APPROVAL OF MINUTES APPROVAL OF FEBRUARY 11, 2026 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES AS CORRECTED Engineer Daubert noted that there was one correction to make to the meeting minutes. It was erroneously noted in the draft minutes that Commissioner Galey had both abstained and voted aye for the “MOTION TO RECOMMEND THE SELECTION OF KLOA FOR THE VILLAGE’S TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SPEEED LIMIT ADJUSTMENT STUDY WITH STAFF TO NEGOTIATE THE FINAL SCOPE AND FEE IN THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT NOT-TO- EXCEED $60,000.” The minutes will be corrected to reflect that Commissioner Galey solely abstained from this motion. MOTION TO APPROVE THE FEBRUARY 11, 2026 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES AS CORRECTED MOTION BY: Commissioner Galey SECOND BY: Commissioner Drapinski AYES: Baldin, Drapinski, Galey, MacDonald, Warnick, Ziegler, Zucchero RESULT: APPROVAL D. CURRENT BUSINESS 1. Glen Ellyn Metra Station and Multimodal Access Improvements Project – Engineering Agreement Amendment #4 Engineer Daubert provided an overview, noting that on December 10, 2025 the CIC conducted a cursory review of this matter, during which CDM Smith presented a request for $717,906 for additional work required to complete the project design. Staff did not support the requested amount and subsequently met with CDM Smith, recommending a reduced amendment of $312,459. CDM Smith agreed to the reduced cost. Daubert noted that, aside from potential land acquisition unknowns, no additional consultant fees are anticipated. The item was discussed with Commissioner Galey, and the amendment would be funded through the Capital Projects Fund on a not-to-exceed basis. Daubert then asked if the Commission had any questions and noted that a recommendation was requested so the item could be brought to the Village Board. Commissioner Galey commended staff for their negotiating efforts to reduce the cost. Commissioner McDonald motioned to recommend that the Glen Ellyn Village Board approve Amendment #4 to the Village’s agreement with CDM Smith for Phase II Engineering and Architectural Design Services for the Glen Ellyn Metra Station and Multimodal Access Improvements Project in the amount of $312,459, to be expensed to the Capital Projects Fund. Commissioner Baldin seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.

MOTION BY: Commissioner MacDonald SECOND BY: Commissioner Baldin AYES: Baldin, Drapinski, Galey, MacDonald, Warnick, Ziegler, Zucchero RESULT: APPROVAL 2. Cottage Avenue Sidewalk (Main Street to Forest Avenue) Engineer Warner provided a brief recap of the project, noting that the topic was reviewed at the last CIC Meeting. Warner noted as a follow up to the last meeting, staff has brought back and outline of the proposed tree preservation measures to minimize potential impacts to the oak tree, including cambistat treatments, air spade excavation, selective root pruning and the use of a structural soil base under the sidewalk. Engineer Daubert added that Village Forester Max Brown and tree protection consultant Dave Coulter walked the site and assessed the tree, determining it to be healthy. They indicated the proposed mitigation efforts were appropriate and additionally recommended mulching and watering. Engineer Warner also read an email received that day from a resident of 535 Cottage Avenue expressing strong support for closing the sidewalk gaps. Chairman Zuccharo stated the Commission does not take these decisions lightly and appreciates the feedback provided. He noted that he personally visited the site multiple times, both during the day and at night, and emphasized his support for sidewalks from a safety perspective. He also reminded attendees that the CIC is a volunteer commission whose role is to review items, seek input from staff and subject matter experts, and provide recommendations to the Village Board. He added that Trustee Simon represents the Village Board and participates in the discussion process. Trustee Simon added that commission members bring significant infrastructure experience and that she relies on their expertise. She noted that extensive deliberation occurs both at the commission and Village Board levels before decisions are made. Several residents and community members then provided feedback on the proposed project. Environmental Commission Chairperson Truitt thanked the engineering team and stated that the proposed plan reflects best practices. She shared that she consulted with several arborists who agreed that, while mitigation measures are appropriate, there is still potential for impact to the trees, including possible exposure to pathogens. She also noted that one of the trees that could be affected is located on private property and is not included in the proposed mitigation plan, though the project could still potentially weaken that tree. Page 5 of 401  Capital Improvement March 11, 2026 Meeting Minutes | 4 Several residents in attendance expressed opposition to the sidewalk construction, citing concerns about the potential loss or decline of the tree and the resulting impact on stormwater management. Other residents spoke in favor of the project, emphasizing improved safety for children walking to school and for pedestrians traveling to and from downtown. (See attached emails and statements.) Chairman Zucchero then asked the Capital Improvement Commission for comments. Commissioners Warnick and Drapinski noted that subject matter experts had evaluated the situation and emphasized that sidewalks improve safety, particularly for children, which they viewed as paramount. Commissioner McDonald stated the decision ultimately comes down to balancing the preservation of the tree with public safety, and he indicated he was leaning toward prioritizing safety. Commissioner Galey noted that the road was reconstructed in 2004 and that deeper cuts were made at that time, yet the trees survived. He expressed confidence that, with the mitigation measures being proposed, the trees would continue to survive and voiced support for the sidewalk. Commissioner Baldin acknowledged both the value of heritage trees and the benefits of the sidewalk. Chairman Zucchero stated the decision was not easy and emphasized the importance of considering the broader goals of connectivity and safety. He expressed appreciation for staff’s work and support for the proposed plan, adding that construction should occur during the appropriate season. He also noted that the sidewalk would connect downtown to Main Street and support the Village’s walkability goals. Commissioner Ziegler stated that, as an urban planner, she found the decision challenging and suggested a partial sidewalk as a potential alternative. After extensive discussion amongst the CIC, Chairman Zucchero motioned to recommend that the Village Board approve construction of a sidewalk on south Cottage Avenue from Main Street to Forest Avenue, as planned, including the tree protection and preservation measures specified in the March 11 agenda packet. Commissioner Warnick seconded the motion. The motion unanimously passed. MOTION TO RECOMMEND TO THE GLEN ELLYN VILLAGE BOARD THE CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF COTTAGE AVENUE FROM MAIN STREET TO FOREST AVENUE WITH THE TREE PRESERVATION MEASURES SPECIFIED IN THE MARCH 11 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS COMMISSION PACKET. MOTION BY: Commissioner Zucchero SECOND BY: Commissioner Warnick AYES: Baldin, Drapinski, Galey, MacDonald, Warnick, Ziegler, Zucchero RESULT: APPROVAL 3. Cottage Avenue Parking Lane (in front of First Presbyterian) Engineer Warner provided an overview of the project, noting that the Village received a request from First Presbyterian Church to consider a parking lane to help alleviate traffic concerns during school pick-up and drop-off times. The proposed lane was incorporated into the project plans so potential improvements and associated impacts could be discussed with adjacent residents. Page 6 of 401  Capital Improvement March 11, 2026 Meeting Minutes | 5 A public outreach meeting was held on December 11, where feedback included concerns about queuing and engine idling during school pick-up. Several residents at the CIC meeting also expressed opposition to the project, citing the potential loss of green space and trees, lights shining into nearby homes, reinforcement of engine idling, and concerns that parking on both sides of the street could increase congestion. Engineer Warner stated that staff is seeking a recommendation from the Capital Improvements Commission on whether the Village should proceed with installing a parking lane on the south side of Cottage Avenue, just west of Main Street, in front of First Presbyterian Church. This block of Cottage Avenue is scheduled for reconstruction as part of the Village’s 2026 Utility and Roadway Improvements Project. The CIC weighed in on the project. Commissioner Baldin stated that the street is narrow and that adding a third lane of traffic would not be supported. Commissioner Galey noted that nearby residents do not appear to have issues and indicated he was not in favor of the proposal. Commissioner Ziegler commented that the improvement could encourage undesirable behavior and would not address the underlying issue. Commissioner Drapinski stated that the turning radius for the entrance into the Church Parking Lot is tight and suggested exploring alternative options. Commissioner Warnick added that residents have expressed opposition and indicated he was not in favor of the project. E. TRUSTEE’S REPORT – Trustee Simon noted that numerous Capital Improvement funding items were recently approved by the Village Board including the speed limit adjustment study. She thanked the CIC for their work on these items. Trustee Simon noted that there are ongoing challenges with e- bikes along with pending new State legislation on e-bike regulations. F. OTHER BUSINESS – None G. PUBLIC WORKS REPORT – Public Works Director Hubsky provided an update, noting that the Village was selected to be featured in an upcoming APWA article. The piece will highlight several of the Village’s recent initiatives to improve snow operations and is expected to be published within the next one to two months. H. PROJECT REPORT – Engineer Daubert shared the report with the CIC and invited commissioners to reach out with any questions. I. ADJOURNMENT – Commissioner MacDonald motioned and Commissioner Warnick seconded to adjourn the meeting. The motion was unanimously approved, and meeting adjourned at 10:08 p.m. Submitted by Elisa Pollina, Recording Secretary Reviewed by Richard Daubert, Professional Engineer Page 7 of 401  Glen Ellyn Capital Improvements Meeting 5/13/2026 7:00 PM Commission Department: Public Works - 535 Duane Street Engineering Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 Department Head: Category: Commission Recommendation Prepared By: AGENDA ITEM (ID # 2026-368) DOC ID: 2026-368 Village of Glen Ellyn ADA Transition Plan Statement of the Issue: Since November of 2024, the Village has been working with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and its consultant Oates Associates, on the development of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan for applicable public right-of-way infrastructure throughout the Village. After substantial public outreach, the planning process has now concluded and the development of a formal ADA Transition Plan for public right-of-way is complete. Oates Associates will be providing a presentation of the plan at the Capital Improvements Commission