AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
August 11, 2020
SUBJECT: Ordinance to Amend the Village Code creating Schedule XVIII No Passing
Zone in Title 7, Chapter 2, Section 1 in the Oak Brook Code of Ordinances.
FROM: James R. Kruger Jr., Chief of Police Al
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board approve Ordinance 2020-
PD-PASS-G-1168 creating Schedule XVIII and prohibiting vehicular passing on the left
on 35"' Street between Midwest/Cass and Meyers Road.
Background/History:
The Village has received significant complaints regarding speeding and unsafe operation
of motor vehicles on 35"' Street, west of Midwest Rd, east of Meyers Rd. As a means to
provide for increased traffic safety and traffic calming, the street was striped as a "No
Passing Zone". This ordinance and creation of a new schedule in our traffic code would
codify that marking and allow for regular enforcement, especially in the event of a traffic
crash. This zone would not prohibit the passing of a vehicle parked on the side of the
roadway or stopped in traffic. It is meant to prohibit overtaking a moving motor vehicle.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Village Board approve Ordinance 2020-PD-PASS-G-1168.
