10.1 Arterial Bike Network Study Update
Subject Meeting Fiscal Impact (Y/N) Dollar Amount Budget Source Category Type Information Item Cover Page Arterial Bike Network Study Update February 18, 2025 - REGULAR MEETING OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT VILLAGE BOARD N Not applicable. Not applicable. COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE DISCUSSION Presentation The Village received a grant from the United States Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program to develop a bicycle plan in 2011. Technical expertise and guidance were provided by the Active Transportation Alliance and Sam Schwartz Engineering. The Village Board adopted the Mount Prospect Bicycle Plan by resolution on February 7, 2012. Subsequently, staff provided the Village Board with a Bicycle Plan status update at the February 11, 2020, Committee of the Whole meeting. In addition, continued work on bike plan implementation is a Top Priority Goal in the Village's Strategic Plan. The Bike Plan Essentially, the Mount Prospect Bicycle Plan is comprised of three (3) phases. Phase I includes installation of striped shared bike lanes, signed bike routes, and certain intersection improvements. This work leveraged existing facilities, such as the road network, to connect primary destinations (i.e., parks, government offices, etc.). Generally, these improvements were cheaper to implement and required less regulatory coordination. Phases II & III include bike routes and other infrastructure improvements along arterial roads, uniformly under the jurisdiction of other agencies (such as the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and/or the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways CCDOTH), that will provide connections to Phase I routes and adjacent communities. Substantial progress has been made in the 13 years since adoption of the plan. For example, almost all Phase 1 work has been completed and some significant Phase II projects have also been completed. The Problem The remaining projects pose significant challenges. Notably: Most projects require work in arterial rights -of -way that the Village does not own or control. All the projects introduce new bike facilities to high volume, high-speed roads. All the projects are expensive. The Arterial Bike Network Study The Village Board awarded a contract to Civiltech Engineering of Itasca, IL to continue the development of the bike plan by performing an Arterial Bike Network Study in October 2023. The purpose of the study was to develop a strategy to construct bike facilities along high traffic areas in the Village, completing the planning process for phases II and III of the Village's Bicycle Plan. The scope of work for this study garnered input from roadway owners to determine what type of bike facility improvements they would allow, input from bike riders to determine what type of facilities they would utilize, and input from landowners adjacent to proposed bike improvements to understand property access, aesthetics, or security concerns they might harbor. In addition, the scope of work also considered wider regional bike plans, transportation and transit plans, vehicle and bike traffic data, and best engineering practices applied in the greater Chicago area. A draft copy of the Arterial Bike Network Study final report is attached for review. Also enclosed is an executive summary of the report. The draft Arterial Bike Network Study was reviewed by the Transportation Safety Commission at their February 10, 2025 meeting. Draft minutes of that meeting are attached. Discussion Alternatives 1.

ABNS_Village Board —Presentation M11Mill 1111111 In 2012, the Village of Mount Prospect adopted a Bicycle Plan to "create a safe, comfortable and bicycle -friendly environment in Mount Prospect, which encourages people of all ages to use bicycles for everyday transportation and enjoyment." Phase 1 of this plan mainly includes on -street bike routes along low volume, residential streets. The second and third phases of this study include bike routes along arterial roads, which are mostly under the jurisdiction of other agencies. The Arterial Bike Network Study was initiated to develop a strategy to construct bike facilities along 18 arterial and other high traffic corridors in the Village, completing the planning process for Phases 2 and 3 of the Bicycle Plan. The Village employed a robust community engagement approach to obtain input from as many stakeholders and community members as possible. Community outreach consisted of the following events: • Open House #1 1 February 2024 • Village Block Party I July 2024 • Celebration of Culture I August 2024 • Open House #2 1 October 2024 In addition, a community survey, an interactive map, project website, and project email address were available for the public to provide input. Meetings with various stakeholders were held to ensure the project aligns with the needs of the community and other departments. The project team coordinated with the following agencies and institutions: • Schools: Prospect High School, District 57, District 26, District 59 • Illinois Commerce Commission • Mount Prospect Park District • Cook County Forest Preserve • Pace Suburban Bus • River Trails Park District • Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (CCDOTH) • Illinois Department of Transportation • Surrounding communities: Prospect Heights, Des Plaines, Elk Grove, and Arlington Heights Wi Community feedback was synthesized with a comprehensive existing conditions analysis and a review of local and multi -jurisdictional planning studies to develop corridor recommendations. Preliminary engineering analyses were completed to better understand the impacts and feasibility of the proposed recommendations. 200-scale plans were developed to illustrate the proposed routing, potential tree and utility impacts were verified and estimates of required right-of-way acquisition were completed. Eighteen corridors were reviewed to assess feasibility and recommend an appropriate type of facility. As shown in the table to the right, sidepaths (paths alongside roadways) are the most prevalent recommendation. Sidepaths are most suitable for higher speed and volume roads since they are completely separated from vehicular lanes. A primary study goal is to develop a plan to implement bike facilities on the arterial network corridors. Each corridor was evaluated using metrics in the following categories: • User Comfort • Community Connectivity • Right -of -Way Impacts • Project Complexity Based on these criteria and considering input from the community, stakeholders, and Village staff, the following corridors were determined to be near term priorities: • Euclid Avenue (Burning Bush Lane to Des Plaines River Trail) • Kensington Road (Forest Avenue to Des Plaines River Road) • Mount Prospect Road (Northwest Highway to Rand Road) • Busse Road (1-90 to Golf Road) • ComEd Trail (Crossing Improvements at Busse Road and Elmhurst Road) Programming level cost estimates were prepared for each corridor to assess likely engineering and construction costs. Potential sources of state, local, and federal funding were reviewed to determine grant programs that are applicable to Mount Prospect.