meeting. With time for any questions and discussion to follow. Staff is requesting the Capital Improvements Commission make a recommendation to the Village Board that the plan be adopted. Analysis: Federal ADA regulations require that all local governments with 50 or more employees develop an ADA Transition Plan for achieving compliance with the ADA regulations for accessibility. The Village applied for, and was one of 30 communities out of a pool of 122 applicants, that was awarded a grant of technical assistance from CMAP for the preparation of the public right-of-way component of the required transition plan. A Resolution approving a Memorandum of Understanding between the Village and CMAP for the technical assistance was approved by the Village Board at its October 28, 2024 Board meeting. The planning effort was launched that November. Public Outreach The planning process included substantial involvement with the public, including: • Public Kickoff Meeting and Public Open House • Project website with map tool for comments • Community survey • Five project steering committee meetings • In-person interviews with key stakeholders and interested parties • Formal 30-day Public comment period on the draft plan Village Document Review As part of the planning process, the project team evaluated Village documents associated with services provided by the Public Works Department to determine whether any modifications were Page 8 of 401 necessary to improve ADA compliance for employees, citizens, and visitors to Glen Ellyn. This review included the Village Code, as well as the Village’s current ADA Notice and Grievance Procedure among other documents. Recommendations are captured in a memorandum included as Exhibit 3 in the ADA Transition Plan. Pedestrian Facilities and On-Street Parking Assessment The most substantial element of the planning process consisted of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) surveying and analysis of every sidewalk square and curb ramp within the Village to identify existing deficiencies that represent barriers to accessibility. Pedestrian signals and on-street accessible parking were also evaluated. Two parallel scoring systems were then employed to help identify which public infrastructure might represent the greater obstacle to overall accessibility, and therefore warrant higher priority as various infrastructure project flexibility allows. • Accessibility Score – Evaluated the sidewalk segments and curb ramps by the extent of physical barriers (e.g. width, cross slope, vertical displacement, and deterioration). • Activity Score – Evaluated the sidewalk segments by the likelihood of significant pedestrian traffic, based upon proximity to various pedestrian activity generators (e.g. schools, parks, transit stops, commercial, etc.). Staff was heavily involved in the fine-tuning of the scoring system, as relevant to staff’s perspectives on what particular barriers might carry more weight in Glen Ellyn. Tables and charts summarizing the deficiencies identified through the assessment are included as Exhibit 4 in the ADA Transition Plan. Prioritization maps based upon the Accessibility and Activity scoring are included as Exhibit 6 of the ADA Transition Plan. Recommendations The plan includes an estimate of approximately $25 million in costs to address all the deficiencies identified through the pedestrian facilities assessment, with a suggested time-frame of 25 years for addressing the bulk of the deficiencies. While the numbers are daunting, the 25-year time frame is a reasonable target based upon the Village’s recent levels of annual investment in addressing sidewalk deficiencies through its existing capital improvement programs. These various programs are listed and described in Section 8.2 of the final plan and include the annual roadway improvement program and the annual sidewalk repair and maintenance programs among others. In addition to continuing the Village’s existing infrastructure programs and pursuing grants to further advance sidewalk initiatives, the Transition Plan includes various related recommendations as listed in Section 9.1. Examples of these include the targeted updates of the Village Code, an initiative to remove vegetation obstructions of sidewalks, and examination of best practices related to sidewalk snow clearing policies. The underlying aim of all the recommendations in this federally required plan is continuous improvement in accessibility throughout the Village. Page 9 of 401 Budget Impact: In the near term, primary implementation of the ADA Transition Plan will be through the Village’s existing capital improvement programs as funded through the Capital Projects Fund. These programs include the annual Roadway Improvement Program, Sidewalk Repair Program and Horizontal Saw Cutting Program. In recent years, these programs have included an annual average of nearly a million dollars in pedestrian infrastructure related improvements, which puts the Village on pace to meet the Plan’s proposed 25-year timeline. However, as indicated in the Plan, these programs are the subject of the annual fiscal budget development process. Per the Plan, the Village of Glen Ellyn reserves the right to modify priorities to allow flexibility in accommodating community requests, petitions for reasonable modifications from people with disabilities, changes in Village programs, ongoing evaluation and funding constraints and opportunities. Contribution to Strategic Plan Action Requested: Staff requests the CIC make a motion to recommend to the Glen Ellyn Village Board the adoption of the ADA Transition Plan for Public Right-of-Way.

PROW is considered land that is dedicated for public use and managed by local government. The ADA mandates that all public agencies with more than fifty (50) employees complete a transition plan. The scope of this document is limited to PROW and does not generally include Village owned buildings or parking lots. This is Glen Ellyn’s first Transition Plan and documents the Village’s evaluation of its pedestrian facilities and other infrastructure within public right-of-way and outlines long-range strategies to make these facilities accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. The Plan includes an assessment of the Village’s administrative documents as they relate to accessible facilities in the public right-of-way. During the Plan’s development, the public was invited to share comments about the accessibility challenges they face, see Chapter 3. Administrative Documents Review As part of the ADA Transition Plan effort, there was a review of key administrative requirements that apply to the Village. In coordination with the project consultant, the Village updated its Notice to the Public, Exhibit 1, which outlines individuals’ rights under the ADA for all programs and services offered by the Village. The Village also updated its formal grievance procedure, Exhibit 2, which provides a mechanism for individuals to report discrimination and allows the Village to document complaints and issue responses. The Village has designated the Communications Coordinator as the ADA Coordinator, who partners with other Village departments and staff to ensure that the ADA needs of the public are met. Since this ADA Transition Plan is focused on public rights-of-way, the Public Works Department will be the lead in implementation and monitoring of the plan, in coordination with the ADA Coordinator. In addition to reviewing the above required documents and ADA Coordinator role, the plan effort included review of the Village’s design standards and prepared documents to assess their level of ADA compliance. A brief synopsis of the results of this evaluation and the proposed changes is discussed further in Chapter 5 and Exhibit 3 including the recommendations to increase accessibility. Pedestrian Facilities Assessment The self-evaluation of pedestrian facilities within public right-of-way included the inventory and assessment of all Village sidewalks, curb ramps, and pedestrian traffic signals. The self-evaluation began with assessments of the public right-of-way pedestrian infrastructure within the Village. This field review was conducted through a combination of lidar data Page 17 of 401 collection and algorithmic analysis of every sidewalk square and curb ramp within the Village. The lidar data collection was supplemented with manual inspection and logging of particular defects for the sidewalks, curb ramps, and pedestrian traffic signals. The data collected related to various defects and deficiencies as identified through ADA guidance as obstacles to access. Appendix B.2 provides details on the data collected for each type of infrastructure. Physical Condition Categorization The next step in the self-evaluation was compiling the collected data, to allow for calculation of an Accessibility Score for each facility. The accessibility score relates to the overall physical condition of the facility, as a synthesis of the various individual deficiencies, and results in a facility categorization of major barriers, moderate barriers, minor barriers, or significantly compliant. In the case of sidewalks, this categorization was performed on a segment-by- segment basis, rather than a square-by-square basis. Chapter 6 and Appendix B.3 provide more detail on the calculation of the accessibility score and physical condition categorization. Tables summarizing the general findings of the categorization are below. SIDEWALK - OVERALL CONDITION Major Moderate Significantly Unit Barriers Barriers Minor Barriers Compliant Total # of Segments 209 430 1,212 991 2,842 % of Segments 7.4% 15.1% 42.6% 34.9% 100.0% # of Miles 11.9 25.2 74.8 58.1 170.0 % of Miles 7.0% 14.8% 44.0% 34.2% 100.0% Table 1: Summary of Sidewalk Segments CURB RAMPS - OVERALL CONDITION Missing Curb Major Moderate Significantly Ramp Barriers Barriers Minor Barriers Compliant Total 13 155 589 463 632 1,852 0.7% 8.4% 31.8% 25.0% 34.1% 100.0% Table 2: Summary of Curb Ramps Page 18 of 401  PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS - OVERALL CONDITION Barriers to Access (by quadrant) No Major Pedestrian Barriers Moderate Minor Signal Obstruction to Barriers Barriers to Significantly Ownership Present Present Access to Access Access Compliant Village 0 0 5 9 8 1 Illinois Department of Transportation 1 5 13 9 7 1 DuPage County 0 0 11 13 2 0 College of DuPage 0 0 0 2 0 0 Total Quadrants 1 5 29 33 17 2 % of Total 1.1% 5.7% 33.3% 37.9% 19.5% 2.3% PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS - TOTALS Number of Quadrants with Intersections Ownership Ped Signals (with ped signals) Village 23 6 Illinois Department of Transportation 36 10 DuPage County 26 7 College of DuPage 2 1 Totals 87 24 Table 3: Summary of Pedestrian Traffic Signals Activity Categorization The final step in the pedestrian facilities self-evaluation was calculating an Activity Score for each roadway segment. The Activity score was based upon a Village-wide map identifying locations that have the highest likelihood of significant pedestrian traffic (e.g., schools, parks, transit stops, commercial, etc.). Points were awarded to each sidewalk segment based upon proximity to the various pedestrian activity generators, resulting in a categorization of each sidewalk segment based upon the likelihood of high pedestrian traffic. Chapter 6 and Appendix B.6 provide more details on the methodology behind the activity scoring and categorization. The intent is for data from both the physical condition categorization and the activity categorization to help identify those barriers that have the