As a resident of the neighborhood surrounding Best Road, I am profoundly concerned about the safety of our community. Every day, vehicles speed down Best Rd between 32nd Ave and 24th Ave, using it as a shortcut between streets. Alarmingly, this stretch of road has no sidewalk. This is not just a road, but a path for many children and residents who walk to and from school.

Imagine the burden of sending your children to school while fearing for their safety, simply due to the reckless speeds of passing vehicles. It is a catastrophe waiting to happen, endangering lives with every speeding car. We must ensure that our streets are safe for pedestrians – especially our children.

Implementing a speed bump is a practical and straightforward solution that could dramatically reduce speeding on this road, ensuring safer passage for our community members. Speed bumps are proven to decrease vehicle speeds and have been credited with lowering the risk of accidents in community settings globally.

Statistics show that residential neighborhoods with traffic calming measures, like speed bumps, experience considerably fewer road incidents. For instance, according to the Federal Highway Administration, traffic calming measures can reduce traffic speeds by up to 20% and crash rates by 15%.

This small change can make a massive impact on the safety and well-being of our neighborhood. It's time we take action to protect our community and our loved ones by calling on the local authorities to install a speed bump along Best Rd. This straightforward measure will not only safeguard our children and pedestrians but also enhance the neighborhood's peace and security.

Please join me in signing this petition to urge our local government to take the necessary steps for the safety of everyone on Best Rd. Your signature can be the key to making our community safer.
