Answer:

d. A car-free Parkway Ave would allow kids to safely ride their bicycles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a powerful reason as it makes an emotional appeal to the neighbors. By mentioning the kids' safety they will associate this issue to their own children, although it sounds wrong, a lot of decisions are made considering our own benefit. This is an action that will benefit the majority as kids are high valued to society and almost everyone has them. Reducing the chances of them having an accident is a powerful reason to call to action.
