Dear Sir/ Madam, I am writing to provide my opinion about stopping vehicular traffic on city center roads. I saw an article in the newspaper that the suggestion, which is include vehicle restriction, has been discussed during the last meeting, which was held at the city council. In further, many people who live in our area discuss critically of this new plan. Then, it is a famous topic among city community. If the proposal happens, it will affect to people who ride bicycles and travel on foot positively because they can commute without any safety precautions. Moreover, air pollution of the town will be reduced since low percentage of CO2 and other toxins, which are included in emission of vehicles. I believed that it is more proactive approach in order to deal with road accidents and environmental issues in city roads. Last year, many accidents have been reported due to high volumes of vehicles that travel daily basis. However, I think, it might stop completely in the future because of this new policy. Yours faithfully, Malinda Amunugama.
