Minutes were I 111111111pliql9lim! 34A M"M1091 -mmi . .. .. .. ...... Pi Mayor Gerald Farley provided general introduction of this topic. He stated the Village Board has previously rejected the original plan proposed by IDOT. This rejection was made in March of 1994 through a letter sent directly to Illinois Department of Transportation. Since that rejection by the Village Board, the Village staff has worked with State elected officials and IDOT to get the roadway revised to a point where it would minimize disruption and impact on the community. He is requesting the Village Board come to some type of consensus by the end of the meeting in order to provide direction to the staff to further direct the project with IDOT. 1 Vlllag�e Manager Janonis stated,that after, the Village Board rejection, staff entered x,imately 18 months. Staff focused Into exten's"I've disouss"ons w,,h*ch lasted appro, on im, constructin,g the roadway at the same time provin,g the road'way �and re minimizing the impact on the residents and the taking of right-of-way of residents along the Route. The total cost of the project has been reduced from approximately,$7 million to $4 million. Patrick Pechinck, IDOT Project Engineer, spoke. He stated there has been rIOJ extensive open dialogue between the Village staff and IDOT to come to this revised plan which is to be presented tonight. He stated that assuming the Village w Board approves the revised plan, IDOT will designate this as a priority project and will attempt to get funding for the project as early as 1997, if possible. Christopher Snyder, ID ' OT Project Manager, spoke. He stated this project was originally envisioned in the 1989s. However, funding limitations at that time limited the en-gineering necessary for this project to proceed. The roadway has basically outlived its useful life and is in bad need of reconstruction. The focus of the improvements will be to improve traffic flow and safety. Mr. Snyder provided a general overview of the original plan as submitted by IDOT to the Village Board in 1994. He then provided a general overview of the revised plans which have been submitted for the Village Board to review this evening. Among the items revised: Golf Road intersection with Route 83 has been redesigned to eliminate the dual left turn lanes as originally proposed. 2. There will be four 11 -foot lanes compared to, the previous five 12 -foot lanes. Left turn lanes will be installed at Lonnquist and Council Trail. 3. The center line of the roadway has been shifted east or west to minimize the right-of-way necessary for the improvement and to include some parkway between the road and the sidewalks. 4. The barrier islands as previously proposed at Pine and Wille have been eliminated. 5. The roadway will match the current parkway which exists at Prospect Avenue., K 6. The access to Milburn will be restricted to right -in and right -out only. 7. Tree removal has been reduced from approximately 75% to an estimated, 47%. However, it is assumed that some trees will be removed in addition to the 47% due to possible damage to the root systems during the construction process. 8., Right-of-way is needed from only four properties compared to the previous needs of the original plan. He further stated that it would be their intention to keep one lane open in either direction, however, in order to speed the project along, he would recommend a detour be implemented for southbound traffic and one lane north remain open during the construction phase. He felt that with the detour in place, the vast majority of the work could be completed within one construction season. He also stated that business access would be maintained during the construction process. General comments of the Village Board members included the following items: A discussion ensued concerning the type of material to be used; whether it was concrete or blacktop. A discussion concerning the time frame of the project and possible detours during paving operations. Some Board members requested IDOT consider restricting truck traffic during the construction phase. Board members were also concerned about business access during the construction phase. A concern was raised relating to the shifting of the roadway center line. IDOT representative Chris Snyder responded to these questions by stating that in all likelihood, some truck detours would be necessary due to the limited width of the single lane open during the construction phase. Also, the shifting of the center line is so minor, he felt that typical drivers would not notice the change. Tom Gallanis, 606 can -Do a, spoke. He stated that he feels this proposed revised proposal is a done deal and he does not see how safety will be improved by this improvement. Manager Janonis stated that staff would not have brought this proposal forward without extensive discussion in an attempt to address issues which the Board had previously discussed in 1994. 