The Bicycle Plan identifies three infrastructure phases. • Phase I includes on -street bike routes along low volume, residential streets that connect to key destinations such as parks, schools, shopping, restaurants, and adjacent communities. Since 2012, the Village has installed 28 miles of on -street bike routes completing Phase I of the Bicycle Plan. • Phases 11 & III includes bike routes along arterial roads, often under the jurisdiction of other agencies that will provide connections to Phase I routes and adjacent communities. The Arterial Bike Network Study will develop a strategy to construct bike facilities along arterial and other high traffic streets in the Village, completing the planning for Phases and III of the Bicycle Plan. The corridors selected for the arterial bike network utilize roadways that provide important connectivity across the Village. Completing the network along these routes is crucial to enhancing residents' access to key destinations while improving safety for cyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities. The 18 corridors of the arterial bike network, which include two potential trail connections between arterial roadways, are shown on the next page. Study Area The study area encompasses the Village of Mount Prospect, with a focus on the identified arterial corridors. It is recognized, though, that residents' destinations may be outside of the Village, or those visiting and working in the Village may reside in other communities. Connecting to the larger regional network is an important component of the plan and was taken into consideration throughout the study. • Assess bike facility options that improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities Ensure the recommended strategy enhances resident access to key community destinations • Incorporate community priorities and feedback 6 Arterial Bike Network Study u Camp A Y1 M t DTW:Y 8 Rd (amp McDWaki Rd %j��ir UCIV0. tVL' J { 1 Kerrsiraqtcror) Rd00 16, 10 a rr Fri r��k e� Arterial Bike Network ' 'N 0� / AI,�, Sidepath In Design 0�j�/r Trail/Sid arh On -Street Bike Route 1.

The project team kept this objective in mind throughout the development and execution ofthe study. The Mount Prospect Arterial Bike Network Study began in December 2023. At this time, the project team kicked off the project and initiated the existing conditions research and [OrnrnunitY engagement activities. An Open house and pop-up meetings were he|d, outlined further in Section 2: Community Outreach, togather initial feedback about challenges and opportunities along these corridors. AnExisting Conditions Report was developed based On the Study I ~rneN~ne teann's analysis of the study area and input from community. This formed a basis for assessing designs and prioritization of the corridors. The next stage of the study was developing corridor improvements. This is outlined in Section 3: Recommendations. Throughout this process, key stakeholders provided input through one-on-one meetings and a public open house. Following corridor design d2v2|Opnneevaluation, the pr �ect - team established prio corridor designs can bE ization criteria.

Building on previous plans, prioritizing transparency throughout the project, and engaging the public early and often is essential in developing a plan for which the community has ownership, and in establishing design concepts that reflect the community's vision. Input was collected through multiple channels, including a public survey, an onli map, two in -person pop-up events, two public open houses, one-on-one stakehol and by email. The project team also created a project website and project ema accessing all project information and ensuring community members could easil) the project team. This input directly informed the recommendations as well as t criteria and phasing.

Open House #1 The first open house for this project was held on February 21, 2024 at Mount PrO5peCt'3 Village Hm|| from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Community members had the opportunity to |OOk at exhibit boards, participate in input activities, and converse with project team members. The exhibit bO8ndS included: Study Overview and (SO8|5, Study Timeline, Existing Conditions, Level of Comfort 8L Bike Facility Options, Arterial Bike Network Corridor Locator Map, Corridor Prioritization Activity. Additional input activities included a survey station with multiple laptops, 8 corridor prioritization activity with colored dots (to receive feedback On 1st, 3rd priority corridors), and post -it notes which could be added to an aerial rn8p of the Village. Pop -Up Meetings To further promote the interactive map and public \,A/ Arterial Bike Network Study 13 Interactive Input Map and Corridor Prioritization Survey A brief online survey was deployed in conjunction with an interactive input map. The survey allowed community members to select their top three corridors within the arterial bike network that should be prioritized. The interactive input map helped gather site -specific input from the community on where bicycle facilities should be located, and what improvements should be made to ensure safe access and connectivity for people biking and walking. As the project team progressed to arterial bike network development and design, they held one- on-one stakeholder meetings, and presented draft concepts to the community at a second open house. Stakeholder Meetings One-on-one meetings were held with key community and regional stakeholders. These meetings provided an opportunity for more in-depth discussions related to specific topics, such as schools, parks, transit and railroad coordination, to ensure the project recommendations align with the needs of the community and with plans of other agencies and departments. The project team met with the following agencies and institutions: • Schools: Prospect High School, District 57, District 26, District 59 • Illinois Commerce Commission • Mount Prospect Park Coutv Forest • River Trails Park District • Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (CCDOTH) artment of Transportation The project team also coordinated with surrounding communities to gain a better understanding of their bicycle network, future plans, and priorities.

The public meeting was held at Mount Prospect's Village Hall from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Community members had the opportunity to look at exhibit boards, participate in input activities, and discuss their ideas with or provide feedback to project team members. Exhibit boards included: Study Overview and Goals, Study Timeline, Engagement Overview, Bike Facility Type Overviews, Arterial Bike Network Corridor Recommendations Map, Bike Crossing Enhancement Toolbox, and recommendation visualizations at various locations. A large aerial map of the Village with all the corridor recommendations was available, on which community members could place post -it notes with comments. The project team also had corridor packets available, which contained preliminary engineering designs for each corridor. Project Website and Email A project website, email address and project -specific branding was created at the beginning of this project. The website provided a one -stop shop for all project materials and updates. All open house materials were posted to the website and comment periods extended at least three weeks following an open house to allow community members to view materials virtually and provide input. General comments were welcome, though, at any time throughout the project. All images below are \,A/ Arterial Bike Network Study 15 What IIII °°l iiir Throughout the various engagement opportunities, the project team received valuable feedback. The themes below emerged from community input. 16 Arterial Bike Network Study \,A/ Existing Conditions Review The Existing Conditions Report provided an in-depth review of each corridor in the Village of Mount Prospect's arterial bike network, and was based on a compilation of various dataset and plan reviews, discussions with Village staff, and insights from community members. The full Existing Conditions Report, including a summary of local and regional plans or projects that relate to this study, can be reviewed in Appendix A. Understanding the existing barriers, improvement ideas, and priorities of the Village and community provided a base from which to develop bike recommendations for the Village's arterial bike network that also meet the needs of the community. A few maps created for the report are shown on the following pages. III s iii e,°„ � e °�°a ea a Safety Addressing safety concerns for people biking, walking, or rolling was among one of the top community concerns. The arterial bike network corridors account for 63% of all serious injury crashes and 58% of all bicycle and pedestrian crashes throughout the Village. Based on a crash hot spot analysis conducted along the arterial bike network between 2018-2022 (for crashes involving an injury across all modes), the top locations potentially experiencing the highest safety concerns included: • Rand Rd & • IL-83/Elmhurst Rd & Euclid • Des Plaines River Rd & Eucl • IL-83/Elmhurst Rd • IL-83/Elmhurst Rd E • Busse Rd & Golf Rd • Busse Rd & Algonquin Rd • Mount Prospect Rd & Golf Rd • IL-83/Elmhurst Rd & Dempster St • IL-83/Elmhurst Rd & Algonquin Rd Between 2018-2022, one fatal crash involving someone walking occurred along Golf Road near Busse, and 13 serious injury crashes involving someone walking or biking also occurred along the arterial bike network. The various analyses included reviewing datasets related to , r following information: • Bike routes • Transitj/ • Sidi a1 `'`; aps iay jurisdiction/ es • of spots and crashes involving //ZJ Mpe MOM or biking (2018-2022) nity-oriented land uses Existing Class I and II truck routes • Truck traffic (as a % of total traffic) • Major and local roadway projects • Trees in the right-of-way • ComEd utilities Connectivity and Road/Traffic Conditions The Village has a robust existing network of on -street bike routes on low -stress, mostly residential roadways spanning the entire Village. Implementing any of the corridor recommendations developed as part of this study along the arterial bike network would further enhance safer, more efficient bike connections to the places Mount Prospect community members and visitors are trying to reach locally and beyond. The arterial bike network typically experiences higher vehicular traffic volumes and speeds. Developing bike facilities that protect users as much as possible is key to ensuring safety while still boosting connectivity.

