Hello, my name is Javier. I live with epilepsy, I just recently got an electric scooter to help my commute to and from work. This morning I was pulled over by a police officer and told I had to ride my electric scooter on the sidewalk, however there is no sidewalk going over the over pass on road 68. I realize that our area is growing and I'm sure I'm not the only one that wishes there was a walkway going over the overpass. There are numerous commuters that go over that pass the including children. I think it's time for we as a community to come together and figure out a way for pedestrians to safely cross the road 68 overpass.
The feedback I have received confirms that many of you face the same danger when navigating the overpass on your daily commute. I am currently preparing a formal request for local planning officials to review the safety standards for this crossing. Your shared experiences provide the necessary context to demonstrate why this infrastructure is a pressing need for our community.

Seeing this conversation expand beyond my own daily commute suggests that many of you recognize the same hazards I face each day. It is encouraging to see our neighbors agree that the infrastructure on road 68 needs to account for those of us who travel without a car. This collective recognition is the first step toward creating a safer path for everyone in our community.

There should be a walkway connecting the residential areas south of the highway to the business areas north of the highway
