MEMO TO: Charles A. Willis, Village Manager
MEMO FROM: �
Alan J. ce Vi ge Engineer
SUBJECT: PROPOSED STOP SIGN INSTALLATIONS
Recent traffic observations by my office indicate the need for
additional regulatory signage at several locations within the Village.
Specifically, stop signs should be installed at the following locations:
STOP STREET
Schirra Circle
Baltimore Drive
Vine Lane
LOCATION
at Biesterfield Road
at Biesterfield Road
at Baltimore Drive
The warrants for a single way stop intersection are enumerated
in the "Illinois Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices" and include:
(At an) "Intersection of a less important road with a main
road where appplication of the normal right-of-way rule
is unduly hazardous."
Although several other warrants are listed, the warrant identified
above justifies the installation of the proposed signage.
I have prepared the attached Ordinance which is necessary for
the implementation of the proposed regulations. The Ordinance extends
the limits of Biesterfield Road as a through street from its existing
termination at Rohlwing Road to Meacham Road. The identification of
Biesterfield Road as a through street from Arlington Heights Road to
Meacham Road will require all cross street traffic to stop prior to
entering/crossing Biesterfield Road. The through street designation
will allow for removal of the existing yield sign at Schirra Circle
and its replacement with a stop sign.

The remaining stop installations will be handled by amending the
current one-way and two-way stop intersection article of the Municipal
Code.
Please note that all three proposed amendments require cross -street
traffic to stop prior to entering the major street. The major street
will not be required to stop.
The installation of stop controls on Vine at Baltimore and at
Baltimore at Biesterfield are concurred with by the Traffic Division
of the Police Department. The replacement of the yield on Schirra
by a stop sign was a request of the Federal Highway Administration
during the Biesterfield Road FAUS Project.
I, therefore, respectfully recommend approval of the attached
Ordinance and its presentation to the President and Board of Trustees
at their meeting of February 9, 1988.
