In the fall of 2025, residents within the Lake Briarwood neighborhood submitted a petition requesting a traffic calming study be initiated. Their concerns were related to bicycle/pedestrian safety and the speed of vehicles on the street. Staff have worked through the Friendly Neighborhood Streets Program process for the neighborhood, and the final plan is ready to be presented to the Transportation Safety Commission.
Balloting of the final plan to address resident concerns has concluded and results will be presented to the Transportation Safety Commission at their meeting at 7:00 PM on July 13th, 2026, at the Emergency Operations Center at Public Works, 1720 W. Central Road. The ballot is non-binding, ultimately the Transportation Safety Commission will decide if the project should proceed. If they recommend the project to move forward, it will go before the Village Board for final consideration.
Staff’s recommendation is to install four speed feedback signs in strategic locations in the neighborhood to address resident concerns.
The Transportation Safety Commission agenda packet, petition, traffic data, received comments, initial design and final design are available in the Documents section on this page.
