Central Road, Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056-2229 Phone 1347/1370-5640 Fax B47/253-9377 TDD B47/392-1235 MINUTES OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT SAFETY COMMISSION The Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Safety Commission was called to order at 7:35 P.M. on Monday, June 14, 1999. ROLL CALL Present upon roll call: Chuck Bencic Commissioner Joan Bjork Commissioner Phyllis Moliere Commissioner George Steiner Police Department Buz Livingston Fire Department Paul Bures Public Works Matt Lawrie Public Works/Engineering Division Absent: Lee Beening Chairman Nancy Bobikewicz Commissioner Andy Mitchell Commissioner Others in Attendance: See Attached List. Mr. Bures, seconded by Commissioner Bjork, moved to approve the minutes of the regular,. meeting of the Safety Commission held on April 12, 1999. The minutes were approved by a vote of 6-0. COM-123if Pedro Forte, 212 S. Mount Prospect Road, expressed a concern with plow trucks causing damage to the parkway. Also, adjustments need to be made to the storm sewer grates that were recently installed along Mount Prospect Road. I Recycled Paper - Printed with Soy Ink Otmar Wollner, 412 S. Mount Prospect Road, has lived in his current house for the past eighteen years. He attended a meeting with the County many years ago when it was proposed to install curbs along the west side of Mount Prospect Road. With the possibility of the road becoming four lanes wide, the residents opposed installing curbs. He is also concerned with the parkway damage. Commissioner Bencic recalled the meeting with the County many years ago. He stated that the County has jurisdiction over the road and the Village cannot do any work. Mr. Bures stated that the County will be adjusting the storm sewer grates within the next month and restoring the parkways. Commissioner Bencic reiterated the possibility of the road becoming four lanes with no parking should the County install curbs and believes not all the residents are in favor of taking that chance. Project Engineer Lawrie explained that the County attempted to remove the parking lane on the Des Plaines side of the road when it was resurfaced a few years ago. However, the City of Des Plaines supported the residents and agreed to pay for the work to the parking lane in order for it to remain. Louis Caviani, 210 S. Mount Prospect Road, is concerned with the amount of traffic and speed on the road. He is also concerned with people parking on the lawn. Commissioner Bencic asked Project Engineer Lawrie to take an inventory of the speed limit signs along Mount Prospect Road and determine if additional signs are necessary. Mr. Caviani also expressed a concern with the owner at 208 S. Mount Prospect Road selling vehicles on his property. The vehicles are parked extremely close to the road. Project Engineer Lawrie stated that the new Safety Commission Policy, which was approved at April's meeting, has not yet been presented to the Village Board. It is tentatively scheduled to go before the Village Board the first week in July. A) Request for Parking Restrictions along the West Side of Mount Prospect Road 1) Background Information The resident who made the request is concerned with the possibility of an accident happening since motorists cannot safely pass on the shoulder. There is not enough room to park a car or truck on the shoulder without obstructing the street traffic. He has personally been hit, while in his car, turning into his driveway. Also, cars ride up on the lawn when passing stopped cars waiting to turn left onto the side streets in Des Plaines. 2 Mount Prospect Road is under the jurisdiction of the Cook County Highway Department. Their office must approve all work, including installation of traffic signs. As part of our study, we asked the County to provide us their comments on this issue. The County currently has an ordinance that prohibits parking in their right-of-way unless a parking lane exists. A local ordinance is, however, required for enforcement purposes. The County will comply with installing signs to prevent passing on the shoulder as this request is not required to be in ordinance form. Mount Prospect Road is an asphalt road that varies in width. Between Central Road and Busse Avenue, two northbound and one southbound lane exist. Curb and gutter exists on both sides of the road. Between Busse Avenue and Cranbrook Street (Des Plaines), one lane exists for both northbound and southbound. Curb and gutter exists on the east side of the road and a gravel shoulder with open ditch system on the west side. Between Cranbrook Street and Northwest Highway, two lanes exist for both northbound and southbound. Curb and gutter exists on both sides of the road. The widths of the lanes are 12' with a 1' wide paved shoulder on the west side of the road between Busse Avenue and Cranbrook Street. The gravel shoulder varies from 2' to 8' wide with a typical width of 4'. An 8' wide parking lane exists along the east side of the road (Des Plaines) from Wisconsin Drive to Cranbrook Street. According to the County, this parking lane has existed for a long time. When Mount Prospect Road was recently resurfaced, the County