As a resident of Troy, NY, I am deeply concerned about the issues we face due to basketball games being played in our alleyways and roads. Our community is struggling with access to garages and properties because these areas are often blocked by basketball games. Furthermore, property damage has become a common occurrence as balls stray from their intended path.

This isn't just an inconvenience; it's a matter of safety and respect for personal property. According to the National Safety Council, street play is responsible for numerous accidents each year across America (National Safety Council). We need regulations that prioritize our safety over recreational convenience.

We propose that the city council enact legislation prohibiting the installation of basketball hoops in alleyways or roads within Troy. This will not only reduce property damage but also enhance accessibility for all residents.

Your signature can make a difference. Let's work together to make our streets safer and more accessible for everyone in Troy, NY. Please sign this petition today!
