NEW BUSINESS Lake Briarwood Friendly Neighborhood Streets Study Discussion Staff Liaison Foresman presented the following on the Lake Briarwood FNSP study. Background: The study limits include the entirety of the Lake Briarwood Neighborhood A petition for the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program for Lake Briarwood was received on October 19, 2025. Staff found the neighborhood qualified for the program based on the signed 20 MPH speed limit on streets in the neighborhood. Initial Public Staff sent a letter to all properties in the neighborhood to solicit input on existing Outreach: traffic issues. 156 surveys were sent out and 13 were returned. While Staff reviewed all responses, reducing vehicle speeds while avoiding negative impacts to pedestrians and bicyclists were the primary take aways. Initial Plan: Staff developed an initial traffic calming plan to address the perceived traffic issues in the neighborhood. This plan includes installing 4 speed feedback signs in strategic locations along straight stretches of street in the neighborhood. No in-street traffic calming is proposed. Second Public A resident information bulletin and survey were sent again to all addresses within Outreach: the neighborhood introducing the initial plan and requesting feedback from residents on it. The public comment period is open until Friday May 15th. Temporary Temporary measures are not required for this study. Measures: On-Site Meeting: This Transportation Safety Commission meeting is serving as the “on-site” meeting as outlined in the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program. Next Steps: Once the public comment period ends, Staff will review the comments and revise the design as appropriate. When the final design is ready, residents will be set a letter containing plans of the proposed traffic calming project and a ballot to express their desire for a project to move forward or not. When the balloting period ends, there will be a Transportation Safety Commission meeting to discuss the final design and results of the balloting. It will then be up to the Commission to recommend the project to the Village Board or not. If the project is forwarded to the Village Board, the Village Board will have final approval of the project prior to construction. TSC Meeting Page 2 of 4 May 11, 2026 Page 3 of 40  Discussion: The following is a summary of the discussion on the initial plan:  Commissioner Xavier asked about street lighting. Liaison Foresman indicated there is a separate street lighting program and Staff has been in contact with the Lake Briarwood HOA on that process. They are currently collecting signatures to show support for street lighting.  Commissioner Lowry asked about speed humps now that they had been installed in Hatlen Heights. Liaison Foresman indicated that speed humps are considered a trial measure and not officially part of the traffic calming program. Staff will be conducting a follow up study on the speed humps this fall and will present results to the Commission.  Commissioner Lowry asked about HOA involvement in the FNSP process. Liaison Foresman indicated once the petition is submitted, the study is conducted by Village Staff to ensure policies are followed and to ensure consistency between traffic calming studies.  Commissioner Pellicore asked about the intersection of Algonquin Road and Briarwood Drive. Liaison Foresman indicated the Village has a project currently in Phase II design to add a shared-use path to the north side, continuous sidewalk to the south side and a complete street lighting system to Algonquin Road within Village limits. This would bring modern crosswalks and pedestrian signals to the intersection of Algonquin Road and Briarwood Drive.  Commissioner Lowry asked about sidewalk support. Liaison Foresman indicated the Village has a separate sidewalk program, like the street lighting program, and the neighborhood would need to submit a petition showing support for sidewalks.  Sergeant Mavraganis asked about the car dealership at the intersection of Briarwood Drive and Algonquin Road. Liaison Foresman indicated a few comments received referenced test drives from the dealership using the neighborhood. Staff recently installed an additional “no outlet” sign at the exit of the strip mall to Briarwood Drive to discourage vehicles entering the neighborhood. Action: There are no action items for this agenda item. The discussion from the meeting, along with comments received from the public, will guide Staff as they revise the initial plan to develop the preferred alternative. COMMISSION ISSUES Liaison Foresman provided an update on ongoing traffic calming projects. Signage has been installed on William Street and speed humps have been installed in Hatlen Heights. This summer, Public Works will install the median island on William Street and the Village’s resurfacing contractor will install the bump out at the corner of Connie Lane and Meier Road. This fall, the Village will conduct follow up studies on these projects and present the results to the Transportation Safety Commission. Commission Pellicore discussed E-bike and E-scooter regulations including the Walk-Your-Wheels Zone and enforcement issues. Sergeant Mavraganis described difficulties the police are facing in enforcing regulations and described the approach they are taking. Commissioner Pellicore also brought up the One Road. One Focus. program being promoted by the Illinois Secretary of State. Sergeant Mavraganis indicated that program is primarily to provide support and resources to inform communities on how to approach the issue. The Village referenced many such resources when developing its E-bike and E-scooter regulations.

