Mount Prospect Requiring an Extraordinary Vote for Resident-Initiated Traffic Calming
Projects.
st
NEIGHBORHOOD Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1) reading an ordinance adopting the Village of Mount
TRAFFIC CALMING Prospect Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program and amending Chapter 2 (Board of
PROGRAM AND Trustees) of the Village Code requiring an extraordinary vote for resident-initiated Traffic
AMEND CHAPTER 2 Calming Projects.
(BOARD OF
TRUSTEES) Project Engineer Matt Lawrie presented a brief overview of the program which originated
with discussions of the concept with the Village Board in May of 2005 and utilization of the
data collected from the Neighborhood Traffic Studies for program development. By adopting
the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program staff will have an additional resource in
addressing some of the ongoing traffic concerns in the Village. Traffic calming measures will
not be appropriate for many streets and not all streets will qualify for traffic calming
measures. However, some streets will benefit from traffic calming measures by alleviating
vehicular volume and speed concerns not resolved by enforcement or conventional
engineering solutions.
Mr. Lawrie stated, in cases where the process for traffic calming measures have been
initiated by residents but without sufficient support within the project area, an extraordinary
vote by the Village Board of Trustees would be required in order to approve the project.
Adoption of the ordinance amending Section 2.201 incorporates the required extraordinary
vote.
Mr. Lawrie stated there had been no changes to the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program
since the presentation and discussion of the program at the June 13, 2011 Traffic Workshop.
Village Board Comments
Neighborhood traffic calming on-going issue.
Adoption of program ensures on-going effort to address resident concerns
Traffic safety number one resident concern; supports adoption of program
Neighborhood traffic studies facilitated development of traffic calming program.
Recognized Mr. Lawrie and Safety Commission for thoughtful input in the development of
the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program.
