We, the residents of 117th Avenue, Maple Ridge and surrounding areas, petition the city NOT to remove the stop signs along 117th Avenue as proposed by the city in a letter dated July 27th, 2020 ( Project: 117 Avenue and Laity Street Corridor Improvements - File Number 11:5255-40-222).

117th Avenue is already used an an alternative route for vehicles looking to avoid traffic lights. Removing these stop signs will only encourage speeding and will leave children, and other residents, with no safe place to cross (not planning on having crosswalks across 117th). 

We demand these stop signs be retained so our community can safely enjoy our neighbourhood without fear of being hit by buses or cars.
