Three weeks ago, a resident of Tall Grass, Naperville was run over by a car. This unfortunate incident could have been avoided if the driver was not excessively speeding in our residential area. The victim survived but had to be rushed into intensive care - an ordeal no one should have to go through.

Our neighbourhoods are meant to be safe spaces for everyone - children playing on sidewalks, pedestrians walking their dogs, or residents jogging at dawn. However, the increasing incidents of dangerous and excessive speeding are turning our peaceful neighbourhoods into potential danger zones.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speed-related crashes cost Americans $40.4 billion each year. More importantly, they cost lives and cause unnecessary trauma for victims and their families.

In Naperville alone, there has been an alarming increase in such incidents over the past few years. This is not just about numbers; it's about real people whose lives are being affected due to reckless driving habits.

We urge local authorities in Naperville, IL to increase police patrols in our neighbourhoods as a deterrent against excessive speeding. We believe that this measure can significantly reduce speed-related accidents and make our streets safer for everyone.

Let's ensure that what happened three weeks ago does not happen again! Please sign this petition urging increased police presence in our neighbourhoods – because safety should never be compromised!
