The Engineering Staff recommends that a sign not be installed at this location. The ,-Engineering staff believe that such signs are unenforceable and give a false sense of security to the neighborhood residents. This item was on the Safety Commission agenda for November and December of 1994, however, nobody from the Bob -O -Link neighborhood attended the meeting. This item has been deferred to this month to allow neighborhood residents more time to respond, JUDITH A. RI SELE 400 LARKDALE LANE MT.

Mr. Anderson of Park National Bank and Trust of Chicago have requested a parking restriction on Midway Drive. This issue has been deferred to this month for the Engineering Staff to collect and analyze the opinions of two other businesses (Charlie Club and Zanie) on Midway Drive. Charlie Club approved a ,-parking restriction on Midway Drive and Zanie did not respond to the survey. valraq,at,1101 -0 Al"-HIIR'6411'� I Iii MT� IS %Aj lop& =I MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS Prepared For The VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT Mount Prospect, Illinois December 1994 a PETER F.

Olesen and Associates, Inc. has been engaged by the Village of Mount Prospect to review concerns with respect to a continuing IV-*" f"iir-�IrS -na"Ir4r% p A. o, lb�, .1 em., w it h Clie. s e _1 %-0 d#6 %.A %.w A L 164 -6 A 6 L A .9 on Am. i A -.. way Drive op, osite the Park ee%_11 .National Bank for extended periods of time. The area in question i's immediately west of Elmhurst Road (IL Rte 83) on Midway Drive, which extends west one block to a cul-de-sac. To the west of the Cul-de-sac is Charley Club, on the south side 'i's Zanies Comedy Club and on the north side, Park National Bank. The north side lo Parking" but the south side is not. of the street is posted "N EXHIBIT 1 LOCATIO14 MAP presents the location of the site w±thin the Village. COURSE OF ACTION: In order to better understand the problem, we visited the site on three occasions to observe the existing conditions. Two diesel tractor units were observed parked in Zanies parking lot o December 1, 1994, and on the south side of the street on December 2 1994 and again on December 4, 1994. No other vehicles were noted Photographs from each visit are attached as EXHIBITS 2 through 6. 1 The letter from the bank indicated that there was overnight parking. If this happened on the st.ree.t, it would be a violation of Village code. We therefore reques.ted information with respect to police department records of possible overnight parking on the street. The Village's engineering department contacted the police departmen to obtain any information they had on file. The Police 'indicated tha they have been monitoring the aa resince the I= first part of Novembe and have noted no overnicht parking during that period. I 4ISCUSSION: The trucks are not violating any posted regulations by parking on the street, unless they park overnight, which hasn't happened recently, Unless they are patrons of Zanies or have permission to park in their parking lot, they may in fact be trespassing. That would involve prosecution by the property owner or tenant. The only potential parking demand along Midway Drive would appear to be on the evenings when Zanies is open and their parking lot becomes full, or if a major function at the Charlie Club that would cause overflow parking to extend to the street, It is possible that the drivers of these vehicles live in apartments in the area and are parking on the street and in the adjacent lots because they are not permitted to park in the apartment lots, Another possibility is that the transport company has no local facility at which to park its vehicles. We understand the concern for joggers, but cannot see that as a major problem. The trucks occupy a rather limited curb length when parked on the street. There are sidewalks and parking lots available on either side of Midway Drive that would be far safer than jogging in the street. The relative traffic on Midway Drive is low because the street only serves the Bank, Zanies and Charley Club, Changing parking regulations could have a negative impact on one or more of the above businesses. It would be a good idea to survey them prior to making any changes, POSSIBLE COURSES OF ACTION: The Village has several potential course of action that can be taken. These include the following: 1 Allow the situation to exist as is. The trucks do not create any visble traffic hazzards by parking on the south side of the street, 2. The Village could pass an ordinance prohibiting parking on the south side of Midway Drive. This could have a negative effect the existing businesses should they ever need on -street parking for their customers. 3* The Village could pass an ordinance prohibiting truck parking on the south side. The parking causes no major problem in itself. 4* We are not aware of an ordinance that specifical lyprohibits a company from parking 'Its vehicles overnight in a commercial area that could be applied to this situation, The Village may wish to consider an ordinance regulating parking by trucking firms seeking to avoid having their own parking facility, CONCLUSIONS: We feel that parking the tractors at the curb does not create an unsafe condition. The street is basically only one block long and is wide enough to permit two-way traffic past the trucks when they are parked there. If prohibition is pursued for other reasons, we highly recommend that each business be interviewed ' with respect to their position concerning possible prohibition of parking along Midway Drive, Res 11Y Sfitted, k 144 Peter F.

