Every day, I watch my kids cross the streets of our Eagle Point neighborhood with a feeling of unease. On their way to school or during bike rides, they face the constant threat posed by speeding vehicles - often from vehicles using the neighborhood as a shortcut. Many of these cars zoom down the street, disregarding the stop sign at Tara Belle and Braymore, making our roads perilous for children and pedestrians alike.

The safety of our children and community members should be a priority. I, like many parents in our community, am deeply worried about these unsafe conditions.

To address this issue, we propose the installation of three speed bumps in strategic locations: two on Tara Belle between Montgomery and Braymore Circle, and one on Braymore Circle between Tara Belle and Normantown Road. These speed bumps would serve as an effective measure to calm traffic and ensure that vehicles adhere to speed regulations, significantly reducing the risk of accidents.

According to various studies, speed bumps can effectively reduce vehicle speed by 25-40%, enhancing the safety of neighborhoods like ours. Implementing this change in our neighborhood will not only protect our children but also provide peace of mind to all residents.

The need for speed bumps in Eagle Point is not just about regulating traffic; it's about safeguarding lives and fostering a secure environment for families. By signing this petition, we can urge local authorities to take immediate action. Join me in advocating for a safer environment for our children and all residents of Eagle Point.
