Counters were placed at 2839 Briarwood East and 2809 Briarwood West to capture the speed and volume of vehicles in the neighborhood. These traffic counts were compared to historical counts. Minimum Criteria as outlined in the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program include: • An average speed at least 3 MPH above the speed limit (23 MPH) or • An 85th percentile speed at least 7 MPH above the speed limit (27 MPH) or • An average daily traffic of at least 1000 vehicles or • A peak hour volume of at least 120 vehicles It should be noted that the Lake Briarwood Neighborhood has a 20 MPH speed limit, compared to 25 MPH as is standard on residential streets throughout the Village. If the neighborhood had the standard 25 MPH speed limit then it would not meet eligibility requirements. Additionally, while traffic volume has remained consistent, but vehicle speeds have decreased slightly over time. The table on the next page shows traffic count results. 1700 West Central Road, Mount Prospect, IL 60056 847-870-5640 publicworksdept@mountprospect.org Page 6 of 35 Page 2 of 2 FNSP – Lake Briarwood Neighborhood – Eligibilty Memo March 2, 2026 Average 85% Speed (Speed Average Volume Days of Year Month Location Speed of 15% of Drivers are the Week Vehicles Exceeding) Vehicles Per Day Briarwood West 2007 August Mid-Block 24.2 30.2 289.5 Wed-Thr 2018 June Mid-Block 22.7 28.2 275.3 Tue-Thr 2019 May Mid-Block 22.9 28.6 267 Tue-Thr 2025 October 2809 21.8 28.4 287 Wed-Thr 2025 October 2809 21.9 28.2 215.5 Sat-Sun Briarwood East 2007 August Mid-Block 26.2 32.1 578.5 Wed-Thr 2018 June Mid-Block 25.3 30.9 616.3 Tue-Thr 2019 May Mid-Block 22.9 28.5 624 Tue-Thr 2025 October 2839 24.1 29.8 623 Wed-Thr 2025 October 2839 22.1 28.4 567 Sat-Sun Orange highlighted cells meet minimum criteria Based on the traffic counts showing the neighborhood meeting minimum eligibility requirements, Staff recommends moving forward to the next step in the traffic calming process as outlined in the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program.

Unless additional studies have been conducted on a particular street, updated traffic data will most likely be necessary before determining if a street qualifies for traffic calming measures due to the time since the Neighborhood Traffic Studies were completed. For a street to qualify for traffic calming measures at least one of the criteria thresholds below must be met. Speed: • The average speed is at least 3 MPH above the speed limit • The 85th percentile speed is at least 7 MPH above the speed limit Note: School Zone Speed Limits can be used only where signed and when enhancing pedestrian safety is a primary goal These speed limits are lower than the previous traffic calming program to make more streets eligible for traffic calming measures and to better account for outlier neighborhood traffic speeds effecting traffic studies. Slow speeds due to deliveries, garbage trucks, mail or residents accessing their driveways near traffic counters can lower the overall speeds recorded by the study. Volume: • The average daily traffic is at least 1000 vehicles • The peak hour volume is at least 120 vehicles The traffic volume limits are meant to address cut through traffic on neighborhood streets. This typically happens on non-collector streets adjacent to arterial roadways. Volume criteria does not apply to collector streets except adjacent to high pedestrian generators. Exhibit A – Minimum Criteria Page 1 Page 8 of 35 Mount Prospect Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program MINIMUM CRITERIA Should an individual street qualify for traffic calming measures, the Engineering Division will also identify any surrounding streets that may be significantly impacted by traffic calming measures on the street in question. The selected surrounding streets may not meet the minimum criteria but could be adversely impacted if not considered in the development of a traffic calming project. The boundaries of potential significant impact will define the project area. The only exception to meeting any of the criteria thresholds is if the street has a recent history of crashes atypical for a neighborhood street and traffic calming measures are the appropriate solution. Should the Engineering Division identify a high crash rate for the street, the Engineering Division has the discretion to initiate a traffic calming project even if none of the vehicular volume or speed criterions are met. In analyzing the crash reports for a street with a recent history of crashes, the Engineering Division will first consider less intrusive education, enforcement and engineering measures. If it is determined traffic calming measures are the appropriate solution, the project will continue with the traffic calming process. Definitions These definitions pertain to the criteria thresholds described above and apply to an engineering traffic study typically lasting between 48 and 72 hours. Average Speed – The mean speed, in miles per hour, of all vehicles during the traffic study. It is typically measured at the midblock of the street. 85th Percentile Speed – The speed, in miles per hour, at which 85% of all vehicles during the traffic study are traveling at or below. It is typically measured at the midblock of the street and represents the basis for establishing the speed limit. Average Daily Traffic – The number of vehicles, measured in both directions, passing a point along the street during a 24-hour period. It is calculated by dividing the total number of recorded vehicles by the number of days in the traffic study. Peak Hour Volume – The highest number of vehicles, measured in both directions, passing a point along the street during any 1-hour period during the traffic study.