Henry St was pulled out of the Village Board of Trustee Meeting Agenda, This issue is to be discussed again this ✓_month to allow the resident to attend the meeting As discussed before, the same resident requested this 'issue two times before: 1).

OLESEN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. 500 West Central Road, Suite 205 Mount Prospect, Illinois 708-253-1515 REQUEST FOR PARKING RESTRICTION 121 STRATTON LANE MOUNT PROSPECT) ILLINOIS INTRODUCTION: Peter F. Olesen and Associates, Inc., has been engaged by the Village of Mount Prospect to review the concerns expressed by Mr. Joe Jagus of 121 Stratton Lane concerning his driveway access when functions at St. Emily's School cause vehicles to park along Henry Street opposite his homes Exhibit I- Location Map presents the site location within the village, Mr, Jagus has an address on Stratton Lane, but his home and driveway Actually face Henry Street, which runs east and west along the north side of the St. Emily parking lot which is on the north side of the elementary school building. His home is one of two that face +1enry in the subject blocks The house has a two car garage served by a 23 foot wide driveway. To better illustrate the site location, please refer to Exhibit 2 - Site Location. This more clearly identifies the site and existing conditions. We are also attaching several photographs for greater clarity. At the present time, parking is permitted on 'both, sides of Henry Street, from Horner Lane west to a dead end i,mmediately west of Stratton Lane, The extention west of Stratton serves the St. Emilys Convent on the north side of the street and as a connection to the school parking lot on the south side of the street, In a discussion with Mrs Jagus on December 2, 1994, he stated his 1, concern with the difficulty of enter:`Lng or leaving his driveway during "special functions" being held at th,e school duri*ng the week. He said he didn't have a problem on weekends during church services. When I discussed the frequency of the problem, he indicated that there might be two fund raising functions during the year,%plus basketball games at the school. We contacted the school to inquire as to their projected "overflow" periods. They indicated the following functions normally resulting in overflow parking: Function Occurances Per Year Sunday Masses - 10:00 A.M. and 11:30 A.M. "2 Craft Shows 2 First Communion Sunday 1 Confirmation Tuesday 1 Other Functions 2 My observation was that the school parking lot was rather large, and based on my observation of elementary school basketball attendance, I would not anticipate that many cars would bepresent, When we asked the school administration, they said that they did not feel that their basketball games attracted enough vehicles to fill the lot. On the date I visited the site, there were two automobiles parked along the south side of Henry Street, but they were not near his driveway. During further discussion he stated that he felt parking could be restricted on the south side of Henry because it was already prohbited on the west side of Horner from Henry south to Central Road, Horner Lane collects traffic from the neighborhood and carries much higher volumes of traffic than Henry. If parking had beenpermitted along the front of the school as well as on the east side of the street, it 'Would not be poss,ible for vehicles to pass in opposite directions when vehicles were parked on 'both sides of the street,, it should be furt,her stated, that the southbound pavement adjacent to the curb on Horner Lane passing the school, in effect serves as a fire lane when parking is prohibited. The fire lane for the north side of the school is located in the parking lot, not on Henry Street, POSSIBLE COURSES OF ACTION: I Mr. Jagus is concerned with his ability to move freely to and from his residence at all times, This reflects a common feeling, which could be expressed by all homeowners. We understand his concern, but feel that the problem is not a frequent one. While it may be more inconvenient than when' no cars are present, it is still possible to negotiate a vehicle to or from his driveway when vehicles are parked opposite. Discounting the Sunday Mass parking overflow, which Mr. Jagus said was not a problem, there are approximately six times a year when he feels constricted, There are several different courses of action open to the Village in order to address the situations These are as follows: Alternate 1 - Take no action, The same conditions exist along many streets in the village where driveways do not face opposite each other. Whenever a vehicle is parked on the opposite side of the street in front of a driveway, it creates a situation where a driver backing out of a driveway has to exercise more caution. Should this be an everyday occurance, it could be viewed as a more serious problem. It is not an everyday occurance, but rather, as d* iscussed above, an infrequent situation, Another factor reducin,g the pot ent,ial severity of the problem the fact that the house has a wide driveway apron serv* is garage, This resu.1ts I Ing a two car in a 111, d e, r vehicle turns unless w, "' area, in wh,ilch, to accomplish same time. I e -%-q he has two vehicles parked O,Utsi'de at the Alternate, 2, - Provide, "No Parking, Between Signs" 1 4, Th*s a1ternnate, would ion o "No Park Between Signs" si cal,l, for the installat' f ing ig,ns� 10 feet to either, si'de, of Mrs Jagus' driveway on, the north side OT the street. This would increase the area in whichto pull a car either into or out of the driveway.' Alternate 3 - "Provide "No Parking Between Signs" on the south side of Henry, spaced 50 feet apart, centered on Mrs Jagus' driveway* This would provide the clear area Mrs Jagus is seeking. Alternate 3 in effect could set a precedent which could be appli• ed at many lo,cat* zOns throug',hout the, Village. Th'i's, could include almost, every resi"dentia.1 driiveuzay where people park on the,,, opposite side Of the street. Alternate 4 - Prohibit parking on •the south side of Henry Street between Stratton Lane and Horner Street. This is the original request made by Mr. Jagus. While there is no pres�sing demand for parking along the south side of Henry, there is onl,y one propert by such parkingThe' y owner claiming to be affected . is agaiLn falls in, the area of what ma3r, be consided precedent setting without just cause. RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on our observation of the site and consideration of the number Of tiMes, the problem, ma*` occur during the first ch ice Year, we recommend as, our ,iceo ,tet e, 1. Our ra,tionale is that it i s on I Y an infrequent, occurance when 'we, eliminate the Possible congest 4, Sunday mornings, i on on which he has said, was not a Concern, anw d ,h nuisance '*,Ienuisance to Mr. Jag -us, does not prevent him, from acces-s to andifrom his driveway, unless cars parking on his side of the s,treet, encroach on his driveway. Alternate 2 Is our second choices as it doesnyt set new precidents. This '* approach is currently used, at other locations In the Village. It provides, him with a wider area 'in whi,ch to negotiate in and out •of his driveway. f Re," cts, 'b i' - Peter Olesen P.E.

