Analysis of problem By: Jared Bonina
This shows how we have a problem and must figure out a solution.
For a while now Westfield citizens/residents have been arguing with the town about its traffic problem and it is a serious problem. Whenever citizens drive downtown there is always a traffic jam and which is delaying us to get to our destinations. Local resident Dale Beyert who is a member of the Westfield Jazz Band told me that one time he was running late to his rehearsal and because of traffic he was more than twenty minutes late when it takes less than five minutes to get there from his home. Resident Neil Becker also said that because of the downtown traffic especially on Central Avenue he was late to the premier of Finding Nemo 3D and missed the whole beginning of the movie. Also another problem with traffic is in the morning for Westfield high school and Edison Middle school is the crossing guards who are directing the traffic when there not legally allowed to and doing it anyway. Every morning hundreds of adults complain about how the crossing guard by the high school is taking forever to get each car moving and he lets one lane go at a time of three lanes of packed cars, also having to cross children. About five months ago our crossing guard was not able to stop an upcoming car that could not see from the glare and Aditiya Singh and Christopher Gaskill were run over, the two were fine but this is a problem with the traffic.
I believe traffic in our community is a serious problem because citizens are not able to get to there destinations in time and very late. Also this problem is very widespread because all over the nation from New York City to Los Angeles. This problem should be handled by the government because this problem has lead to car crashes and serious injures all over the nation. Also our community should take a look into fixing this traffic problem, not just the national government because we need to fix and support our own responsibilities on being safe drivers. Currently there is no law dealing with this problem with traffic and should be a law. No this is not adequate and it is not being well unforced in our society.
Some disagreements in Westfield are that they think our crossing guards and the traffic are just fine when there not. Some major individuals that have taken a side to this problem are students Aditiya Singh and Christopher Gaskill also other citizens in Westfield. Their positions in this problem is that one day in front of Edison Middle School there was a lot of traffic and the drivers were having a lot of trouble concentrating with everything around them and then one car wasn't paying attention and the women accidentally hit Christopher Gaskill and Aditiya Singh. an advantage to this cause was that now drivers are paying more attention and new safety precautions have been taken place but the disadvantages is that there still is a lot of traffic caused and maybe one day the same thing or worse can accidentally happen. How these people are trying to influence the government is by stating their story and others in this town and hope that the government will realize something is very wrong with the traffic.
The Government agencies responsible for dealing with this problem is the traffic safety administration of the national government and currently they are not doing anything about it because they believe its not an important problem when it clearly is when people are getting hurt and their vehicles getting ruined. I believe if the government even decides to take a small look into this problem then there can be a solution and the roads safer. Our national and local government if looked into can really fix this problem if they only tried.
