The Issue

Montclair State University is a vibrant hub of education, teeming with students, faculty, and staff who traverse its pathways daily. However, the roads within and leading to this esteemed institution have become a growing safety concern. Potholes, worn-out asphalt, lack of proper signage, and inadequate pedestrian crossings not only pose risks to drivers but endanger pedestrians navigating the campus and its surrounding areas.

These unsafe conditions have led to numerous reported accidents and close calls, emphasizing the urgent need for action. It's not just about convenience; it's about ensuring the welfare of everyone who becomes part of the Montclair State University community. Whether you're a student striving for academic excellence, a faculty member enriching young minds, or a visitor exploring the campus, the roads should be the least of your worries.

We urge local government authorities and the university administration to prioritize road safety improvements. Immediate actions should include assessing and repairing road conditions, installing clear signage, and creating safe pedestrian crossings. Investing in these updates will not only reduce the risk of accidents but also enhance the overall experience for everyone at Montclair State University.

Join us in demanding change. Sign this petition to advocate for safer roads and a more secure environment at Montclair State University.
