The Village of Addison’s Public Health, Safety and Judicial Committee recommended creation of a no‑parking zone along the north side of Palmer Avenue and installation of new stop signs at multiple neighborhood intersections; the village board completed first reading of the traffic‑regulation ordinances on Oct. 6.

What was proposed: staff described parking on the north side of Palmer Avenue near Princeton Street as narrowing the travel lane and blocking sight lines on a curve; the proposal would create a no‑parking zone beginning 8 feet south of the centerline at Princeton Street and extending east about 240 feet. Staff said residents along the curve have driveways and alternate parking and that the village had received nine survey responses (6 in favor, 3 opposed) from 33 properties notified.

Stop signs: staff also presented a package to install stop signs at the northeast and southeast corners of Normandy Drive and Princeton Street, at the northeast corner of Forest View Avenue and Central Avenue, and at the northeast corner of White Pine Road and Central Avenue. The requests followed resident concerns about right‑of‑way confusion and reported crashes; staff said the additions mirror similar actions taken at prior meetings and that stop signs would be flag‑marked for visibility.

Safety rationale and community input: presenters cited two crashes at the Palmer curve and described reduced lane width when vehicles park there. For the Palmer Avenue proposal staff said they conducted a mailed survey to 33 properties and received nine responses with a majority in favor of signs. Committee members asked about alternate parking and the presence of driveways; staff confirmed access remained.

Board action and status: the committee recommended approval of the no‑parking ordinance and the stop‑sign ordinance; the village board recorded first reading of both ordinances on Oct. 6. Installation of signage and enforcement would follow final ordinance adoption and any permitting or procurement needed.

What’s next: after final readings and ordinance adoption, Public Works and the Police Department will install signage, communicate with affected residents, and begin enforcement.
