Our neighborhood in Boise, ID, is a charming, family-friendly community that offers parks, play areas, and a network of streets where children love to play and families enjoy leisurely strolls. Unfortunately, Bennington Dr and Bristol Heights Dr have become unsafe due to excessive speeding, posing a threat to our community's safety and peace of mind.

Despite the clearly marked 20 mph speed limit, drivers often disregard it, speeding through our neighborhood with little regard for pedestrian safety. As concerned parents and community members, we witness alarming incidents of near-misses with children and pets, dampening the joy and freedom that our neighborhood is supposed to offer.

Research indicates that speed humps are effective traffic calming measures. According to the Federal Highway Administration, speed humps can decrease average traffic speeds by over 25%, significantly reducing accident risks. These are low-cost, sustainable solutions that have proven success in neighborhoods across the nation.

Installing speed humps on Bennington Dr and Bristol Heights Dr will ensure drivers adhere to the speed limit, enhancing safety for everyone—especially our children and pets. By taking this action, the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) can demonstrate its commitment to fostering a safer environment in our community.

We need the support of our fellow residents to bring this change to fruition. Your voice and signature will underscore the urgent necessity for speed humps to protect our neighborhood's most vulnerable members. Please join us in urging ACHD to prioritize the safety of Bennington Dr and Bristol Heights Dr by signing this petition.

Together, we can create safer, more enjoyable streets for our children to play and our community to thrive. Sign the petition to install speed humps and make our neighborhood a safer place.
