Install traffic calming measures on Materhorn Dr and Millmar Dr
The Issue
Every day, residents and visitors of Harry Stone Park witness an unsettling reality: vehicles speeding down Matterhorn Drive and Millmar Drive, transforming these community spaces into potential danger zones. Families, children, and seniors who frequent the area's walking trails and sidewalks find themselves in unsafe conditions where the joy of walking, biking, or scootering to the beloved park is overshadowed by fear.
For families, the park is a place where kids should be free to play and explore without the looming threat of speeding cars. Seniors, too, have the right to comfortably enjoy the walking trails without constantly looking over their shoulder. This situation is not only frustrating but dangerous.
The residents of this area call on the City of Dallas Transportation Department and City Council District representatives to take immediate action. We are urging them to conduct a comprehensive traffic study to understand the extent of the speeding issue on these vital roads. Following this study, we request the prioritization and installation of speed bumps or alternative traffic-calming measures. Such steps are crucial to protect the safety and well-being of all who use these thoroughfares.
Statistically, the implementation of traffic-calming measures, such as speed bumps, has proven to significantly decrease vehicle speeds and enhance pedestrian safety. Research indicates that traffic calming not only reduces speed but also notably decreases the likelihood of accidents and injuries, making neighborhoods like ours safer and more welcoming.
Let us transform Matterhorn Drive and Millmar Drive into safer avenues for everyone – from energetic kids to leisurely walkers. We urge City officials to listen to the concerns of their constituents and prioritize the safety of our community.
Please lend your support to this vital cause by signing this petition. Together, we can drive change and ensure a safer environment for all residents and park goers. Sign and help us create a secure and enjoyable community space for everyone.