Staff found the neighborhood qualified for the program. Staff sent a letter to all properties within the neighborhood soliciting feedback on existing traffic issues, 156 surveys were sent out and 13 were returned. Primary concerns included vehicle speed and pedestrian safety. An initial plan was developed to address traffic issues in the neighborhood and included installing speed feedback signs in strategic locations. The initial plan was mailed to residents in the neighborhood soliciting input. Additionally, the plan was presented to the Transportation Safety Commission for feedback. In general, residents and the commission were generally in favor of the improvements. Therefore, no changes were made to the initial plan. Balloting: The traffic calming plan, which included speed feedbacks signs, and a ballot were sent to all residents in the neighborhood asking if residents were in favor of installing speed feedback signs in the neighborhood or not. A total of 24 ballots were returned with 18 votes in favor of the speed feedback signs and 6 votes against them. Staff Staff’s recommendation is consistent with the plan presented to the residents for Recommendation: balloting and includes installing speed feedback signs in strategic locations in the neighborhood as shown on the included plan. These signs are expected to meet the project goals of improving safety in the neighborhood while not greatly impacting residents. The total cost of these improvements is approximately $10,000. Funding is included in the 2026 budget for general traffic calming. Construction would take place later this year as new signs would need to be ordered. Options: The Transportation Safety Commission can vote to: • Advance the project to the Village Board in accordance with Staff’s recommendation • Advance the project to the Village Board with changes to Staff’s recommendation • Send the project back to Staff for changes and to bring it to a future Transportation Safety Commission Meeting • Reject the proposed changes, effectively terminating the project Or action at the discretion of the Commission.

Initial Public Outreach The Village sent out an initial public outreach in March 2026. This was to introduce the study and solicit input on existing traffic issues in the neighborhood. The results of that survey are presented in a sperate memo. While Staff considered all survey responses as the initial plan was developed, reducing vehicle speeds while avoiding negative impacts to pedestrians and bicyclists were the primary goals of the initial plan. Initial Plan and Second Public Outreach The results of the first survey were used to develop the initial plan as described in the Initial Design Memo which included installing speed feedback signs in four strategic locations in the neighborhood. The initial plan was sent out to all residents in the Lake Briarwood Neighborhood in April of 2026 as part of the second public outreach to solicit feedback on the initial plan (attached). Residents were also invited to the Transportation Safety Commission Meeting (TSC) on May 11th, 2026 to learn more about the project and provide comments. This TSC meeting was used as the “on-site” meeting as outlined in the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program. The survey was open until Friday May 15th, 2026. The letter was sent to 156 addresses. Surveys from 7 addresses were returned. No residents were present at the Transportation Safety Commission. The survey included one open ended question requesting comments on the initial plan. 1700 West Central Road, Mount Prospect, IL 60056 847-870-5640 publicworksdept@mountprospect.org Page 9 of 40 Page 2 of 6 FNSP – Lake Briarwood – Second Public Outreach Summary June 4, 2026 Comments were generally in favor of the initial plan. One resident suggested adding additional signs, one resident suggested speed humps, and two residents indicated they did not think there was a speed issue in the neighborhood. These comments are attached to this memo. Transportation Safety Commission Meeting 1 The comment period was open until May 15, 2026. At the meeting, the project was presented to the Transportation Safety Commission, including a project background and next steps. Meeting minutes are attached to the memo. There were no residents present at the meeting. As a result of the second public outreach, there are no proposed changes to the initial plan.

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.

