Approve the recommendation to establish one-way and two-way stop controls for streets throughout Naperville Gustin asks if these streets are all new construction. Prousa clarifies that most of the streets are new construction from the last 5 to 10 years and that staff is cleaning up the municipal code with this ordinance. A motion was made by Howenstine, seconded by Hurley, approved. The motion carried by unanimous vote. Aye: 8- Gustin, Howenstine, Melaniphy, Seeberg, Brown, Hurley, Nondorf, and Webb Absent: 1- Blubaugh 4. Approve a recommendation to restrict parking on the north and south side of Cantore Road from Illinois Route 59 to a point 165’ east of the Forgue Drive edge of pavement. Webb asked if the semis that are parking on the street are associated with any business in the area. Tartaglia states that he is not aware that they are. Hurley asks if the City has a broader ordinance for truck parking and if there is a place for truck drivers to find information on where they are allowed to park. Tartaglia states that there is regulations on trucks for parking based on weight. He also states that there is no guidance available for truck drivers on available parking throughout the City. Gustin asks if the proposal includes all parking or just semi-trucks. Tartaglia clarifies that the restriction includes all vehicles. Gustin hopes that TAB and City staff can look at truck parking city-wide in the future to come up with ideas on how to better regulate it. Scriven-young asks if the semi-trucks are able to safely exit the commercial developments. City of Naperville Page 3 Printed on 12/7/2020 Transportation Advisory Board Meeting Minutes November 5, 2020 Tartaglia clarifies that the concern was not about the safety of the trucks exiting the developments but rather the vehicles that were exiting Forgue onto Cantore and whether they had adequate sight distance to make their movement because of semi-trucks parking on Cantore. Seeberg asks if it was considered to extend the parking restriction all the way up to the homes that are in the neighborhood to the east. Tartaglia states that it could be extended, TED looked at the traffic request for sight distance and the restriction that is being proposed was to ensure that drivers coming onto Cantore from Forgue had the adequate sight distance to make their movement. Seeberg agrees with Gustin and Hurley that a broader look needs to be taken into account when it comes to truck parking across Naperville. Hurley asks who has the jurisdiction to set the penalties for illegal truck parking and what is the penalty. Louden states the amount that is charge for a citation is located in the municipal code. The City also has a truck permit process that issues fines if the truck routes are not followed. Louden will send the citation fines to TAB after the meeting. Hurley states that the fines may not be high enough to promote drivers from not parking in the area because they keep coming back. Louden says that staff will follow up on the fine structure. Nondorf asks if we have any knowledge if their are multiple vehicles parking and if we are potentially creating a secondary problem because we are allowing trucks and vehicles to park farther east from the intersection of Forgue and Cantore. Melaniphy asks if we will have enough radius clearance out of the commercial development to allow deliveries if trucks are parked to the east of the restriction. Louden states that the area from the restriction zone to the driveway entrance is about 135 feet. Louden also states that TAB can make a recommendation back to staff that they can address before bringing this item to City Council. Seeberg is in favor of a recommendation to staff to have the restriction extend farther east along Cantore. Louden states that TAB is more than welcome to make a motion that is different than what staff has suggested. Howenstine asks if the residents in the neighborhood would prefer no parking on the street. Hurley asks if we can approve the staff recommendation because it is a public City of Naperville Page 4 Printed on 12/7/2020 Transportation Advisory Board Meeting Minutes November 5, 2020 safety issue or if we have to wait a month for staff to bring it back. Melaniphy asks staff to clarify on the process for making an amendment to the recommendation and if TAB can do that before the item goes to City Council. Louden confirms that is correct. Howenstine asks if the residents in the area have weighed in on the possible restriction. Tartaglia clarifies that the residents were not involved in the proposed recommendation. Staff looked at the request as a line of sight request. Melaniphy asks if instead of amending the restriction to include the 135 feet to the driveway to the east, to instead amend the restriction to include 85 more feet to the east so that residents can use the area for personal parking but trucks will not be able to fit. Tartaglia agrees that it is a fair compromise. Gustin states that he agrees with extending the restriction. Nondorf asks if this concern is because the trucks are overnight parking or just parking there for a few minutes before and after a delivery. Hurley states that when he drives by the area there is always a truck parked in the area. Nondorf agrees with Gustin that the restriction should be made to the residential parcel line. Gustin moves to approve staff recommendation for no parking along Cantore Road as shown on the map provided by staff with the addition of an extension of the parking restriction to the east and the border of the residential properties. A motion was made by Gustin, seconded by Seeberg, to approve as amended to establish a No Parking Zone on the north and south side of Cantore Road from Illinois Route 59 to a point 308 feet east of the Forgue Drive edge of pavement. Aye: 7- Gustin, Melaniphy, Seeberg, Brown, Hurley, Nondorf, and Webb Nay: 1- Howenstine Absent: 1- Blubaugh E. OLD BUSINESS: Gustin asks about the public meeting concerning the Westside neighborhood traffic study. City of Naperville Page 5 Printed on 12/7/2020 Transportation Advisory Board Meeting Minutes November 5, 2020 Prousa explains that the public meeting was on October 29th. KLOA, the traffic consultant, gave a presentation on the recommendations and findings for the neighborhood. Public feedback and comments were collected. The recommendations and findings along with the public feedback will be presented to TAB at the December 3rd meeting. Hurley asks about any potential programs that the City has for providing information to mapping companies concerning speed limit or traffic changes. Prousa explains that the City looked into the issue and the City does not provide information to mapping companies but they expect that these companies look at changes that are made to our traffic schedule in the municipal code. Hurley states that City should explore options for providing that information to the mapping companies. F. NEW BUSINESS: Gustin mentions that he saw stop signs in Warrenville that flash when vehicles approach the intersection and he hope the City looks into these in the future. G. ADJOURNMENT: A motion was made by Gustin, seconded by Nondorf, to adjourn the meeting at 7:56 p.m. The motion carried by unanimous vote. Aye: 8- Gustin, Howenstine, Melaniphy, Seeberg, Brown, Hurley, Nondorf, and Webb Absent: 1- Blubaugh City of Naperville Page 6 Printed on 12/7/2020