greatest impact on pedestrians. This will in turn assist the Village with prioritizing future improvement that have the greatest benefit to accessibility. Appendix B.7 includes mapping of the Activity Score categorization and Page 19 of 401 Appendix B.5 includes mapping of the barriers to access for a specific element of the sidewalk segment or curb ramp that brings the facility out of compliance. On-Street Parking Assessment ADA requires accessible parking spaces to be provided wherever on-street parking is metered or marked by signage or striping. The number of required accessible parking spaces is determined based upon block perimeters. The project team reviewed the Village and identified twenty-four (24) unique block perimeters for evaluation. Of these, eleven (11) block perimeters did not provide the minimum required ADA spaces. These locations were primarily smaller sections of signed on-street parking outside of downtown. Chapter 7 and Appendix B.8 provide more detail on the parking assessment. Recommendations Chapter 9 of this Plan outlines recommendations and potential challenges for the Village in implementing this plan toward the ultimate goal of full accessibility. Using the physical condition categorization and activity categorization, along with public input, the Village can prioritize projects that offer the greatest benefit to the community. By listing these priorities in the Plan, the Village establishes a clear vision for expanding its transportation network and improving infrastructure. These projects serve as a blueprint for community development, encouraging local leaders to actively participate in implementation and providing an actionable roadmap for next steps. Page 20 of 401 1.0 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS The Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan for Public Right-of-Way, (referred to as “the Plan”) documents the Village’s pedestrian facilities and develops objectives for making those facilities accessible for all people including those with disabilities. The Plan focuses on sidewalks, curb ramps, pedestrian signals, and parking spaces located within public right-of- way. Public right-of-way is typically land dedicated for transportation and utility purposes and does not generally include buildings. The Village prepared the Plan in accordance with the ADA, which requires all public agencies with more than fifty (50) employees to complete a transition plan. 1.1 AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990, as a comprehensive civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. The ADA consists of five titles, each addressing specific areas of public life (summarized below). All five titles are applicable to the Village of Glen Ellyn due to its size, with more than fifty (50) employees. However, this current Plan focuses specifically on Title II, which applies to public entities and governs programs, services, and activities that affect public right-of-way. Title II requires state and local governments to ensure that all services and infrastructure, including pedestrian facilities, are accessible to individuals with disabilities. • Title I – Employment: This title aims to eliminate barriers that prevent individuals with qualified disabilities from accessing the same employment opportunities and benefits as those without disabilities. Employers must provide reasonable accommodation to qualified applicants or employees with disabilities, unless doing so would cause undue hardship. This title prohibits discrimination in all aspects of employment, including hiring, promotion, compensation, training, and termination. •Title II - Public Services: This title prohibits public entities from discriminating against individuals based on disability. It requires state and local governments to provide equal access to all programs, services, and activities they offer. The Village of Glen Ellyn must ensure that its infrastructure and operations, including those affecting public right-of-way, are accessible to individuals with disabilities. • Title III - Public Accommodations: This title prohibits private entities from discriminating against individuals with disabilities in places of public accommodation. These entities must ensure that their facilities are accessible and provide equal access to goods, services, and activities. Examples of places of public accommodation include hotels, restaurants, theaters, retail stores, golf courses, and other commercial establishments. Page | 1 Page 21 of 401  • Title IV – Telecommunications: This title requires telephone companies to establish interstate and intrastate telephone relay services in every state. These services enable individuals with hearing or speech disabilities to communicate over the telephone using text telephones (TTYs) or other assistive technologies. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) oversees the implementation of these relay services to ensure equal access to telecommunications. • Title V - Miscellaneous Provisions: This title includes a variety of provisions that support and clarify the law’s implementation. It addresses the ADA’s relationship with other federal and state laws, outlines how the ADA affects insurance coverage and benefits, and includes provisions related to retaliation and attorney’s fees. This title ensures that the ADA works in harmony with existing legal frameworks and protects individuals who assert their rights under the Act. 1.2 DEFINITIONS IN TITLE II OF THE ADA Title II of the ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability by public entities, which include any state or local government. It requires these entities to ensure that no person is excluded from participating in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any program, service, or activity they provide. The Village of Glen Ellyn must comply with these requirements, as sidewalks and curb ramps are considered part of a “program” under Title II. Therefore, the Village must ensure that these facilities meet ADA accessibility standards. According to Section 12102 of Chapter 126 of Title 42 of the United States Code (ADA of 1990), the term “disability” refers to: (a) A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. (b) A record of such an impairment; or (c) Being regarded as having such an impairment. The ADA does not list every covered impairment but provides detailed guidance on which conditions qualify or are excluded. For example, a transitory impairment, one with an actual or expected duration of six months or less, is excluded from the definition of disability. 1.3 ADA REQUIREMENTS OF THE VILLAGE The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) outlines specific actions that the Village of Glen Ellyn, and any public entity, must take to achieve compliance. The project team used the NCHRP 20-7 (232), ADA Transition Plans: A Guide to Best Management Practices as a reference when developing this public right-of-way Plan. This guide outlines the following key steps: • Inventory existing sidewalk conditions. • Develop a grievance procedure. • Provide public notice about ADA requirements. • Appoint an ADA Coordinator to oversee Title II compliance. Page | 2 Page 22 of 401  • Create a transition plan if structural changes are necessary to ensure program accessibility. • Maintain all grievances and ADA compliance checklists for at least three years. The Plan outlines the steps and actions the team will take to comply with the requirements for ADA compliance. Administrative Requirements The Village is responsible for ensuring inclusive access to all properties, services, and programs it offers. In addition to public right-of-way facilities covered by this Plan, the Village also owns several buildings and maintains a website that supports various departmental programs and services, both of which are subject to ADA compliance regulations but are outside of the scope of this Plan. The Village must publicly communicate residents’ rights regarding access to these properties, services, and programs. It must also establish a process for the public to submit complaints about ADA accessibility. Although achieving full compliance across all buildings and facilities will take time, the Village remains responsible for modifying existing programs to accommodate all users. Sidewalk, Curb Ramp & Pedestrian Signals Inventory Requirements The sidewalks, curb ramps and pedestrian signals inventory must be available for inspection online through the Village website as well as at the Village Hall and also be available in alternative format (e.g., flash drive, large print, Braille) by request. This inventory identifies physical barriers in public right-of-way under the jurisdiction of the Village. This inventory will serve as a guide to help schedule repairs that have a higher priority and greater impact on the public. See Appendix B for the respective inventories. 2.0 STEPS TO A COMPLIANT TRANSITION PLAN The Village of Glen Ellyn must take steps called out in Title II (Public Services) of the ADA to achieve ADA compliance. Steps include appointing an ADA Coordinator to oversee Title II compliance, providing public notice about ADA requirements, developing a grievance procedure, developing internal standards and specifications, assigning personnel for development of the plan and collect data, approve a schedule and budget for the plan, and monitor the implementation of the plan creating a transition plan to ensure accessibility for all. Those steps are detailed below. 2.1 DESIGNATING AN ADA COORDINATOR The Village has appointed the Communications Coordinator as the ADA Title II Coordinator, serving as the primary point of contact for all ADA accessibility issues within the Village of Glen Ellyn. This individual oversees the requirements outlined in the ADA public notice and the Page | 3 Page 23 of 401 grievance procedure. The ADA Title II Coordinator answers questions from both the public and Village employees regarding accommodation for individuals with disabilities and Title II of the ADA. The ADA Coordinator partners with other Village departments and staff to ensure that the ADA needs of the public are met. All written requests can be sent to the address below. The most current phone and email contact information for the ADA Coordinator is available from the Village ADA webpage at: www.glenellyn.org/812/Americans-with-Disabilities-Act or by calling the Village’s general phone number at 630-469-5000 and asking for the ADA Coordinator. Attn: ADA Coordinator Village of Glen Ellyn 535 Duane Street Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 2.2 NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT ADA REQUIREMENTS People with disabilities and the outreach groups that represent them in the public participation process were actively included in the development of the Plan. Because these groups are especially sensitive to pedestrian travel, they raised specific concerns that often differ from those of the general population. The Village also engaged officials and members of the public in the process. See Chapter 3 for documentation of the Village’s public outreach effort. The Village developed a public notice about ADA requirements, which should be posted in all Village buildings and on the Village website. Exhibit 1 contains a copy of this notice. 