JANONIS ~b. tJJ-~ l I~ 0& FROM: PROJECT ENGINEER DATE: JANUARY 9, 2008 SUBJECT: NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC STUDY RECOMMENDATION FOR INTERSECTION TRAFFIC CONTROL AND SPEE LIMIT CHANGES FOR ZONES 14 & 17 The Engineering Division transmits their recommendation to approve intersection traffic control and speed limit changes for Zones 14 & 17 as part of the Neighborhood Traffic Study. The Residential Intersection Traffic Control Program and Residential Speed Limit Program are the two primary traffic initiatives that are included in the current Neighborhood Traffic Study. The Residential Intersection Traffic Control Program involves reviewing all neighborhood intersections to determine the proper traffic control. The Residential Speed Limit Program involves reviewing all Village-owned streets to determine the appropriate speed limit. Both programs are being implemented on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis using today's engineering principles. The Village has been divided into 18 neighborhoods or "traffic zones" for the purpose of implementing the programs. With the assistance of a consultant, KLOA Inc., the Engineering Division has completed the study of Zones 14 and 17. The neighborhood of Zone 14 is bounded by Lincoln Street to the north, Elmhurst Road to the east, Golf Road to the south, and Busse Road to the west. Zone 17 is bounded by Golf Road to the north, Elmhurst Road to the east, Dempster Street to the south and Busse Road to the west. SUMMARY Residential Intersection Traffic Control Program A total of 53 intersections were reviewed to determine the proper traffic control in Zone 14 and a total of 41 intersections were reviewed in Zone 17. A summary of the recommendations are indicated in the tables below and on the next page. Zone 14 Intersection Traffic Control Type # of Existing Intersections # of Recommended Intersections All-Way Stop Sign Control 6 4 Two-Way/One-Way Stop Sign Control 20 48 Yield Sign Control 2 0 No Intersection Traffic Control 25 1 Total 53 53 page 2 of8 Neighborhood Traffic Study January 9, 2008 Zone 17 Intersection Traffic Control Type # of Existing Intersections # of Recommended Intersections All-Way Stop Sign Control 5 6 Two-Way/One-Way Stop Sign Control 12 34 Yield Sign Control 0 0 No Intersection Traffic Control 24 1 Total 41 41 Residential Speed Limit Program In addition to reviewing the intersections, the street system was reviewed to determine the appropriate speed limits in Zones 14 and 17. The Engineering Division also evaluated the one school within Zone 17, Robert Frost Elementary, to determine those streets that should be posted a school speed limit zone. Along those streets there would be a 20 mph speed limit during school hours when children are present. At other times, the speed limit would be 25 mph. Section 18.605 ofthe Village Code covers school speed limit zones. Therefore, a separate ordinance is not required. A summary of the recommendations are indicated in the tables below. Zone 14 Speed Limit # of Existing Miles Existing % # of Recommended Miles Recommended % 20 mph 2.7 23 0.0 0 25 mph 5.2 46 11.4 100 30 mph 3.5 31 0.0 0 Total 11.4 100 11.4 100 Zone 17 Speed Limit # of Existing Miles Existing % # of Recommended Miles Recommended % 20 mph 1.0 12 0.0 0 25 mph 2.3 28 7.5* 90 30 mph 5.0 60 0.8 10 Total 8.3 100 8.3 100 '" 0.3 miles recommended a school speed limit zone Public Notification Once the studies were completed, the first piece of information sent to each of the 3850 properties within the two neighborhoods was a brochure. The brochure provided information about the traffic study and invited them to an Open House to learn about the proposed changes. A web page that included a 12 minute video explaining the programs was created on the Village web-site as an additional avenue to get information to the public. page 3 of8 Neighborhood Traffic Study January 9, 2008 The Open House for Zones 14 and 17 was held on December 3rd at Robert Frost Elementary School. Residents could come anytime between 6:00pm & 7:30pm. The Open House included the video about the programs and an area where residents could see the recommended changes on display boards and talk with Staff. Residents could also fill out a Comment Card and provide Staff with feedback. All written comments received via the Open House, e-mail or regular mail are attached. 20 residents attended the Open House. Based on the traffic study performed by KLOA Inc. and the Engineering Division, we are recommending changes to Chapter 18 (Traffic) of the Village Code as detailed on the following pages. With the Village Board of Trustees' approval, the Engineering Division will then work with the contractor currently under contract to manufacture and install the necessary signs. The current schedule is to have the new signs installed in spring 2008.

