Requests to the Commission
In 2023 the Village Board Commissioned a Village Wide Traffic Study. This traffic study reviewed traffic conditions throughout the Village and provided guidelines for reviewing requested traffic changes. Using accepted industry and regulatory standards, the traffic consultant prepared a Traffic Calming Toolbox to inform and guide the decision making process. The Commission uses these guidelines when determining whether to implement new traffic control measures. Requests will be reviewed by Village staff, and traffic data will be collected that will then be used to complete a scoring matrix. Staff will then review the traffic data and scoring matrix with the requester and, if necessary, forward to the Commission for discussion. Requests must be submitted in writing (email is acceptable) to Bill Koclanis.
See detailed instructions on the procedure to petition, and the petition signature form, to the Traffic and Safety Commission. Additional information and clarification can be found on the associated Traffic and Safety Exhibit. Please note that the Village-provided petition form will need to be used for all requests.
Residents and businesses in the area will be notified of the request and given the opportunity to attend the meeting. Recommendations by the Commission are forwarded to the Village Board for final approval.