attempted to eliminate the parking lane. The City of Des Plaines agreed to pay for the improvements to the parking lane in order to have it remain. Site visits were conducted the weeks of May 24h and May 31 ". Tire ruts in the grass area outside the gravel shoulder exists in a number of areas along the west side of the road. Based on observations, there doesn't appear to be adequate space to be able to park on the west side of the road. A portion of the vehicle would either be on the roadway or on the grass. No vehicles, however, were observed to be parked along the west side of road. Also, vehicles passing on the shoulder appear to damage the grass. Many of the homes in the 200 block have erected barriers and reflectors to prevent damage to their lawns and driveways. No parking and passing on the shoulder signs would help to reduce the damage to lawns and potential for accidents. 51 surveys were distributed to those residents that live adjacent to the proposed parking restrictions. 21 surveys were returned to the Village. The question that was asked in the survey was, What insight can you provide or experiences can you share that would support or oppose installing "No Parking Any Time" and "No Passing on Shoulder" signs? 6 surveys opposed the proposed parking restrictions. The remaining surveys supported the additional parking restrictions. 7 surveys asked that curbs be installed as a more permanent solution. Some of the comments received from the residents requested widening the road and installing curb and gutter similar to the east side of the road. According to the County, a feasibility study was performed about seven years ago. The projected cost of this project has prevented this work to be done and there are no future plans to do so. Also, a few comments requested restricting left turns onto Wisconsin Drive and Harvard Street during peak times. Doing so will prevent access to the subdivision for southbound traffic and will add traffic to other local streets. Since these streets are in the City of Des Plaines, approval would be necessary from their office. Other options such as road improvements should be pursued as a more permanent solution. 3 One of the concerns of restricting parking is the hardship it may create for those with limited driveway space. Of all the driveways (over forty), only one has a single lane width from the garage to the road with space for two cars. The other driveways have adequate space for more than two vehicles and are at least two lanes wide. On -street parking is available on the east side of the road as well as the side streets such as Busse, Evergreen, Milburn and Lincoln. Staff Recommendation: Installation of "No Parking Any Time" signs would be appropriate since there is inadequate space to park a vehicle. We do not want any portion of a vehicle parked on the roadway as this creates a risk for an accident. Installation of "No Passing on Shoulder" signs would reduce the damage to the gravel shoulder and grass areas. These signs would also help in enforcing the existing law of prohibiting vehicles from leaving the roadway while driving. Installation of signs, however, will not eliminate the key to the problem of passing on the shoulder. The amount of traffic on Mount Prospect Road compounded by the fact that there is only one southbound lane results in significant delays when a vehicle waits to turn left onto the side streets of Des Plaines. Impatient drivers will leave the roadway and go around the turning vehicle that causes the damage to the grass areas. Even with installation of signs, motorists may choose to disobey the signs that will continue the problem of damaged lawns. A permanent solution, such as widening the road, is necessary. As was stated above, Mount Prospect Road is under the jurisdiction of the Cook County Highway Department. It is the County's responsibility to provide a permanent solution to the issues at hand. On behalf of the Mount Prospect residents along Mount Prospect Road, the Village will pass along the residents' comments to the County and formally request that the County provide the Village with a proposed course of action that will be carried out to resolve these traffic issues. In the interim, because of the inadequate space to provide safe parking, the damage to the gravel shoulder and grass area, the existing County ordinance prohibiting parking within the right-of- way and the fact the County has no near future plans for any road improvements along this stretch of road, The Village Traffic Engineer recommends: No Parking Any Time and No Passing on Shoulder signs be installed along the west side of Mount Prospect Road between Central Road and Northwest Highway. 2) Discussion James Bornhoeft, 308 S. Mount Prospect Road, explained how he is upset his lawn being torn up from vehicles passing on the shoulder. He was in an accident while turning into his driveway because of an impatient driver. He was told by the Police Department that a ticket would be thrown out by the court because there are no signs. He doesn't believe there should be parking on the west side of the road. There are side streets that could be used for parking if it is necessary. 