As such, the Village sent out a letter introducing the study and soliciting input on existing conditions from residents. The letter and distribution map are attached to this memo. The letter was sent via mail on March 26th, 2026. The survey was open until Friday April 10th, 2026. The letter was sent to 156 addresses. 13 surveys were returned for a 8.3% return rate. The letter asked residents to describe concerns regarding traffic in their neighborhood, the location of traffic issues and any other comments. The breakdown of responses are provided at the end of the memo, note some responses mentioned multiple concerns or locations. Overall, speeding was the primary concern of residents, particularly because there are no sidewalks or streetlights causing visibility issues and potential conflicts with pedestrians and cyclists. In the past, the HOA voted against sidewalks and there was not enough support for streetlights. However, in general, residents did not want major intervention, such as speed humps or median islands as they could create additional conflict points with pedestrians. The following responses were received regarding traffic issues in the neighborhood: • 9 responses mentioned speeding • 5 responses mentioned safety of walking • 3 responses indicated there are no issues • 2 response mentioned safety at the intersection of Algonquin Road and Briarwood Drive • 1 response mentioned a lack of lighting 1700 West Central Road, Mount Prospect, IL 60056 847-870-5640 publicworksdept@mountprospect.org Page 10 of 35 Page 2 of 2 FNSP – Lake Briarwood Neighborhood – Initial Public Outreach Summary April, 15, 2025 The following responses were received regarding traffic issue locations: • 3 responses listed on the curves, particularly with pedestrians and vehicles mixing • 3 responses mentioned straight sections particularly for speeding • 2 responses indicated there were no issues • 2 responses listed the intersection of Algonquin Road and Briarwood Drive • 1 response listed near the entrance • 1 response called out Briarwood Drive East • 1 response mentioned parked vehicles Other comments included: • 3 responses said they do not want speed humps • 2 responses requested street lights • 1 response requested speed humps • 1 response mentioned speeding school busses and delivery drivers • 1 response requested automated speed enforcement • 1 response mentioned test drives from the car dealership at the neighborhood entrance • 1 response didn’t want any obstacles in the street • 1 response concerned about strip mall traffic using Briarwood Drive While Staff will consider all survey responses as a preliminary design is developed, reducing vehicle speeds while avoiding negative impacts to pedestrians and bicyclists will be the primary goal of the study.

In May of 2024, the Village Board adopted the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program, a program that allows residents to submit a petition to request traffic calming measures be installed on their street to address traffic issues. Traffic calming is infrastructure designed to slow vehicle speeds or reduce the number of vehicles on a neighborhood street to increase safety for all users. LAKE BRIARWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD: A petition requesting traffic calming from the Lake Briarwood Neighborhood was submitted to Public Works in the fall of 2025. Traffic counts were completed in October and found the street to be eligible for the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program. TRAFFIC CALMING PROCESS: The traffic calming process can be found in the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program on the Village website by searching “Traffic Calming”. We are currently at step 6, Initial Public Outreach. See timeline to the right. We are collecting public input on existing traffic issues on the street to make sure any proposed improvements address resident concerns. PUBLIC INPUT The Village is seeking public input regarding existing traffic issues in the neighborhood. Your observations will be used to inform the traffic calming study going forward. A comment form has been included in this letter. Public comments can be submitted to Public Works by using the enclosed comment form and mailing it to or dropping of at Public Works, Attn: Luke Foresman, 1700 West Central Road, Mount Prospect, IL 60056. Residents can also submit comments by phone at (847) 870-5640 or by email at publicworksdept@mountprospect.org. Please put “Lake Briarwood Traffic Calming” in the subject line of your email.

