My sister is a resident of Flint, Michigan, and recently experienced a heartbreaking tragedy. Her beloved dog was killed by a speeding vehicle that didn't even stop to acknowledge what they had done. This incident is not just about her loss; it's about the safety of the entire community.

The neighborhood streets have become dangerous due to drivers who disregard speed limits. Without proper traffic calming measures like speed bumps, we are constantly at risk. Children playing outside, pedestrians walking their pets or simply crossing the street could be next.

According to the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), speed bumps reduce vehicular speeds and improve safety conditions on residential streets. Moreover, studies show that neighborhoods with implemented traffic calming measures experience fewer accidents compared to those without (source: Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).

We need immediate action from our local government in Flint to implement these life-saving measures on our streets. We cannot wait until another life is lost due to reckless driving.

Please sign this petition urging the city officials of Flint, MI to install speed bumps in our neighborhood and make our roads safer for everyone.
