Petition for the Installation of Street Lights in New Road, Gabi, Cordova

To the Local Government of Cordova, Cebu, and Concerned Authorities,

We, the undersigned residents and concerned individuals, urgently call for the installation of street lights along New Road, Gabi, Cordova, Cebu. This area remains dangerously dark at night, posing significant safety risks to pedestrians, motorists, and the community as a whole.

The lack of proper lighting has led to increased risks of accidents, crime, and general unease among residents, especially students, workers, and senior citizens who frequently pass through the area. Street lights are essential for crime prevention, road safety, and overall community well-being.

We respectfully urge the local government and relevant agencies to take immediate action by:

  1. Conducting an assessment of the area’s lighting needs.
  2. Allocating funds for the installation of durable and energy-efficient street lights.
  3. Ensuring regular maintenance to keep the lights functioning properly.
By signing this petition, we express our strong support for this initiative and seek the prompt attention of authorities. Let’s work together to make New Road, Gabi, a safer and more secure place for everyone!

Sign this petition and let’s light up our community!

Why is this important?

Installing street lights in New Road, Gabi, Cordova, Cebu is important for several reasons:

  1. Safety for Pedestrians and Motorists – Poor lighting increases the risk of accidents, especially for people walking or riding motorcycles and bicycles at night. Street lights help prevent collisions and falls by improving visibility.

  2. Crime Prevention – Dark areas can become hotspots for criminal activities such as theft, assault, and vandalism. Adequate lighting deters crime and makes residents feel safer when commuting or walking at night.

  3. Community Well-being – Proper lighting enhances peace of mind among residents, particularly students, workers, and elderly individuals who frequently pass through the area after dark.

  4. Economic and Social Benefits – Well-lit streets encourage more local activity at night, benefiting small businesses and making the community more lively and connected.

  5. Disaster Preparedness – In times of emergencies, such as floods or accidents, street lights help emergency responders navigate the area more efficiently.

By installing street lights, we can significantly improve the quality of life in the community while reducing risks and enhancing security for everyone.
