Dear Recipient name:

I am a long-time resident of our town, and I am writing to express my full support for the pending decision to remove the trees along the New Street corridor.

I understand that some in our community have voiced concern over the possibility of removing trees to enable street widening that will accommodate increasingly heavier traffic.

However, I am one of hundreds of citizens who have to drive down New Street each morning and evening as part of my daily commute. The traffic is already so heavy that I often spend 20 minutes on a stretch of road that spans less than five miles.

Commuters like me would benefit greatly. Not only would it shorten our working day, but we would also save money on fuel and the increased maintenance that a vehicle needs when driven regularly in heavy traffic.

Widening New Street so the traffic can flow more smoothly would also benefit others besides commuters. Local residents would benefit because the rush hours would be quieter and less congested. And everyone in our town would benefit from the increased growth and resulting improved economy that widening New Street would bring.

I urge you to move forward with the decision to remove the trees from New Street and widen the road to accommodate more traffic.

I am looking forward to your response!

Yours sincerely,

Your name
