ITEM SUMMARY:
Educare West DuPage at Glen Arbor has renovated space within the Glen Arbor Community Church and provides 32 children
for the West Chicago community with early care and education. The program has a drop-off/pick-up Monday through Friday
between 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Educare is requesting;
A) A drop-off/pick-up zone at the entrance of 204 Church Street
B) Create a three-way stop at the corners of W. Geneva St. & Wood.
C) Add a crosswalk from the sidewalk running east on Church St, crossing Wood.
City staff reviewed the request and the site and suggested placing a stop sign on Wood Street for northbound traffic only, with
a marked crosswalk, running east to west across Wood Street. This will allow staff, and those dropping off children to park in
the lot at the northeast corner of Wood Street and Geneva Street and then proceed through the marked crosswalk on Wood
Street and Church Street.
Ordinance 23-O-0032 allows for a stop sign for Northbound traffic on Wood Street at Church Street, at an east/west crosswalk
on the south side of Wood Street at Church Street.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 23-O-0032
