Living on North Pine Street in Ukiah, California, I experience first-hand the dangers posed by fast-moving vehicles on our residential road. As a resident with young children and small pets, I am deeply concerned about the safety of our neighborhood. We are a community designed for families, mere steps away from the vibrant Vinewood Park where locals gather to play, relax, and spend quality time. However, the increasing tendency of drivers to speed through our street puts all of this at risk.

Speeding drivers have already caused tragic animal deaths, and it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or worse. Accidents like these can devastate families and traumatize communities. It is crucial that we take preventative action now to avoid further tragedy and foster a safer environment for all Pine Street residents, as well as those visiting our beloved park.

Research shows that speed bumps are an effective measure for reducing vehicle speeds in residential areas. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, they have been proven to reduce speed by an average of 20%. By installing speed bumps on North Pine Street, we can significantly decrease the likelihood of accidents and enhance the quality of life for everyone in the area.

We are calling on the Ukiah city council to take immediate action by implementing speed bumps on North Pine Street. This safety measure is essential not only for protecting our children and pets but also for maintaining the peace and safety of our entire community.

Please join me in urging the city council to make our neighborhood a safer place. Sign this petition and let our voices be heard to create a safer, more secure environment for all. Your signature could be the one that makes the difference. Together, let's ensure North Pine Street remains a haven for families, friends, and community gatherings.