I do think those are appropriate locations for the signs. I think those are good locations and are aligned with where I see most vehicles moving at the fastest speed. Also wanted to ask the following question for consideration. Is there a way to put a speed meter or give some sort of visual speed back on how fast a vehicle is speeding at that moment as they approach these signs? I think that may be a good deterrent as I I do observe that most of the cars that tend to speed live in the back section of the community. It makes sense, but the vehicles that live near Lynn Ct. tend to be the vehicles that speed through the neighborhood. Please let me know if there is any questions on this feedback.

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 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 19 of 40 3 Page 20 of 40 Open to being involved in any discussions or questions that come up in the future regarding related conversations.

What we do have is walkers at night - 2 to 3 wide walking without a torch or brightly lit clothing. What we do have is multiple cars (visitors or otherwise) parked in the street all day long & overnight sometimes too-instead of in peoples driveways. What we do have is dogs on long leads. These are things that need to be addressed- not some bright flashing sign that says crawl to a 20mph which is a completely unnecessary level of speed. Again, how many cars have had accidents in 63 years? I bet it's less than a handful & nothing to do with speeding- most likely age related How many injuries to people walking? I bet it's zero. Cheers On Monday, April 6, 2026 at 05:43:34 PM CDT, 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 1 Page 23 of 40 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. 2 Page 24 of 40 Resident at called and expressed that they do not perceive tra ic issues in the neighborhood.

They indicated that 1216 East Central Road, Arlington Heights, used to house a beauty school and that students would use Hatlen Avenue as overflow parking. A different business now occupies that building and the existing parking lot handles the current businesses customers. Concerns: 1. The existing 2-hour parking restriction is not consistent with other streets in the neighborhood. 2. The existing 2-hour parking restriction prevents residents from using street parking in front of their house as other residents in the neighborhood can do. 3. Without the demand from outside the neighborhood, Hatlen Avenue does not warrant specific parking regulations. 1700 West Central Road, Mount Prospect, IL 60056 847-870-5640 publicworksdept@mountprospect.org Page 30 of 40 Page 2 of 2 Hatlen Avenue Parking Study June 29, 2026 Proposed Staff proposes to remove the 2-hour parking restriction on Hatlen Avenue Improvements: between Central Road and Gindel Drive. This would match the parking restrictions on other streets in the neighborhood and provide more access to parking to residents on Hatlen Avenue. Resident Survey: Residents along Hatlen Avenue were invited to provide comments and attend the TSC meeting via letters sent to each address. A total of four residents provided comments, attached to this memo. Three residents were for removing parking restrictions and one resident wanted to preserve the 2-hour parking restriction. Recommendation: Due to current land use on and near Hatlen Avenue, Staff determined that the 2- hour parking restriction is no longer needed. Recommendation: Remove the existing 2-hour parking restriction on Hatlen Avenue between Central Road and Grindel Drive. Options: Leave the existing parking restriction as is.

Note this parking study is not a part of the ongoing Hatlen Heights traffic calming study. EXISTING CONDITIONS: On street parking on Hatlen Avenue between Central Road Central Road and Grindel Drive is currently restricted to 2 hours between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM. This is the only street in the immediate area with a 2-hour parking restriction. This parking restriction has been in place for many years but may no longer be necessary. PROPOSAL: The Village reviewed parking in the surrounding area and determined, with resident support, the parking Audrey Lane restriction on Hatlen Avenue could be removed without Hatlen Avenue negatively impacting the neighborhood. With removal of this parking restriction, vehicles will be able to park on Hatlen Avenue with no time limit from 6:00 AM to 2:00 AM. The Village-wide overnight parking restriction will remain in place, consistent with other streets in the Village. This change would directly affect residents on Hatlen Avenue; therefore, we are soliciting feedback from those residents Existing 2-Hour Parking before determining if Village Staff will pursue a parking 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM change. PUBLIC INPUT The Village is seeking public input as part of the parking study. Grindel Drive Should you wish, please respond by Friday June 26 th with any comments on removing the parking restrictions on Hatlen Avenue between Central Road and Grindel Drive by contacting the Public Works Department by phone at (847) 870-5640 or by email at publicworksdept@mountprospect.org. Please put “Hatlen Avenue Parking” in the subject line of your email. The issue will be presented to the Transportation Safety Commission at their meeting at 7:00 PM on July 13 th, 2026 at the Emergency Operations Center at Public Works, 1720 W. Central Road. You are invited to attend and participate in the meeting. The Village appreciates your involvement. VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT Transportation Safety PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Commission Meeting 1700 W.

