Safer Streets Through Design & Community Voice

The 2025 Petition was submitted. What happens now?

Since its submittal, the Petition has gained City support through the inclusion of the Sherry Dr Traffic Calming Project the City Commission FY2026-27 Strategic Priorities.

Next, the City will need to identify project specifics- but that is in process. Every voice has impact! Reach out to your Commissioner or attend a City Commission meeting.

Originating as a tool for facilitating community and City support, the 2025 Petition endeavors to align Sherry Drive’s design with how it is actually used every day. Proven, physical design strategies such as speed tables, raised crossings, curb extensions, and other traffic calming measures can help slow traffic, improve visibility, and create a safer, more predictable environment for everyone, including drivers and emergency responders. These are are widely used tools that help streets function safely in active, community-oriented settings.

A Place for (little) People

We have an opportunity to rebalance our streets so they reflect a people-first environment. In Atlantic Beach, everyone should feel safe simply crossing the street.

Sherry Drive serves children and families every day, especially with nearby schools like ABE and CPC.
