CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
David Schein, 512 Na-Wa-Ta Avenue, raised a concern with traffic in front of the Costco entrance at
Randhurst. The red colored pavement can be confusing to pedestrians who may not be aware vehicles
can drive through the area. A similar layout was also discussed near the Costco gas station. Mr. Schein
is concerned for pedestrian safety and would like the Village to review the situation. Traffic Engineer
Lawrie said he would inspect the area and then contact Randhurst to discuss possible solutions.
There was no one in else in attendance that spoke on an issue not on the agenda.
OLD BUSINESS
None.
NEW BUSINESS
A) UPDATE ON VARIOUS TRAFFIC PROJECTS
1) Background Information
The summer has been anything but slow for the Engineering Division. The Village Board's new
approach to address various traffic issues on a neighborhood wide basis rather than an individual
location basis has reduced the number of items that would be regularly heard by the Safety
Commission. Stop and . Yield sign studies and. speed limit studies are now being done on a
neighborhood by neighborhood approach with the assistance of a consultant. These types of
requests that have been received this summer will be eventually be reviewed by the Safety
Commission as part of the neighborhood programs. Nevertheless, this new direction has
consumed a considerable amount of time and, unfortunately, left less time to assemble regular
meetings.
The Engineering Staff is in the beginning stages of a few other studies besides the neighborhood
programs including a school traffic study, parking study and turn restriction study but. is not
ready yet for formal discussion and recommendation. In the interim, the Engineering Staff
thought it would be beneficial to use the meeting as an opportunity to update the Safety
Commission on various traffic projects in the Village. The following projects will be discussed:
. Neighborhood Intersection Traffic Control Program
. Neighborhood Speed Limit Program
. Euclid A v & Burning Bush Ln Pedestrian Signals
. Northwest Hwy & Central Rd Pedestrian Signals
. Mt. Prospect Rd Pedestrian Crossing
. Forest View Elementary School Traffic Study
. Central Rd Resurfacing Project
. Lincoln Street Bridge Project
. Rand Rd & Elmhurst Rd Traffic Signal Modernization Project
. Kensington Rd at Elmhurst Rd Turn Lane Study

2) Discussion
Vice Chairman Keane asked Traffic Engineer Lawrie to present an update on each of the above
projects. Traffic Engineer Lawrie handed out a packet of information to each member and then
provided a status report on each project. There were some general questions with no lengthy
discussion on a particular project.
COMMISSION ISSUES
Captain Livingston inquired as to the status of installing speed humps in the Village. Traffic Engineer
Lawrie said there has been discussion about creating a test project but staff from the Police Department,
Fire Department and Public Works have all expressed concern. As of now, a final decision has not been
made.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business to discuss, the Safety Commission voted 5-0 to adjourn at 8:05 p.m. upon the
motion of Commissioner Tortorello. Commissioner Petersen seconded the motion.
Respectfully submitted,

A) NOTIFICATION DISCUSSION CONCERNING CHANGE IN TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
AROUND FOREST VIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
I) Background Information
Forest View Elementary School ison Estates Drive north of Golf Road and west of Busse Road.
For many years, Estates Drive has been posted one-way eastbound between Carol Lane and
Crestwood Lane during school hours. Parking is allowed on both sides of Estates Drive as well
as the adjacent north-south streets. The current situation has resulted in disobedience to the one-
way designation and congestion in the neighborhood during drop-off and pick-up.
Officer Bill Roscop of the Police Department and the Engineering Staff met with the . school and
some parents at a recent PTO Meeting to discuss our observations ... and preliminary
recommendations. The school has recently written a letter to the Village asking for changes.to
the traffic regulations around the school and requesting the issue be brought before the Safety
Commission. Because the recommendations are significantly different than how .traffic is
operating today, the Engineering Staff is requesting input as to who should be notified in our
study.
2) Discussion
Chairman Bencic asked Traffic Engineer Lawrie to present the issue to the Safety Commission.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie briefly explained the current conditions and concerns. He also told the
preliminary recommendations and requested input as to the. appropriate notification area. He
also stated the Safety Commission is to notify those properties. along the street affected by a
proposed parking change and those properties within 200' ofa proposed intersection change.
Initial comments from the Safety Commission included the belief that changes to the traffic
pattern around the school will impact the entire neighborhood. They agreed that sending
notification to the hundreds of homes in the area may not be necessary; however, residents
should still be made aware of the issue. After some discussion, it was agreed that those directly
impacted by a proposed change per the policy would be notified by mail. Also, Staff would look
to add signs at key intersections in the neighborhood and at the school making motorists aware of
the issue.
There was also consensus that Staff will not send notification directly to the parents but rather
work through the school. Staff could possibly send an information letter to the school that could
be distributed to the students and parents. Feedback would comeback to the school and then
forwarded to the Village.
Chairman Bencic and others raised questions about the preliminary recommendations. There
was discussion about the best way to make it easy for parents to drop-off and pick-up their
children as well as the safest arrangement for students. Ideas surrounding one-way streets,
parking restrictions, turn restrictions, pavement markings and road widening were all briefly
discussed. There was no formal vote or even agreement. Traffic Engineer Lawrie said he would
review the suggestions and speak with the school before moving forward on a final
recommended plan. Commissioner Tortorello suggested meeting at the school when it comes
Phone 847/:370..5640

