To: Richard J. Berry, Mayor of Albuquerque and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham
Extremely & Dangerous School Zone
Dear Mayor Richard J. Berry
It has become an extremely dangerous and deadly situation for our kids to walk across the street to school. I am asking to please give some attention to our future generations of children who are almost being hit by careless and dangerous drivers each day. Not obeying the 20 mph limit (the school zone), not stopping for kids, going around the kids to not wait while kids are in the crosswalk, and kids risking being hit; they must run to make it across a 4 lane boulevard. The school I have witnessed most of this is in front of Cleveland MS, on Louisiana and Natalie. I am asking as a concerned citizen, as taxpayer, and also as a parent. Our kids, this generation doesn't deserve this. We need to do our part to slow down for these kids. 15 - 25 seconds doesn't hurt anyone for a possible future mayor or president. I would suggest the speed be lowered to 15 mph, a crossing guard, and if possible a constant police presence. Help with the success of our future generation be safe on their walk to receive their education.

Why is this important?
This petition is about a extremely dangerous school zone(s) in Albuquerque. Many drivers these days don't care about their speed or their driving skills. It's become so dangerous I've alerted the local media. I've got several drivers on video not obeying school zone limits, and careless driving to the point of children almost being hit by vehicles. I'm asking for support to go to our leaders of our great city, and ask "why do we not protecting our kids in the one zone they should be safe?"