Where are traffic issues most common: On the straight aways since our street is just a big loop. Lynn Court residents also speed out of their complexes. Loud cars that backfire as they drive out is an issue, too. Provide comments: We are not a thru street and do not have people from other areas going through here. Anyone speeding lives in the neighborhood and chooses to drive fast. Stop signs have not slowed them down. We have no sidewalks, so the summer is more difficult when there are kids on bikes etc. We have asked for police to ticket offenders and they have sat at the entryway, but we know this is not a long term solution. Wish we could have an Automated Speed Enforcemnt camera that would log the speeding and then a ticket issued. That may slow them down. Test drives from the corner used car dealership have to stop as well. I think the only way to get people to slow down is to ticket them. Placing upright poles in the middle will just make them swerve onto homeowner properties. Have a good week. 1 Page 19 of 35 Address: Concerns regarding traffic in the neighborhood? Because our neighborhood does not have sidewalks, my concern is unpredictable and aggressive drivers, particularly on Briarwood Dr EAST. The aggressive drivers can be seen daily and at all hours of the day and night. We have several families with children walking and riding bikes and it's simply not safe. Also, some parts of Briarwood Dr EAST have decreased visibility which makes it difficult for the drivers to see the pedestrians in the street. Where are traffic issues most common? Briarwood Dr EAST Thank you, 1 Page 20 of 35 Page 21 of 35 Page 22 of 35 Page 23 of 35 Subject: Re: Lake Briarwood traffic calming Address: What are your concerns regarding traffic in the neighborhood, if any? I’m not sure of what can be done but I do think cars do speed around the neighborhood. 20-25 mph does seem reasonable but I often feel that cars travel at times 30mph+ I also think lighting is a problem. As much as I think the darkness adds to the appeal of the neighborhood, I do think additional minimalistic lighting would be helpful with the pedestrian traffic around the neighborhood. What are traffic issues most common? Mostly when you meet ongoing traffic and there are pedestrians present. It creates a dangerous scenario for all involved. Provide any additional comments regarding traffic in the neighborhood: For the most part the neighborhood and drivers are aware and courteous, but I think speed management is the main concern. Given how many cars turn into the strip mall on Algonquin & Briarwood drive, I do think there could be consideration on making cars enter/exit from Algonquin vs. entering/exiting from Briarwood drive. Another option to consider possibly is to make Briarwood drive thicker to create an additional lane. Understood there is limited real estate there but Briarwood Drive seems too thin at the 1 Page 24 of 35 intersection given the amount of traffic that comes through that intersection with the strip mall. If that part of Briarwood drive can be made to have additional lane(s) if possible, may help with the volume of car and foot traffic often encountered there during prime school and rush hour time zones. 2 Page 25 of 35 3 Page 26 of 35 Open to being involved in any discussions or questions that come up in the future regarding related conversations. Kind Regards, 4 Page 27 of 35 Page 28 of 35 Subject: Lake Briarwood Traffic Calming Address: What are my concerns? Occasional speeders Walkers at night with no lights or brightly colored road- they seem to forget that the main purpose of a road, especially one without a sidewalk is for predominantly for cars Where are traffic issues most common? Anywhere where a car is parked on the street. If that was addressed alone - any issues would be minimized. Additional comments A sidewalk idea is a non-starter & completely unnecessary- ask yourselves- has there been one injury in the 64 or 65 years this community has been here? Do we need speed bumps? NO- most people stay under 25MPH & yes I'm aware it's a 20 which is quite ridiculous- ask the Kids school buses that always do about 30. The best thing we could do is add more street lights- that's it.

