AGENDA ITEMS
1. Resident request for traffic control on the 300 block of 5th Avenue.
Explanation: Request was brought by Eric Russell, PD. Resident that lives at 314 5th Avenue has had their vehicle hit four times from 2009 to present. Resident does not have any off-street parking; therefore, they must park along the shoulder in the 300 block of 5th Avenue. Three accidents occurred while parked on 5th Avenue and one accident occurred in the 500 block of 3rd Street.
Staff Recommendation: Due to 5th Avenue being a state highway, David Dryer forwarded this request to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to respond to resident. David Dryer also made motion to investigate potential pavement marking changes that could be made, forward to IDOT for review/approval, and add to pavement marking program for 2027. Josh Whiting seconded motion. Motion passes.
