The area between Johnson Ave and 1st Street on Northwest Link is very dark, posing a safety risk for residents commuting to and from the Ronkonkoma Long Island Railroad Station. The absence of street lighting makes this stretch particularly hazardous at night, especially for pedestrians.

Many of us rely on walking or cycling to reach the station and return home after dark. Without adequate lighting, the risk of accidents, crime, and other unsafe situations increases significantly. Every day, numerous individuals, including students, working professionals, and elderly residents, navigate this poorly-lit area, making them vulnerable to potential dangers.

Statistics show that adequate street lighting can reduce crime by up to 39% and decrease accident rates, creating a safer environment for all. Installing a street light would not only enhance safety but also promote a sense of security among residents, encouraging more people to walk or bike, thereby reducing traffic congestion and promoting healthier lifestyles.

I believe that the installation of a street light between Johnson Ave and 1st Street would be a beneficial improvement to our community's infrastructure. Ensuring the safety and security of everyone in the neighborhood should be a priority.

Please sign this petition to urge local authorities to take immediate action and install a street light on Northwest Link. Let's work together to make our community a safer place for everyone.
