RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING ZONES CONT'D:
West Shakespeare Avenue from 2200-2259 North Parkside Avenue (east and west sides); Residential Permit Parking Zone. Not Recommended [Or2018-163]
SINGLE DIRECTION:
West Cortland Street from North Pulaski Road to North Lawndale Avenue; Single Direction - Southerly. Not Recommended. West Cortland Street is a two-way local road between North Pulaski Road and North Lawndale Avenue. West Cortland is an east-west street; therefore, CDOT does not recommend this one way conversion ordinance - (18-01731940) [02018-4305]
West Lemoyne Street from North Kildare Avenue to North Tripp Avenue; Single Direction - Easterly.' Not Recommended. West Le Moyne Street operates as a two-way local road east of North Kildare Avenue and as a one-way eastbound local road west of North Kildare Avenue. North Tripp Avenue operates as a two-way local road south of West Grand Avenue and dead-ends into West Le Moyne Street. Southbound motorists on North Tripp Avenue would reach a dead-end at West Le Moyne without a turnaround location if West Le Moyne Street, east of North Kildare Avenue, was converted to a one-way eastbound road. Therefore, CDOT does not recommend converting West Le Moyne Street to a single direction eastbound street east of North Kildare Avenue -- (18-01731922) [02018-4308]
TRAFFIC WARNING SIGNS AND/OR SIGNALS:
West 59th Street and South Komensky Avenue; Two Way Stop Sign. Not Recommended. West 59th Street is a major collector roadway with significantly higher traffic volumes than South Komensky Avenue, a one way northbound residential street. Stop signs on streets with higher volumes such as West 59th Street tend to increase rear-end crashes, increase congestion, and create a false sense of security for pedestrians that every vehicle will stop. Stop compliance is particularly low at T-intersections. Additionally, due to this intersection's proximity to the traffic signal at West 59th Street and South Pulaski Road, a stop sign at South Komensky Avenue will be unexpected for drivers. Therefore, CDOT does not recommend an All Way Stop Sign at this intersection - (18-01731514) [Or2018-254]
West 95th Street and South Eggleston Street; Stop Sign, Stopping east and westbound traffic on West 95th Street. Not Recommended. West 95th Street is a major arterial roadway with significantly higher traffic volumes than South Eggleston Avenue, a local street. Stop signs on streets with higher volumes such as West 95th Street tend to increase rear-end crashes, increase congestion, and create a false sense of security for pedestrians that every vehicle will stop. Stop compliance is particularly low at T-intersections. Additionally, there is an existing pedestrian refuge island on West 95th Street at the south leg of South Eggleston Street that allows pedestrians to cross traffic one direction at a time. Therefore, CDOT does not recommend an All Way Stop Sign at this intersection -- (18-01381289) [Or2018-189]
These Do Not Pass recommendations were concurred in by al! members of the Committee present, with no dissenting votes.
