SAMPLE MESSAGE:
To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to express my strong support for the improvements being proposed by Desiree Douglass at the intersection of Stone Way North and North 43rd Street. These improvements would be funded through the Neighborhood Park and Street Fund.

(IN YOUR OWN WORDS, WHY YOU CARE ABOUT THIS INTERSECTION AND HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR FAMILY, BUSINESS, SCHOOL, ETC.) A PERSONAL STORY OF HOW THIS IMPROVEMENT WILL MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR YOU AND YOU FAMILY/COMMUNITY.

The intersection at 43rd and Stone Way is a key link on an existing greenway. It has the potential to safely connect children walking to school, people using local businesses, families and seniors taking walks or visiting the libraries and parks, and people using transit.

I urge you to support funding for a safer crossing at 43rd and Stone.

Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
