In the heart of Lacey, WA, Armour St SE stands as a residential area where safety should be a prime concern for both residents and passers-by. The street currently faces a pressing issue with drivers frequently exceeding the posted 25 MPH speed limit. This disregard for safety regulations presents a significant hazard, particularly for a vulnerable segment of our community.

Elderly residents often navigate this area using walkers, moving between their homes and destinations and there are no sidewalks. The presence of a disabled teenager also underscores the need for enhanced safety measures. Additionally, people who enjoy walking their dogs should confidently stroll without the looming threat of speeding vehicles. These community members deserve a safe environment that respects their need for security. 

Installing an additional speed bump between the addresses of 5901 and 6302 on Armour St SE would deter drivers from exceeding speed limits, thereby drastically improving the safety of the area. Speed bumps have been proven to effectively reduce vehicular speed, giving pedestrians a fair chance to cross roads safely and ensuring drivers remain vigilant.

The City of Lacey has a responsibility to protect its residents, and by implementing this concrete, straightforward solution, we can significantly mitigate the risk of accidents and harm to our community members.

Join us in urging the city council to take immediate action to install this speed bump and make Armour St SE a safer street for everyone. Please sign this petition to ensure the safety of our neighborhood and maintain the integrity of our community's values.