However, they are on record with the Village. Zone 14 "Great! Thanks for listening!" "1) To alleviate cut thru traffic going west off of83 going Go-Wando to Wa-Pella to Lincoln west. 2) Control traffic on Lincoln. Example: Hillcrest in H.E." "I-Oka (the street one block east of me) is non-through street during rush hour. I am wondering what would be to make Hi-Lusi a non through street...we had the police sit on our street for about 3-4 weeks and write violations to -30 drivers with the average violation in excess of 18mph over speed limit. There is a serious danger posed by the people using our street to avoid the GolflElmhurst intersection. What is the process to give Hi Lusi the same benefit as I-Oka?" "Stop signifies slight touch of pedal which many motorists use as evidence of drivers slowing down but not stopping. Before automatic transmissions became universal it was called "second gear stop" this becomes dangerous for pedestrians to cross the street, to say nothing about other cards. They (stop signs) have only minimal effect. To have maximum effect, remove the reason for cars using side streets. Please focus on "cause and effect" remove the cause and you will have the desired effect." "Concern: increase in speed limit by Sunset Park due to number of children." "My street has sidewalks right next to the street (no parkway separating street and sidewalk). I know we want to standardize speed, but we have different factors. In the winter the snow is plowed from the street onto the sidewalk, on garbage day cans are in the middle of the sidewalk (blocking the way). Can the Village plow the sidewalks/move the sidewalks etc. to make them passable on snow days/garbage days?" "- The overall speed limit for side streets should be raised to 30 mph - consistent with the state speed limit - The speed limit for Elmhurst Road should be raised to at least 35 mph - this is a 4 lane road - Busse Road is 35 mph and only a two lane road - Please remove the speed bumps on See-Gwun - The speed limit for Lonnquist should be raised to at least 30 mph - this is a divided street which serves as a major route" "I see that you are planning on eliminating the stop signs on Robert Dr. and Sunset. Would you consider putting in speed bumps on Robert Dr. like you did on See Qwun Ave. to slow traffic? We get a lot of cut thru traffic during the rush hours when Golf Rd. backs up, people take Robert Dr. to Lonnquist over to Busse. As it is now these people don't stop at the stop signs and this is a kid friendly neighborhood." Zone 17 "Great maps, easy legends, great to have simplifications made and for you to explain them to us." "Nice presentation with positive improvements. Please address traffic flow on Linneman between Linneman and Eva. When a car is parked on southbound Linneman it forces you to drive in the northbound lane." "Would like to have only parking on one side of street on Palm between Busse & Robert. If cars are parked on both sides it is very hard to get through." "Do not remove stop signs on Robert at Palm." "The proposed stop sign on Grace at Ash is overkill. The street (Grace) is 1 block and traffic arriving southbound on Grace must slow down anyway. I am sorry to see Mt. Prospect become Harwood Heights/Norridge with stop signs every block. I would appreciate your explanation of this matter." "I can't attend the public hearing tonight at Robert Frost School, so I wanted to provide my input. The main concern I have about traffic in my neighborhood is the speed of cars traveling on Golf Road. The posted speed limit is 40 MPH, but cars often travel between 40-55 MPH on Golf through our neighborhood, which creates unsafe conditions for pedestrians and other drivers trying to enter or exit Golf Road. It is almost impossible to cross Golf Road on foot safely. If there is anyway to safely slow traffic down, I think that would be a big improvement. Also, we should consider installing a traffic control device on Golfbetween Busse Rd. and Elmhurst Rd. (perhaps at Linneman) to allow safer north- south crossing of Golf by pedestrians, bicyclists and motor vehicles (of course that may create other problems, such as noise from vehicles stopping and starting out, etc.). We should do everything we can to encourage people to get out and walk and leave their cars at home to the extent we can and Golf Road presents a major safety hazard. For example, I sometimes walk to the public library and businesses in downtown Mt. Prospect, but getting across Golf Rd. is always an adventure. If traffic volumes keep increasing we even want to consider a pedestrian bridge of some sort across Golf Rd. Otherwise Zone 17 is really going to be increasingly isolated from the rest of the Village. The other concern I have is with Cypress on the south side of its intersection with Golf. It only allows for northbound traffic only, which is disruptive to "normal" traffic patterns in the neighborhood. Teachers and parents traveling to Robert Frost School, for example can't exit southbound on Cypress from Golf and thus they have to take non-feeder streets like Lancaster or others. It would be great if someday we could get the Cypress/Golf intersection fixed to allow southbound traffic from Golf. Thank you for seeking residents' input on the Neighborhood Traffic Study." 1/1 0/08 ml 1/9/08 mla ORDINANCE NO.

Lisa Angell, Village Clerk INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM ~ " r,~ou~;T ~ ~RIJ3P~C~ ~ Mount Proepec:t Village of Mount Prospect Fire Department TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: MICHAEL J. FIGOLAH, FIRE CHIEF DATE: JANUARY 10,2008 SUBJECT: NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING ACADEMY MEMBERSHIP RENEW AI/INTERGOVERNMENT AL AGREEMENT The Fire Department is requesting approval to renew its membership with the Northeastern Illinois Public Safety Training Academy (NIPST A). Funds for the NIPST A membership were approved in the 2008 budget. In addition to a signed agreement the attached Resolution must be adopted by the Village Board for official membership in this agency. NIPST A is an intergovernmental agency comprised of twenty-nine (29) municipalities, fire protection districts, and other public and private organizations that have combined energies and resources to create a regional public safety training facility (see attachment). NIPST A is designed to meet the needs of its members by providing ongoing training of fire, police, and public works personnel. Located in Glenview, NIPST A was made possible following the 1993 announcement of the closure of the 1,100-acre Glenview Naval Air Station. The benefits of being a member ofNIPSTA include the ability to conduct live fire training, driver training, confined space exercises, technical rescue training, and numerous classroom and hands on training. The majority of this training is required annual training that has been difficult to accomplish without specialized facilities. There are economic savings in addition to our membership. The Fire Department conducts a new- hire physical ability test at NIPSTA every two years. As a member, we will save approximately $5,000 in each testing cycle. Many of the classes are substantially discounted or free for members. The number and quality of training courses has grown over the last couple of years. Attached is a list of Fire Service classes for 2008. Numerous members of the Police and Fire Department completed the National Incident Management System (NIMS) training at NIPSTA. Also in 2008, we will participate in regional training exercises at NIPST A to better prepare our department for large scale incidents and disasters. It is my recommendation to renew membership in an amount not to exceed $18,780 and enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Northeastern Illinois Public Safety Training Academy. Funds are available in account #0014202-540402 that is on page #180 in the 2008 Budget Book.
