I <br /> PETITION FOR SAFE STREETS IN THE CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br /> We would like to bring to the attention of the City of Centerville Public Works <br /> Department, the desperate need for an upgrading and resurfacing of our neighborhood <br /> streets. <br /> As you are probably aware of the numerous injuries incurred by the children of our city <br /> due to the current surface materials used on our streets, we would like to elaborate on <br /> these concerns and our desires for an immediate improvement: <br /> - Many of our children have been hurt repeatedly on these rocks. <br /> - There are many families with young children in our neighborhood, some of these <br /> children/toddlers have not yet fully developed their coordination skills, making <br /> them even more susceptible to injuries while engaging in play - for some of these <br /> kids, even walking on this surface can result in major injury trauma. <br /> - These families have chosen to build on this cul -de -sac street partially because of <br /> the safety for our children and the fact that it is a non - through traffic location. <br /> Although it may be pointed out that it is a safety issue to allow our kids to play in <br /> the street, there are certain activites in which there are no other areas in which to <br /> do so; learning to ride a bike, skateboarding, roller skating, etc. <br /> - We believe that for the taxes we as homeowners in Anoka County are paying, <br /> the city should budget for safe materials for our streets and allow the residents to <br /> have an impact on the materials chosen. <br /> d— i ' rtht.V � <br /> CO • <br /> LC a�. - t <br /> fRCL 111 tip • <br /> ., tJ tt.uQt Gam' <br /> awn, • <br /> \J A I A -N I <br />
