#SlowDownWalnutCreek is About Neighbors Coming Together In Community To Raise Awareness About Speeding In Our Neighborhoods
Residents Concerned About Speeding in Walnut Creek
Many of us in Walnut Creek have noticed a growing challenge: cars moving too quickly through our neighborhoods. While our city leaders and police are working hard every day to keep our community safe, we know real change will come when neighbors also join together to raise awareness and support one another.
This is about more than rules and enforcement — it’s about protecting the places we call home.
The Heart of the Issue
Speeding through residential streets puts everyone at risk — especially children, seniors, and pedestrians. Too often, we don’t even realize we’re driving too fast until something makes it painfully obvious. These are not just streets — they are the spaces where our families live, play, and connect.
How We Can Make a Difference Together
We believe solutions will come from a mix of community spirit and partnership with city leadership. Instead of relying only on costly or burdensome traffic measures, we can tap into our shared creativity and care for one another. Here are some ways to help:
Add your voice by signing our petition — a friendly way to show city leaders this issue matters deeply to our neighborhoods.
Share reminders and stories on social media using #SlowDownWalnutCreek to spread awareness.
Use the SeeClickFix app to report when trees or other obstructions block stop signs or crosswalks.
Start a conversation with your neighbors — the more people who talk about this, the stronger our message becomes.
Support and attend local events focused on pedestrian safety and community awareness.
City leaders are listening, and together with grassroots efforts, we can create calmer, safer streets.