While I understand the aim may be to improve convenience, removing the time limit would likely undermine fair access, worsen congestion, and reduce the safety and amenity that the current control protects. First, a time-limited ban helps ensure parking turnover and prevents long-stay occupation by residents or vehicles parking for extended periods. Without a 2-hour limit, spaces near homes can become effectively “claimed” all day, making it harder for those who genuinely need short-term parking to find it. Second, lifting the restriction could increase traffic searching for spaces and reduce road usability. Even small changes in parking behavior can compound—more vehicles staying longer generally means more vehicles trying to park, more entries and exits, and more safety concerns for pedestrians, especially for small children. Hatlen Avenue experiences this congestion every year as village residents park on our street to attend the 4th of July festival at Melas Park. I do not want our street to be this way every day. Third, increased parking duration can adversely affect safety and accessibility. It can narrow lane access and restrict visibility, making it more difficult for emergency vehicles, delivery drivers, garbage trucks, landscaping trucks and trailers, and residents with mobility needs to access the street safely. This is especially relevant on narrow streets in the village where parking already reduces usable width. 1 Page 33 of 40 Fourth, local residents should not be asked to absorb the consequences of what is essentially a relaxation of parking rules. On Hatlen Avenue, we are still adjusting to speed humps that are meant to calm the traffic. Can you imagine how street parking would compound the traffic issues on our street? Drivers, including residents, would be required to cross over a speed hump, navigate oncoming traffic with cars potentially parked on both sides of the street, and then over a second speed hump - just to get from Central to Grindel! It's incredibly frustrating to even think of dealing with that scenario every time we leave our homes! We have a beautiful, neat and tidy block. The residents here take pride in the care and upkeep of their property and homes. We do not want to have cars parked in front of our houses all day! We have all been able to keep the cars that we own parked in our garage or driveway up to this point. What has changed? LEAVE HATLEN AVENUE ALONE! NO MORE CHANGES! PLEASE KEEP THE 2-HOUR PARKING BAN IN PLACE! Keep Hatlen Avenue clear of vehicles so that we may enjoy the beautiful yards and see our neighbors and their houses the way that it has always been! Please keep in mind that Village parking should also protect the day-to-day function of the streets for everyone who lives here! For these reasons, I urge the Village to retain the 2-hour parking ban on Hatlen Avenue. I would welcome the opportunity for the council to provide the evidence of consultation and an assessment of likely impacts on congestion, access, and safety. Please treat this letter as a formal objection to lifting the 2-hour parking ban on Hatlen Avenue, between Central and Grindel.

I would like to add one point. I do not believe that “no parking from here to corner” is needed at most intersections with stop signs. In this case Hatlen Ave and Audrey are busy routes for traffic coming from Golf Rd between Busse Rd and Arlington Heights Rd to get to Central. I look forward to the Busse Rd expansion to hopefully help this. My point is Audrey and especially Hatlen Ave at Central is a busier than the average stop signs intersection. Also, Hatlen does not go directly straight across Central. Arlington Heights put Cleveland Ave a few feet West off Hatlen, so cars turning from either street makes really interesting sometimes. Another reason we need clear entry to Central. Sorry, I don’t mean to drag this on. Just adding anything to help the decision. Thank you very much again.

You are correct, Village Code prohibits parking withing 30’ of a stop sign or 20’ of a crosswalk. I will monitor the intersection for parking violations, and your comment of additional signage will be included in the agenda packet for the Transportation Safet Commission.

