Commissioners discussed various sign options, including the possibility of replicating the signs that had been purchased previously, but it was noted that the slogan and design of the signs purchased previously were likely protected by copyright. In light of the potential A copyright issues, commissioners also discussed the possibility of enlisting the assistance of the village’s Public Information Officer for the development of a slogan and the design of a sign. R Commissioners generally agreed that approval of the sign purchase should be deferred until a slogan and design for the proposed signs had been developed.

Commissioners asked if there had been any further communication from the resident who submitted the original concerns. Ex-Officio Mantels responded that he was not aware of any. Commissioner Wagner mentioned that he had visited the location and rang two doorbells. One of the residents he spoke with did not share concerns about the current parking situation. The other resident he spoke with noted that a house on Belden had held a party and that there were vehicles parked on Princeton for that event, but that they did not note a consistent problem with parking on Princeton. Commissioners generally agreed that no action should be taken without residents in the area being given an opportunity to provide comment. Commissioners discussed that the item should remain on the agenda and that staff should provide notice to residents of the commission’s discussion. Commissioners also discussed whether the item should be tabled until the July meeting or until the August meeting and generally agreed that it should be FT tabled until the August meeting due to the Fourth of July holiday. Motion to table Item No. 900, Parking restrictions on Princeton south of Belden, until the August commission meeting was made by Commissioner DeTomaso and seconded by Commissioner C. Timmerman.

Page 3 of 4 Page 7 of 47  Commissioner DeTomaso mentioned that he had been noticing lately what he felt there were too many traffic signs on village streets, and wondered if the number of signs and “sign clutter” was reducing motorists’ sensitivity to them. He suggested that commissioners make a point of paying attention to traffic signs so they could form their own opinions on the topic. 11. Chairperson Comments. Chairperson Pienkos mentioned that Ex-Officio Mantels had provided commissioners with a document pertaining to trail crossing safety measures. Ex-Officio Mantels responded that as a follow-up to previous discussion by the commission regarding the potential implementation of additional trail crossing safety measures, staff had begun the preparation of a summary sheet outlining potential measures, whether or not they were permissible, and their associated installation and maintenance costs.

A Item No. 898 – “Drive Like Your Kids Live Here” signs Commissioner Wagner mentioned that a consensus had been reached for the use of the slogan “Drive Like Your Kids Play Here”, and that he had prepared a sample sign with the village logo. R Commissioner DeTomaso suggested that the commission move forward with the agreed-upon slogan, but that the previous red graphic design without the village logo be used, due to the additional cost and sign space associated with the logo. D Commissioners discussed various sign options, the process for submitting a design to the sign vendor and placing the actual order, and also the need to submit the proposed purchase to the Village Manager for review and approval.

FT Commissioner Little mentioned concerns that one of the big issues in Villa Park is that there are no safe north-south bike and pedestrian routes. One of the biggest problems is the challenge for cyclists and pedestrians to cross St. Charles Road at Ardmore Avenue. Commissioner Little suggested that improvements to enhance the safety of cyclists and pedestrians crossing St. Charles Road should be implemented as soon as possible, in advance of the planned projects A to construct future bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Ex-Officio Guerra responded that a traffic engineering study would be needed prior to undertaking any substantial changes to the intersection, and that such a study was already expected to be part R of the Phase I process for the planned Ardmore Avenue Project. Discussion by commissioners regarding the St. Charles and Ardmore intersection followed, with specific topics including the volume of cyclist and pedestrian traffic at the intersection, motorist behavior observed by commissioners, intersection traffic crash data and statistics, the fact that the D traffic signals are part of a larger interconnected system, and potential options and costs for making the intersection more accommodating for non-motor vehicle users. Commissioners discussed that some of the more immediately available options included refreshing the pavement markings at the intersection and adding signage. Commissioners asked if it would be possible to obtain traffic crash reports for the intersection for the past few years to inform future discussion and Ex-Officio Guerra responded that staff would work to compile them.

We are unable to attend the meeting, but wanted to share our comments. We're also concerned with the number of cars parked in our neighborhood - specifically during Villa Park Soccer League Season. Agree With: • Adding "No Street Parking" signs (on park side, not residential side) • Restricting parking and limiting to ONLY Twin Lakes parking spaces Do NOT Agree with: • Adding more parking spaces o There is a parking lot on the southeast side of the park (on Ardmore Ave) o Do not want to impact the local ecological system (No tree removal, vegetation removal, etc) ▪ This also negatively impacts the appeal and value of our neighborhood Recommend: • Including a notice to parents when registering children for Village Programming (aka Soccer League) to be respectful of residential parking restrictions • Sending a reminder to homeowners/residents that restriction applies to front easement as well. o Latest Renters at 1040 N Princeton parked on both sides of the street, including overnight parking • Parking Enforcement should monitor this during high traffic/parking problem times (Ex: Kid's Soccer League - Late April through Early June) Looking forwarding to hearing what actions the commission will take! Thanks, Rosa Botello Page 44 of 47 Page 1 of 3 Page 45 of 47 Page 2 of 3 Page 46 of 47 Sec. 14-207. No parking zones. (a) Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall park a vehicle on either side of the street on any street less than nineteen (19) feet in width as measured in a straight line, perpendicular to the curb, from the pavement side on one (1) curb to one (1) pavement side of the opposite curb. (1) Parking is allowed on both sides of Grant Avenue from Washington Street south to the dead end terminus of Grant Avenue. (b) No person shall park a vehicle on one (1) side of the street on any street less than twenty-nine (29) feet but at least nineteen (19) feet wide, measured as in paragraph (a) above. The no parking side is to be designated as the fire hydrant side. If no clearly defined fire hydrant side exists, the traffic and safety commission will recommend the no parking side; however, parking is allowed on both sides of the street on streets twenty-nine (29) feet and over in width, as measured in paragraph (a) above.
