I chose this piece because I wanted to send a protest letter to CTA about Kimball neighborhood. The purpose of this piece was to suggest how we can make a better neighborhood with more CTA buses in Kimball. I am proud of this piece because I can send the protest latter to CTA. I learned that fighting our enemy by brain and heart is the best way to win our enemy.

To whom it may concern,

Please accept this latter as a protest regarding the lack of CTA buses in the Kimball neighborhood, Chicago, IL.

When I wait for the only buses we have (Lawrence #81 & Kimball #82) besides the Brown Line, I see always many students and workers aslo waiting, at least 25 minutes.

I believe having more CTA buses would change our City and Chicagon’s life.

I believe we need to do what we can do, when we can do something good for many people.

More buses will:

  1. Save time for the students and workers;
  2. Make us feel safer; since we would not have to wait so much;
  3. Reduce the pollution, by saving money and the oil people would use on cars…
  4. Therefore, it would also help save our planet;
  5. Make people use better the time wasted on the road, since they would arrive quickly and do something else;
  6. Reduce traffic jams;
  7. Many elders will be able to go where they need to go;
  8. Reduce accidents;
  9. If someone has an accident, the ambulance will be able to arrive faster, because there will be less cars and traffic.

I believe that, in this particular case, the lack of CTA is the worst situation for all people who live in Chicago.

Sincerely,

A Friend
