Section 625 ILCS 5/11-209.1. of the IVC states that a board of directors representing a residential subdivision, containing a minimum of 10 single family residences may file a written request, with the appropriate local authority wherein such property is situated, requesting their law enforcement agency enforce the provisions of the IVC on all private streets open to or used by the tenants, owners, employees or the public for the purposes of vehicular traffic by permission of such board of directors.