Johanson r] PARWNG RESTRICTION ON SOUTH AUDREY LJ4 (FROM CENTRAL RD TO 12 S AUDREY LN) Mr. Dan Ewing of 12 Audrey Lane have requested a parking restriction on the 100 block of Audrey Lane because the cars belonging to workers from the dental office on Central Road are parked on Audrey Lane just south of Central. He indicated that driving around these parked cars created hazardous driving conditions. A total of '.22 surveyswere se�nt, out, to collect and analyze the resid'ent's. opilnions. As of January 64 199,53, a tota] of 11 surveyswere returned to the Village,, the majority of the retumed surveys, favored a parki,ng restrictionon Audrey Lane. The Engineering Staff recommends that a 2 -hour parking restriction from the hours of 7.00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. except on Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays be installed on both sides of South Audrey Lane (from Central Road to 12 S. Audrey Lane). STOP SIGN REQUEST AT THE INTERSECTION OF ERIC AVENUE AND CARDINAL LANE . . . _ \�: , �\�� / \ � � % �� \ �� \ «/ a2# \ 2■�^ �^~ <\ ^� \� \\\\\ . � � w.

John and Grace Baptiste 708-818-0656 TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STUDY Intersection of North Eric Avenue and East Cardinal Lane Mount Prospect, Illinois tit', r C 47 Prepared For: VELLAGE OF AW)UNT PROSPECT W E, I i Prepared By,: CIVILTECH ENGrqEERE�-Gq INC. 0 1250 Arlington Heights Road • Suite 250 a 0 Itasca, Illinois 60143 (708) 773-3900,o FAX (708) 773-3975 At TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STUDY Intersection of North Eric Avenue and East Cardinal Lane Alount Prospect, Illinois A* Requested Action - In a letter dated March 22, 1994, Mr. andJohn Baptiste requested the installation of stop signs on North Eric Avenue at its intersection with East Cardinal Lane. The purpose of the stop sizns would be to control hieh vehicle speeds through the neiehborhood thereby U'nproving safetv for neip-rhborhood children. A copv of Mr. andBaptiste's letter i's attached as ExIn'bit A. B. Scope of Investigation - Civiltech En ' eineering was retained by the Village of Mount Prospect to investi ' gate potential traffic safely- or operational problems at this intersection and to..recommend any enhancements to the system of traffic control devices. To aid in the investigation, the Village Public Works Department conducted 24-hour machine traffic counts in the study area and they provided historic accident data. Civiltech Enc.�neering anah-zed these data r to performing a site reconnaissance to obsen,,e e: u -'sting conditions and to evaluate driver sight (Estances from each approach. EXISTING CO.N,!)ITIONS A, Physical Features - Both En'c Avenue and Cardinal Lane are 2 -lane local streets -vNith curb & gutter and paved sideNvalks on both sides. The adjacent land uses are single fanu'lyi residenti"al. DriNeN aWs ,are located approximately even7 50 feet along both streets. A locat' I Exhibit B* IV .1 ion map of thestudyarrea is shomm in ,Ix At the time of the field inspection, no on -street parking a ws present� though it is allowed. There are some 0 41 parkivay trees present but they do not present any sight obstrucfions. Sight distances for drivers approaching the intersection are good in all directions. a, I B. Existing Traffic Control Devices The En*,c/Cardinal,"Mtersect""l"on has no )ielld or stop i,ce NNith, the norm n si,gris* thus, d,,,n' N,,errs must),iield to vch�icles approaching ftom the "ght" accordan -,of- al 'ght way, e., The posted speed li't is 25 mph on both Encand, Cardinal. Traffic controls at adjacent intersections are as follows: 1 Noi Ali Eric ANYenue: No control where Eric Lane turns into Autumn AN,enue No Control at Nell Avenue and Autumn Avenue East Cardinal Lane - 3-Nvay stop at Catino Court I -way stop on Cardinal Court at Westgate Roal C. Traffic Volume Data - The Public Works Department conducted two-way 24-hour machine traffic counts on Eric Avenue both north and south of Cardinal Lane, and on Cardinal Lane east of Eric Avenue. The results of the traffic counts are shoN�m in the attached Exhibit C. During the counts, Eric A Um venue carried approx.