SCHOOL ZONES
VOTE YES! FOR SCHOOL ZONES
Why is this important?
Cities of Albany and El Cerrito do not have school zones in their municipal codes, so there is currently a huge lack of funding, safety and attention to the schools and their community... School zones are here to ensure the safety of our kids while walking or biking to and from school. School Zones help build a healthier community by encouraging families to bike or walk safely to and from school using suggested "Safe Routes To School" using Crossing Guards and "Complete Sidewalks" During School hours speed limit 15 MPH because we are trying to make it safer, any speed faster would be too fast to slow or stop resulting in running over your kid. Speed bumps on School streets. Double fine in school zones helps raise $ for the city and makes it safer for our kids crossing the street, cost mutual solution. High visibility school signs are a very efficient way to spend money.
School zones will be funded by the state as soon as School Zones" are put in the city "municipal code book" school zones will create jobs by funding the hiring of many "crossing guards" and hundreds of thousands of dollars for high visible signs. School zones also makes guns drugs and tobacco illegal on school property oup to 1000 feet away. all this is here to protect our kids & our future, safer routes to school, slower traffic around schools, allows proper street signs for school to be put in place, for high visibility crosswalks and bike lanes.
I wrote a letter to Jerry Brown last year and he wrote back and said there is money waiting for the city if they add the school zone in their code book, and this is probably something that was just overlooked not realizing they don't exist in the code book. the city hall told me they don't have money to put up signs or to hire additional crossing guards, I shared with them that if they add them the state will fund all of that.. the city is missing out and also new this year the "Pedestrian Safety Act California" came out and I am probably the most excited person on the planet right now. soon it will be safer for all pedestrians to feel safe crossing the street, because not one crosswalk is any more important than another! It also creates a better local economy if more people feel safer to walk around the city to eat or shop, which in turn creates a healthier, and greener community by walking or biking instead of driving. I am a male with no kids in the school system, so I am not a powerful voice at the city hall, need all your help to make this possible.