2.3 DEVELOPING A GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE The ADA Coordinator ensures the Village follows the grievance procedure and keeps records for at least three years. The Village previously developed a grievance procedure. The team reviewed the previously established grievance procedure and determined it met ADA requirements. Exhibit 2 provides a copy of the grievance procedure and form. As per regulatory requirements and the language included in the Village’s grievance procedure, all grievances and ADA compliance checklists should be retained for at least three years. The Village also maintains a SeeClickFix reporting tool that offers the ability for residents to report a variety of non-emergency requests including sidewalk concerns (SeeClickFix Reporting Tool | Glen Ellyn, IL). Residents can submit requests through links available on the Village website, or directly via the SeeClickFix website or mobile app. Concerns received through SeeClickFix are logged within the SeeClickFix system. While technically grievances do not require the additional step of transferring all data to the grievance form, appeals, Page | 4 Page 24 of 401 communication, and other coordination should be handled based on the grievance procedure established in Exhibit 2. 2.4 DEVELOPING INTERNAL DESIGN STANDARDS, SPECIFICATIONS & DETAILS The Village establishes standards for sidewalk construction in Title 8 (Public Ways and Property), Chapter 1 (Streets and Sidewalks) of the Code of Ordinances of the Village of Glen Ellyn, Illinois. The project team reviewed the codes, and it is recommended to add references to the relevant ADA statutes, codes, guidelines, and standards as detailed in Chapter 4 of this plan. The Village also needs to adhere to design standards established by the state and the county that lie within the Village boundaries. 2.5 ASSIGNING PERSONNEL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) contracted with Oates Associates (Oates) to inventory Glen Ellyn’s existing facilities, including sidewalks and curb ramps within Village right- of-way, identify ADA deficiencies, and develop procedures for implementing and scheduling work to create an ADA-compliant program. Oates completed the inventory for sidewalks and curb ramps using the DeepWalk system which involves walking and collecting scans of every sidewalk in the Village using lidar technology available in certain models of the iPhone. The lidar data is processed to identify deficiencies (including cracking, rough surface, vertical deflection, excessive cross-slope, excessive running slope, width, and horizontal obstructions) on a square-by-square basis. The data is stored in a Geographic Information System (GIS) database which allows for review and analysis of the identified deficiencies. The Village will integrate this GIS database into its existing GIS system and periodically update it as improvements are made throughout the Village. 2.6 APPROVING A SCHEDULE AND BUDGET FOR THE PLAN By adopting this Plan, the Village will create an implementation procedure to identify the most critical sidewalk sections and curb ramp locations. Although the Plan prioritizes pedestrian facility improvements throughout the Village, the Village will logically group projects to improve construction efficiency and reduce costs. If the Village identifies projects eligible for federal or state funding, it will pursue those projects regardless of their prioritization rank. The implementation procedure helps the Village identify specific sidewalk and ramp projects that it can incorporate into other transportation improvement efforts. Chapters 8 and 9 address the schedule, priorities, and budget for the improvements identified in this plan. Page | 5 Page 25 of 401 2.7 MONITORING PROGRESS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN The Village will be responsible for monitoring the progress of the Plan and updating it as projects are completed and as ADA requirements change. Since this Plan is focused on public rights-of-way, the Director of Public Works and their designees within Public Works will be responsible for the implementation and monitoring of the plan, in coordination with the ADA Coordinator. Chapter 9 provides additional information on how the Village will monitor the Plan’s progress. 3.0 PUBLIC OUTREACH DURING PLAN DEVELOPMENT The ADA requires public entities to make information about the formation of the Plan available to all applicants, participants, residents, and other interested parties. The Village aimed to actively seek input from all interested parties, including individuals with disabilities and the organizations that represent them. The project team offered various opportunities and methods to engage the public. They established a project website (The Village of Glen Ellyn Accessible Communities Plan | Engage with CMAP), advertised events on the Village’s website and social media platforms, and displayed flyers in prominent local gathering areas around Glen Ellyn. The team also sent invitations to representatives of the disability community, school districts, and parks and recreation centers, encouraging them to involve their constituents in the process. The team reached out to as many residents as possible to ensure everyone felt heard and demonstrated its commitment to improving infrastructure in the public right-of-way. The outreach included: • Public Kickoff Meeting and Public Open House • Project website with map tool for comments • Community survey • Five project steering committee meetings (offered in person and virtually) • In-person interviews with key stakeholders and interested parties (offered in person and virtually) • Public review and comment A summary map of public comments that were received during the public outreach process can be found in Exhibit 6A. All comments that referenced a specific location were included on the map regardless of the impact on accessibility, including the possibility that the comment in question may not be an accessibility issue. 3.1 PUBLIC MEETINGS A project kick-off public meeting was held on February 25, 2025, at Glen Ellyn Village Hall from 6-8 pm. Village staff, CMAP, and Oates introduced the concept of the ADA Plan and explained why the Village was pursuing it. They offered attendees opportunities to provide feedback in person and through comment forms. The project team provided maps of the Village so Page | 6 Page 26 of 401 attendees could identify specific locations where they experienced challenges. Six residents attended the meeting. A Fire Station Open House was held in downtown Glen Ellyn on October 4, 2025, and the project team was there to promote the ADA Transition Plan. The annual event is very popular with families and many people stopped by the table and learned about the ADA Transition Plan effort. The team handed out postcards with QR codes that took them to the project website and the survey. Fact sheets and comment forms were also on hand for anyone to take with them. Appendix A.1 includes copies of the documents provided at the public meeting and the Fire Station Open House. 3.2 PROJECT WEBSITE A project website was developed to educate the public about the goals of the ADA Transition Plan, to provide updates through the course of the planning process, and to provide the public with another opportunity to offer feedback on barriers to access. The project website is located at, The Village of Glen Ellyn Accessible Communities Plan | Engage with CMAP. The website offered a virtual tool that allowed interested parties to “Tell Us Where Your Challenges Are.” The tool included a map of the Village of Glen Ellyn and users could select the applicable barriers to access; missing sidewalk, missing curb ramp, no pedestrian crossing provided, inaccessible sidewalk-obstruction, inaccessible sidewalk-vertical separation and others. Users could provide a description of the challenge and provide pictures if available. A total of 32 unique locations were identified by the public through the website, and these locations were mapped on Exhibit 6A and listed in Appendix A.6. These locations were also provided to Village staff for their review and use. 3.3 COMMUNITY SURVEY The project team developed and actively distributed a community survey which proved to be a highly effective tool for gathering input. The Village launched the survey on the Village of Glen Ellyn’s homepage in March 2025 and closed it in November 2025. The Village promoted the survey through its e-newsletter, distributed flyers around town, asked community partners to share it, and provided hard copies at Village Hall, the library, and Park District headquarters. The survey presented several scenarios where faulty sidewalk components, such as trip hazards, steep slopes, or missing segments, could create barriers for pedestrians, and asked respondents to identify specific problem locations around the Village. A total of 148 people completed the survey, providing vital information that helped the project team determine where the Village should focus its efforts. Page | 7 Page 27 of 401 Of the 148 people who completed the survey, all but one use the sidewalks in Glen Ellyn in some capacity and 68% use them on a daily basis. The top three reasons people used the sidewalk were: • for exercise/health/pleasure • to access entertainment, goods, or services • travel to school/church/public facilities Of the people who completed the survey, 91% lived in Glen Ellyn, 70% were between the ages of 36-65 years old, and 42% either had a disability or cared for someone with a disability. Nineteen percent (19%) of those with a disability needed assistance to navigate the Village. These respondents most commonly used the following devices: • walkers/canes • rolling walkers • wheelchairs • electric scooters Residents walk in various areas throughout the Village. The most common places include: • Downtown • Library • Parks • Schools • Post office • In their neighborhood • Trails • Bus stops • Roosevelt Road Downtown This Photo by GlenisEllyn Unknown Author licensed under CC BY The survey asked residents about the challenges they face when getting around the Village. When asked whether certain places were inaccessible, leaving people to walk in the street, respondents mentioned the following locations: • Baker Hill Drive • Glenbard Road – between Sunnybrook • Bloomingdale Road Road and Jonathan Court • Buena Vista Drive • IL 53 • Butterfield Road • Main Street • Crescent Boulevard • Roosevelt Road • Duane Street • Roslyn Road • Geneva Road Respondents mainly cited the following reasons: • Cars in driveways blocking sidewalk • New construction blocking access to • Tree/bush encroachment sidewalks • Snow/ice • Poor condition of sidewalks • Missing sidewalks • No curb ramps Page | 8 Page 28 of 401 The survey asked participants to rank specific examples of obstacles affecting walking, wheeling, and ramp use from most to least important. Respondents identified trip hazards and poor surface conditions as the biggest challenges for walking and wheeling. For ramp use, they most frequently cited standing water, debris, and the lack of curb ramps as major barriers to access. Walking/wheeling around: Ramp difficulties: Figure 1: Difficulty of obstacles by rank The Community Survey is included in Appendix A.2. 