Thank you all for visiting this petition site.
We are 4th year nursing students in the UWO-Fanshawe collaborative program. As part of our fourth year political action project we have decided to advocate for public safety concerning the VIA Rail train crossing located on Third Street in London Ontario. As past Fanshawe Students and residents of Third Street we as a group feel that this crossing is dangerous to pedistrians and motorists, because this particular crossing lacks railway crossing arms. The Via rail trains that travel on these tracks cross this street at very high speeds and the flashing lights in place, are not sufficient to make people aware.
If you feel that this is a concern, we urge you to sign this petition in order to increase community concern to show the City of London that this is an issue, and crossing arms need to be instituted to make this crossing safer for everyone.
We have been reviewing the personal accounts regarding near misses at the Third Street crossing. These accounts confirm the urgent need for enhanced safety measures at this location. We are currently compiling this documentation to present to the City of London.

The reach of this petition has surpassed my initial expectations. It is encouraging to see that so many residents agree that the current safety measures at the Third Street crossing are inadequate.

About time someone spoke up about this. That train moves way to fast to just having some lights. Dangerous.

My kids walk to school near there. It makes me so nervous every time they leave the house. Please put the gates in.

I drive across these tracks every day for work and it is scary. Lights are not enough when the sun is in your eyes. Need arms!

Lived on 3rd for 5 years and have seen way too many people running the lights. Get the crossing arms up asap.
