I am honestly stunned to share that the plans for the new street lights are moving forward. This outcome belongs entirely to you because I never imagined we could move the needle this far. We will keep an eye on the construction process to make sure the work gets done …

So the Jags for Justice Group at John Paul II CSS in London, ON, thought of this idea. we have looked at Cheapside and McNay where Shane Cullion and Anthony Zettler were involved in an accident. We have concluded that street lights are an issue and there are not enough to offer the best safety for Londoners. With this petition we are hoping to get something started to improve the safety around that area. Our school nurse, Jane Berardini is currently involved with Sir John A. MacDonald to ask parents if safety for their children is one of their concerns in that area. We have already met with Greg Fowler (posted his interest in helping out our school on Rest In Sweet Peace Shane Cullion, facebook page), he informed us how difficult it would be to convince City Hall to improve the safety. Because installing new traffic lights and possibly another sidewalk could raise the property tax for the residents in that area, we must build a strong case that cannot be turned down. We hope that all of you agree with our decision, and we hope to have your full support. Thanks Everyone, if there are any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, Marie Darconza, on facebook.

Seeing the growth of this movement has been completely overwhelming and I am truly in awe of the attention this keeps receiving. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I never imagined our small request would reach so many people who care about safety.

I used to drive that road all the time and it is pitch black. Terrible tragedy, way past time for lights.