3.4 FORMATION AND ROLE OF STEERING COMMITTEE Community members know firsthand where challenges exist in their neighborhoods. The project team invited residents to join the committee through its website, at the public meeting, during the survey launch, and by reaching out to schools, advocacy groups, and personal contacts for recommendations. Over a six-month period, the project team held five committee meetings, with 5 to 7 members attending each. Although no individuals with disabilities joined the committee, many advocates and caregivers participated. The project team presented agendas to guide the investigation process. Residents worked together to share their knowledge and experiences, which played a key role in identifying issues within Glen Ellyn’s sidewalk network. Shops in Glen Ellyn Appendix A.3 includes minutes to each of those meetings. Page | 9 Page 29 of 401 3.5 INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS The project team met with fourteen residents who expressed interest in sharing their experiences traveling around the Village. Each meeting lasted between 30 minutes and one hour. The team offered participants the option to meet virtually or in person, depending on their availability and preferences. Attendees represented a range of community organizations, geographic areas within the Village, and members of the disability community. These discussions allowed the project team to explore individual experiences in depth and better understand the challenges and opportunities residents encounter. To encourage honest dialogue, the team kept these meetings anonymous. Through these conversations, the team gained valuable insight into the daily struggles faced by individuals with disabilities and their caregivers while navigating Glen Ellyn’s sidewalk network. Common themes from the interviews included: • Lack of sidewalk access during construction • Cars blocking sidewalks when parked in their driveways • Garbage containers blocking sidewalk • Not enough accessible parking downtown • Lack of access to the forest preserve and other parks around the Village • Lack of sidewalk in newer subdivisions Residents frequently mentioned the difficulty of crossing Roosevelt Road, and IL 53. And some other location specific concerns were: • Intersection of N Ellyn Avenue and Crescent Boulevard - feels unsafe • Prairie Path at Main Street - the railroad track leg does not have a stop sign and drivers are not mindful that the pedestrians have the right of way. Several participants also highlighted the lack of enforcement for the use of e-bicycles. Users, who are typically middle school aged kids, do not obey the rules of the road, and with the speed that e-bicycles can generate, residents feel they are dangerous. A summary of the individual interviews can be found in Appendix A.4. 3.6 PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT PERIOD The ADA requires public entities to make the Plan available for public review during a citizen review period. The Plan was made available for public review and comment from March 4 th to April 10th on the project website, The Village of Glen Ellyn Accessible Communities Plan | Engage with CMAP. The Village provided links to the Plan, posted on social media, and a community meeting was held on March 18th to allow interested parties to provide in-person comments to the project team and Village staff. Although the public comment period has ended, any resident or visitor who wishes to provide feedback on pedestrian accessibility in the Village can contact the ADA Coordinator or the Public Works Department at any time. Page | 10 Page 30 of 401 A total of 8 comments were received. Response to the comments can be found in Appendix A.5. 4.0 ADA DESIGN STANDARDS The project team developed this Plan using the following statutes, codes, guidelines, and standards. If new statutes, codes, or standards become applicable after the Plan’s adoption, the Village should plan to incorporate them—provided they are more restrictive or exceed existing standards. (a) The U.S. Access Board published the Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (PROWAG) on August 8, 2023. These guidelines now serve as the federal standards for accessibility compliance in public right-of- way, and the project team used them as the guiding federal standards for this Plan. (b) The Illinois Department of Transportation issued Revision 228 - Complete Highway Standards, effective January 1, 2025. These standard plans reflect the most current state standards, which the project team incorporated into the Plan. (c) The project team referenced The Illinois Department of Transportation Bureau of Local Roads and Streets Manual, latest edition. (d) The project team referenced the Municipal Code – Village of Glen Ellyn, Code of Ordinances, current through Ordinance 1247, passed on March 11, 2025. (e) The project team referenced the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. (f) The project team referenced the most current version of the Illinois Accessibility Code. The ADA Codes and Standards outlined in this section apply to all construction within Village right-of-way. This includes all new construction—both private and public—as well as any construction conducted under the Plan. In addition to the above standards, see Appendix B.1 for definitions used throughout the Plan. 5.0 ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS 5.1 VILLAGE DOCUMENTS The project team evaluated Village documents associated with services provided by the Public Works Department to determine whether any modifications were necessary to improve ADA compliance for employees, citizens, and visitors to Glen Ellyn. Exhibit 3 details the findings and recommendations, which include the following. Note that the Notice and Grievance Procedure recommendations are already in place: Page | 11 Page 31 of 401  • Posting the Notice Under the Americans with Disabilities Act at all public buildings and on the Village website • Posting the Grievance Procedure on the Village’s website and also making it available upon request. • Adding accessibility language to various documents such as permits and public meeting agendas • Providing Village documents in alternative formats as requested by the user. The appropriate format will be based on conversations with the user, and which format works best for the user. For example, for someone who is low vision reasonable accommodation may be: o Village staff completes the document with the user. o Providing the document in a pdf format that can be used by the user with a screen reader or other technology. o Providing the document in large print. o Providing the document in braille. The Illinois Department of Human Services maintains a resource list of suppliers who offer transcription services for the blind, IDHS: Resources of Transcription Services. • Revising the Village Code to use updated accessibility language and reference accepted standards 5.2 ALTERATIONS AND UNDUE BURDEN The Village should ensure that all staff are prepared to fully accommodate individuals with disabilities and provide the services needed. The Village should also provide all employees with reminders about the ADA requirements and any information on changes to ADA law. The Village shall implement alterations to programs and services, provided those changes do not cause an undue burden. An undue burden is generally defined as an action requiring significant difficulty or expense. For example, relocating a program to a handicap-accessible meeting room qualifies as a feasible alteration. If the Village determines that an alteration is necessary, it is not required to proceed if the change would fundamentally alter the program, create a hazardous condition, or impose an undue burden. 6.0 PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES ASSESSMENT 6.1 INVENTORY METHODOLOGY Self-inventory of pedestrian facilities is one of the requirements for any public entity according to the ADA. The Village has created a comprehensive GIS database from the inventory information gathered as part of the development of this plan and the data will be used by the Village staff for future endeavors. All pedestrian facilities located on Village-owned public right- of-way were inventoried. The project team collected data on sidewalks, curb ramps, and pedestrian signals using the DeepWalk system which involves walking every block of pedestrian accommodation within the Village. They obtained the data through visual inspection and measurements using a mobile Page | 12 Page 32 of 401 GIS data collection device. Staff entered information related to observed deficiencies directly into the device. They received training in current ADA guidelines and field procedures to ensure accurate data collection. The team gathered the data and analyzed it using a scoring system, which they adjusted as needed to align with the Village’s goals for prioritizing repairs. 6.2 SIDEWALK DATA COLLECTED The project team conducted the sidewalk inventory in segments based on Village blocks. They defined a sidewalk segment as a continuous length of sidewalk between termini points set at intersecting roadways. See Appendix B.2(a) for the detailed summary of sidewalk data collected. 6.3 CURB RAMP DATA COLLECTED Because the ADA includes comprehensive requirements for curb ramps, the team took detailed measurements at each curb ramp. For a breakdown of the types of data collected, see Appendix B.2(b). 6.4 PEDESTRIAN SIGNAL DATA COLLECTED Because the ADA outlines comprehensive requirements for pedestrian signals, the team took detailed measurements at each signal. For a summary of the types of data collected, see Appendix B.2(c). 6.5 SCORING AND RANKING The project team developed a criteria system to prioritize ADA compliance based on both physical condition and proximity to pedestrian traffic generators. They included location as a key factor, following guidance from the Department of Justice Title II Technical Assistance Manual, which allows public entities to prioritize sidewalk and curb ramp improvements based on location. To determine the value of each component, the team relied on technical expertise and gathered input from Steering Committee members and Village staff to identify which components were most important. The physical condition assessment was used to calculate accessibility scores, which were then used to generate Accessibility Score Prioritization Maps. The proximity to pedestrian generators assessment was used to calculate activity scores, which were then used to generate Activity Score Prioritization Maps. The combination of these two maps is intended to aid the Village with prioritizing future improvements that have the greatest benefit to accessibility. A description of the physical condition scoring system and the proximity to pedestrian generators scoring system is presented below. Accessibility Score Prioritization Maps (physical condition) The project team developed a scoring system to evaluate the physical condition of each sidewalk segment and curb ramp. They used this system to prioritize the severity of deficiencies. During the sidewalk and curb ramp inventory, they assigned scores to each Page | 13 Page 33 of 401 component of the ADA compliance criteria based on how much it impeded accessibility and the severity of obstructions along the route. Sidewalk Accessibility Score Two key factors determine the sidewalk segment accessibility score: the physical condition of the sidewalk segment and the presence of obstructions. The team assessed the condition by evaluating components such as sidewalk width, cross slope, and running slope, assigning each a value based on its priority level. They then examined obstructions, like vertical displacements, entrances, utility poles, and fire hydrants that limit usability. A point value was given to each factor, see Appendix B.3(a) for a detailed list of the scoring system. Running slope was excluded for the final scoring because the level of accessibility for running slope is determined in association with the running slope of the adjacent roadway. For example, the sidewalk adjacent to Lombard Avenue between Spring Avenue and Grove Avenue