π« Say NO to Excessive Salt on Our Sidewalks! π«
We believe our Homeowners Association (HOA) can make a difference by reevaluating the use of salt on our sidewalks, especially when it comes to managing snow. Salt can wreak havoc on our sidewalks, creating unsightly pits and damaging our beautiful green spaces. Let's put a stop to it!
Why We Need Your Support:
*Sidewalk Damage:* The current use of salt has led to noticeable damage, causing pits and cracks in our sidewalks.
*Environmental Impact:* Excessive salt use is harmful to the environment. It lingers in our soil, affecting grass and plants, and can even find its way into our local waterways.
*Pet Safety:* Our furry friends are part of our community, and we've witnessed firsthand the harm salt crystals can cause. A neighbor's dog developed an abscess due to trapped salt in its paws.
*Improper Distribution:* The salt is often applied in piles, not evenly spread across the area. This creates eyesores and, worse, sits on our concrete for weeks.
A Solution We Can All Get Behind: π€
If there are concerns about liability or safety, we propose using sand for traction instead of salt. Sand is an environmentally friendly alternative that effectively tackles slippery surfaces without the negative consequences associated with salt.
π By signing this petition, you are making a statement for a healthier, more environmentally conscious community! Let's pave the way for positive change together. π±β€οΈ

Signing this petition asks the HOA to change salt to sand in snow conditions on both sidewalks and the alleyways.
