DEAN BOARD ROOM BUTLER GOVERNMENT CENTER I2OO OAK BROOK ROAD OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS 630-368-5000 AGENDA ITEM Board ofTrustees Regular Meeting of January 13,2026 SUBJECT:A Resolution supporting functional classification revisions for three roadway segments within the Village of Oak Brook. Tim O'Malley, Public Works DirectorFROM: BUDGET SOURCE/BT]DGET IMPACT: N/A RECOMMEIIDED MOTION: I move to approve Resolution R-2331, A Resolution Approving Functional Classification Revisions for Three Roadwavs fiom Local Roadwavs to Collector Roadwavs Backsround/Historv: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), through the lllinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), maintains a functional classification system that groups streets and highways according to their operational characteristics and their role in the broader regional network. Functional classification is based on traffic movement pattems, connectivity to other classified routes, adjacent land-use characteristics, and the roadway's operational purpose within the network. As part of its ongoing transportation planning efforts, Village staff reviewed three roadway segments and assessed their current usage, connectivity, and land-use context. Although all three corridors are currently classified as Local Roadways, each segment functions as a Collector Roadway based on observed travel pattems, adjacent developmen! and the role they play in connecting local streets to higher-order arterials. While not a permissible justification for reclassification, roadways classified as Collector or higher are also eligible for certain Federal-aid grant programs such as the Local Surface Transportation Program (STP-L). CMAP suggests that local jurisdictions provide a formal resolution ofsupport before submitting functional classification revision requests for regional and state consideration. Description Of Roadways & Justilication The following three roadway segments are recommended for reclassification from Local Roadway to Collector Roadway: I l. Spring Road (York Road to 3lst Street): This corridor provides continuous circulation between multiple residential neighborhoods and higher-order routes within Oak Brook. The segment collects local traffic fiom subdivision streets and funnels it toward primary arterial routes, and vice versa. The roadway spacing, connectivity, and observed traffic function are consistent with a collector-level facility. 2. St. Paschel Drive (35th Street to Slst Stre€t): This roadway gathers trallic from the local system and funnels it to other collectors and the arterial system, and vice versa. It accommodates steady daily circulation generated by nearby land uses such as corporate offices, commercial properties, recreational facilities, and a nearby high school. The corridor exhibits characteristics typical ofa collector roadway, including two access points, moderate through-traflic volumes, and a clear role in distributing local traffic toward arterial routes. 3. Timber Edge Road (Harger Road to Frontage Road/EB IL Route 38 Entrance Ramp): This corridor borders a residential area while providing land access to the Forest heserve. This roadway terminates at collector roadways on both ends. Revising Timber Edge Drive to a collector roadway would ensure continuity in the system from one collector to the next. This roadway has only one intersecting roadway and one access point within this section, so it would be better characterized as a collector roadway. The roadway demonstrates collector-level functionality through its continuity, connectivity, and role in transporting traffic to and from surrounding higher+lassifi cation facilities. These classifications are consistent with FHWA,/IDOT criteria and are based on the functional characteristics ofthe conidors. Reclassifoing these roadway segments will ensure that the official functional classification system accurately represents existing roadway usage within the Village. The proposed updates improve regional network consistency and reflect the true role these corridors play in local mobility. Village staffhas prepared the required documentation, including maps, land-use descriptions, and functional classification justification narratives. Upon Village Board approval, staff will submit the full request package to CMAP for review and transmittal to IDOT and FHWA. Recommendation: Staffrecommends that the Village Board approve Resolution R-2331, A Resolution Approving Functional Classification Revisions for Three Roadways from Local Roadways to Collector Roadways.

Spring Road (York Road to 31sl Street) This corridor provides continuous circulation between multiple residential neighborhoods and higher-order routes within Oak Brook. The segment collects local lraffic from subdivision streels and funnels it toward primary arterial routes, and vice-versa. The roadway spacing, connectivity, and observed trafiic function are consistenl with a collector-level facility. 2. St. Paschal Drive (35th Street to 3'lst Street) This roadway gathers trafiic from the local system and funnels it to other collectors and the arterial system, and vice-versa. lt accommodates steady daily circulation generated by nearby land uses such as corporate offices, commercial properties, recreational facilities, and a nearby high school.

Timber Edge Road (Harger Road to Frontage Road/EB lL Route 38 Entrance Ramp) This corridor borders a residential area while providing land access to the Forest Preserve. This roadway terminates at collector roadways on both ends. Revising Timber Edge Drive to a collector roadway would ensure continuity in the system from one collector to the next.
