Introduce speed bumps and four-way stops at Drake & Brazos in San Antonio
The Issue
Our corner home on the intersection of Drake and Brazos streets in San Antonio, Texas is a ticking time bomb. The lack of appropriate traffic control measures has turned these roads into dangerous speedways. The high-speed traffic has already resulted in frequent hit-and-runs and severe car accidents. We have had to dial 911 over eight times in less than a year, living with the constant fear that any day now, another reckless driver might barrel into our home. The danger is all too real for our family—especially for our disabled daughter, who depends on a ventilator and oxygen tanks for her daily survival. A collision impacting our home could have catastrophic consequences.
This scenario is not just our personal nightmare but a community crisis affecting everyone nearby. Each car that speeds unchecked on these roads is a potential disaster-in-waiting. We have witnessed vehicles vault over curbs, heard the sharp screech of sudden brakes, and seen the shattered glass of vehicular collisions litter the streets. When kids can’t safely play in their own yards or we are afraid to take a leisurely walk, something must change. We demand it.
San Antonio City officials need to take immediate and concrete action to safeguard Drake and Brazos streets. By installing speed bumps and four-way stop signs, we can significantly slow down the traffic and prevent further accidents. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) studies reveal that speed bumps and stop signs can reduce accidents by over 30%, a necessity for this area to protect not just homes, but lives.
The city has an obligation to ensure the safety of its residents, and we need urgent remedial measures. We know San Antonio takes pride in being a community-oriented city that prioritizes the safety and well-being of its inhabitants. This is your chance, city officials, to prove your commitment to this principle.
Let’s prevent future tragedies, costly property damage, and most importantly, safeguard lives by making it mandatory to construct speed bumps and four-way stop signs at this perilous intersection. Help us by signing this petition urging the San Antonio City Council to implement these necessary traffic-safety enhancements. Together, we can make Drake and Brazos streets a safer place for all.
