The lack of sidewalks on the 1/2 mile stretch of Holt Rd. from Lower Roswell to Eastover Ct. presents a significant safety hazard for pedestrians - particularly children attending East Cobb Middle and Wheeler High School - who walk that section of road daily.

With cars routinely traveling well in excess of the speed limit, blind corners and treacherous shoulders, the likelihood of a significant accident or injury on this stretch is very high.

We, the parents of ECMS and WHS students and citizens of the area surrounding this stretch of road, are petitioning The Cobb County Government to prioritize the installation of sidewalks, additional guard rails and a permanent "speed warning" sign along this stretch of road in order to insure the safety of our children, of the drivers and of the homes in that corridor.
