Force the city of Fairfield and Suisun City to build a pedestrian overpass
The Issue
My heart broke into pieces the day my son was tragically killed by an Amtrak train at the crossing on Sunset and Railroad Avenue. The pain is indescribable and the loss is irreplaceable. And sadly, my family is not alone in this suffering. Countless other families have faced similar tragedies, losing loved ones in the exact same area. It's heart-wrenching to know that these deaths could have been prevented.
This perilous crossing in the heart of our community demands immediate attention and action from our city leaders in Fairfield and Suisun City. With the constant flow of trains and the absence of safe pedestrian infrastructure, this crossing poses a severe hazard for all residents, especially children who traverse this path to school and play.
Statistics from the Federal Railroad Administration show that train accidents at railroad crossings claim lives and cause serious injuries every year. According to their data, more than 2,000 accidents occur annually due to unsafe crossings. However, many of these devastating incidents are preventable.
The solution is clear and achievable: constructing a pedestrian overpass at the intersection of Sunset and Railroad Avenue. This overpass will ensure the safety of our children, neighbors, and friends, providing a secure and unobstructed path across the tracks. We must act proactively to protect our community from further unnecessary harm and heartbreak.
Now is the time for Fairfield and Suisun City leaders to take bold and compassionate action. The installation of this overpass will not only honor the memory of those who've tragically passed but will also serve as a commitment to the safety and well-being of our community.
Please sign this petition to urge our city leaders to prioritize the construction of a pedestrian overpass at Sunset and Railroad Avenue. Together, we can prevent future tragedies and ensure a safer future for all residents. Your signature is a step towards protecting our community and honoring those we've lost. Stand with us in advocating for a safer Fairfield and Suisun City.