When completed, these routes will form a comprehensive network, enhancing connectivity throughout the Village for those commuting, accessing local destinations, or riding for recreation. Eighteen routes were evaluated along arterial roadways within the Village of Mount Prospect. These routes are shown on the map below. The recommendations vary based on the size, traffic, and land use context of each street. The proposed network mainly consists of sidepaths, with a few on -street bike lanes recommended where appropriate. The network recommendations were developed based on community engagement and a comprehensive existing con analysis. The project team evaluated data such as traffic volumes, ro functional classifications, vehicles speeds, roadway widths, a rights -of -way, and other traffic conditions. Previous studies and were reviewed to inform the network recommendations; The project team surveyed the community to obtain feedback on desirable and challenging biking and walking routes. The Village and project team had several community engagement touchpoints which occurred prior to developing the final network recommendations. Using this information, the project team developed were appropriate for the connected to key destir the community. This cha considered and presents a list of treatments that can make challenging street crossings safer and more comfortable. This is followed by network recommendations by corridor. Information is presented on each of the 18 corridors, including a map, existing conditions, corridor recommendations, community destinations to which the corridorwould connect, and a conceptual cross-section showing how the proposed designs would look. 22 Arterial Bike Network Study \�v Can a Pv8cDonald Rd ➢UyuYQuuyyJyN1��IImIIVuuuYii�IluuuuuuudV@I )yy��� //' EuadidAve Kensington Rd / r00 1dlJlmriai/i1lGJ/ia�mfOn lf) � HU HU 'All J 4 '" uuum 'Is id cv$i'i'XGI "zfl w"ww,' kw OEM rEff, G Y ii..iomii/%i/�op�iopo//%O mYu��WV�°,, ,ux you, nuru, maa�d a� nk ul�hSiY�i�cr�n%u H Legend Park School Metro Rail Metro Train Station Neighbor Community Bike Facility Seminole Ln McDonald Rd Existing Bike Network Recommended Arterial Bike Network On -Street Bike Route Bike Lanes Trail/Sidepath — Sidepath W,W,W,W Sidepath In Design Multiple Options Alternative Routes for Infeasible Segments No Bike Facility Improvements Recommended as Part of this Study* '(oi idors or sega,w is not, recoirrrnended chle to inode(,c)att right of llvoy and/or ow,roll infeasibility of irn,rlearentrstion Arterial Bike Network Study 23 Types of Bike Facilities Considered Bicyclists vary in age, skill, and experience. While some cyclists are confident in their abilities and don't mind riding on the street, the vast majority of are cautious and would rather ride in a space separated from traffic. Rather than venture out and ride on the roadways, these people will stay home or find other ways to recreate or travel to their destination. Even those who are more confident likely prefer low stress facilities. One ofthe goals ofthis study is to recommend bike facilities that are best suited for the roadway context while providing a high level of safety for cyclists of all ages and abilities. Creating a less stressful and more comfortable bicycle network can make cycling more appealing to a broader portion of the population, removing barriers and encouraging more people to use the bike network. Therefore, sidepaths are the primary facility type recommended along arterial roadways within Mount Prospect. Bike lanes are recommended on a couple of routes within the Village. These routes have lower traffic speeds and volumes and would be comfortable for people riding on the street. In most cases, bike lanes can be installed relatively quickly without widening the pavement, however some reworking of the space would be needed (e.g., restriping). What are the different types of bike Ian Advisory Bike Lanes Advisory bike lanes provide a ded that are too narrow for convent) lanes are narrowed to accom'mc with dashed striping.

The white line separating the two is solid. Bike lanes can be painted green to further differentiate them from vehicle travel lanes and to make drivers more aware that other modes may be present on the roadway. The minimum width of a bike lane is 5 feet, however 6 feet is more desirable if space allows. S 24 Arterial Bike Network Study \�v Buffered Bike Lanes Buffered bike lanes are similar to conventional bike lanes, but are paired with a designated buffer space separating the bicycle lane from the adjacent motor vehicle travel lane and/or parking lane, thus providing extra comfort for bicyclists. These bike lanes are suitable for streets with moderate traffic and extra space. They can increase safety for all users and reduce the likelihood of crashes and injuries.

