Melrose Park SEPTA Fence Petition

Last posted 5-17-01 b

(Note: This petition was approved, as amended, by the Melrose Park Neighbors Association general meeting held on March 13, 2001.)

We, the undersigned residents of Cheltenham Township and its environs, in order
to protect the health, safety and welfare of our citizens in general, and our children in
particular, do hereby petition the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority
(SEPTA), to erect and maintain a fence on Mill Road in Melrose Park between
Montgomery Avenue and Valley Road to:

1) protect our children who walk to and from Myers Elementary school.

2) serve as a preventative barrier to ensure that motor vehicles and pedestrians will not continue to have unfettered access to the SEPTA railroad tracks that parallel Mill Road between Montgomery Avenue and Valley Road in
Melrose Park.

Said access presents a clear and present danger to motor vehicles traveling
in a Southerly direction of Mill Road and serves as an attractive nuisance to pedestrians
in general, and children in particular, in the aforesaid area.

We feel it is imperative that SEPTA take immediate action in order to prevent a
potential catastrophic event from occurring.
