Who is impacted?
Families, children, seniors, and pedestrians in the Mandarin Road community are directly impacted by the lack of a safe sidewalk. Every day, parents worry as their children walk or bike along a busy road without dedicated pedestrian space. Residents who rely on walking for mobility—including those with disabilities—are forced to share the road with cars, creating a dangerous situation for everyone.

What is at stake?
If we allow misinformation to derail this already-approved project, we risk continuing the unsafe conditions that put lives at risk. The sidewalk project has been carefully reviewed and supported by city leaders, with plans in place to protect trees and the character of the neighborhood. Backing down now would undermine the democratic process and deny our community the safety and accessibility it deserves.

Why is now the time to act?
Now is the moment to speak up—for safety, for truth, and for progress. The decision has been made, but vocal opposition threatens to stall or reverse it. We must show our city council members that the silent majority stands with them. Sign this petition to support the sidewalk, protect our children, and keep Mandarin Road moving forward.
