Consider including this additional language:

1. Say something about your experience using Lyndale Avenue South. For example,
   • “I live on Lyndale Ave S, and I use it frequently to get to work, get groceries and go shopping. It is often a stressful experience because of speeding cars, frequent crashes and a lack of marked crosswalks.”
2. Support our ask for a clear timeline. For example, “I support Our Streets Minneapolis’ call for a public commitment on a planned start and end date for this 4 - 3 conversion.”
3. Here are some facts you can use to help make the case that this conversion needs to be done as soon as possible:
   • This safety treatment is very inexpensive.
   • The transformation can be carried out in a matter of days--usually less than a week.
   • This treatment can reduce crashes by up to fifty percent.
   • According to Hennepin County’s own data, traffic flow will improve or stay the same.
   • The longer we wait, the longer community members who live, work and play along the corridor are at increased risk.
