Since Being a part of the neighborhood for the past 17 years, Three Rivers Baptist Church and the residents of the C. H. Piepenbrink Addition have been witnesses of 1-3 accidents per year on this particular corner. After closing the bridge on Roy St., the traffic on Lumbard has doubled. I believe this is a contributor to the amount of accidents we have experienced. Just Friday night, as we were sitting in our livinroom heard a collision. Believing that our car had been struck, we went outside to access the damage, we realized that the automobiles that collided fled the scene. The cause of this problem is the amount of cars driving at high speed down Lumbard St. One day someone is going to be seriously injured and we fear it might just be one of our children or grandchildren. Please help to add to the safety of our neighborhood and it's children. If you don't have any children then sign this petition for your properties. *Special Note: At 1:24pm As I was creating this online petition there was an accident on that very corner. I don't know why it happened, it just did. That makes the second accident in one week. How many more will happen before this petition gets granted? How many people will be injured ? Time Will Tell!
