The petition must be signed by owners of property representing a majority of the total assessed value or a majority of the area of the real property in the district that abuts the right-of-way in which the public transit system is proposed to be located. The determination of a majority is based on the property owners along the entire right-of-way of the proposed transit project and may not be computed on a block-by-block basis.
