C. PUBLIC FORUM:

D. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Recommend approval to establish a no parking, stopping, or standing zone between 7:45
 a.m.-8:15 a.m. and 2:15 p.m.-2:45 p.m. on the east side of Sleight Street from a point 80'

 west side of Sleight Street from a point 80' south of North Avenue to a point 80' north of
 School Street.
 Dunne provided an overview of the proposed parking restriction, explaining that the City
 had been contacted by Ellsworth Elementary School in order to address a conflict
 between the school’s arrival/dismissal traffic pattern and the posted parking restrictions
 on Sleight Street.

 Dunne stated that the proposed parking restriction would allow the school to maintain its
 existing traffic operations, as well as ensure that two-way traffic can flow on Sleight
 Street. Ellsworth School, North Central College, and the property owners on the affected
 block were all notified of the proposed changes and no objection was received.

 Fischer asked why the restriction was not extended all the way to North Avenue. Dunne
 answered that the areas near the intersections do not permit parking in order to maintain
 clear sight distance of pedestrians and turning vehicles.

 Gustin questioned if the restrictions, once approved, could be removed if drivers found the
 signage confusing. Dunne responded that modifications could be brought to TAB again if
 the future if necessary.

 Howenstine asked if the signage was in effect year-round. Dunne answered that it is.
 Howenstine expressed concerns with the clarity of the language for the new signage and
 that driver confusion may lead to compliance issues. Dunne explained that the new
 signage will be consistent with signage on the adjacent block and that clarity will be
 considered when posted the new signs.

 Preissig requested an explanation of the potential striping plan for the block. Dunne
 responded that, in some circumstances, the City stripes the area adjacent to the
 driveways in order to provide a visual buffer that will prevent vehicles from parking or
 queuing in that area.

 A motion was made by Melaniphy, seconded by Gustin, to recommend approval
 to establish a no parking, stopping, or standing zone between 7:45 a.m.-8:15 a.m.
 and 2:15 p.m.-2:45 p.m. on the east side of Sleight Street from a point 80' south of

 intersection at 95th Street and Knoch Knolls Road
 Hynes explained that the new traffic signal at 95th Street and Knoch Knolls Road had
 recently been turned on. This item is being brought to TAB to clean up the Municipal
 Code so that it aligns with the current traffic control conditions.

 Fischer thanked staff for their actions at this intersection to improve safety.

 Overholt commented that speeds have increased on westbound 95th Street due to the
 signal. The Board briefly discussed why speeds would increase and Gustin asked if
 anything could be done by the City.

 Police Department Report

 Commander Williams informed the Board that April is National Distracted Driver
 Awareness month and that there will be additional enforcement for texting and using
 social media while driving. The Police Department will be working with driver’s education
 classes to inform students about the impacts of distracted driving.

 Williams also shared that the Police Department will be participating in a Safer Naper
 campaign which includes awareness for bicycle, pedestrian, and motorcycle safety, as
 well as Scott’s Law.

 Gustin noted observations of excessive speeding, lack of stop compliance, and lack of
 awareness of pedestrians in the Westside neighborhood and asked if any measures
 could be taken while waiting for the neighborhood traffic study to be completed.

 Dunne responded that staff is aware of these concerns but will not be providing any traffic
 calming measures presently, since the engineering consultant will be collecting baseline
