Pedestrian and Vehicular Safety on Oakbrook Forest <br /> <br />This information was presented in the November traffic commission meeting for the <br />Commissioners information. At that time, Lisa Frumhoff was present and mentioned her <br />concerns. She stated that there is an enormous amount of traffic that uses Oakbrook as a <br />cut-thru from McKnight to Delmar, especially in the mornings and rush hours. Also, <br />motorists are speeding and honking to the motorists backing out their driveways along <br />Oakbrook. There are several kids, elderly individuals, and walkers. <br /> <br />Several traffic requests were presented by the residents of the Oakbrook Forest <br />neighborhood. The Engineering Division reviewed all the requests and the following are <br />the items warranted as agenda items for the meeting: <br /> <br />1. Stop signs at all corners for Oakbrook and Gannon intersection <br /> <br />Nancy Weisman, resident at 701 Oakbrook Lane was present and stated that the <br />stop sign on westbound Gannon is frequently ignored by drivers. <br /> <br />Present were Lisa Frumhoff, resident at 852 Oakbrook Lane and Christopher <br />Coulter, resident at 846 Oakbrook Lane. They stated their concerns about speed <br />on Oakbrook lane. Also, since cars park along the street it makes the street <br />narrower for cars to travel. There are no sidewalks along Oakbrook for people to <br />walk. <br /> <br />Ms. Schafers informed that cars parking along the street make it more difficult for <br />cars to speed. <br /> <br />Ms. Tapia submitted to Ms. Frumhoff, a letter in response to the Oakbrook <br />neighborhood multiple requests. Also, mentioned that the Public Works Department <br />will install “speed limit” signs along Oakbrook and “no parking from here to corner” <br />sign at the intersection Oakbrook-Delmar. <br />V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\minutes\2004\Minutes 12-8-04.doc <br /> <br />
