Every day, we, the residents of our beloved community, contend with a heavy heart as our near and dear ones venture via the treacherous Route 29. Our community has been forced to endure unbearable losses, an unfair predicament no community should be presented with. The existing road design lately cannot cope with the increased traffic, leading to numerous catastrophic incidents that have impacted our lives.

The pressing need for a turning lane between Bertram and Burnet is undeniable. This timely intervention can dramatically improve the safety level of the existing road structure. The implementation of a turning lane has been found to reduce crashes by approximately 29% (Source: Federal Highway Administration). A safer commute will not only protect our loved ones but is also essential for the overall welfare of our community.

Given the tragic circumstances our community is facing, we cannot afford to overlook the necessary infrastructural changes needed to make Route 29 safer. We urge the responsible authorities to step up and implement a turning lane between Bertram and Burnet. The time has come to prioritize safety over convenience. Let's ensure no more lives are needlessly lost on this route.

Please sign this petition to show your support for our cause and help us create a safe commuting environment for our community.
