My neighbors and I regularly experience loss of property (and safety) due to reckless speeding on a long straightaway up the 5500 block of Redwood St. I have lost my parked car to speeding drivers twice in the last 5 years, representing a significant financial challenge. In that time my neighbors have lost vehicles, there have been multiple accidents, a retaining wall was smashed, and a power pole has been struck twice. These accidents are limited to incidents I have personally observed on the 5500 block alone, but our neighborhood has many more stories. There is an elementary school at the top of the block, and many in-home daycare businesses in the area. Please help keep our lives and our property safe by installing traffic calming measures on Redwood St., including speed bumps, extra stop signs, and bolder traffic signs.

TD Bank has been in the Bay Area for years. They have supported local nonprofit organizations with help in collecting donations for our neighborhood children and more. The residence has a place to deposit their incomes directly. Major banks have been closing in our local areas and have left an empty building in its place. We need to continue to support one another by keeping local businesses open in the neighborhood.

Many people in my neighborhood have dogs and would love a dog park closer. There is so much room at Olathe Lake.

To the members of the Nyack Village Hall: I am writing on behalf of continuous speeding issues happening on Gedney Street, as well as main St, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Street leading down to Gedney Street. I myself had a specific incident recently when a car came very close to hitting my dog and me while speeding down Fourth Avenue. I am pleased to see that new 25 mph signs were put up on Gedney, but the real truth is no one who is a reckless driver is going to pay attention to these signs. I am proposing that speed bumps be considered, as well as other helpful speed slowing techniques, such as narrowing Gedney Street and giving us the sidewalk we so desperately need, crossing lanes ( like the ones on Main St) and putting up electrical police signs that monitors speed on these roads. I have spoken to other neighbors who agree that the reckless driving in this area is getting out of hand. And with so few sidewalks, it makes it much more dangerous to walk on the road. I wanted to make this proposal to you with the hopes that the village will pay closer attention to what is happening in our community and make it safer for everyone. I am hoping to provide you with signatures from my neighbors to show unison around the changes we need. I am hoping my neighbors and I can advocate and participate to make the same changes possible. Again, thank you for your time and consideration on this important issue. I think we all want Nyack to remain a vibrant and safe place to reside. Sincerely, Erica Sobel and neighbors of Nyack ____________________________

A plan for a dog run next to the playground at the north end of Blackwell park is being pushed through without feedback from the community. Many parents are concerned that children actively playing around dogs poses a serious safety hazard. Furthermore, many children have dog phobias and their emotional, as well as physical safety, should count for something.

This petition is important so that the NYC agencies and all those involved, keep their promises made to the communities they represent, especially when the funding was to enhance the community well being.

For those of us who use Goldsby to get to our homes, adding commercial space this far north on Goldsby would create increased traffic and make the already unsafe intersection of 98 and Goldsby even more dangerous.

My cousin got into a bad wreck and lost her life. I don't want anyone else to be affected by this.

This petition is being initiated to encourage and promote the stoppage of the roundabout construction on 12 Street and Menaul. We already have a roundabout by the 4-H Park (Menaul/Indian School area). This roundabout has only created traffic nightmares and backups during rush hour times. It has created a dangerous blockage of a path for emergency medical response teams during that time, and it has created danger for pedestrians and bicyclists due to the fact that drivers do not yield at the entrance (and instead rush through the circle). This circle has also cost the city money due to the directional arrows being knocked down by some drivers. Please sign this petition to help us change the minds of the development of the roundabout.

Our neighborhood has become dangerous to walk through as people exceedingly drive over the speed limit on our roads. I can’t walk my baby in a stroller because many drivers speed and aren’t paying attention. We also have people who aren’t residents constantly cutting through the neighborhood. Since they don’t live here, they don't understand or respect the need for the safety of our children. Please help our neighborhood become safe!

We are starting this petition to gather community support to help us maintain the character of our long-established neighborhood.

Pleasanton city plans to reduce car lanes on a busy road to make way for permanent bike lanes. Yes, will cause big traffic bottlenecks.
