Install Speed Bumps in the Pleasant Grove Neighborhood to Protect Our Community
Residents of the Pleasant Grove neighborhood are asking Greenville County officials to take immediate action to address the ongoing and dangerous speeding problem in our community.
For years, vehicles have regularly driven through our neighborhood at unsafe speeds. Despite multiple concerns raised by residents, there has been little to no enforcement or traffic calming measures implemented. The lack of action has left families, children, pedestrians, pets, and cyclists at serious risk.
Pleasant Grove is a residential neighborhood where people walk, children play, and families enjoy being outside. However, excessive speeding has made our streets unsafe and stressful for those who live here.
Many residents have contacted the Greenville Police Department over the years, but the speeding problem continues without a long-term solution. While law enforcement presence can help temporarily, it does not stop the ongoing issue.
Speed bumps are a proven and effective traffic-calming measure used in residential neighborhoods across the country. They naturally slow vehicles down and help prevent reckless driving, making streets safer for everyone.
We are requesting that Greenville County officials work with our community to install speed bumps or other appropriate traffic calming measures in the Pleasant Grove neighborhood.
According to neighborhood requirements, at least 75% of residents must support the installation of speed bumps for the request to move forward. This petition will demonstrate that our community stands together in asking for safer streets.
Our goal is simple:
Protect our children, protect our families, and make Pleasant Grove safe again.
We respectfully ask Greenville County officials to listen to the voices of the residents and take the necessary steps to implement speed-reducing measures.
Why is this important?
Why This Is Important
The Pleasant Grove neighborhood is home to families, children, and residents who deserve to feel safe on the streets where they live. Unfortunately, excessive speeding has become a serious and ongoing problem in our community. Vehicles frequently travel through the neighborhood at dangerous speeds, creating constant safety risks for pedestrians, children playing outside, people walking their dogs, and families simply trying to enjoy their neighborhood.
This issue has been brought to the attention of local authorities over the years, but the speeding continues without a permanent solution. Without traffic-calming measures in place, the danger remains every single day.
Speed bumps are a simple and proven way to slow traffic in residential areas. They help protect the most vulnerable members of our community and encourage drivers to respect neighborhood speed limits.
Taking action now is about preventing accidents before they happen. Installing speed bumps will help ensure that Pleasant Grove remains a safe place for families to live, children to play, and neighbors to walk without fear of speeding vehicles.
Our community should not have to wait for a tragedy to occur before meaningful action is taken.
