A full history of traffic calming studies on Audrey Lane dating back to the mid 1990’s is available in the documents section on this website (Audrey Lane Traffic Memorandum). This current study was initiated when a petition was submitted to Public Works in October of 2024 and will include all previous traffic counts and discussions as outlined in the memorandum. This petition requested the Village consider supplemental traffic calming measures to the new speed feedback signs or different traffic calming measures altogether. Concerns relate to speeds of vehicles on the street and cut-through traffic.
Public Works staff reviewed the petition and recent traffic counts on the street. The traffic volume and speed data showed the street qualified for the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program. Staff then updated the project area to include Hatlen Avenue, Connie Lane and Bonita Avenue as well as changes to Audrey Lane could impact these streets as well. Initial public outreach was sent out to all residents in the project area to introduce the study and solicit input.
