Many new families with children have recently moved onto our street in Stamford, CT. As our neighborhood blossoms with youthful energy, it becomes increasingly clear how essential it is for our roads to be safe and secure. Each day, children eagerly take to the streets on their bikes and scooters, excited to explore the area and make lifelong memories with their friends. However, the condition of our roads poses a risk to their safety and wellbeing. 

It has been over 20 years since these roads were last repaved. Over time, they have deteriorated, with cracks, potholes, and uneven surfaces becoming more prevalent. These imperfections not only make it dangerous for children playing, but also challenging for drivers and pedestrians. In their current state, our roads jeopardize the safety of our community and hinder the overall quality of life in our neighborhood.

In Stamford, CT, we have an opportunity to make a significant positive impact by repaving these neglected roads. This improvement will ensure a safe environment for our children, facilitate smoother transportation, and uplift the quality of our neighborhood.

Personal experience - The sound of summer fun turned into a cry for help when a gaping pothole on our street claimed my nine-year-old son on his scooter. He was enjoying a beautiful day when the sudden, deep hole threw him to the pavement, leaving him with a nasty gash on his hand. This wasn't a minor scrape; this was a significant injury that required more than a simple bandage.

The solution is clear and actionable: allocate funds and resources for the immediate repaving of our roads. These improvements are essential for maintaining our neighborhood as a safe and inviting place for families and community members.

By signing this petition, you support the needs of Stamford’s families and advocate for safer, better-maintained roads. Together, we can ensure our community thrives and remains a welcoming environment for all. Please, lend your voice to this cause and help us bring about much-needed change.