4 Commissioner Bencic asked for clarification on the existing ordinance and who enforces. Project Engineer Lawrie explained the County has an existing ordinance that prohibits parking along the west side of Mount Prospect Road. Because of the limitations of patrolling the road, the County looks to the Village for enforcement. In order for the Village to enforce this, a local ordinance needs to be adopted. The County will install the signs. Project Engineer Lawrie provided an overview of the traffic study. First, the County was contacted for their input on this subject. They support the No Parking and No Passing on Shoulder signs. They attempted to eliminate the parking lane on the Des Plaines side a few years ago but met with resistance from the residents. Also, the County looked at adding curbs to the west side of the road but found it to be cost prohibitive. Project Engineer Lawrie observed many tire ruts in the parkway. He pointed out that the shoulder is not wide enough to handle a parked vehicle. Part of the vehicle would either be on the lawn or the roadway. The road handles a lot of traffic and delays to occur when a vehicle is trying to turn left onto a side street. Project Engineer Lawrie presented the findings to the survey sent to the residents. A majority of the residents supported the parking restrictions. The Engineering Staff supports these parking restrictions as an interim solution. On behalf of the residents, the Village will request the County to develop a more permanent solution. Commissioner Bencic asked if the signs could be placed along the road as determined by the Village. Project Engineer Lawrie would provide the County with preferred locations of the signs. He believes they would go along with the Village. Commissioner Bjork, seconded by Commissioner Moliere, moved to approve installation of No Parking Any Time and No Passing on Shoulder signs along the west side of Mount Prospect Road between Central Road and Northwest Highway and that the Village can determine where to place the signs. The motion was approved by a vote of 6-0. B) Request for Parking Restrictions along the South Side of Council Trail 1) Background Information Lions Park Elementary School formed a Traffic Review Committee to evaluate the current traffic conditions. The committee included teachers, school volunteers, parents, nearby residents, bus drivers, the Police Department and the Public Works Department. The primary concern expressed at the meetings was the congestion along Council Trail, particularly during the drop- off and pick-up times. Vehicles park on both sides of the street in the vicinity of the school which prevents two-way traffic. This causes gridlock and makes it difficult for emergency vehicles to travel on Council Trail. Council Trail is an asphalt road with curb and gutter. It is considered a collector road. The width of the road varies. Between Emerson Street and Elm Street, the width is 26'. Between 5 Elm Street and William Street, the width is 31'. No Stopping Standing Parking School Days 8am — 4pm signs exist along the south side of Council Trail between Elm Street and School Street and along the north side of Council Trail at the west end of the school. Crosswalks exist across Council Trail at both Elm Street and School Street. Crossing guards are posted at both intersections during the drop-off and pick-up times. Four-way Stop signs exist at the intersections of Coucil Trail and Emerson Street, and Council Trail and William Street. Two- way Stop signs exist on Maple Street at Council Trail and on Owen Street at Council Trail. A Stop sign exists on Elm Street at Council Trail. Also, during drop-off and pick-up times, School Street between Shabonee Trail and Council Trail is one-way southbound. The school's main parking lot and bus turnaround are off of Council Trail. The smaller parking lot is off of School Street. Site visits were conducted during the weeks of May 24' and May 31'. Visits were done during the peak drop-off and pick-up times. School begins at 9am, lets out at - 3:30pm and has kindergarten pick-up/drop-off at noon. In the morning, the drop-off occurs from about 8:45am to 9:05am. There is a continuous flow of traffic during this time period. Parked vehicles were seen to be primarily along the north side of Council Trail in front of the school. Both sides of the road were being used for dropping -off causing congestion around the school. A majority of the school traffic approached from the west on Council Trail. Some parents approaching the school from the west turned south onto Elm Street and School Street to drop-off their children. The school puts out traffic cones on these side streets to a point approximately 100' south of Council Trail in order prevent congestion near the intersection. With a lot of traffic coming from all directions, this also prevents a potential traffic hazard for children exiting vehicles near the intersection. Parents were also observed using School Street north of Council Trail to drop-off their children in front of the school. In the morning, there didn't appear to be a lot of vehicles parked on the streets. Most of the parents were observed dropping -off their children and then continuing