DEAR NEIGHBORS, THIS IS A PETITION THAT WILL HOPEFULLY GET A RESPONSE FROM THOSE IN AUTHORITY IN THE 3 DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE BEING APPEALED TO FOR REDRESS OF AN ONGOING AND SERIOUS NEIGHBORHOOD PROBLEM. PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION SO THAT OUR OFFICIALS WILL KNOW THAT WE ARE UNITED IN OUR CONCERN. THANK YOU. PLEASE SIGN IT SO I CAN SEND THIS TO OUR LOCAL CITY OFFICIALS. WE CAN DO THIS!

Dear Ms. LaFave, Director of Syracuse Parks and Recreation Dept.; City of Syracuse Chief of Police Buckner, and Mayor Ben Walsh: This petition is being sent to your respective offices in the hopes that if we present our collective concerns to you, we will be heard.

Individual phone calls or emails seem to have proven ineffective thus far. We are your neighbors, your fellow citizens, your constituents. Please listen to our petition as we collectively ask you to not only monitor the cameras that we trust have been placed in Elmwood Park, but to take action to solve the illegal and dangerous operation of dirt bikes in the park. The illegal and dangerous operation of dirt bikes has also been an ongoing problem on the streets and sidewalks of the greater Strathmore Neighborhood, the South Ave. Neighborhood that borders Elmwood Park, and streets around Corcoran High Shool. We are very concerned for the safety of our children and pets while we are lawfully and respectfully enjoying Elmwood Park. We are equally concerned for the safety of our families in our own front yards, sidewalks, and driveways when the operators of these illegal vehicles are racing through our neighborhoods. Please let us know what you intend to do in order to address our very serious concerns. We thank you in advance for your attention and as we anticipate your timely responses. Respectfully, your fellow Syracusans,
