Board to seek traffic commission input before scheduling public hearing on new traffic commission rules
Summary
Staff proposed making the traffic commission operate more like a land‑use advisory body that solicits neighborhood input before forwarding recommendations to the Board of Trustees; trustees asked the traffic commission to review proposed language prior to a public hearing.
Staff presented a proposal to reframe the traffic commission’s role so it functions more like a land‑use advisory body: hold public sessions, solicit neighborhood input for parking and traffic changes, and forward recommendations to the board for code changes where required.
Steve said the change aims to ensure the village receives public input before decisions and to provide a formal record of neighborhood responses. Trustees supported the idea in principle but asked that the traffic commission review the proposed language and offer feedback before the board sets a public hearing.
Staff and trustees discussed mechanics for notice (petition radius and administrative support) and agreed staff could provide form notices or assist with mailings. The board did not take final action and directed that the traffic commission be given the proposed language and an opportunity to comment prior to any public hearing.
Next steps: staff to circulate proposed language to the traffic commission, gather its feedback, and return with a recommended hearing date and materials.