on. According to the school principal, the drop-off/pick-up time at lunch doesn't cause a traffic problem. The morning kindergarten class ends at noon and the afternoon kindergarten class begins at 1:OOpm. Because the drop-off/pick-up times at lunch do not occur at the same time and only involves a small number of students, there is not the congestion observed as is seen in the morning and afternoon. In the afternoon, the pick-up occurs from about 3:25pm to 3:45pm. The congestion appears to be greatest in the afternoon as parents are parked in their vehicles and waiting for their children. Vehicles were observed to be parked on both sides of Council Trail between School Street and William Street. The north side of Council Trail between School Street and Maple Street were 4 full of parked vehicles and between Maple Street and Emerson Street there were few vehicles. The west side of School Street north of Council Trail was full of parked vehicles. Also, both sides of Elm Street and School Street south of Council Trail for approximately half the block were full of parked vehicles. The school has two on-site parking lots. The lot on the west side of the school has approximately 60 parking spaces. This lot is usually always full. It is primarily used by teachers, administrators and volunteers. The lot on the east side of the school has approximately 10 parking spaces. This lot is closed during the drop-off/pick-up times since the V graders line- up in this area. Therefore, vehicles park on the west side of School Street even though it is i prohibited. This takes up space on School Street for those parents who are attempting to drop- off their children. During the day, the lot is primarily used by parents. It was decided by the Traffic Review Committee to move the V graders to the opposite side of the school. This will allow the parking lot to be open during the drop-off/pick-up times for temporary parking which, in turn, will free up additional space on the streets. Speaking with the Deputy Fire Chief, John Malcolm, the Fire Department sees a benefit in restricting parking on one side of Council Trail in order to maintain two-way traffic. There would be a delay in response to an emergency if a fire truck or ambulance was traveling on Council Trail and was met with vehicles parked on both sides of the street and opposing traffic blocking the only through lane. Last year, emergency vehicles were confronted with this problem as school was letting out which caused a delay. 22 surveys were distributed to those residents that live adjacent to the proposed parking restrictions. 6 surveys were returned to the Village. The question that was asked in the survey was, Khat insight can you provide or experiences can you share that would support or oppose installing "No Stopping, Standing, Parking School Days 8am — 4pm " signs? 2 surveys opposed the proposed parking restrictions. The remaining 4 surveys supported the additional parking restrictions. Severe congestion and the need for emergency vehicle access were a couple of comments that were written on the surveys. A few unique circumstances compound the congestion problem along Council Trail. First, rainy or snowy weather increases the number of parents' dropping-off/picking-up their children. Second, occasionally there are events at school that requires volunteers. These volunteers often taken up space on the adjacent streets. Finally, a construction project is currently taking place on Berkshire Drive between Maple Street and Elm Street. The road will be closed until September. All of the above situations add to the congestion along Council Trail. The Traffic Review Committee will be meeting again in the Fall to continue to discuss the traffic situations around the school. Additional improvements may be considered and brought to the Safety Commission in the future. The proposed parking restrictions on Council Trail will help to reduce the congestion around the school and will allow two-way traffic to be maintained. Selective police enforcement will be requested to assist in this process. Staff Recommendation: In order to alleviate the congestion along Council Trail and maintain two-way traffic in the vicinity of Lions Park Elementary School, The Village Traffic Engineer recommends: No Stopping Standing Parking School Days 8am-4pm signs be installed along the south side of Council Trail between Emerson Street and Elm Street, and between School Street and William Street. 