The Issue

I am a student at Penfield High School. Punctuality matters to me, and for every student to learn best, they need to be on time to school. Many mornings, when I try to turn left at this specific intersection it takes me 15+ minutes to turn the left. I live within a mile of school, and even if I leave 30 minutes before school starts I'm often late. It's dangerous to students and drivers, and impedes traffic. I'm not the only student with this problem, with many students attributing this intersection to being late to school.

A safer, more efficient route to education is within reach. Help make that possible by signing this petition to urge local traffic engineers to make this critical improvement at Whalen Rd & Five Mile Line. Your support can lead to real change, ensuring timely and safe commutes for Penfield High School students and the wider community. A protected left-turn arrow at the intersection of Whalen Rd and Five Mile Line Rd would make students commute safer and faster, ensuring we get to school on time to learn.