3 Serena Allen, 419 South 1 -Oka, stated she is a new resident and feels that the State's overall goal is to increase traffic on this street and has concerns that there may be plans to increase the speed on the street after the construction is completed. IDOT responded that in order to increase traffic, there would have to be an increase in the number of lanes to handle more vehicles. ManagerJanonis stated that the 30 mile -per -hour speed limit has been determined to be adequate by the Village and IDOT and a consideration for lowering the speed further would not be possible without an IDOT study showing the need for the reduction. He stated the Village has implemented a significant speed enforcement effort along Route 83 over the past 18 months and has written over 200 tickets for speeding. Conrad Majoeski, 206 Orchard, spoke. He felt the trees along the street were a nice feature, unique to Mount Prospect, and encouraged as many trees be saved as possible. Thomas Gallanims, Sr, 606 Can-Dota, spoke. He felt that too much time was spent reviewing the original plan to the audience in order to enhance the value of the revised plan. Arthur McKay, 505 South Wille, spoke. He wanted to confirm that the traffic lights would be improved and the timing improved to improve traffic flow. Dan Sullivan, 502 South Pine, spoke. He asked when Route 83 north of U.S. 14 would be reconstructed. He also requested that IDOT consider reducing speed north of U. S. 14 also. He stated that he is not supportive of any improvements to the intersection of Rand, 83 and Kensington. IDOT stated there are ' no plans in their five-year time frame to even study Route 83 north of U. S. 140 Edith Wilson, 907 South Elmhurst, spoke. She stated that she has seen an increase in truck traffic over the years and is concerned about the size of the trucks using the road. She stated that she has seen 22 -wheel trucks utilizing the road and feels that such large trucks would damage the pavement and shorten its life. 4 KenWalter, 318 South Wille,, spoke. He stated that the Village Board appears to have addressed many of the items that came out of the original Public Hearing. However, he still would request the Police Department enforce the speed limit and weight restrictions aggressively on Route 83. He also' requested School Zone Speed Limit signs be considered to be placed around St. Raymond's School. Georgia Malone, 606 South Elmhurst, spoke. She stated that she is a new resident to Mount Prospect and urges the Village Board to reconsider the revised Plan. She stated that she wanted to live in a mature town and this change to this street would alter her image of Mount Prospect. She felt that the cars are currently going too fast on the street now and the improvements will further increase the speed. June O'Donohue, Five West Orchard Place, spoke. She requested the, Village Board and IDOT consider changing the numbered State Route designation from Route 83 to another roadway. Mayor Farley read a letter into the record from George Risler, One East Milburn. He stated that Mr. Risler was instrumental in garnering the petition opposing the plan as originally proposed by IDOT and is satisfied with the revised plans as proposed by IDOT at this time. Mayor Farley polled the Village Board members to determine their support of the revised plan as submitted by IDOT. Trustee Wilks stated she is supportive of the revised plan. Trustee Corcoran stated that he still has concerns about business access and would encourage I DOT to make sure the road is constructed to have a 40 -year life span. He is supportive of the revised plan as submitted, Trustee Hoefert stated he is supportive of the revised plan even though he wished Route 83 was not going through the middle of town, he felt this is the least obtrusive plan possible. Mayor Farley stated that he is supportive of the revised plan. Trustee Hendricks stated he is supportive of the revised plan. Trustee Clowes, stated he is supportive of the revised plan, however, he would request a review of left -turn restrictions at unsignalized intersections. Trustee Skowron stated she is supportive of the revised plan also, 9 LM M Consensus o -T' the Village Board was to direct staff to draft appropriate documents to 1130T supporting the Revised Plan as approved by the Village Board including the comments and concerns the Board brought'up as part of the construction phase, 16 FAI'll'I'M # A Village Manager Janonis reminded th scheduled for October 14 at 9:00 a.m. Make a Difference Day is scheduled Boxwood. k'I . audience that Coffee with Councl is at the Village Hall.