7 2) Discussion Patricia Cassidy, Principal of Lions Park Elementary School, explained the congestion along Council Trail because of the school traffic. The school has expanded their building recently and has many parents driving their children to school. There was a minor fire in the school last year and the fire truck had a difficult time reaching school because of the congestion on Council Trail. In order to alleviate the congestion, Ms. Cassidy is requesting no parking or stopping on the south side of Council Trail between Emerson and William. Commissioner Bjork asked where the parents would park if you eliminate parking on the south side of Council Trail. Ms. Cassidy believes parents will most likely use some of the side streets such as Maple or Elm to drop-off/pick-up their children. Commissioner Bjork expressed a concern of children crossing both a side street and Council Trail. Ms. Cassidy explained that there are District paid crossing guards at Council Trail and volunteers to assist students to school. Commissioner Moliere noted that the request for the restrictions was between 8am and 4pm. She questioned whether the restrictions were necessary all day. Ms. Cassidy said the problem occurs during the morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Also, there are occasional afternoon events that add to the congestion. Commissioner Moliere wondered if the restrictions could be a specific time in the morning and also in the afternoon. Officer Steiner commented that from an enforcement standpoint, it wasn't any more difficult to enforce all day restrictions from specific morning and afternoon hours. Commissioner Bencic asked if there were many residents parking their vehicles on Council Trail. Ms. Cassidy doesn't believe so. Mr. Bures noted that of the ten homes that are adjacent to the proposed restrictions, only two have driveways on Council Trail. Project Engineer Lawrie stated that because of the limited parking lot space, volunteers and parents look for street parking. With all the spaces occupied on the north side of Council Trail, it only takes one vehicle to park on the south side of the road to create the gridlock situation. This is probably the reasoning for the current time restrictions between Elm and School. The Village would rather have the parking on a low volume local street than on a collector street such as Council Trail. Project Engineer Lawrie provided an overview of the traffic study. He explained the physical characteristics at the school and the surrounding area. He provided some observations of the drop-off and pick-up based on site visits. From a conversation with the Deputy Fire Chief, there is a benefit in restricting the parking to allow for emergency vehicles to access the school and neighborhood. Project Engineer Lawrie presented the findings to the survey sent to the residents. A majority of the residents supported the parking restrictions. Severe congestion was the major concern. Project Engineer Lawrie stated he was a part of a Traffic Review Committee formed by the school. This committee will continue to look at the traffic flow once school resumes and may be back to the Safety Commission with some additional traffic -related requests. N C) 1) Mr. Bures, seconded by Captain Livingston, moved to approve installation of No Stopping Standing Parking School Days 8am-4pm signs along the south side of Council Trail between Emerson Street and Elm Street, and between School Street and William Street. The motion was approved by a vote of 6-0. Mr. Bures stated his support for the all day parking restrictions based on the street maintenance needs. Request for Stop Signs at the Intersection of Wille Street and Shabonee Trail Background Information Mr. Ozag, 515 S. Wille Street, stated that motorists on Shabonee Trail often treat the road as a thoroughfare and do not yield the right-of-way to motorists on Wille Street since there are no traffic control signs posted at the intersection. He has witnessed at least four accidents at the intersection over the past ten years. He believes installing Stop signs would discourage motorists from speeding down Shabonee Trail. The Engineering Staff performed a traffic study. The findings are as follows: a) Accidents A search of the accident reports indicated: Year 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 (May) Number of Accidents 0 0 1 1 2 0 b) Speed Study Representative speed surveys were performed on Wille Street south of Shabonee Trail and on Shabonee Trail west of Wille Street between May 12th and May 14th (see attached data sheets). The average speeds are follows: Northbound Wille 23 mph Southbound Wille 22 mph Eastbound Shabonee 27 mph Westbound Shabonee 23 mph The speed limits on Wille Street and Shabonee Trail are 25 mph. Based on the results, there doesn't appear to be a speeding problem. G C) Traffic Volume Traffic volume data was gathered in May. Based on the results, there are approximately 1100 vehicles per day that enter the intersection. 900 vehicles travel on Shabonee Trail and 200 vehicles on Wille Street. The maximum total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches for any eight hours during a recorded day was 663. d) Survey Results A total of 21 surveys were sent out in May 1999 to collect the residents' comments on this request. 