Our neighborhood has been desperately seeking help against reckless driving and speeding along South Kingsboro Avenue in Gloversville, NY. We are reaching out for your support because this problem impacts our everyday lives profoundly. Recently, a beloved family pet lost her life due to speeding vehicles, and we want to prevent any further tragedies from occurring. Our area is home to young children, seniors, and families with pets, all of whom deserve to feel safe in their community.

The stretch from Wells Street to NY-30A has seen numerous motor vehicle accidents and several near misses involving pedestrians. It's a matter of time before the reckless driving leads to a loss of human life. Despite our repeated requests for help from the city of Gloversville, the issue remains unresolved. We are living in fear, and it's simply not acceptable.

We propose that an immediate reduction in speed limits is implemented to deter speeding and enhance safety along South Kingsboro Avenue. Furthermore, we call for increased police presence in the area to issue traffic tickets and enforce these speed limits rigorously. This measure will not only hold reckless drivers accountable but will also act as a deterrent for others who may think of ignoring traffic rules.

Currently, there are no visible efforts to enforce existing speed limits or curb reckless driving behaviors. It's essential that we act now to protect our residents and restore peace to our neighborhood. Our children attend an elementary school just down the road; their safety should never be compromised.

Sign this petition today to advocate for the safety of our neighborhood. Together, we can urge the authorities to take immediate and decisive action to mitigate the risk of further accidents and prevent a potential tragedy.
