To: Mayor of Murrieta, everyone and Alan Long, Mayor
Magnolia Street Speed Humps
The citizens of Murrieta are requesting that speed humps be installed in the school zone between Jefferson Ave and Washington Ave. Dangerous and excessive speeds have become an obvious danger for residents and pedestrians in this area.
Why is this important?
It is not uncommon daily for one to witness forty plus vehicles accelerating to speeds three times the legal posted speed limit of 25MPH in this area. The small residential street is used as a pipe line between the other two major streets feeding Murrieta Valley High School. Children walk down this two lane street every afternoon in large groups laughing and conversing with a false sense of security. This petition has been created in hopes the City of Murrieta will take pride in its ability to protect these children by creating "safe zones" within residential streets just a few hundred feet of their schools.
