WRITTEN COMMENTS Joe Halama (Naperville) Code 11-2A-8 prohibits parking on streets by 2-5am Residents in our subdivision are routinely ticketed & fined for violating this obscure, outdated ordinance. We've spoken to the City's designated enforcement officer who stated that we should contact the mayor and city City of Naperville Page 3 Printed on 11/5/2025 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final October 21, 2025 council to address this issue. Numerous families in the area have adult children (incl. high schoolers) living at home that need to drive a vehicle to get to work/school. The average suburban driveway does not accommodate multiple vehicles. Therefore, it becomes necessary to park on the street because most families don't employ a valet service for every time someone needs to move their car. The ordinance allows for each vehicle to park on the street 3 times/month. This simply doesn't work for larger families and is very cumbersome. Can you imagine the average high school student remembering to login to notify parking enforcement that their car will be parked on the street that night? I have only lived here since 2012, but we never had issues until this past year. We do not live on a narrow street, and I have never seen any issues with the exemption of moving cars to allow city snow plow to clear the streets. We need to change this ordinance. The simple truth is that with everything costing more, our children won't be able to afford their own apartment or house any time soon. Adult children are often moving back home to address a job loss or other financial stress in their lives. Recent college grads are also having a difficult time getting a job. The fact that we're punishing these kids and their families is wrong. No one is willfully parking on the street because they want to. Doesn't this ordinance date back to the 1950's or something? It's time to change it now. H.