Therefore, mixing of cars and bikes within the curb -to -curb space is inadvisable. Therefore, sidepaths are recommended along the majority of the arterial street corridors throughout Mount Prospect. These facilities will accommodate people biking and walking within a space seaarated from motor vehicle traffic. at are sidepaths? \n/ Arterial Bike Network Study 25 Bike Crossing Enhancement Toolkit"'lllllllU°!!���°10°IIII!lo�����������° The proposed bike routes within Mount Prospect cross all types of streets and many of these roadways are quite busy. These heavily trafficked intersections can pose barriers for people Unsignalized Crosswalk cycling and walking and should be enhanced when new bike facilities are constructed. There are a variety of treatments that can improve safety and comfort for path users as they cross the street. These are just a few examples of common complete street design tools that can Signalized be used to make safer, more accessible, and more connected streets throughout the Village. Crosswalk Typically serve as tools for traffic calming by bringing the roadway level to that of the sidewalk (e.g., roadway flush with height of curb). They force vehicles to slow before passing over the crosswalk, providing a level pedestrian/bicyclist path of travel from curb to curb. They are commonly used on minor, street crossings to reduce turning speeds. Pedestrian Refuge Island Pedestrian refuge islands buffer and protect pedestrians and cyclists crossing wide or busy streets, enabling them to cross in two stages. Pedestrian and/or warn drivers that bicycle crossing is for Pedestrians in Protected Intersection Protected intersections separate motor vehicle and cyclist traffic by offsetting the bike crossings. Corner islands create areas for cyclists to queue while slowing driver speeds and improving visibility between motorists and people biking. They can also be applied to streets with two-way protected bike lanes. Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon Rectangular rapid flash beacons (RRFBs) are highly visible warning devices, using push- button active flashing yellow LED lights to supplement standard pedestrian crossing warning signs at mid -block and other unsignalized crossing locations. Bicycle Detection Inductive loops, radar, or video technologies can be used to detect cyclists approaching an intersection. Bicycle detection can enable cyclists to call a signal without mounting the curb to use a push button, or activate crossing devices such as RRFBs at an unsignalized intersection. /muffle ."our( (^, I onv (" t:'A 26 Arterial Bike Network Study \�v Bike Push Buttons Bike push buttons allow cyclists to call the traffic signal without dismounting their bikes. Bike push buttons can be provided using separate posts or can be mounted on extensions from existing signal poles. These can also be used to activate flashers at unsignalized intersections. Countdown Signals Pedestrian countdown signals dis how many seconds remain to cro street. Countdown signals increas comfort level of people walking a biking and can be especially help young cyclists and elderly pedest navigating wide crosswalks. tslKe IUrn tsox meaucea Vorner maan Turn boxes provide designated spaces for cyclists to make left turns across mutli- lane roads. Cyclists wait for green signal indications within the designated bike box, eliminating the need for cyclists to merge with traffic and wait for adequate gaps in oncoming traffic to turn left. ln,mi, ,, ',,ourw t urnhrnlrlr,, PSI' Corner radius size influences the speed of turning traffic and affects the length of crosswalk. Reducing curb radii creates a shorter crossing distance for pedestrians and encourages drivers to slow down when making right turns. �rrulra,!r,,urrrr, /0 Bicycle Crossing Markings Intersection crossing markings guide the path of cyclists through the intersection and alert drivers to the presence of cyclists. These makings can be colored green in high -traffic areas to further alert motorists and cyclists of potential conflicts. They can also be used at crosswalks and intersections with multi -use trails. Im ary, lmurrn Irfo!w� IrmO(n v Corner Island and Right -Turn Slip Lanes Corner islands ("pork chop" islands) are raised triangular islands placed at an intersection between a right -turn slip lane and through -travel lanes. Well -designed slip lanes provide pedestrians with refuges and a right turn lane designed to optimize the right turning motorist's view of the pedestrian and of vehicles to their left.

For more in-depth designs of each corridor, refer to Appendix B to view 200'-scale plan sheets. The plan sheets were developed to better understand impacts and feasibility of the proposed recommendations.

However, the Tollway does not permit bicycle facilities within their property. No bike facility recommended as part of this study Q Arterial Bike Network Study 99 Ol//Iia,,,. Il: Network Implementation One of the goals of this study is to have an implementation plan for all arterial network corridors. Implementation will take time, funding, and in some cases, further study to determine the best feasible solutions. This section provides cost estimates, identifies funding and grant opportunities, and details additional resources to help plan the next steps in further building out Mount Prospect's entire bike network. I111:ll,'1 IIII ° iiii ii t ti l Projects The evaluation criteria and methods used to determine the feasibility, connectivity, and user experience of each study corridor were guided by public and stakeholder input, as well as the existing conditions analysis. Each corridor was evaluated to determine its ability to meet the study's objectives and goals. Each criterion is highlighted below and describes how each corridor was evaluated against the criteria, which ultimately informed corridor implementation phasing. Evaluation Criteria Twelve criteria were used to evaluate all corridors. For each criterion, the corridor was given an impact rating between "more positive" and "more negative" (see the Evaluation Matrix). Segments User comfort on bikeway segments was assessed qualitatively based on factors like how close a facility would be to the road, continuity of the path without stops or crossovers, and the speed and volume of the adjacent traffic. Intersections / Driveways The frequency of conflicting streets and access points, roadway size, and volume.. of traffic at intersections and driveways was assessed to determine comfort for cyclists crossing these conflict points along a particular corridor. Local, Higher facilitii a lomp sea es within the I to neighboring Dike routes that would connect to many local and regional destinations received higher ratings for this evaluation criterion. Public Support Ratings determined based on a voting corridor prioritization activity held during this study's first public open house. Laird Acquisition The estimated quantity of right-of-way needed to construct the recommended bike facility is directly correlated to the rating in this category. Tree Removal The estimated number of trees requiring removal was quantified to obtain an estimated impact for this category. In many cases, trees could be replanted in different locations to compensate. Utility Coordination A review of overhead electric lines was completed to determine the potential need to relocate ComEd utility poles to construct bicycle facilities. Projects with fewer potential utility conflicts with poles received higher ratings. Structure Modifications Corridors where structural work such as retaining walls or box culvert modifications were rated lower than those that would not require similar work. Cost Ratings determined based on the preliminary estimated costs to construct a recommended bicycle facility within each corridor. Agency Coordination Projects that require coordination with other agencies (IDOT, Cook County, Union Pacific Railroad, etc) can be more complicated to design and construct. Ratings were assigned based on the estimated amount of coordination required with other agencies. 102 Arterial Bike Network \�V Local + Length Primary Intersections Local Bike Regional Public Land Tree utility Structure Agency Corridor (miles) Facility Type Jurisdiction Segment + Driveways Plans Network Destinations Support Acquisition Removals Coordination Modifications Cost Coordination Seminole Ln Mount Prospect Pro. oer l Heryh(s Bike loath 1.2 Bike Lanes prospect Heights to Des Noines River Rd Des Plaines River Rd IDOT, Forest Kensington to Seminole 1.5 Sidepath Preserves of Cook County Camp McDonald Rd 0.9 Sidepath CCDOTH Rand to Elmhurst Camp McDonald Rd Wolf to Des P(aunes 07 Bike Lanes CCDOTH River Rd Euclid Ave„ Rand to l ur rrn d 8u,.h 2.4 Sidepath CCDOTH As Euclid ve ���nrA Bush to River Trod}es 0.6 Sidepath CCDOTH P(ai Rand Rd�%%i%%�i Weagewood (0 1.1 Sidepath IDOT (.urop McDonald Rive) l Kensington voto Des /Yair�rs 2.8 Sidepath IDOT, Prospect / J Mount Rive) Ka Wolf l Metro RdMoun is ospect 1.8 Cycle Track ItDOT spect f � He MountCentrpRdpr,ci to INo(/ 0.8 Sidepath Mount Prospect Central Rd 1.2 Sidepath IDOT Audrey la Narthwed iiwy Northwest Hwy F'rnsLrert to V�lalermanrr 2.0 Sidepath IDOT Mount Prospect Rdiiiiiii/////� Northwest Hwy to Rona07 Sidepath CCDOTH Elmhurst Rd / IL-83 1.8 Sidepath IDOT Kernp h�l)o xrlyd Old oto mton'drJIL-83 17,, Sidepath IDOT Golf Rd Meter to Mount Fraspec.l. 2] Sidepath IDOT Busse Rd 1 9010 Golf 1.5 Sidepath IDOT an„nm, ComEd Trail Spot N/A ComEd IDOT Algonquin to Ilmhurs( Locations...

