G-703 - 08/27/2002 - TRAFFIC - Ordinances Supporting DocumentsVILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Village Board Transmittal Memorandum DATE: August 22, 2002 SUBJECT: Yield Sign at Regent Drive and Briarwood Lakes Westbound Traffic Yielding to Regent Drive FROM: Dale L. Durfey, Jr., P.E., Village Engineer RECOMMENDATION: That the Village Board approve the attached Ordinance which adds westbound Briarwood Lakes yielding to Regent Drive at the entrance to Briarwood Lakes to Schedule V of Chapter 2 of Title 7 of the Village Code. It has recently come to staff's attention that a potential traffic hazard exists at the intersection of Regent Drive and the entrance to Briarwood Lakes. A vehicle coming westbound out of Briarwood does not have any traffic control signage as it enters the intersection on Regent Drive. In my review of this, it is my recollection that Regent Drive should have the right -of -way and that traffic from Briarwood Lakes should yield. I also recollect that a yield (or perhaps a stop sign) was at this location. When I inspected the site on July 31, 2002, neither a yield nor stop sign existed for westbound traffic. I then discussed this with Lee Hammer and Mark Stevens of the Public Works Department and Deputy Police Chief Bill Haas, all of whom also recollected that a yield sign used to exist at this location. None of us knows what happened to the sign and why it no longer exists. In reviewing this location's file, a study was conducted by the Engineering, Public Works and Police Departments in December 1994 concerning the specific movement of eastbound Regent (traffic continuing east into Briarwood Lakes) yielding to northbound Regent (traffic coming off of 31 st Street). That item was on your December 19, 1994 agenda where you approved an Ordinance revising Schedule V to formalize that yield movement. This particular issue is for westbound traffic coming out of Briarwood. The Police, Public Works and Engineering Departments have studied this item and find that westbound traffic out of Briarwood Lakes should yield to Regent Drive. The intersection is Village right -of -way and a yield sign can be appropriately placed on the north side of the street. I am attaching a portion of the original engineering drawing for Regent Drive (part of Brook Forest Unit 2) for your information. I have discussed this with Briarwood Lakes Homeowner's President Connie Xinos who asked that they be notified when the sign is placed so that they can coordinate the location. The Village Attorney has drafted the attached Ordinance revising Schedule V of Chapter 2 of Title 7 of the Village Code which adds this yield restriction. This item is being placed on the Board Agenda of August 27, 2002 for your consideration. Regent- Briarwood Yield doc N / OF 0.4�g9 VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Village Board Transmittal Memorandum 9CF �O U NiI DATE: August 22, 2002 SUBJECT: U -Turn Prohibition along 16th Street between Illinois Route 83 and Oakbrook Center Entrance Road FROM: Dale L. Durfe y, Jr. P.E. Village EngineerD D RECOMMENDATION: That the Village Board approve the attached ordinance which adds eastbound 16th Street between Illinois Route 83 and the Oakbrook Center Entrance Road to the U -Turn Prohibition list within Schedule X of Chapter 2 of Title 7 of the Village Code. Earlier this year, the Village installed a raised concrete median within 16th Street to prohibit traffic turning into Castle Drive. The raised median extended from Route 83 to the first driveway to the commercial complex on the north side of the street. The median was stopped at that location so that emergency vehicles would still have access if they came from Route 83. We have since received complaints concerning eastbound motorists on 1 16 th Street making U -turns at the end of the median and then going back and turning north onto Castle Drive. At least one Oak Brook Club resident has informed me that they have been involved in near -miss situations from these U- turning vehicles. Upon my review of this situation, I agree that the U- turning vehicles are a hazard and should not be permitted. I have discussed this item with Deputy Police Chief Bill Haas who concurs. My recommendation is that this area be added to Schedule X of Chapter 2 of Title 7 prohibiting U- turns from eastbound 16th Street between Illinois Route 83 and the Oakbrook Center Entrance Road The Village Attorney has drafted the attached ordinance which adds this U -turn prohibition. This item is being placed on the Village Board agenda of August 27, 2002 for your consideration. U turn prohibition %t11_1 7. A.

VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 4 of 13 August 27, 2002 8. B. 2) A vehicle coming westbound out of Briarwood does not have any traffic control signage as it enters the intersection on Regent Drive. During review of this, it was determined that Regent Drive should have the right -of -way and that traffic from Briarwood Lakes should yield.
