MISSION STATEMENT:
Citizens for a Safer Community is committed to developing solutions to traffic issues affecting city residents in order to improve the area's quality of life as well as to strengthen the community's economic viability.
PETITION PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Petition is to support the efforts of Citizens for a Safer Community in developing alternate routes for pass-through heavy truck traffic. Signed petitions will be presented to the Allegan City Council with a request to adopt a Resolution authorizing the Michigan Department of Transportation to implement such alternate routes. There are NO expected tax increases associated with this petition.
Trucks making local deliveries will not be affected. Pass through heavy trucks add NOTHING to the economy or viability of Allegan.
PLEASE NOTE: ANYONE, living, working, or with a vested interest in the Allegan Area may sign this petition, including YOUTH (students in third grade or higher).
The feedback from local business owners confirms that heavy pass-through traffic continues to disrupt our streets. We are currently finalizing the documented evidence regarding these traffic flows to present to the City Council. Your contributions remain essential as we prepare for the official hearing.
August 25, 2009
The momentum behind this petition highlights a collective desire to improve the safety and quality of life within our city. This progress confirms that the need for alternate routes for heavy truck traffic resonates deeply with those who live and work in the area.

Stop the trucks. They dont buy anything here and they destroy the roads we have to pay to fix.