Building out the complete network will take time, funding, and further study to bring the concepts to fruition. Since it can't all happen at once, this section provides recommendations for pursuing projects based on community priorities, needs, and feasibility. The following phasing plan will help the community to determine which projects to pursue first for grant funding and to include in upcoming budget cycles. The goal of the phasing recommendations is to create an active plan that sets realistic timelines and does not sit on the shelf. The network implementation matrix includes information describing each recommended bike facility, the cost estimate for the recommended facility, and assigns a short, medium, or long-term phasing tier for the Village to consider. CostIllf,,:,sthimate Estimated pricing for the proposed bicycle network improvements was developed to assist the Village of Mount Prospect plan for the design and construction of these projects and begin considering potential opportunities for grant funding. Costs were developed using programming level estimates per length of the pertinent facility type. For example, sidepaths were assumed to cost $200 per foot to construct. Each corridor was then evaluated to determine whether there would be site -specific costs to be included in the cost estimates such as traffic signal modifications, structural improvements, or drainage work. Construction cost estimates will continue to be refined as the projects proceed through engineering. Preliminary cost estimates were also prepared for engineering needed to design and oversee construction of the projects. Finally, the cost for acquiring the right-of-way necessary to build paths was assessed using a ballpark estimate of $25 Abarrier -protected cycle track is recommended on �oIf Road. The cost to construct this alternative varies depending on the scope of the project. Three estimates were prepared for the following barrier protection alternatives: Alternative 1 (Lower Cost): The bicycle facility would be separated from traffic by curb. A minimal number of concrete barrier islands would be provided. Alternative 2 (Medium Cost): The bicycle facility would be separated from traffic by intermittent concrete islands. These islands would be landscaped with trees. Alternative 3 (Higher Cost): The bicycle facility would be separated from traffic by frequent, large, landscaped islands. In the event that a barrier -protected cycle track cannot be installed on Wolf Road, a sidepath is feasible and could be considered. A cost estimate has also been developed to construct a sidepath. 104 Arterial Bike Network \�v Legend Park School Metra Rail Metro Train Station ® Neighbor Community Bike Facility Camp McDonald did I�1y�ISA'l�pll IOJ�III�NNf O111dtiP kk�j EUdid Ave Existing Bike Network Recommended Network Phasing Trail / Sidepath Short Term On -Street Bike Route Medium Term ....

Ill iir u, iir erns Administered by the Illinois IlDepartirneirit of T'ir ns rt ti n (ll ) Most federal funds are controlled at the state DOT level and distributed as block grants. IDOT administers these federal pass -through funds for local and regional bicycle and pedestrian projects and safety initiatives. The funds are authorized by the current federal transportation bill passed in 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Statewide Planning & Research (SPR) Statewide Planning & Research (SPR) funds are used to support planning and research activities. The funds are used to establish a cooperative, continuous, and comprehensive framework for making transportation investment decisions and to carryout transportation planning and research activities throughout the State. Eligible activities include: • Planning studies • Data purchase, collection, and/or analysis • Program development activities • Performance management activities • Coordination/outreachactivities A 20% match is required to use these funds. However, a match greaterthan 20%will be considered positively when prioritizing projects. linois Safe Routes to School (SRTS) The SRTS program, administered by the IDOT Bureau of Safety Engineering, uses infrastructure and non - infrastructure approaches to improve conditions for students who walk or bike to school. The program is designed to enable and inspire children to walk and bike to school through improvements to the local active transportation network within two miles of schools and through programs and initiatives. The local match is typically 20%. Eligible project sponsors include schools, school districts, and governmental entities. The program encourages applicants to form a local coalition of stakeholders. Eligible infrastructure projects include sidewalk improvements, traffic calming/speed reduction improvements, traffic control devices, pedestrian and bike crossing improvements, on -street bike facilities, off-street bike facilities, and secure bike parking facilities. Eligible non -infrastructure projects oar ro IV 1110 include events, equipment, and supplies that help to address areas of education, enforcement, encouragement, and evaluation. erial Bike Network Study 107 Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP) ITEP was designed to promote and develop non - motorized transportation options and streetscape beautification. Through ITEP, IDOT awards a portion of federal Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) set -aside funds competitively. Any local or state government with taxing authority is eligible to apply. Local governments are required to provide matching funds. The required 20% local match is the responsibility of the project sponsor unless the project qualifies for state matching funds based on high -need criteria. Once all applications are submitted, the local match will be calculated based on the Community Score and set on a sliding scale of 0, 10, or 20%; 50% is required for ROW acquisition. Communities should be prepared to commit to expending the highest match amount when possible. Work must begin on the projects within three years of receipt of the award. This program is administered by the IDOT Bureau of Programming in the Office of Planning and Programming. Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) The goal of HSIP is to achieve a significantreduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. It requires states to set performance measures and targets for reducing traffic -related fatalities and serious injuries for all modes of transportation. HSIP funds both infrastructure and non -infrastructure solutions (like public safety campaigns) and is administered by IDOT's Bureau of Safety Engineering. The program funds preliminary engineering, land acquisition, construction, and construction engineering. A minimum 10% Local match is required. Section 402 State and Community Highway Safety Grant Program The Section 402 program, administered by the IDOT Bureau of Safety Engineering, provides grants to states to improve driver behavior and reduce deaths and injuries from motor vehicle -related crashes.

