Thalia is writing a letter to the city council in her town. There is a vacant lot in her town, and some people want to turn it into a parking lot. Thalia thinks the lot should be turned into a skate park. In an outline she creates to plan her letter, she lists the following reasons:
Reason 1: There is no safe place in town for kids to skateboard or roller-skate.
Reason 2: Adults are always saying that kids need to get more exercise.
Reason 3: Another parking lot would just increase traffic downtown.
Which piece of evidence could Thalia use to support Reason 3?

Many people ride the bus or walk to the shops downtown, but a parking lot would encourage people to drive instead of using these more environmentally friendly methods of transportation.

Skateboarding is a fun activity that can be very dangerous without proper safety gear and adult supervision.

Most health-care professionals recommend that kids get at least a half an hour of physical exercise most days of the week, but many children fall short of this benchmark.