has a running slope exceeding 10%. However, since this matches the running slope of Lombard Avenue this sidewalk is technically in compliance although the running slope exceeds the maximum running slope of 5% as listed in the PROWAG. This is commonly known as the “road grade exception.” Sidewalk Score = (Width Score + Cross Slope Score + Vertical Displacement Score + Deterioration Score) A maximum score of 13 represents a sidewalk segment that meets all thresholds established for compliance. A minimum score of 4 represents a sidewalk segment that has the most significant barriers to access. Most sidewalk segments fall within these two extremes. To provide clarity, the sidewalk segments were divided into four groups based on similar levels of physical sidewalk deficiencies. The four groups, with the highest priority listed first, are: 1 Major Barriers to Access Found Score of 4-9 2 Moderate Barriers to Access Found Score of 10 3 Minor Barriers to Access Found Score of 11-12 4 Significantly Compliant Score of 13 A summary map of the prioritization of sidewalk segments in the Village based on the scoring system established herein can be found in Exhibit 6B. A grid map with accompanying larger scale maps, showing the prioritization of sidewalk segments throughout the Village can be found in Appendix B.4(d). Curb Ramp Accessibility Score The project team established the accessibility score for curb ramps by assigning a value to each component that affects overall compliance. For example, they gave higher priority to a 3’ wide curb ramp than to one without detectable warning panels. They then summed the values of each component to calculate the total curb ramp accessibility score. The scoring Page | 14 Page 34 of 401  was completed within the DeepWalk software with custom values and scoring weight added based on Village priorities and feedback from the public. See Appendix B.3(b) for a detailed list of the scoring system. Curb Ramp Score = (Width Score + Detectable Warning Score + Cross Slope Score + Running Slope Score + Vertical Displacement Score) After calculating the scores, they categorized each location into one of five groups based on similar levels of physical curb ramp deficiencies. The five groups, with the highest priority being listed first, are: 1 Missing Curb Ramp Highest Priority 2 Major Barriers to Access Found Score greater than 150 3 Moderate Barriers to Access Found Score of 50-150 4 Minor Barriers to Access Found Score of 10-50 5 Significantly Compliant Score of less than 10 A summary map of the prioritization of curb ramps in the Village based on the scoring system established herein can be found in Exhibit 6C. A grid map with accompanying larger scale maps, showing the prioritization of curb ramps throughout the Village can be found in Appendix B.4(d). Pedestrian Signal Accessibility Score The project team established the accessibility score for pedestrian signals by labeling each component as either “compliant” or “non-compliant.” If the component was “non- compliant” it received a score of 1 and if the component was “compliant” it received a score of 5. The components were added together to get the final Pedestrian Signals Score. It is anticipated that pedestrian signals will be upgraded by the intersection. See Appendix B.3(c) for a detailed list of the pedestrian signal components evaluated. Pedestrian Signals Score = (Distance From Curb Line Score + Push Button Height Score + Detector Score + Non-Visual Aids Score + Clear Space Widths Score + Clear Space Slopes Score + Distance from Push Button to Crosswalk Score + Push Button Proximity Score + Operating Force Score + Obstructions Score + Side Reach Range Score + Push Button Parallel to Crosswalk Score) After calculating the scores, they categorized each location into one of five groups based on similar levels of pedestrian signal deficiencies. The five groups, with the highest priority being listed first, are: Page | 15 Page 35 of 401  1 No Detection Present Highest Priority 2 Obstruction Present Highest Priority 3 Major Barriers to Access Found Score less than 51 4 Moderate Barriers to Access Found Score of 52-55 5 Minor Barriers to Access Found Score of 56-59 6 Significantly Compliant Score greater than 60 A summary map of the prioritization of pedestrian signals in the Village based on the scoring system established herein can be found in Exhibit 6D. A grid map with accompanying larger scale maps, showing the prioritization of pedestrian signals throughout the Village can be found in Appendix B.4(d). Pedestrian Activity Score Prioritization Map (proximity to pedestrian generators) Proximity to pedestrian traffic generators was evaluated as the second part of the two-part scoring system. The pedestrian activity prioritization map developed was a heat map to identify locations within the Village that have the highest likelihood of having a high amount of pedestrian traffic. The map considers these pedestrian traffic generators and predicts the likelihood of pedestrian usage based on eight distinct categories: • K-12 schools • Commercial districts • Parks • Street classifications • Walking trails • High-density housing • Government buildings • Traffic signals • Pace bus stops • Crossing guards • Metra rail stops The prioritization map sums up the activity scores for comparison throughout the Village. For visual clarity, the map is broken into four groups. The highest priority locations are shown in red, and the lowest priority areas are shown in green. The highest priority locations are those in close proximity to multiple pedestrian traffic generators. Meanwhile, a low priority activity factor represents a segment that is near few if any pedestrian traffic generators. (1) Red: Highest Likelihood of Pedestrian Traffic (Score of 69-145) (2) Blue: Second Highest Likelihood of Pedestrian Traffic (Score of 49-68) (3) Magenta: Third Highest Likelihood of Pedestrian Traffic (Score of 29-48) (4) Green: Lowest Likelihood of Pedestrian Traffic (Score of 1-28) See Appendix B.5 for a detailed description of the activity scores of different traffic generators within the Village. A summary map of the pedestrian activity prioritization in the Village based on the scoring system established herein can be found in Exhibit 6E. A grid map with accompanying larger scale maps showing the prioritization of pedestrian activity throughout the Village can be found in Appendix B.6. Page | 16 Page 36 of 401 Figure 2: Accessibility Score Overview Map Figure 3: Activity Score Overview Map 7.0 ON-STREET PARKING ASSESSMENT 7.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Village allows on-street parking on all streets except where signage prohibits it. While most streets in the Village permit on-street parking, signed and striped spaces, which are subject to ADA standards, are primarily but not exclusively within the downtown area. For the ADA Transition Plan, the project team evaluated the on-street ADA parking supply within the downtown District and six other locations within the Village, to assess compliance and identify locations where additional accessible spaces may be warranted. The Village-owned parking lots are subject to separate ADA requirements and were not evaluated as part of the Plan. It is recommended that the Village assess these facilities to determine whether modifications are needed to meet applicable standards. Page | 17 Page 37 of 401  Image 1: Example Block location 7.2 REQUIREMENTS REGARDING ON-STREET PARKING According to the 2023 Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG), ADA requirements for on-street parking are triggered when parking is either metered or designated with signs or pavement markings. These requirements apply to newly constructed or altered parking spaces in the public right-of-way. Exceptions to On-Street Parking Requirements under PROWAG: 1. If on-street parking is not marked or signed (i.e., informal, or undesignated curbside parking), ADA requirements for accessible spaces do not apply. 2. If existing on-street parking spaces are not being altered, the accessibility requirements do not apply retroactively. Only altered spaces must meet the standards until the minimum number of accessible spaces is provided. 3. In cases where compliance is technically infeasible due to site constraints (e.g., steep slopes, limited right-of-way), exceptions may be granted, though the Village must still comply to the maximum extent feasible. Page | 18 Page 38 of 401  4. On-street parking spaces designated exclusively as residential parking shall not be counted for the purpose of determining the required number of parking spaces. 5. On-street parking spaces designed exclusively for commercial deliveries, or law enforcement vehicles shall not be counted for the purpose of determining the required number of parking spaces. During field visits, the project team did not observe any dedicated residential, commercial, or law enforcement on-street parking. As a result, no exceptions were applied when determining ADA parking requirements. Required Supply of Spaces under PROWAG In accordance with PROWAG, the project team determined the need for on-street ADA parking based on the number of parking spaces provided along a block perimeter. See Figures 4 and 5 for reference. Figure 4: Figure R211.1 Parking on block perimeter of the PROWAG The project team calculated the number of accessible on-street parking spaces required by adding up all parking spaces along the block perimeter. When individual parking spaces are not striped, the project team counts each 20 feet of designated street parking as one parking space. The number of required accessible spaces on that block perimeter is then determined using Table R211 of the 2024 PROWAG standards. See Figure 5 for a visual reference for this table. Based upon PROWAG, each block perimeter is evaluated independently and must have its own supply of ADA parking spaces. Providing extra ADA spaces on a neighboring block perimeter does not satisfy the need for the minimum required number of ADA parking spaces on a block perimeter.

