To get a petioned warrant article for town meeting only requires the signatures of at least 25 registered voters on a petition. The signed petition needs to be presented to the town clerks office before early February. The town can't refuse to place a citizens petition on the warrant. The wording is what is key. It should be as simple and concise as possible and asking for specific actions. Getting it pased at town meeting will be the challenge. I know that Sheridan Road is petitioning something and there are some well connected citizens on that street.