time for the issue to be formally heard. Traffic Engineer Lawrie said he would discuss the idea
with the school.
B. NOTIFICATION DISCUSSION CONCERNING CHANGE IN TURN RESTRICTIONS AT
RIVER ROAD & IVY LANE AND BURNING BUSH LANE & IVY LANE
1) Background Information
River Road is an mOT-owned arterial road with a posted speed limit of 45mph. Between Euclid
Avenue and Kensington Road, the east side is part of the Cook County Forest Preserve and the
west side is residential. There are two access streets into the neighborhood. The southern street
is Hopi Lane. There are no access restrictions at this street; however, there is not a dedicated left
turn lane along northbound River Road. As a result, motorists turning left into the neighborhood
must do so from a thru lane.
The northern street is Ivy Lane. Even though there is a dedicated left turn lane on River Road, a
posted turn restriction sign prevents left turns from northbound River Road onto westbound Ivy
Lane during the hours of 4pm-6pm Monday-Friday. The Village recently received a request
from a resident in the neighborhood to remove the turn restriction at this intersection. The
resident stated he feels safer turning at Ivy Lane with a dedicated left turn lane rather than at
Hopi Lane without a dedicated left turn lane.
A cursory review reveals the turn restriction was put in place in 1989 as a result of a petition
complaining about speeding along Ivy Lane. In addition to the turn restriction at River Road and
Ivy Lane, a turn restriction preventing left turns from southbound Burning Bush Lane onto
eastbound Ivy Lane during the hours of 7am-9am was put in place at the same time to address the
same Issue.
While the request has been to only review the turn restriction at River Road and Ivy Lane, the
Engineering Staff believes it would be appropriate to review the turn restrictions at both
intersections since they were concurrently put in place as part of the same issue. The
Engineering Staff is requesting input as to who should be notified in our study.
2) Discussion
Chairman Bencic asked Traffic Engineer Lawrie to present the issue to the Safety Commission.
Traffic Engineer Lawrie briefly explained the history that lead to the turn restrictions and the
concerns today. He explained that mOT recently completed a traffic signal project along River
Road that has improved traffic progression and reduced delay. With completion of this project,
there is probably less concern of cut through traffic from River Road. He requested input as to
the appropriate notification area.
After some discussion, there was consensus from the Safety Commission that an area beyond
200' from the intersection should be included in the notification area. It was agreed that those
properties along Ivy Lane from River Road to Burning Bush Lane should be notified by letter
and signs could be placed at key intersections in the neighborhood with information about the
issue.
With a notification area identified, Traffic Engineer Lawrie recommended that before moving
forward, the resident who raised the issue should submit a petition with signatures from at least
50% of those living along Ivy Lane to be consistent with the Safety Commission's policy. There
was agreement on this recommendation. Chairman Bencic and Vice Chairman Keane
Phone 847/870-5640
F;:iA e47/2~53h.~')211"l'
commented that the turn restriction at Burning Bush Lane and Ivy Lane should be omitted from
discussion unless it is included in the petition.
Deputy Chief Dalhberg suggested that a turn restriction at Hopi Lane and River Road should be
installed rather than at Ivy Lane because of the lack of a dedicated left turn lane. He will provide
Traffic Engineer Lawrie copies of crash reports at the intersection for review. The Safety
Commission decided that if there was not a crash problem at River Road and Hopi Lane then a
turn restriction would not be considered and a letter would be sent requiring a petition before
consideration by the Safety Commission of the issue at Ivy Lane. If there is a crash problem at
River Road and Hopi Lane then the Engineering Staff would initiate the study that would
consider a turn restriction at Hopi Lane and removal of the one at Ivy Lane to allow access into
the neighborhood.
COMMISSION ISSUES
Commissioner Petersen asked the status of the traffic issue around Costco that was raised at the last
meeting. Traffic Engineer Lawrie responded that Staff has been in contact with Randhurst and they are
open to working with the Village. Staffis in the process of setting up a meeting with Randhurst, Costco
and the Village to discuss the issue at the site.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business. to discuss, the Safety Commission voted 7-0 to adjourn at 8:10 p.m. upon the
motion of Commissioner Tortorello. Deputy Chief Dahlberg seconded the motion.