For each block, the project team identified metered or designated parking—marked by signage or striping—and indicated these areas with a red line in the analysis. Parking along the block perimeter that did not meet the threshold for requiring accessible spaces was excluded from the evaluation. In all, twenty-four (24) unique block perimeters were evaluated within the Village. Of these, eleven block perimeters did not provide the minimum required ADA spaces. These locations were primarily smaller sections of signed on-street parking outside of downtown. If existing on- street parking spaces are not being altered, the accessibility requirements do not apply retroactively. Only altered spaces must meet the standards until the minimum number of accessible spaces is provided. The following blocks were found to be short of the required number of ADA spaces: Block 11 Block 11 is located in the Central Business District as is generally bounded by Duane Street, Main Street, Crescent Boulevard, and Prospect Avenue. There are 46 marked spaces along Duane Street and Crescent Boulevard in the block. There was 1 existing ADA parking space along Duane Street, but an additional ADA parking space is required to meet the minimum standards. The recommendation is to provide an ADA parking space along Crescent Boulevard. Block 12 Block 12 is located in the Central Business District as is generally bounded by Duane Street, Park Boulevard, Crescent Boulevard, and Main Street. There are 42 marked spaces along Duane Street and Crescent Boulevard in the block. There was 1 existing ADA parking space along Duane Street, but an additional ADA parking space is required to meet the minimum standards. The recommendation is to provide an ADA parking space along Crescent Boulevard. Block 16 Block 16 is located south of the Central Business District as is generally bounded by Hillside Avenue, Glenwood Avenue, Phillips Avenue, and Main Street. There are 12 marked spaces Page | 20 Page 40 of 401 along Hillside Avenue in front of Glen Ellyn Bible Church. There are no existing ADA parking spaces along Hillside Avenue, and one ADA parking space is required to meet the minimum standards. The recommendation is to provide an ADA parking space along Hillside Avenue closest to Main Street. Block 17 Block 17 is located south of the Central Business District as it is generally bounded by Greenfield Avenue, Newtown Avenue, Turner Avenue, and Regent Street. There are 60 marked spaces along Greenfield Avenue in front of Abraham Lincoln School. The parking spaces provided represent the only available parking for staff, teachers, and visitors alike. There is currently 1 ADA parking space located closest to the primary entrance to the school. The recommendation is to provide 2 ADA parking spaces along Greenfield Avenue in front of the main entrance. The recommendation is to provide these parking spaces as soon as possible as these spaces were eliminated as part of past improvements along Greenfield Avenue. Block 18 Block 18 surrounds Sunset Park and the community pool. The block is generally bounded by Fairview Avenue, Main Street, Roosevelt Road, and Sunset Avenue. There are 55 marked spaces along Sunset Avenue and Fairview Avenue. There is currently no ADA parking space along the block, and 3 total ADA parking spaces are required. There is ADA spaces located within a public parking lot within the block, but these spaces only meet the requirements for public parking inside the parking lot. As accessible parking is already provided closer to the community pool it is recommended to space out the new ADA spaces throughout the park. Block 19 Block 19 is located south of Roosevelt Road and includes a small on-street parking area that serves Lambert Lake. The block is generally bounded by Taft Avenue, Lambert Road, Orchard Land and Lorraine Road. The on-street parking area has 6 marked spaces along Taft Avenue. There are currently no ADA spaces along the block, and 1 total ADA parking space is required. The on-street parking area provides access to a natural area that is not accessible and does not have clearly marked trails from the parking area. It is recommended that when trail access from the parking lot is upgraded the accessible parking space should be installed at that time. Block 20 Block 20 is located south of Roosevelt Road as it is generally bounded by Sheehan Avenue, State Route 53, Marston Avenue, and Milton Avenue. There are 65 marked spaces along Greenfield Avenue in front of Glen Crest Middle. These parking spaces are in addition to off- street parking lots that serve the school. There is currently 1 ADA parking space located near the westernmost entrance to the school and an additional 2 spaces are required. It was unclear during our assessment how these parking spaces are utilized and further conversation with the school district is warranted to determine the proper placement of the ADA parking spaces. Block 21 Page | 21 Page 41 of 401 Block 21 is located west of the Central Business District as is generally bounded by Pennsylvania Avenue, Kenilworth Avenue, Anthony Street, and Western Avenue. There are 34 marked spaces along Pennsylvania Avenue in the block, and no ADA parking spaces exist. Two ADA parking spaces are required. The recommendation is to provide an ADA parking spaces at multiple locations along Pennsylvania Avenue. Block 22 Block 22 is located west of the Central Business District as is generally bounded by Pennsylvania Avenue, Kenilworth Avenue, Anthony Street, and the western village limits. There are 12 marked spaces along Pennsylvania Avenue in the block, and no ADA parking spaces exist. One ADA parking spaces are required. The recommendation is to provide an ADA parking space near the side street, Pennsylvania Avenue. Block 23 Block 23 is located along Lenox Road and provides on-street parking for Lake Ellyn Park and Lake Ellyn Boathouse. There are no off-street parking lots at Lake Ellyn Park and therefore this block provides the primary access for accessible parking users to the wide variety of events offered at the park. The on-street parking is located along Lenox Road between Hawthorne Boulevard and Essex Road and includes 65 marked parking spaces including 2 accessible parking spaces. The recommendation is to provide the additional accessible parking space either immediately north or south of Linden Street to provide an accessible parking space located at the closest possible space to Lake Ellyn Boathouse. Block 24 Block 24 is located south of Geneva Road as it is generally bounded by Elm Street, Main Street, Oak Street, and Highland Avenue. There are 48 marked spaces, including 1 ADA parking space, along Elm Street and Highland Avenue that serve as the staff, teacher, and visitor parking spaces for Forest Glen Elementary School. There is a small off-street parking lot accessed from Main Street that includes staff parking spaces, including 1 ADA space. These parking spaces are not included in the count for overall parking spaces or are included in the requirements for on- street ADA parking spaces. An additional ADA parking space is required and recommended to be added next to the existing ADA parking space along Elm Street. See Appendix B.8 for the Block-Specific Parking Analysis. 8.0 TRANSITION PLAN FOR PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES 8.1 PRIORITIZATION OF PROJECTS Based upon the comprehensive inventory and self-evaluation of the Village’s pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way, it has been estimated that full implementation of all improvements will cost on the order of $25,000,000 in 2025 dollars. The table below provides a breakdown of the estimated costs by facility type. Page | 22 Page 42 of 401 FACILITY TYPE COUNT UNIT COST TOTAL COST1 Sidewalk (panels) 2 $16,400,000 Vertical Displacement (1/4” – 1-1/2”) 12,500 $90 $1,125,000 Vertical Displacement (greater than 1-1/2”) 2,500 $1,250 $3,125,000 Cross Slope Correction 27,000 $450 $12,150,000 Curb Ramps (corners) 3 1,220 $8,116,000 Missing Curb Ramp 13 $10,000 $130,000 Major Barriers 155 $7,000 $1,085,000 Moderate Barriers 589 $7,000 $4,123,000 Minor Barriers 463 $6,000 $2,778,000 Significantly Compliant 632 $0 $0 Pedestrian Signals (intersections)4 6 $360,000 6 $60,000 $360,000 TOTAL $24,876,000 Table 4: 2025 Cost Estimates for Compliance 1 2025 Dollars. 2 For vertical displacement up to 1-1/2", horizontal saw cutting assumed. For vertical displacement greater than 1-1/2" full removal and replacement of square and each adjacent square assumed. For cross slope issues, removal and replacement assumed plus 10% factor for adjacent squares replaced for slope transition. 3 Higher costs for missing curb ramp and major/moderate barriers reflect potential additional earthwork and potential side curb or retaining walls. 4 Only Village-owned traffic signals are included in this estimate, except for the addition of the Lambert/Ped signal. The Taylor Underpass intersection does not have ped signals. Cost is derived from preliminary Traffic Signal Modernization design for the intersections and averaged over the 6 subject intersections. Because of the scale of bringing all pedestrian facilities into compliance—and the changing condition of sidewalks and curb ramps, the assessment process includes a prioritization framework based on an Accessibility Score and an Activity Score. This framework helps identify and rank improvements based on need and pedestrian activity levels. The Plan suggests prioritizing implementation with Major Barriers to Access (shown in red), which represent the most urgent needs. Moderate or Minor Barriers (shown in magenta and blue) follow in priority. While Significantly Compliant facilities (shown in green) are the lowest priority for initial implementation. The table and map in Exhibit 6F provide a snapshot of some potential priority corridors for consideration as the Capital Program is developed and as opportunities for additional funding arise. While the Plan includes a clear prioritization framework, the Village will need to group projects logically to improve construction efficiency and achieve cost savings. Additionally, if any segments or curb ramps become eligible for federal, state, or developer funding, the Village will Page | 23 Page 43 of 401 pursue those opportunities regardless of their prioritization rank. The Village of Glen Ellyn reserves the right to modify priorities to allow flexibility in accommodating community requests, petitions for reasonable modifications from people with disabilities, changes in Village programs, ongoing evaluation and funding constraints and opportunities. 8.2 IMPLEMENTATION: VILLAGE PROGRAMS The Village intends to address pedestrian facility accessibility barriers through several different Capital Improvement programs: • Temporary repairs for reported trip hazards, historically performed by Public Works- Streets staff using cold mix asphalt. In 2025, Public Works acquired a horizontal saw- cutting machine that will be used for more permanent trip hazard repairs where applicable. • Annual Sidewalk Repair Program funded through Capital Projects funds. The program consists of the removal and replacement of defective sidewalk panels throughout the Village. As with all communities, demands outstrip available funds requiring strategy for where limited funding is applied each year. The prioritizations developed through this plan will assist the Village in targeting the limited funds to the areas most in need, and not suitable for horizontal saw cutting. • Annual Horizontal Saw Cutting program funded through Capital Projects funds. The Village initiated this contracted work in 2023 as a pilot program. Given the cost efficiency and positive public feedback, the program has continued with additional funding applied. However, as with the sidewalk repair program, demand outstrips available funds. Nonetheless, it serves as an important and cost-effective part of the Village’s overall sidewalk strategy. • Annual Roadway Improvement Program funded through Capital Projects funds, Motor Fuel Tax Funds, and grant funds. As part of the Village’s roadway projects, adjacent sidewalk is reviewed and replaced as warranted to resolve trip hazards and bring it up to standard. Unlike some municipal programs, Glen Ellyn’s program involves review of not just the intersection curb ramps, but also mid-block sidewalk for trip hazards or other serious defects. • Traffic Signal Modernization Project. The Village currently owns six traffic signals. There is a program underway to modernize each of the signals over the course of a 3- year span from 2026 to 2028. As part of the modernization, the sidewalk and pedestrian signals at the intersections are being brought up to current ADA standards. The upgrade of non-Village, IDOT and County owned traffic signals is not part of this program. The following traffic signals will be upgraded as part of the planned project. Note that the Lambert Road Pedestrian Signal is currently owned by the College of DuPage but is proposed to be transferred to the Village as part of the program. Page | 24 Page 44 of 401  o Lambert Road and College Road