Arterial Bike Network Study ii Overview In 2012, the Village adopted a Bicycle Plan to "create a safe, comfortable and bicycle -friendly environment in Mount Prospect, which encourages people of all ages to use bicycles for everyday transportation and enjoyment". The Bicycle Plan identifies three infrastructure phases. Phase I includes on -street bike routes along low volume, residential streets that connect to key destinations such as parks, schools, shopping, restaurants, and adjacent communities. Since 2012, the Village has installed 28 miles of on - street bike routes completing Phase I of the Bicycle Plan. • Phases II & III includes bike routes along arterial roads, often under the jurisdiction of other agencies that will provide connections to Phase I routes and adjacent communities. The Arterial Bike Network Study will develop a strategy to construct bike facilities along arterial and other high traffic streets in the Village, completing the planning for Phases II and III of the Bicycle Plan. The corridors selected for the arterial bike network utilize roadways that provide important connectivity across the Village. Completing the network along these routes is crucial to enhancing residents' access to key destinations while improving safety for cyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities. The 18 corridors of the arterial bike network, which include two potential trail connections between arterial roadways, are shown on the next page. This Existing Conditions Report provides an in- depth review of each corridor in the Village of Mount Prospect's arterial bike network, and was based on a compilation of various dataset and plan reviews, discussions with Village staff, and insights from community members. Key takeaways from this process are outlined on the following pages as well as a series of maps, cross sections, and other graphics to support the various findings. 2 Arterial Bike Network Study Arterial Bike Network Corridor Locator Map 1.

Arterial Bike Network Study 3 Planning Studies Villaget Prospect Studies Connect South MP (2020) This study covers the area south of Golf Street and north of Oakton Street. The bike commuting mode share in this area is low (-3%). However, community feedback indicated interest in constructing bike facilities along the following corridors, with an emphasis on considering multi -use paths: • Dempster Street • Busse Road • Elmhurst Road • Algonquin Road The study evaluated alternatives to improve downtown multimodal transportation conditions, which included investigating the feasibility of: • Moving the Metra station and loading platform to reduce the time Metra trains block the IL-83 crossing • Adding another at -grade crossing to accommodate existing and new traffic generated by development This plan noted, in 2017, that there was an opportunity to expand the Village's path network to encourage more biking or walking. The plan mentions prioritizing all the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) corridors within the Village, and recommends working with IDOT to ensure recommendations in the Bike Plan are carried out along IDOT roadways. Community members were in support of implementing the bike network. 4 Arterial Bike Network Study Rail Crossing Feasibility Study (2020) This study recommends alternatives to identify the feasibility of at -grade and grade -separated rail crossing to improve safety and mobility for all transportation modes. The study area encompasses the space between Busse Road (west), Mount Prospect Road (east), Kensington Road (north), and Golf Road (south), with a main focus on the Main Street at -grade crossing and the Emerson Street at - grade crossing. Rand Road Corridor Plan (2017) This plan recommended opportunities to improve all modes of transportation, land use, zoning, urban design, and market characteristics of the corridor. The plan acknowledges that the corridor was primarily built for cars, but notes that a current concern is the safety of people biking or walking. Some of the key recommendations include: • Filling in sidewalk gaps • Building a 10' sidepath along southwest side of Rand Road from Camp MacDonald to Central (on - street bike paths "not feasible" along Rand) Downtown Implementation Plan Vol 1 (2073) This plan focuses on the downtown near Northwest Highway, Central Road, and Main Street. The study references the following planned bike routes: • Busse Avenue (signed route) • Central Road (NWMC corridor) • Northwest Highway (NWMC corridor) Community members showed support for improving conditions for people walking and biking. Downtown Implementation Plan tool 2 (2013) This plan is primarily a land use planning document, but does provide concepts to improve the experience for people walking or biking in the downtown zone. A key recommendation was improving conditions on Prospect Avenue which included: bike lanes, brick pavers, curb bump -outs, and "district" signage. The plan reiterates the desire for a bike corridor along the Northwest Highway per NWMC's planning work and presents the Prospect Avenue bike lanes as an alternative to Northwest Highway. This corridor plan does not include any recommendations for improving bike facilities or infrastructure, however it does mention the potential to use the Union Pacific ROW as a bike trail. ulllltiii Jurisdictiainill Studies ort West Municipal Conference ( NA/ C") Multimodal Transportation Plan (0 0) This plan highlights various priority bicycle corridors throughout the northwest region. Any corridors that use the Mount Prospect bike network include: • Elk Grove — Evanston Bikeway • Northwest Bikeway (only 4% complete as of 2020) The total cost of constructing the bikeway system is estimated to be —$33.4 million, which is equivalent to about eight miles of roadway construction. Public Transportation System Plan (2009) This plan recommends an expanded bikeway network to increase the amount of on -street facilities, however at the time, no funding was secured. The plan identified "primary bikeways" where bike lanes or sidepaths are recommended: • Camp McDonald Road • Oakton Street • Euclid Avenue • Busse Road • Kensington