14 surveys were returned to the Village. Attached is a copy of the survey form as well as selective comments from the survey received from the residents. Comments are provided in this study which are relevant and not duplicates of other comments. e) Existing Traffic Control Signs Traffic control signs adjacent to the intersection are as follows: Wille & Lincoln (north) — 2 -way Stop signs on Wille Wille & Council (south) — 2 -way Stop signs on Wille Shabonee & Main (east) — 2 -way Yield signs on Main Shabonee & Pine (west) — uncontrolled f) Site Obstructions Based on a field inspection, no sight obstructions exist at the intersection. This determination was based on the guidelines established by the Village Code. Stop Signs: Stop signs are warranted when there are five or more reported accidents of a type susceptible of correction by Stop sign installation in a 12 -month period. Over the past five years, the maximum number of accidents in a 12 -month period at this intersection is three. Stop signs are warranted when the minimum traffic volume entering the intersection from all approaches is 500 vehicles/hour for an eight hour period (500 x 8 = 4000 vehicles/8 hrs). The traffic volume at this intersection (663 vehicles/8 hrs) is approximately 17% of the Stop sign warrant. When the 85 -percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 mph, the minimum vehicle volume warrant is 70% of the above requirements. The 85 -percentile approach speed on Shabonee Trail is 32 mph. Stop signs are not warranted based on the accident history, traffic volume and speed study at the intersection. 10 Yield Signs: The study has shown Stop signs are not warranted at the intersection. However, it would be appropriate to install Yield signs on the less -traveled street (Wille Street) in order to clarify the right-of-way. The Engineering Staff typically considers a minimum average of one accident per year over the past three years a criterion for Yield sign installation. There have been four accidents over the past three years at the intersection. This may be correctable by installing Yield signs. The traffic volume study shows that 84% of the motorists were travelling on Shabonee Trail. This may cause motorists on Shabonee Trail to perceive they have the right-of-way. Comments from the residents indicate a speeding problem on Shabonee Trail. Though the speed study doesn't indicate a problem, this comment shows again that motorists on Shabonee Trail may perceive they have the right-of-way. Yield signs generally should not be placed to control the major flow of traffic at an intersection. In this case, Yield signs should be installed on Wille Street. Many of the comments received from the residents related excessive speeding on Shabonee Trail. To address this concern, selective police enforcement will be requested to monitor and control the motorists' speed on Shabonee Trail. Staff Recommendation: Because the intersection of Wille Street and Shabonee Trail does not meet any of the Stop Sign Warrants, The Village Traffic Engineer recommends: Stop signs at the intersection of Wille Street and Shabonee Trail P91 be installed. To clarify the right-of-way at this intersection, The Village Traffic Engineer recommends: 2 -way Yield signs on Wille Street at Shabonee Trail be installed. 2) Discussion Mr. Ozag, 515 S. Wille Street, explained how motorists use Shabonee Trail as a through street and those on the side streets must yield before entering the intersections. He has personally 11 witnessed accidents at the intersection in question. He is not in favor of Yield signs because he feels it will not slow down motorists on Shabonee Trail. He would like to see 4 -way Stop signs. Commissioner Bencic asked if the improvements to Elmhurst Road would have any effect on reducing cut through traffic and speed on Shabonee Trail. Project Engineer Lawrie believes the road improvements will have little effect on the amount and speed of vehicles on Shabonee Trail. Project Engineer Lawrie provided an overview of the traffic study. The traffic study included a review of the accident history, a speed study, a volume study, a resident survey and site obstruction study. The resident survey revealed a concern of speed on Shabonee Trail. Support of Stop signs was mixed according to the survey. There were no site obstructions at the intersection using the Village Code guidelines. Project Engineer Lawrie explained the warrants for Stop signs and Yield signs according to national guidelines. The traffic study showed that Stop signs are not warranted but because of the accident history and speed on Shabonee Trail, Yield signs are warranted. Selective police enforcement will be requested to help reduce the speed along Shabonee Trail. Mr. Ozag pointed out that many of the existing Stop signs are probably not warranted with the guidelines. Project Engineer Lawrie said that these guidelines have not always been used. Commissioner Bencic explained that when different parts of the Village were annexed, the existing signs were also incorporated without any changes. Officer Steiner shares in Mr. Ozag's concern of speeding motorists on Shabonee Trail. The Police Department will be monitoring this area. Mr. Bures, seconded by Commissioner Bjork, moved to deny installation of Stop signs at the intersection of Wille Street at Shabonee Trail. The motion was approved by a vote of 6-0. Officer Steiner, seconded by Commissioner Bencic, moved to approve installation of Yield signs on Wille Street at Shabonee Trail. The motion was approved by a vote of 6-0. With no further business to discuss, the Safety Commission voted 6-0 to adjourn at 9:00 p.m. upon the motion of Commissioner Bjork. Mr. Bures seconded the motion. x:Viles\engineeftafecommWafiic\recs&min\june99min.doc Respectfully submitted, Matthew P.
