My beloved cat, Willow, was the light of my life. Tragically, she was hit by a speeding vehicle on Union Street in Gardens, Cape Town - a residential road that has become an unofficial thoroughfare for drivers seeking to avoid the main road. This is not just about Willow; it's about all our pets and local wildlife who are at risk due to reckless driving.

Union Street is home to many families with pets. The lack of speed control measures puts these innocent lives in danger every day. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), speed bumps reduce traffic speeds by 10-20%, significantly reducing the risk of fatal accidents.

We propose the installation of speed bumps along Union Street as an effective measure to slow down vehicles and protect our animals from unnecessary harm. This simple change could save countless lives and prevent other pet owners from experiencing the heartbreak I have endured.

Please sign this petition if you believe in creating safer streets for our animals in Gardens, Cape Town. Your support can make a difference in protecting their precious lives.
