The public is invited to attend an open house to learn about preliminary recommendations that are the result of public input and studies conducted for Zone 11 of the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Study Program. Zone 11 is bounded by Edward Hospital on the north, Washington Street on the east, 75th Street on the south and West Street on the west and includes the subdivisions of Olympic Terrace, West Highlands, Hobson West and Maplebrook I.
The open house will be held from 5:30 to 7:30PM on Wednesday, June 19 in Meeting Rooms B & C of the Naperville Municipal Center, 400 S. Eagle St. Residents and organizations in Zone 11 are invited to attend and view the consultant’s preliminary recommendations which will be presented continuously throughout the evening. For those who are unable to attend, the recommendations will be posted on the project webpage at www.naperville.il.us/zone11.aspx following the open house. Comments are encouraged and will be accepted via email to the contact listed on the project webpage through 5PM on Monday, June 24.
This is the second open house being offered for Zone 11. The first took place in March to obtain public input before the consultants performed their study. These studies are part of a new Neighborhood Traffic Study Program, which will address traffic conditions within identified neighborhoods in the City in a comprehensive manner rather than on an individual request basis as has been done in the past. Every year, the City receives numerous resident requests to investigate traffic issues such as speeding, cut-through traffic, pedestrian safety and parking concerns.
Using the City’s Master Thoroughfare Plan map, the City has identified 33 neighborhood study areas and anticipates completing one to three studies a year until all the study areas are completed. A map of the study areas and more information on the Neighborhood Traffic Study Program can be found at www.naperville.il.us/ntsp.aspx.
