brightline has already killed 60 people- this increase in speed will kill many more. Our neighborhoods are too densely populated for a train going at this speed.

This is the 2nd time I tried to sign the petition and was red lettered with fallacious reasons as invalidated.

Too many deaths already. Why is this train going through the middle of Stuart? These trains need to be rerouted to the west of town where there is more open space and less congestion.

It’s not a good idea.

Whose "bright" idea was it to run high speed trains on existing tracks running through already congested areas?

These high speed trains need to be further West, not in the middle of towns.

Train will kill many when it derails with no barier between tracks and houses in Hobe Sound and Jensen Beach. 110 is just too fast.

No one I know in Martin County wants this, it’s unsafe and with over 68 people killed so far how many are needed??

The amount of people I see stopping in the train tracks in downtown Stuart is staggering. It’s old people and tourists that don’t know how to navigate getting into and out of downtown. This going to end badly, quickly.

Governor: It is not too late to correct former Governor Scott's dangerous neglect of this issue. The passenger model is a joke, the freight usage is the economic reason. End the unnecessary deaths and disruption of millions of lives (voters) on the Treasure Coast.

Given the above-average age of so many residents who live close to the planned train line, I fear there are many tragic accidents that will occur. Not a good picture that will make its way to national news and unfriendly commentators.

Total misuse of a Federal program all to increase the value of a private equity firm’s properties at great expense to communities and their residents!!!!

The speed of Brightline 2 with the number of trains per day equals deadly combination for the citizens of the Treasure and Space Coasts. Studies should be completed before people start getting killed.
