We are petitioning the Illinois Dept. of Transportation stop the closure of Brown Derby Road in Thornton, IL. Your support is requested because the Village Board in Thornton has already voted to shut down this primary route of ingress & egress to please members of the Homewood Village Board and Menard's, Inc. They did so directly against the wishes of a great many of the Thornton community, and now we need IDOT's assistance in resolving the matter. Brown Derby Road cannot close without IDOT approval. The reasons why BDR should remain open include:

This petition is NOT solely for Village of Thornton residents. It is for Thornton and the surrounding communities that would be adversely affected by a closure. Brown Derby Road is a valuable asset to a great many people that needs to remain open.
