In Eastvale, CA, our community has witnessed far too many incidents where innocent youths have been tragically struck by moving vehicles. As a parent, neighbor, and concerned citizen, these occurrences hit close to home and serve as a painful reminder of the vulnerability of our children and pedestrians on the road. Our streets should be safe spaces where families can confidently walk and cycle without fear of becoming victims of road accidents.

The safety of our community members, especially our children, should be a top priority. According to recent statistics, pedestrian fatalities are a growing concern across the United States. In 2020 alone, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported over 6,500 pedestrian deaths nationwide. This alarming number highlights the urgent need for comprehensive safety measures in our own streets of Eastvale.

To tackle this pressing issue, we are calling on the City Council of Eastvale, CA, to implement vital changes that will safeguard pedestrians and cyclists. These changes include installing better lighting on dark streets, adding more crosswalks at crucial intersections, creating designated bike lanes, and enforcing stricter speed limits with appropriate signage.

Proper education campaigns should also be launched to increase awareness about road safety among drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. We must work collaboratively with local law enforcement to ensure consistent enforcement of traffic laws, and invest in community programs that promote safety education in schools.

The future safety of Eastvale hinges on making these necessary improvements and ensuring our roads are safer for everyone. By taking proactive steps and holding our leadership accountable, we can prevent further tragic incidents and save lives.

Join us in urging the Eastvale City Council to take immediate action—sign this petition to demand increased safety measures for pedestrians and cyclists in our community. Equip our streets with the necessary infrastructure and education to protect our loved ones and neighbors. Together, we can make Eastvale a safer place for all.
