There is one of these signs on a street I ride on my commute, and I actually think it does make cars aware
of a crosswalk from a further distance away. Some municipalities have signs that say 'enforced by fine',
or something along those lines.

They usually have a time set aside for public comments. You should attend a few meetings to see how they 'flow'.
In my experience, it is also a good idea to have something prepared when speaking, rather than ad libbing it.
You should still write a letter, to help organize your argument, and send it to the newspaper.