* atelv 710 vehicles per day (N, -pd) south of Cardinal Lane and 140 i -pd north. Cardinal Lane carried appro.xmately 740 N -pd east of Eric Lane. The peak-, traffic hours occurred between 730 and 8:30 A.M. and between 4:30 and 5:30 P.M. D. Traffic Accident Data - The Village noted that w -o accidents have been reported at the Eric Ai-enue/ Cardinal Lane intersection since 1990. Both accidents occurred as NreMcles were makinR turns between Eric AN-enue and Cardinal Lane. Neither of these accidents im-olN-ed pedestrians. Copies"'of the accident reports are given in Ex.-hi'bits D and E. E. Spot Speed Study Data - No spot speed studies were performed at this M*tersection, During the field m'spection. : cars did not appear to be traN,elling in excess of the speed limit. In additio most c s I n, ar seemed to pause on Cardinal Lane as thev approached Eric AN-enue. The Mount Prospect Poli ! ce do not maintain records of speeding tickets so this ir&rmation was not available. III, WARR-tNTS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES The Illinois Mgmml .".On, Urju =11 Dak-ices {MUTCD) prescribes the legal warrants for installation of all traffic control devices including stop signs. Section 2B-5 of the M1JTCD states "because the STOP sign causes a substantial inconvenience to motorists, it should only be used where warranted. A STOP sign I ma`, be warranted at an intersection where one or more of the following conditions exist: %W Of I Intersection of a less important road with a main road %N -here application of the normal n*ght- of-way rule is unduly hazardous. � 2. Street entering a through highway or street. 3. Unsignalized intersection M* a signalized area. 4. Other intersections where a combination of high speed, restricted view, and serious accident record indicates a need for control by the STOP sign." K The manual continues "Prior to the application of these warrants consideration should be graento less • restrictiN-e measures such as the YIELD sign where a full stop * 2 is not recess my at all times." Wo STUDY FINDINGS Stop signs Nvere requested at this intersection primarily to control vehicles speeds. A speeding problem was not observed; at least during the day on which the field inspection was performed, It is our opinion that the speeds were low primarily because of driver caution concerning the lack of traffic control signing at the intersection. I. On a rninor road' at the entrance to an intersection wh= it is nec-essary to.assign right -of -m, -a to y W ro is not• necessary at, all times and where the safe approa�h speed on the maj, Od' but where, ; Ml the 11n or road exceeds 10 Us per, hour. In general, the minor leg of a T -intersection such as this intersection is the street that ends when the tNN-o roads intersect. TMs is the approach that is normally expected to �ield at an intersection. In this situation, the NN'estbo,Lm,d,,N-eh.icJes on Cardinal Lane should )*el(d to northbound and southbound, vehicles on Eric Avenue. HoAvelver th,,is, "s not happein' g on Cardinal Untsince the heavier traffic movement of this intersection is I behN-een the south and east legs. 'T,o control this and nu"riinu*,ze confusion of drii,,-ers, over who has the right-of- Wavwe recommend the installation of a yield sign on Cardirial Lane at Eric Avenue. The study did, however, idenfif , a possible conflict created by confusion of drivers over NN -bo has the right -of. way. To mitigate this, it is recommended that a YIELD sign be installed on Cardinal Lane at Eric Avenue. Respectfully Submitted, CINILTECH ENGINEERING, INC.

