WEILAND ROAD AND PAULINE AVENUE TURNING RESTRICTION
Mr. Balling reviewed the Weiland Road and Pauline Avenue turning restriction
suggestion, details of which are contained in Mr. Kuenkler's memo to him of
August 30, 1993.
Scott Polakow, 140 Pauline, presented a petition suggesting stop lights at
Pauline and Weiland, and Pauline and Route 83, as well as reduction of the speed
limit.
President Mathias stated that a stop light is in the Village's long-range plan
at Pauline and Route 83.
Jerry Dolan, 230 Pauline, emphasized that it is impossible to make a left turn
from Pauline onto Weiland in the evening; they are asking for some type of a
study to find a solution.
Dan Racinowski, 902 Hillside, stated that he does not want to see any additional
traffic pushed onto Newtown or Highland Grove; there is a school in that area.
Trustee Reid stated that there is definitely a problem; he does not think that
a left-turn restriction is the answer; he believes the solution lies in a more
aggressive approach with Lake County to expand the road and include a turning
lane. Before any action is taken, he believes it is appropriate to hold an
informational meeting in the area.
Trustee Hendricks agrees; he believes the heavy enforcement should continue; he
believes the turning restriction would just push the traffic elsewhere.
Rick Burke asked that the engineering of the deceleration lanes be reviewed.
Trustee Braiman concurred with Trustee Reid that a long-term look has to be taken
at this situation, and public meetings are in order.
President Mathias stated that staff will prepare a presentation for a meeting,
and residents of the area will be notified of the meeting.
