Everyday as I drive along the stretch of road between SW 108th Ave and SW 109th CT in Kendall, Miami, Florida, I am witness to a heartbreaking scene. Countless ducks and their adorable ducklings are being run over by careless drivers who fail to notice them crossing the road. It is devastating to see a freshly killed mother duck lying lifeless on the pavement while her helpless ducklings frantically wait nearby.

This personal experience has motivated me to start this petition urging the local authorities to take immediate action by installing a duck crossing sign in this area. The absence of such signage puts these innocent creatures at risk and allows for unnecessary accidents that could easily be prevented.

While it may seem like a small issue compared to other pressing matters, protecting wildlife is an essential responsibility that we should all uphold. By implementing a simple yet effective solution like adding a duck crossing sign, we can significantly reduce the number of ducks and ducklings being tragically killed on our roads.

To support this petition's cause with factual evidence, let us consider some relevant statistics from reputable sources:

1) According to data from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), there has been an alarming increase in wildlife-vehicle collisions across our state over recent years.
2) A study conducted by [insert source] found that areas with proper animal crossing signs experienced up to [insert percentage] reduction in wildlife fatalities.
3) Research published by [insert source] highlights how signage specifically designed for waterfowl crossings has proven successful in safeguarding these vulnerable species elsewhere.

By citing these credible sources and highlighting their findings accurately, we can emphasize the importance of taking action now. Installing a dedicated duck crossing sign will not only protect our local wildlife but also raise awareness among drivers about their presence on this particular stretch of road.

I urge the Kendall, Miami, Florida authorities to prioritize the safety of our wildlife by promptly installing a duck crossing sign between SW 108th Ave and SW 109th CT. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that no more innocent lives are lost due to careless driving.

Sign this petition today and let us show our commitment to preserving the beauty of nature while promoting safer roads for all. Help us protect these precious ducks and their ducklings from unnecessary harm.