This was developed after a petition was submitted by 47 residents of the neighborhood requesting a traffic calming study. Traffic counts were conducted to confirm eligibility for the program and an initial survey was sent to all residents introducing the study and requesting information on existing conditions. Reducing vehicle speeds while not negatively impacting pedestrians and cyclists was the primary theme of the 13 survey responses. The Lake Briarwood Neighborhood is unique in the Village as there is no through traffic due to the neighborhood only having one entrance at Algonquin Road. Additionally, it is one of the few areas of the Village with a 20 MPH speed limit instead of 25 MPH. The streets in the neighborhood are 24’ wide edge-to-edge with curb and gutter. There are no sidewalks forcing residents to walk and bike in the street. Street lighting is not present. Traffic counts showed the neighborhood met eligibility criteria for a 20 MPH speed limit but would not have met criteria for a 25 MPH speed limit as is typical throughout the Village. The speeds recorded in the neighborhood are typical for a residential street in the Village, but since the speed limit is lower, the neighborhood is eligible for the program. Briarwood Drive East experienced slightly higher speeds and over double the traffic volume as Briarwood Drive West. Crash history shows only two crashes in the neighborhood within the past 5 years, one involved hitting a parked vehicle in Lynn Court and one in Elayne Court with a vehicle backing into a fire hydrant. There were no reported crashes on the loop of Briarwood Drive. Since there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood, typical in-street traffic calming measures such as median islands would not be appropriate due to them creating conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians in the street. Currently, with relatively low on-street parking utilization, vehicles have space to pass pedestrians. 1700 West Central Road, Mount Prospect, IL 60056 847-870-5640 publicworksdept@mountprospect.org Page 31 of 35 Page 2 of 2 FNSP – Lake Briarwood – Initial Design April 15, 2026 Therefore, Staff recommends installing speed feedback signs on straight sections of Briarwood Drive East and West. This will preserve space for pedestrians and cyclists in street while providing a clear reminder to vehicles of the speed limit and how fast they are going in the neighborhood. This will also address concerns about commercial vehicles who will see the speed feedback signs at least once while they are in the neighborhood. Additionally, signage was recently added to Briarwood Drive at the Briarwood Plaza Shopping Center exit to indicate Briarwood Drive has no outlet and to direct vehicles away from the neighborhood. Lastly, as part of the Algonquin Road Shared-Use Path, Sidewalk and Lighting Project, pedestrian improvements will be made to the intersection of Algonquin Road and Briarwood Drive, including adding a shared-use path along the north side of Algonquin Road. The next step of the process is to solicit feedback on the initial design to help in developing the final design. This will include mailings and a discussion at a Transportation Safety Commission meeting.

LAKE BRIARWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD: A petition requesting traffic calming from the Lake Briarwood Neighborhood was submitted to Public Works in the fall of 2025. Traffic counts were completed in October 2025 and found the neighborhood to be eligible for the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program. INITIAL DESIGN: In March, the Village sent out a letter to all residents introducing the study and requesting feedback on existing traffic issues. 13 responses were received with the main issues reported being speeding and potential conflicts with pedestrians and cyclists since there are no sidewalks. To address these issues, the Village proposes to install speed feedback signs on Briarwood Drive East and West to remind drivers of the speed limit and make them aware of their current speed. This will provide a traffic calming effect, slowing drivers, while not reducing roadway space, allowing for passing of pedestrians and cyclists. TRAFFIC CALMING PROCESS: We are currently at step 8, Second Public Outreach. See timeline to the right. Note temporary measures are not anticipated to be part of this study. PUBLIC INPUT The Village is seeking public input on the initial design. Comments can be submitted to Public Works by using the enclosed comment form and mailing it to or dropping off at Public Works, Attn: Luke Foresman, 1700 West Central Road, Mount Prospect, IL 60056. Residents can also submit comments by phone at (847) 870-5640 or by email at publicworksdept@mountprospect.org. Please put “Lake Briarwood Traffic Calming” in the subject line of your email. The comment submittal deadline is Friday, May 15th. The study will be presented to the Transportation Safety Commission for information and comment at their meeting at 7:00 PM on May 11th, 2026 at the Emergency Operations Center at Public Works, 1720 W. Central Road. You are invited to attend and participate in the meeting. This will act as the “on-site” meeting as described in the timeline above.
