traffic light is necessary Closed

836 Elmwood Avenue Evanston, IL 60202, USA - Evanston

I and many others have called in with the the utmost need for traffic lights at the intersection of Main Street and Elmwood Avenue. Even with the crosswalk that now has yield signs, drivers still speed thru the Main Street crosswalk while seniors, people with infants in strollers, etc anyone are walking in the designated cross walk. This has been an ongoing problem & I have witnessed and experienced this terrifying reality for over 20 years.

  I agree that motorists yielding to pedestrians is somewhat of a problem at this intersection. Speeding doesn't seem all that bad to me, but I'd need to see data to decide one way or another. Regardless, a traffic signal is not a treatment for speeding.

  Service Request number W049485-050813 has been closed/completed. The Public Works Department advises that the location has been reviewed. The threshold traffic volume needed to consider the warrants for a traffic signal would not be satisfied.
  Further, a traffic signal is already in place one block to the east which the pedestrians can use to cross the street. Main and Elmwood has the pedestrian crossing signs and the state law stop for pedestrians in crosswalk signs. These are in good condition and visible. Thank you

Going wrong way on prairie during school pickup times Archived

2400 Prairie Ave Evanston, IL 60201, USA - Evanston

Drivers are once again ignoring street signage about no U turns on prairie during school drop off/ pickup hours. They brazenly turn into driveways/alleys to make 3- pt turns and go against the intended flow of one way traffic north. No less than 7 cars violated the signs and even forced cars going the right way to back up!!!! Please start enforcing the traffic signs or just pull them down.

Restricted Visibility Archived

2201 2359 W Howard St Chicago, IL 60645, USA - Evanston

There are large bushes on this corner that restrict the visibility of traffic on Howard Street for cars exiting the shopping center. The bushes should be removed from the corner.

Traffic Signal Needed Archived

N Sacramento Ave Evanston, IL 60202, USA - Evanston

It is extremely difficult to exit the Target parking lot onto Howard Street. I think a traffic study would likely find that a new signal is warranted at the intersection of Howard & Sacramento.

Ridiculous stop signs on Forest at Greenleaf and Hamilton Archived

1117 Forest Ave Evanston, IL 60202, USA - Evanston

Too many stop signs on Forest are compromising the use of the street as a through route, causing congestion, and generating more traffic on parallel routes. There is very little cross-traffic, auto or pedestrian, on Greenleaf or Forest. Stop signs are costing the public time and money in terms of delay, fuel waste, and increase emissions with almost no benefit for cross-streets. Remove the unwarranted stop signs.

  I totally disagree, Forest shouldn't be used as a main route. If you are travelling north or south either get over to Chicago or stay on Sheridan.

Stop signs at Custer and Brummel are a useless waste of time Archived

700 724 Brummel St Evanston, IL 60202, USA - Evanston

Brummel is one-way away from Custer on both sides, so cars can't enter this intersection. The only conflicts are with pedestrians, and there isn't enough pedestrian traffic to justify stopping Custer. Furthermore, it isn't even hard to cross Custer. Why cause everyone needless delay? Remove the stop signs.

Traffic Intersection View Obstruction Archived

Bushes on city property obstruct view of southbound Prospect traffic wanting to proceed from the stop sign at Colfax St. The E-W Colfax Traffic does not have a stop sign, which increases the risk of this obstructed view.

  Service Request number W016897-102711 has been completed/closed in the 311/GovQA system. The Public Works department advised "This intersection has been reviewed for stop signs in the past. The prevailing speed, volume, accident data do not meet the warrants as specified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. However, residents have been advised that they could consider the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program to request stop signs Lincolnwood. The program requires justification and strong majority support from the residents in the area for consideration and approval by the City Council."

Wrong way on prairie Archived

2407 Prairie Ave Evanston, IL 60201, USA - Evanston

Once again, cars making u turns and 3- point turns in front of haven school on prairie. Car almost head-on'ed me today while going WRONG WAY!!!! Traffic guards don't care. There was no traffic congestion, so there was no reason other than laziness, that would necessitate someone needing to upturn and go in wrong direction. THIS MUST STOP!!!!!!!!!!

  Until a serious or tragic accident happens... Then the Police department just might take an interest. In the meantime I guess we can all start going the wrong direction on one-way streets in Evanston. When this happens after school, people are in a hurry and not careful. (They probably realize they are breaking the law...) What does Haven and District 65 administration say about this? Ms. Roberson, please take this on before one of our kids gets hurt!!!

  Even though you say that police have been present, somehow they either are blind to the illegal traffic maneuvers or they really aren't present. The police are undermining their own authority if they continue to ignore these issues. People start to think they can get away with anything they want just because they feel like it. Police need to get serious about this, unless of course they are protecting the privilege of violating the law for their chosen friends.
  
  I am not happy about the double standard and intend to take my complaints to my alderman and the press. I have had enough of cars violating the law.

Traffic congestion at Main/Asbury East/West Traffic Archived

Main St /Asbury Ave Evanston, IL 60202, USA - Evanston

When cars traveling east/west on Main attempt to make a left turn, traffic behind them have no room to go around but to only wait until the car has completed its left turn which usually happens when the traffic light changes leaving the traffic to wait again for the next green light. Looking either for a left turn arrow or reconfiguring the intersection with a left turn bay.

  Service Request number W017948-111411 has been closed/completed. The Public Works Department advises," Main Street curb to curb width is limited and striping a left turn bay may cause operational problems for Asbury traffic turning onto Main street. Parking will need to restricted to stripe in the transition and the bay area. Adding a left turn arrow without the left turn bay will require a split phase (eastbound green/westbound red and vice-versa) and will cause more back-ups. To add the green arrow the signal system will have to be upgraded.
  
  The suggestion is good and will be considered for future improvements if feasible to do so taking into account the operational and parking issues."