Road • Elmhurst Road / IL-83 • Central Road • Mount Prospect Road • Golf Road • Wolf Road • Dempster Street There were also recommendations for "secondary bikeways" that would be signed but not marked on pavement along Seminole Lane. This corridor plan does not include any recommendations for improving bike facilities or infrastructure, but also did not identify any existing bike deficiencies. ort latest. l,,,figh wa, y Bike Plan (01 ) This plan is a multi jurisdictional study that was completed for the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC). Implementing this 20-mile bike route along Northwest Highway is noted as an important regional planning goal and would link together Barrington, Palatine, Rolling Meadows, Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Des Plaines, and Park Ridge. A sidepath is recommended along the Mount Prospect section, however several barriers were identified: • Limited space between railway and road for a path • May need to relocate landscaping • Path may conflict with railroad crossing gates MountProsPttr. Arterial Bike Network Study 5 Roadway Projects d 011 While this roadway is not part of the Arterial Bike Network Study, the project proposes an off -road bike path on the north side of Algonquin Road from Dearborn Court to Elmhurst Road, which fills in sidewalk gaps on south side. The plan is to remove an existing 5' sidewalk (where applicable) and replace with an 8' sidepath. The project will buffer existing bike lanes on Business Center Drive and Wheeling Road. This roadway is not part of the Arterial Bike Network Study. ltl°TMlrt, s Ply atl ilh.m,idW uul This project proposes a bicycle and pedestrian bridge between Melas and Meadows Parks across Northwest Highway and is currently in the Phase II Engineering stage. It provides an opportunity to connect two corridors included in this Arterial Bike Network Study, Northwest Highway and Central Road. z%phi oil 6 Arterial Bike Network Study This project will provide an 8' sidepath on the east side of Busse Road from Golf Road to Central Road. This new sidepath will connect to the Arterial Bike Network recommended in this study. 1Hers ne: tori Rotitl This project proposes a sidepath between the ComEd trail and Burning Bush Lane (-1400') on the north side of road. The sidepath would result from widening the existing sidewalk on the north side and complete part of the Kensington corridor included in this study's Arterial Bike Network. The Village created a roadway redesign concept along Wolf Road. The concept proposes a two-way cycle track on the west side from Euclid to Central, which would also require a road diet. It would provide direct access to the Prospect Heights bike path. The Village created several design concepts along Northwest and include: • Two-way cycle track (Meadows Park to Prospect Manor) • Sidepath (Prospect Manor to Maple) • Two-way cycle track (Maple St and Albert St) • Sidepath (Albert St to Mount Prospect Rd) A road diet is proposed in several locations to help make these concepts fit in the available right-of-way. Several alternatives are also under consideration: • Multi -use path along the railroad tracks south of Northwest Highway • Three concepts for a bike facility on Prospect Avenue between Mount Prospect Road and Central Road. This stretch of Mount Prospect Avenue would be used in lieu of Northwest Highway since it runs parallel. This project concerns the 6-point Rand -Kensington - Elmhurst Road intersection, which adds a lane to northwest -bound Rand Road and an 8' wide sidepath along the southwest side of Rand Road between Isabella Street and Wedgewood Lane (-1-mi). A sidepath will also be constructed around Randhurst Village on the south and east sides of Elmhurst Road, Rand Road, and Kensington Road (between Randhurst Village Dr and Perimeter Dr). RarnJ-Ci?ntrt!d fill This recently constructed project provides an 8' sidepath south of Central Road in Des Plaines (on the southwest side of the road). It will eventually connect to the Rand Road corridor included in this Arterial Bike Network Study, as well as the Mount Prospect Avenue corridor. MountProsPttr. Arterial Bike Network Study 7 Engagement Summary During the Existing Conditions phase of this study, the Village hosted several opportunities to hear the community's input on opportunities and challenges to walking and biking throughout Mount Prospect, with special emphasis on the arterial bike network corridors. These engagement activities included an open house, interactive input map, and corridor prioritization survey. Open House The first open house for this project was held on February 21, 2024 at Mount Prospect's Village Hall from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Community members had the opportunity to look at exhibit boards, participate in input activities, and converse with project team members. The exhibit boards included: • Study Overview and Goals • Study Timeline • Existing Conditions • Level of Comfort & Bike Facility Options • Arterial Bike Network Corridor Locator Map • Corridor Prioritization Activity Additional input activities included a survey station with multiple laptops, a corridor prioritization activity with colored dots (to receive feedback on 1st, 2nd, 3rd priority corridors), and post -it notes which could be added to an aerial map of the Village. Interactive Input Map and Corridor Prioritization Survey A brief online survey was deployed in conjunction with the interactive input map. The survey allowed community members to select their top three corridors within the arterial bike network that should be prioritized. The interactive input map helped gather site -specific input from the community on where bicycle facilities should be located, and what improvements should be made to ensure safe access and connectivity for people biking and walking. 8 Arterial Bike Network Study Transportation Network Community -Oriented Space Arterial Bike Network Park In -Design Bike Path School Existing Bike Network Metro Rail Transit Metro Train Station r°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Pace Bus Route High Ridership Bus Stop MountProsPttr.

