New Sidewalks

Our neighborhood needs sidewalks. It is dangerous and hard to get around without them. We can’t ride our bikes because our parents won’t let us ride in the road. We can’t use our in-line skates or skateboards either. In the winter, we can’t even walk to our friends’ houses because the snow piles up on the sides of the road. We are stuck playing in our own yards. Other neighborhoods have sidewalks, so we should, too.
