Our community in Chicago has experienced numerous drive-by shootings in the past few months, particularly affecting our local high school. The proposal to install another roadway in our residential neighborhood poses a significant risk as it could be used as a shortcut for criminal activities, including late-night drive-by shootings. This new road would not only disrupt the peace and safety of our area but also endanger the lives of our children and residents.

According to data from the Chicago Police Department, there has been an increase in violent crimes involving firearms in residential areas similar to ours. We cannot allow this new roadway to become another conduit for such dangerous activities.

Please join us in opposing this project and help protect our community by signing this petition.
