The Issue

Every day, as I walk along Avenue W, it breaks my heart to see the remains of innocent animals that have been tragically run over and killed by speeding vehicles. The stretch from 19th Street to 34th Street has become a dangerous race track, where drivers neglect the safety and peace of our community. Our furry friends are losing their lives senselessly, and it's time to act to prevent further unnecessary loss.

This area, likely part of our vibrant city, is not just a pathway for vehicles. It is home to many families and a diverse array of wildlife that deserves protection. The lack of stop signs allows inattentive drivers to speed with little regard for the wellbeing of residents and animals alike. Implementing stop signs along this route will undoubtedly ensure the safety of pedestrians and the preservation of local wildlife, giving community members peace of mind.

Statistics show that the presence of stop signs can significantly reduce vehicle speeds by limiting continuous motion, thus decreasing the likelihood of accidents. By installing these necessary stop signs, we can transform Avenue W into a safer space for everyone. It is a simple yet effective solution to a dire problem. Let's urge our local traffic authorities and city council to take immediate action.

Please join me in this call for change by signing this petition. Your signature can make a significant difference in safeguarding our community and protecting wildlife. Act now for a safer Avenue W!
