Limit Patullo Bridge to a Single Lane and Install Concrete Barriers Until New Bridge is Operational.
Why this petition matters
The ever-increasing fatalities at the Patullo bridge are deeply personal to me, as I have witnessed too many heart-wrenching fatalities in recent months. Safety measures are urgently required to curb this escalating tragedy. Consequently, we propose to reduce the Patullo bridge down to one lane and to add concrete middle lane barriers until the new bridge has been opened. Multiple studies prove that highway lane reduction along with the introduction of concrete barriers significantly reduces the chance of head-on collisions and consequently, the risk for fatal accidents. Given these findings, it is crucial to implement these measures on the Patullo bridge without delay. By signing this petition, you will help us illustrate the public's demand for immediate safety measures to prevent further lives from being unjustly taken on Patullo bridge.
