I am raising my voice out of concern for the safety of our community in Holly Hills, Campbell River, British Columbia. Every day, as I back out of my driveway on Park Road, I fear that I might get hit by a driver or bus speeding down Park Road.  I walk my dogs up up to Snowden and frequently encounter drivers who do not slow down for pedestrians. The excessive speeding along Park & Woodburn Road is more than just a nuisance; it's a threat to residents and visitors.  These streets are frequented by pedestrians walking their dogs, children playing, and cyclists enjoying our beautiful surroundings. 

Over the past few months, I've witnessed countless near-misses and dangerous encounters. It feels like only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs. The appropriate authorities must take swift action to prevent potential tragedies.

Statistics from the Campbell River RCMP show an alarming increase in speeding complaints in our area, with over 100 reports last year alone. This is not just a local issue but a growing concern throughout the city as traffic levels rise. However, by focusing on these two roads, we can set a precedent for safer streets city-wide.

One effective solution could be the installation of speed bumps along sections of Park and Woodburn Roads. Cities that have taken similar measures have seen reductions in speeding incidents by up to 60%. Additionally, more visible signage reminding drivers of the speed limit and increased enforcement by local police could drastically improve the situation.
