NEW BUSINESS
The Board received a number of recommendations from the Mount Prospect Safety
Commission, with the majority of them being discussed at length.
An ordinance was presented to amend Chapter 18 (Traffic) of the Village Code by
lowering the speed limit along Euclid Avenue between Wheeling Road and Wolf Road
from 45 mph to 40 mph The Safety Commission had recommended approval by a vote
of 7-0.

motorists might find it difficult to comply with the law, as there are several different speed
limits on that one street.

Department perform a speed study a few months from now, as a follow-up to that which
was completed in November for this amendment.
Trustee Wilks, seconded by Trustee Skowron, moved to waive the rule requiring two
