To: Request the City to install speed bumps/stop signs on Crockett Street
Stop high speeds & regulate traffic on Crockett Street
Tell the City of Houston we need their help in protecting our students and residents from high speeds on Crockett Street! We request installation of all or some of the following:
1. Speed bumps on Crockett St. approaching Crockett Elementary (to/from). Cars fly by at 30+ MPH past our young students.
2. Stop sign at Crockett St/Silver St- this is the halfway mark between Houston Ave and Sawyer St where car speeds peak and many accidents have occurred. This is also the main path taken by event goers and pedestrians walking between the two main art studios, Silver Street Studios & Summer Street Studios and other local businesses.

Why is this important?
Regulating traffic flow and speed is CRUCIAL in protecting our young students as well as neighborhood residents and pets. Traffic flow and speeds have increased due to the following:
1. There are currently ZERO speed bumps and/or stop signs on Crockett St between Houston Ave and Sawyer Rd, two major thoroughfares.
2. With school being primarily virtual for nearly a year now, speeds and traffic on Crockett St have increased significantly as there are no pick up lines or crosswalk guards to help regulate.
3. There has been a tremendous amount of new construction and development in the recent years where 1 house will be rebuilt into 3, densifying the neighborhood and increasing the number of residents (and cars driven).
4. The new network of art studios and local businesses has created a flourishing neighborhood with many attractions within walking distance. There are more pedestrians in the area now than ever before (especially on weekends when events are hosted at the studios)
5. There are THREE (3) new large apartment complexes with hundreds of units (completed and under construction) which continues to increase traffic even MORE.
6. There are multiple accidents that occur at the intersection of Sawyer Rd and Silver St, one of the main intersections between businesses, art studios and residences.
Let's get ahead of this problem now before something catastrophic happens to a young student or pedestrian. Tell the City of Houston that Crockett Street needs stop signs and speed bumps to regulate high speeds in this residential area. HOUSTON NEEDS TO HEAR YOUR VOICE!
