WIT
In the 2018 Strategic Plan, pedestrian and bicyclist safety in high volume
vehicular traffic corridors was identified as a top priority. Specifically, the Village
Board recognized that many of the highways and arterial streets throughout the
Village are difficult for peda-cyclists to traverse and, therefore, tend to isolate
neighborhoods.
To ameliorate this problem, staff initiated a process of examining high volume
traffic corridors with the intent of identifying opportunities to improve roadway
crossing safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. These corridors include Central
Road, Route 83 (Elmhurst Road/Main Street), Euclid Avenue, Wolf Road, Rand
Road, Kensington Road, Northwest Highway, Golf Road, Algonquin Road, Oakton
Street, and Busse Road.
Staff began this process by participating in two (2) safety engineering evaluations
of the Central Road corridor. One study was initiated by the Village. It included an
in-depth pedestrian safety analysis of the corridor by the Ciorba Group.
The second study was a "Road Safety Review" of Central Road conducted by the
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Federal Highway
Administration at the request of the Village. The scope of work included analysis of
the roadway's safety performance with an emphasis on pedestrian crossings.
These studies were presented to the Village Board at the July 10, 2018 Committee
1
of the Whole meeting. Comprehensively, they resulted in development of several
peda-cyclist crossing improvement projects in the Central Road corridor including:
• Central Road and Emerson Street immediately adjacent to the Public Library
(crossing substantially completed),
• Central Road and Pine Street
• Central Road and Cathy Lane, We Go Trail, and Weller Lane intersections,
near Melas Park and the Central Community Center.
Staff will provide an update on the status of each project. A map of the locations
is included in the attached presentation.
In addition, staff will introduce plans to initiate the next phase of corridor safety
improvements for pedestrians and cyclists along Northwest Highway.
Finally, staff will also provide an update on the status of proposed improvements
at the Busse Avenue and Main Street (IL Route 83/Elmhurst Road) intersection.
Notably, discussion will highlight difficulties in making this crossing a reality, due
to vehicular turn movement restrictions stipulated by IDOT should a crossing be
installed.
Alternatives
1. Village Board concurrence with staff recommendations on the aforementioned
crossings.
2. Action at the discretion of the Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff seeks Village Board concurrence with plans to implement peda-cyclist
crossing improvements along the Central Road corridor as well as proposed plans
to develop similar projects along the Northwest Highway corridor.
In addition, staff seeks Village Board concurrence with proposed disposition of
pedestrian crossing improvements at the Busse Avenue and Main Street
intersection.