NEW BUSINESS A: Arterial Bike Network Study Staff Liaison Foresman presented the following on the Draft Final Report of the Arterial Bike Network Study: Background: The Village's existing Bike Plan was adopted in 2012. Since then, the Village has installed 28 miles of on -street bike routes, completing Phase I of the Bike Plan. Phases 11 and III are to install bike facilities along arterial roads, however more study was needed to determine how those could be built The Village applied for and was awarded a planning grant from the State of Illinois in 2022 and was able to retain a consultant to develop the Arterial Bike Network Study in 2023 and 2024. The draft final report of the Arterial Bike Network Study is now complete and ready to be presented to the Commission for comment. The study will then go before the Village Board at the Committee of the Whole Meeting on February 181n. Section 1 Section one provides an overview of the study, giving some background, Study Overview: identifying corridors to be studied and describing desired bicycle facility types. As part of the request for proposals for the study, the Village identified 18 corridors to be investigated for potential dedicated bike facilities. The corridors consisted of all the arterial roads in town that did not already have bike facilities built or in design along with utility corridors. The study aims to layout a bike network that is comfortable for all ages and abilities. Studies have shown only 5%-9% of the population is comfortable using tradition bike lanes on high traffic roads. Over 50% of the population is comfortable on separated bike facilities, either shared -use paths or protected bike lanes. This study primarily proposes shared -use paths as they are the most comfortable and safer for all users. The study timeline is as follows: 0 11/2023 — Internal Kickoff Meeting • 2/2024 — Public Meeting 1 and Public Survey • 6/2024— Stakeholder Meetings • 7/2024— Pop -Up Meetings • 10/2024 — Public Meeting 2 • 2/2025 — Draft Report Prepared TSC Meeting Page 2 of 7 February 10, 2025 Section 2 Section two summarizes the public outreach activities and existing conditions Existing Conditions research for all corridors. nnrl r)iitrPnrh Recap: Summary of Engagement Activities: • Public Survey — 80 Survey Responses • Interactive Map —140 Map Comments • 2 Public Open Houses — Over 70 Attendees • Pop -Up Meeting— Downtown Block Party • Pop -Up Meeting —Celebration of Cultures • 11 Stakeholder Meetings • 25 Email Comments Summary of Comments Received: • Desire for increased connections to existing trails, parks and schools • Desire for increased connections to Randhurst Village and Downtown Mount Prospect • Interest from school districts to have improved connectivity to schools • Support for high impact crossing treatments • Improvements in the downtown area to increase visibility for bicyclists • Desire for improved crossings across arterial roads • Coordination with other communities so bike routes do not stop at Village borders • Support for off-street facilities (shared -use paths) on arterial roads instead of bike lanes Priority Corridors — as identified as part of the public outreach campaign: • Central Road • Elmhurst Road (IL 83) • Euclid Avenue • Kensington Road • Golf Road • Wolf Road • Northwest Highway An existing conditions report was developed to investigate each of the corridors and document the existing conditions that could impact bike facility construction. The following items were identified for each corridor: • Typical Section • Traffic Information • Programmed Improvements • Trees in ROW • Potential Utility Conflicts • Sidewalk Gaps • Safety Conditions (Crashes and Potential Conflict Points) • Key Destinations • Other Plans and Studies • Community Feedback TSC Meeting Page 3 of 7 February 10, 2025 Cartinn 2 Arterial Network Recommendations: Cartinn A Arterial Network Implementation: Section 3 presents the recommendations of the study. This includes the proposed bicycle facilities (bike lanes, buffered bike lanes and sidepaths), intersection design strategies and a corridor -by -corridor breakdown of the proposed facilities. The report includes 200 scale plans sheets and summary sheets for each of the corridors. Overall, sidepaths are the preferred recommendation for most of the corridors. Camp McDonald Road and Seminole Lane were selected for bike lane installations due to their lower speeds and traffic volumes compared to other corridors. Prospect Avenue and Wolf Road were identified as needing more study as there were multiple options available for those corridors. Improvements were not proposed for Elmhurst Road (IL 83) between Golf Road and Kensington Road and Central Road between Northwest Highway and Mount Prospect Road. This was due to a lack of available right-of-way and other obstructions. Instead, the study proposes routing bikes to adjacent neighborhood bike routes. The presentation did not cover the individual corridors, but all information was available for the Commission and the public to review. Section 4 presents implementation strategies. This categorized all the proposed projects into short-term, medium -term and long-term. The short-term corridors include the following: • Busse Road from Golf Road to Interstate 90 • Prospect Avenue from Central Road to Mount Prospect Road • Mount Prospect Road from Prospect Avenue to Rand Road • Kensington Road from the west Village Limits to River Road • Euclid Avenue from Burning Bush Lane to Des Plaines River Trail These routes were prioritized based on public feedback, connections to existing or in -design bike facilities, connections to desired destinations and for the development of a continuous bike route from the southwest corner of the Village to the northeast corner of the Village. The study also provided cost estimates for each of the corridors and potential grant opportunities for funding the projects. Discussion: This report was presented to the Commission for comments to be incorporated into the final report. There wasn't a vote from the Commission on this report at this time. The final report will come before the Commission at a future meeting for approval. Fire Department Representative Novak arrived to the meeting at 8:00 PM during the discussion. TSC Meeting Page 4 of 7 February 10, 2025 Below is a summary of discussion on the report during the meeting: • Commissioner Nejdl asked about maintenance responsibility for the proposed paths. Liaison Foresman indicated that while the paths would mostly be in IDOT or Cook County right-of-way, those agencies would require Mount Prospect to sign a maintenance agreement stating the Village would maintain the facilities. • Commissioner Pellicore asked how the report was going to be shared with the public, specifically those who participated in previous public engagement opportunities. Liaison Foresman indicated the consultant would be sending out a link to the final report to everyone who participated in the public outreach. Additionally, the full report would be available on the project website. • There was general discussion about sidepaths being a safe and comfortable option, but since they would only be installed on one side of the arterial road, special consideration should be given to getting bicyclists and pedestrians across the arterial road to access the new shared use path. Liaison Foresman indicated the project scope did not include looking into potential new mid -block crossings (crossings at non - signalized intersections) of arterial roads, but they would be considered as part of any future project. The primary concern was along Golf Road. • As part of the discussion on crossing arterial roads, Representative Mavraganis discussed the state law regarding when vehicles are required to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. • Commissioner Pellicore asked about future funding uncertainty, especially with federal funds. Liaison Foresman indicated IDOT recently sent out a circular letter saying there are no changes to existing funding or grant programs at this time but that they were monitoring the situation. Liaison Foresman further explained that most of the available funding sources come from federal funds but are managed by state or other regional organizations instead of USDOT directly. • A member of the public pointed out an error in the Kensington Road corridor routing. Liaison Foresman indicated it would be corrected in the final report. • Commissioner Nejdl asked about connectivity to the Melas-Meadows bridge. Liaison Foresman indicated Busse Road and Kensington Road were partially selected for short term projects as they would indirectly connect to the Melas-Meadows bridge. The bridge itself is between two parks and over the arterial road of Northwest Highway, it does not connect directly to any of the proposed corridors. The paths through Melas Park connect the Melas-Meadows Bridge to the Northwest Bikeway heading to Arlington Heights, the Central Road Corridor and the Busse Road Corridor. On the Meadows Park side, existing neighborhood bike routes connect the bridge to the Kensington Road Corridor and the Rand Road Corridor. • There was general consensus that as new bike facilities are built, there will be new riders using them and ongoing education campaigns should supplement construction projects to increase safety for all users. TSC Meeting Page 5 of 7 February 10, 2025 A resident asked why the Central Road (east) corridor from Mount Prospect Road to Wolf Road being a medium -term priority instead of short-term priority since it connects to the Des Plaines River Trail. Liaison Foresman indicated that the Euclid Avenue connection to the Des Plaines River Trail was the higher priority as it is a more direct connection to the trail and would provide an all ages and abilities connection to the trail. A sidepath on Euclid Avenue is proposed from the neighborhood bike route on Burning Bush Lane to the Des Plaines River Trail. A priority of the study is to make bike facilities that everyone is comfortable using. The segment of Central Road between Mount Prospect Road and Wolf Road would connect to the Northwest Municipal Conferences regional bike route on Central Road east of Wolf Road, but this bike route consists of paved shoulders adjacent to higher speed vehicles. This is not a comfortable route for all users. Therefore, it was a lower priority connection to the Des Plaines River Trail. B. Complete Streets Annual Summary The Village of Mount Prospect adopted a Complete Streets Policy on February 4, 2020.
