Install a speed hump on 25th street to protect our community
The Issue
Growing up, children in our community spent countless joyful afternoons playing outside, a place we once considered safe. In recent years, however, this street has become increasingly hazardous due to speeding vehicles that threaten the well-being of our community’s children and pets.
I've experienced firsthand the heart-stopping moments when a child comes dangerously close to a speeding car. Just last week, we had yet another close call with a car narrowly avoiding a child who had been playing with friends. That child could have been yours or mine. Tragically, not all of our neighborhood's loved ones have been fortunate to escape harm. We have already lost a cherished pet, a loss that could have been prevented.
It's a heart-wrenching reality that prompts us to demand immediate action. Installing a speed hump on our street is an urgent, actionable solution to protect our residents. Speed humps are effective traffic calming measures proven to reduce vehicular speeds in residential areas worldwide.
In communities that have implemented speed humps, studies show significant reductions in accidents and improvements in safety. For example, a study conducted by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) revealed a 29% decrease in vehicle speeds after the installation of speed humps in similar neighborhoods. Our community deserves the same protection.
We aren’t asking for much – just the safety of our loved ones. A speed hump will ensure drivers slow down, making our street safer for everyone, especially for the kids who cherish this place as their playground. The installation would be a simple yet profound step towards a safer environment.
Join us in calling on the local authorities to prioritize the safety of our community. By signing this petition, you are advocating for a practical solution that will safeguard the health, safety, and happiness of our neighborhood. Let’s work together to make our street safer, more secure place for our children and pets. Please sign this petition and lend your voice to a cause rooted in the genuine concern for our community’s future.
