Growing up in Goshen, CA, I witnessed firsthand the struggles our community faces due to inadequate infrastructure. As a long-time resident, I've seen how our town's lack of basic amenities like proper street lighting, sidewalks, and stop signs has impacted our daily lives, making it difficult for our children and the elderly to move around safely. Many of our streets are left in the dark without adequate street lights, leaving children vulnerable when returning home from school activities, or simply playing outside. Sidewalks are a rarity, and without them, pedestrians are forced to navigate dangerous roadways amidst traffic. The railroad in our town stands as a particular safety concern. Without a designated pedestrian crossing, it poses a unique hazard, especially for the elderly who may rely on electric scooters or wheelchairs. Our children's safety is further compromised by the absence of well-lit, designated bus stops. These basic necessities are overlooked, denying our kids a safe and secure place to wait for school transportation. Additionally, our parks lack essential facilities like restrooms, leaving children without a place to meet basic health needs while they play. It is heart-breaking to feel as though Goshen residents don't deserve what others often take for granted. Our community's well-being should be a priority. We demand that local authorities address these concerns immediately by installing street lights, constructing sidewalks, introducing more stop signs, and creating a proper pedestrian crossing at the railroad. Sign this petition to urge Goshen city officials to take swift action in providing our community with the infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of its residents. It's time to make our town a safer place for everyone.
