhelming support for the project. This is especially suspicious as in the meeting, the head of the project from the Municipality, Kobi Bartov, proudly touted the positive opinion of the poll (it should be remembered that it had only until recently been quite negative). One resident at the meeting critically responded stating that the poll is anonymous, which allows people to vote as many times as they want provided they know how to bypass its very weak duplicate voting safeguard (it is possible to read a summary of the meeting here).
In light of these events, people are encouraged to vote according to their good conscience in order to offset the current dubious statistics.
