In order to provide feedback specifically related to the following improvements, please email Village Engineering Technician Bill Koclanis at bkoclanis@vrf.us. Feedback will be compiled and discussed at a future Traffic and Safety Commission Meeting as the Commission deems appropriate.
The Northeast Neighborhood Traffic Study was discussed by the Traffic and Safety Commisison on July 26th and September 21st of this year. As a result of the July 26th discussion, a supplementary memo and exhibits were also compiled. Based on public discussion of these documents at both commission meetings, multiple recommendations for improvement were made and presented to the Village Board on October 10th for final approval. The Village Board approved the recommended measures, with the addition of the Greenfield/Harlem location, all of which can be found below with additional detail. It should be noted that these installations will initially be implemented with temporary measures to expedite their installation and gauge their effectiveness prior to implementing permanent solutions:
Location 1 (LeMoyne @ Harlem): LeMoyne will be converted to a one-way (eastbound) street between Harlem Ave and the alley, with a “right-out only” curb diverter to allow for southbound turns onto Harlem Ave only. Additional signage to include:
- Right Turn Only for eastbound traffic
- No Right Turn for southbound traffic
- One-Way and Do Not Enter signage facing eastward

Location 2 (Bonnie Brae @ North): A cul-de-sac will be installed on Bonnie Brae, at the south edge of the east/west alley. A Dead End sign will also be installed at Bonnie Brae/LeMoyne for northbound traffic.

Location 3 (Clinton @ North): A partial cul-de-sac will be installed on Clinton Place, at the south edge of the east/west alley, blocking southbound traffic but allowing northbound traffic to continue to North Ave. A Do Not Enter sign will also be installed for southbound traffic at the location of the partial cul-de-sac.

Location 4 (Stop Sign Changes): The current two-way stop intersections of William/LeMoyne and William/Greenfield will be converted to all-way stop intersections and the all-way stop at Clinton Pl/LeMoyne will be modified such that only the north/south legs of the intersection are required to stop.
