Agenda Item No.
September 22, 1995
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Richard B. Helwig, City Manager
SUBJECT: Neighborhood Services Committee (NSC)
Request for Traffic Signals at South McLean
Boulevard and College Green Drive
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and
the members of the City Council with information to consider
entering into an agreement with Crawford, Murphy & Tilly,
Inc. for the design, evaluation of price proposals, signal
inspection and start-up services for the installation of
temporary traffic signals at the intersection of South McLean
Boulevard and College Green Drive.
BACKGROUND
At their meeting on September 8, 1995 the Neighborhood
Services Committee considered a number of traffic control
related requests from the Village of College Green Homeowners
Association (letter attached) . One item considered was the
installation of a traffic control signal at the intersection
of South McLean Boulevard and College Green Drive.
Currently, the reconstruction and widening of McLean
Boulevard from Spartan Drive to Bowes Road is not programmed
in the 1995 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan. Although a
Decision Package for the widening work has been submitted by
Public Works for the 1996 Budget, even if the project is
approved, construction would not start until 1998. Permanent
traffic signals would be included as a component of the
McLean Boulevard roadway construction contract.
With permanent signals not expected to be installed and
functioning until late 1998, the Neighborhood Services
Committee considered and recommends the installation of
temporary traffic signals.
Traffic Signals at South McLean Boulevard/College Green Drive
September 21, 1995
Page 2
In order to complete the installation of temporary traffic
signals by December 1, 1995, engineering must be initiated by
October 1, 1995 and price proposals received from electrical
contractors and roadway contractors, as opposed to the normal
advertised bidding process . A fee proposal for the design
and engineering of the temporary signals was solicited from
Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc. A copy of their proposal and
engineering agreement is attached as Exhibit A. The
agreement will be in the amount not to exceed $9,620 .
It is anticipated that the temporary signals will cost about
$35,000 to install and that roadway widening work at the
intersection to create a narrow left-turn bay for northbound
traffic on McLean Boulevard may cost up to $25,000, for an
expected total construction cost of about $60,000 .
McLean Boulevard is a major north-south arterial roadway
carrying, in 1990, an average daily traffic volume of 20, 000
vehicles per day. The section of roadway between Spartan
Drive and Bowes Road is a two lane roadway, rated as an "F" ,
representing forced flow conditions (existing traffic related
to actual carrying capacity, exceeds a ratio of 1 . 3) . If
funded, the roadway can be widened to four lanes in 1998.
Permanent signals would be installed at the intersections of
Bowes Road and College Green Drive.
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
Village of College Green Homeowners Association have
requested the signals .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
It is recommended unprogrammed 1995 riverboat fund proceeds
be set aside for the funding of this project. A budget
adjustment will be necessary. Account number
275-0000-795. 93-80, Major Repairs/Public Way will be
charged. A project number will need to be established.
LEGAL IMPACT
None.

(16 RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council authorize the execution
of an agreement with Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc. , for the
design of the temporary traffic signals, and to authorize the
receipt of price proposals from at least three qualified
electrical contractors for the installation of the signals
and three qualified roadway contractors for the widening of
McLean Boulevard.

Mr. Richard B. Heiwig
City of Elgin
150 Dexter Court
Elgin, Illinois 60120-5555
Dear Mr. Helwig:
rThe Village of College Green Homeowners Association has voted to make the following requtss
to the City of Elgin regarding the streets in our neighborhood.
1. The installation of stop signs on east and westbound College Green Drive at Spy Glass Hill
Court/St. Andrews Circle.
2. The installation of stop signs on east and westbound College Green Drive at Indian Wells Cir-
cle.
3. The installation of stop signs on east and westbound College Green Drive at the west end of
Muirfield Circle.
4. The lowering of the speed limit on College Green Drive, Pebble Beach Circle and Muirfield
Circle from the current speed limit of 30 miles per hour to 20 miles per hour.
S. The posting of additional speed limit signs on College Green Drive, Pebble Beach Circle and
line I Circle.
6. The installation of a traffic control signal at the intersection of McLean Boulevard and College
Green Drive. Perhaps a type of traffic control signal with a demand mechanism could be installed.
rThere are several reasons for the requests for additional traffic controls on our streets.
1. Our subdivision does not have any sidewalks forcing residents to walk along the streets.
•
• .
r
•
2. That are several school bus stops along College Green Drive with no traffic control of any
kind. College Green subdivision has many children attending U-46 schools who must walk on the
streets to get to their school bus stop.
3. Traffic travels along these streets at much higher rates of speed than the posted speed limit.
4. The streets curve and cars parked along both sides of the streets cause restricted visibility of
pedestrians and/or other vehicles.
5. With the possible expansion of Spartan Drive, additional traffic control would discourage the
use of College Green Drive as a thru street between Randall Road and McLean Boulevard.
6. Shales Parkway and McLean Boulevard near Larkin Avenue are 4 lane streets with sidewalks
on both sides of the street with speed limits of 30 miles per hour. Why would streets such as Col-
lege Green Drive, Pebble Beach Circle and Muirfield Circle which are not 4 lane streets and do
not have sidewalks, have the same speed limit?
7. Turning northbound onto McLean Boulevard from College Green Drive continues to become
increasing more dangerous and difficuh. The growth to the south of our subdivision in Elgin and
South Elgin has placed additional traffic on McLean Boulevard. There is a tremendous need to be
able to make a protected turn onto northbound McLean Boulevard.
A map of our subdivision is enclosed indicating the areas where traffic controls are being re-
quested. Our Association would be happy to provide any further information requested or to an-
swer any further questions about our requests. You may contact me at 695-9857.
Thank you for your consideration of our requests and we look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, •
W1age of College Green Homeowners Association