Spot Speed, Study Data - In order to quantify pTeVail"I"Ag vehicle spoe& m the study area, the Public Works Department conducted spot speed studies on See, -G-"= Avenue on a weekday from. 4:00 to 5:00The studies were conducted from an unmarked car using a concealed radar gun. Vehicle speeds were measured as they approached the Sha-Bonee Trail intersection and thus may not be indicative of block speeds. eeds ;day. 106 vef&les �verc measura Ile speeds ranged'between IS m, Ifithcaftemoon peak pen*od, the s ' pP 4'i 'I- t G) -seven, ofthe veb—cles M' th ,and 4 1 mph N�-ah 4n 85th, percentile speed of 3 2 mph, (s= Exhib S afternoon stud,ypenod exxceeded the posted spaod 1'=*t M the vicu"urty, of tho itersection*,,- A, sisou,'dic q problem is shoN%m by 63% of the total traffic flow moving faster than theposted speed limit.

STUDY FIN'bINGS Stop SJ*gns were reqinsted, at this M tersectilon pnmanl,,y to control vehicles speeds The speed, studies identified a spceding problen� at, least dunn the day on, m','hich vel�icle, spe,cds were measured. Indeed 63% of" the, vehicles sampled atthe Sha,-Bonee Troa"I M*tersecdon exceeded the, 25 rn posted speed, 1= , t. It should be noted that numerous traffic studies have shoN%m the installation of stop signs is not an effective means of controlling vehicle speeds. The effect of a stop sign on Nreliicle speed is li'ted to an area of approximately 150-200 feet. Some before and after stucbes have sho"m that, average, vehicles speeds can,, actuall 0 sebomfeen intersections after stop s1g, M, arlemstaflcd, because drivers try to recover a perceived y mcrea un Avenue could increase if stop s* 1, dss in travel tune. IndeecL Nve believe; m,*erap speeds on Sec -,Cm n ips are installed at, Sha, -Bon eeT, rail, as drivers attempt to make up travel time lost, to�, the stop sigfi* Other means'. such as increased enforcement should be used to reduce speeds.

This intersection is whereMount Prospect Golf Club and Rec Center are located. Why do I think Nve need a stop signs: A. Traffic f1o%A?s at a very rapid pace. (m!erage speed is 40 .MPH) B This street is the only thru street between 83 and Busse and serNees as a shortcut. C. Travelincr northbound on See -G« -un from Lonquist traffic is going do%Nnhill which results in vel-. cles ou-ccelera-Lin2r, D. Mount Prospect Golf Club creates many traffic patterns with .' ) different exits. E. Overflow street parkinaZ from the Golf Club causes one lane traffic for 2 blocks F. We have an increase of small children in the country club subdivision. Small baby boom. G. We need safety for our kids over convenience for motorist (which are all in a hurri). H The citizens in this neiPhborhood have some of the most expensive homes -v�-hich 5 contribute to the beaut), of Mount Prospect. (also eeneratine much property tax revenue) taw *"I See Exhibit A We have Lincoln Junior Hi ph at the end of the street, which the kids walk and ride their bikes. (I have noticed that the school buses exceed the speed limit as N�Iel]). fi im, I have talked to the Police Department and they can only patrol the street as time permits.
