Sign our petition requesting the installation by the city of streetlights in the neighborhood  

We, the residents of Lucerne, Rachel, Edward, Pierre-Lauzon and Gilmour request the installation of streetlights on these streets.  

Petition motive:

The absence of streetlights in the neighborhood is inconvenient for the residents for many reasons:

• Walking in the darkness on these streets is not safe.
• It is hard for car drivers to see the people walking or biking on the streets which makes it dangerous and risky to be outside when it’s dark. It is even more dangerous to walk in these streets because of the absence of sidewalks.
• The residents feel very insecure and in danger coming back home at night from work, school and their other occupation because of the limited visibility that increases the risk of falling and injury.
• Women and kids are very vulnerable in this neighborhood, they feel in danger accomplishing the basic activities like going to work and school or going for a walk or playing in the park in the evening.
• Dark streets are very appealing for criminal activities since criminals can't be seen or located.
• We live in the city and we want to be able to walk, bike and take the public transportation to go to work and school but coming back home in the evening represents a big challenge for us because the streets are dark. So for their safety, most people prefer to take their cars to travel which goes against the global environment vision that encourages reducing car usage.

We, the residents of these streets, consider that as citizens of the Roxboro-Pierrefonds borough we have the right to enjoy the basic installations like streetlights that would allow us to practice our activities outside in the evening without being afraid of getting hit by a car, falling or being attacked.

The installation of streetlights is mandatary to improve our quality of life in our neighborhood. We are all equal citizens and we deserve to have the same or similar installations as the rest of the population in the borough. Streetlights is one of the basic installations that the city must provide to allow its citizens to feel safe and free.
