An online petition aimed at getting changes on the Malahat has gathered 400 signatures and growing since it launched on change.org Tuesday.
Paul Russell of Duncan got the petition started after the latest shutdown over the weekend cutting off the island's traffic artery for hours.
The petition states the route is frequently closed or severely delayed after a minor, serious or deadly crash; that the road is no longer sufficient to provide adequate access to Victoria or the rest of Vancouver Island; and that something must be done and an alternate route needs to be seriously considered.
