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, the final plan was presented to the Transportation Safety Commission at their July 13th meeting. The Commission then forwarded their recommendation to the Village Board for consideration.
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.