We have lived here since 1973 and this parking is no longer applicable and should be removed. This started many, many years ago when there was the beauty college of Arlington Heights in the building where Linda Z sewing is and next to Illinois Bone and Joint on the Arlington Heights side. The students would park across Central on Hatlen Ave for the entire block. This beauty college has been out of business for many years and there is no longer a parking issue. Again, please remove this restriction. As a separate issue, I do hope you install "no parking from here to corner" signs on both Hatlen and Audrey at the Central intersections, both North and South directions. Several occasions cars park within 10 - 15 feet from the Central intersection on Hatlen and Audrey. If you are exiting Hatlen or Audrey to Central you are in center of the street. Cars turning from Central to these streets are often stopped on Central, because they cannot turn safely. Example, I have started to turn from Central onto Hatlen and car suddenly appears and cannot move to the right and I am stuck in a half way turn with the rear of the car still on Central. Agreed, the approaching car should have stayed back to the turning car. That usually does not happen. We all know the speed and volume of traffic on Central 6:00am to 8:00pm. Not a good feeling. I thought at busy streets, like Central, that there was no parking within 30 feet of a stop sign as not hinder safe turns to and from a busy intersection. I hope this helps! Thank you for your consideration. 2 Page 36 of 40 Foresman, Luke From: Jakupovic, Kristina Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2026 11:13 AM To: Foresman, Luke Subject: FW: Hatlen Avenue Parking KRISTINA JAKUPOVIC ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERINTENDENT | MOUNT PROSPECT PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 1700 WEST CENTRAL ROAD | MOUNT PROSPECT, IL 60056 847.870.5640| KJAKUPOVIC@MOUNTPROSPECT.ORG Together Everyone Achieves More From: Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2026 11:12 AM To: Jakupovic, Kristina <KJakupovic@mountprospect.org> Subject: Hatlen Avenue Parking Hello, I live at Hatlen, in the area under review for a parking study.

This is great news; it will be interesting to see what you learn. It just seemed to me that perhaps time had come and gone with regard to the usefulness of these signs.

On this occasion, I wanted to have the benefit of your thoughts concerning a sign close to our property that, in my estimation, has outlived its usefulness. There is a green and white traffic sign by our driveway at 20 Hatlen which states: 2 Hour Parking 7:00am to 6pm. I suspect this sign was installed many years ago to prevent downtown commuters from parking near our end of Hatlen or Grindl as they took a PACE feeder bus which transported them to the Mount Prospect train station from the far west Dana Point parking lot. I believe that feeder service has not been in operation for a long time, and being a longtime resident, I feel pretty confident that no one parks on Hatlen or Grindl for commuting purposes. But I could be all wrong in my assumption. And that is why I have once again come to you for a better understanding of why this sign still exists. I can also let you know that this sign is the only one of its kind in the neighborhood. I want to thank you in advance, Luke, for any light you can shine on this matter. I truly appreciate your help, as always. Take care, 2 Page 39 of 40  Note: Comment 2 from this address Foresman, Luke From: Jakupovic, Kristina Sent: Monday, June 22, 2026 2:07 PM To: Foresman, Luke Subject: Fwd: Hatlen Avenue Parking Kristina Jakupovic Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: From: Date: June 22, 2026 at 1:59:40 PM CDT To: "Jakupovic, Kristina" <KJakupovic@mountprospect.org> Subject: Hatlen Avenue Parking Greetings, I received the printed notice concerning the "Hatlen Avenue Parking Study" today and would like to add my support for the removal of these two-hour parking signs on Hatlen Avenue between Central Road and Grindl Drive. As the Public Works Department and possibly the Transportation Safety Commission are aware, I am the resident who brought this matter to Public Works attention. My support for this removal was stated in an email communication to Luke Foresman recently. Consequently, I do not have any further comments to make on this matter here, but I plan to be in attendance at the July 13th meeting of the Transportation Safety Commission. Thank you very much for your prompt attention to this matter. I truly believe the removal of the signs will alleviate any confusion on the part of both residents and visitors who wish to park on Hatlen during the allowable parking times.
