What the petition asks
Residents are advocating for a transition from manual operation to an automatic system at the Whitehall Road railroad crossing.
Addressing concerns about safety & efficiency, transitioning to an automatic system at the crossing would also help alleviate issues related to waste collection & postal services. This leads to delays and potential disruptions in mail delivery & waste collection.We need a more streamlined & reliable crossing system.
An automatic crossing, residents anticipate smoother safer traffic flow, accessibility for waste collection vehicles and postal. This would Improve our environment & life.