o Lambert Road and Tallgrass Road o Lambert Road and Pedestrian Signal (COD) o Lambert Road and Fawell Boulevard o Main Street and Elm Street o Park Boulevard and Sheehan Avenue/Winchell Way o Taylor Underpass between Walnut Street and Willis Street (no pedestrian traffic signals) • Other Stand-Alone Projects. In addition to the above programs, the Village is active in pursuing grant funding for projects. Below are three recent examples of such funding awards and the Village will continue to pursue funding as opportunities present. a. This ADA Transition Plan was made possible through a Planning Technical Assistance grant and support from CMAP. b. Design on a significant Downtown Train Station and Pedestrian Underpass project is in Phase 2 design with an anticipated start of construction in 2027. This project is being made possible through significant grant funding and will represent the fourth and final phase of a multi-year overhaul of the downtown pedestrian infrastructure. The combination of projects has improved and is greatly improving pedestrian accessibility and safety throughout the downtown area. c. The Village was recently awarded $400,000 in Local Project Funding (LPF) toward the design of sidewalk and lighting improvements along the Roosevelt Road corridor through the Village. The Village currently funds sidewalk improvements through the Capital Projects fund which is supported by a number of revenue sources, most notably property taxes, food, and beverage tax. The Village also uses various state and federal funding sources to support specific roadway projects, such as Motor Fuel Tax and the competitive Surface Transportation Program funding. The Village Board approves the final budget for the Village’s capital improvements each year, through the annual fiscal budget development process. 8.3 IMPLEMENTATION: PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES Every private development project in the Village represents an opportunity to improve accessibility within the individual development and in the adjacent public right-of-way. The Village reviews each of these developments for potential improvements. One admirable outcome of these reviews has been the provision of accessible routes from the public sidewalk to the front entrances of commercial developments along the commercial Roosevelt Road corridor. While a logical provision, these access routes through parking lots are all too commonly overlooked throughout the region. 8.4 IMPLEMENTATION: COORDINATION WITH EXTERNAL AGENCIES The Village maintains positive working relationships with external agencies such as the Illinois Page | 25 Page 45 of 401 Department of Transportation, DuPage County, and its neighboring municipalities. The Village should continue to coordinate with IDOT and DuPage County officials regarding increasing accessibility along their routes throughout Glen Ellyn. These routes represent some of the highest priority routes in the Village and improving accessibility along these corridors is in the best interest of not only the Village but IDOT and DuPage County. IDOT has jurisdiction over the following routes within the Village limits: • Roosevelt Road • Illinois Route 53 DuPage County has jurisdiction over the following routes with the Village limits: • St. Charles Road • Geneva Road • Swift Road between St. Charles Road and the northern Village limits • Park Boulevard between southern Village limits and Raintree Boulevard • Main Street between St. Charles Road and northern Village limits • Bloomingdale Road between Geneva Road and the northern Village limits Similarly, the Village will continue to coordinate with neighboring communities that border their limits, to manage any proposed roadway projects where jurisdiction and maintenance are shared. Coordination with the park and school districts is also a priority. 9.0 OVERALL RECOMMENDATIONS 9.1 RECOMMENDATIONS BEYOND THE PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE In addition to implementation of programs to address the sidewalk, curb ramp, and pedestrian signal accessibility barriers covered in Chapter 8, there are other measures that the Village should take to achieve the goal of complete accessibility. The measures below are referenced earlier in the Plan and/or derived from the public outreach aspect of the planning process. • ADA Transition Plan – Post adopted ADA Transition Plan to the Village website where it is easily accessible to the public. • Sidewalk Vegetation Obstructions – Work with Community Development and Public Works-Forestry to address the specific vegetation obstructions identified through the sidewalk self-evaluation. For private property related vegetation, letters can be sent to the adjacent property owners notifying them of the issue and providing a timeline for adjusting the vegetation (e.g., trimming, relocation, or removal). For public property adjacent issues, a list of locations can be given to the Public Works Forestry Division to be addressed. • Public Outreach Comments – Review all public outreach comments received through the Steering Committee, community survey, website mapping, and individual interviews Page | 26 Page 46 of 401  for actionable items. Review these items through the Village’s Traffic Work Group. See Exhibit 6A for a map showing the location of comments from various engagement efforts. • Village Code Updates – See Exhibit 3 Memorandum on Review of City Documents for ADA Inclusion for specific proposed Code changes. • Documentation of Design Exceptions – See Exhibit 3 for draft forms to document when compliance is not feasible. Draft forms are provided for exceptions identified during the design process and construction. • Sidewalk Gap Mapping and Prioritization – As part of the sidewalk assessment, a Village-wide Sidewalk Gap Map was developed and is included as Exhibit 6G. The Village should reference the map and look for opportunities to provide new sidewalk through the existing capital improvement programs and any funding opportunities that may arise. The Activity Score Prioritization Map can help with identifying target locations for new sidewalk. For the purposes of the Plan gaps in the sidewalk network are small gaps, less than 200 feet, within a larger sidewalk network. Entire Village blocks where sidewalk does not currently exist are not considered a gap for the purpose of the ADA Transition planning. Nonetheless, providing sidewalk where it is absent may still be a Village priority depending upon local conditions and the general goal of providing pedestrian connectivity throughout the Village. • Review of Construction Practices affecting Pedestrian Accessibility – See Exhibit 3 for a discussion on how pedestrian accessibility can be increased during construction operations. • Sidewalk Snow Clearing Policies – The Village currently does not have any ordinance in regard to snow clearing for sidewalks and curb ramps throughout the Village. See Exhibit 3 for a discussion on potential Village policy revisions to address snow clearing policies along with examples from other agencies. • On-Street Accessible Parking Spaces – As per Appendix B.7, the twenty-four block perimeters were evaluated, with eleven of those locations not meeting the minimum required number of accessible spaces. Evaluate the eleven locations and add accessible spaces as opportunities permit. • Downtown Railroad Crossings – During the public outreach process there were comments about intersections near the railroad crossings where one leg of the intersection is not stop controlled and the remainder of the legs are stop controlled. It was noted that these intersections are challenging for pedestrians, specifically those who are visually impaired. While technically compliant, based on community feedback it is recommended to investigate intersection improvements to improve pedestrian safety. Below is the list of intersections where this condition applies: Page | 27 Page 47 of 401  o Duane St and Prospect Ave (SB Prospect Ave is not stop controlled) o Duane St and Main St (SB Main St is not stop controlled) o Crescent Blvd and Main St (NB Main St is not stop controlled) o Crescent Blvd and Park Blvd (NB Park Blvd is not stop controlled) o Pennsylvania Ave and Prospect Ave (NB Prospect Ave is not stop controlled) o Pennsylvania Ave and Park Blvd (NB Park Blvd is not stop controlled) In addition to the above intersections, there were also comments about confusion over right-of-way between vehicles and pedestrians/cyclists at the downtown Prairie Path crossings adjacent to the railroad crossings. These crossings are located at Prospect Avenue, Main Street and Park Boulevard. • Other Village Responsibility under the ADA – Accessible pedestrian facilities on public right-of-way represents one element of the Village’s obligation under the ADA. While outside the scope of this project the Village should continue to identify barriers to access and plan for the elimination to these barriers across all policies, programs, and services. Examples of other policies, programs, and services include the Village website, Village-owned buildings, and the Village Links. The above recommendations are summarized in the Recommendations Table in Exhibit 5. 9.2 CHALLENGES OF IMPLEMENTATION The Plan has identified challenges that may impact the feasibility of implementing priority sidewalk improvements. One significant issue is the location of the railroad tracks in proximity to the streets crossing them, the streets parallel to them, as well as the Prairie Path parallel to them. Much of the public feedback included concern regarding the safety issue this poses. Many residents commented that a stop sign should be placed on the south leg of the intersection of Crescent Boulevard and S. Park Boulevard, and to a lesser degree, the south leg of the intersection of Crescent Boulevard and S. Main Street. But should the cars be expected to stop on that leg, it would Example of RR tracks' proximity to streets downtown introduce the possibility of cars stopping on the tracks, which is a bigger safety concern than not stopping at all. Second, immovable obstacles, such as utility poles, present both logistical and financial challenges. When relocation is necessary, the Village must determine suitable new locations for Page | 28 Page 48 of 401 these objects. Utility poles, in particular, represent some of the most impactful and costly obstacles to relocate. The Village developed these priorities based on identified needs; however, there are unknown challenges that may affect the feasibility of constructing certain improvements throughout the entirety of the Village. Where implementation proves technically infeasible, the Village should pursue alternative projects that achieve the same overarching goals, such as improving accessibility, safety, and connectivity for all users. At a minimum, these locations will be documented along with the technical infeasibility and filed by Village staff to document the reason for the infeasibility. 9.3 POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES/PROGRAMMING The Village currently funds sidewalk improvements through the Village budget and through active efforts to secure grant funding where available. The Village should continue to incorporate sidewalk improvements into broader transportation projects throughout the community. Local / Federal / State Programs There are several local, state, and federal funding sources available to assist municipalities with capital improvement projects. Most of these programs are competitive and include specific restrictions that must be reviewed to ensure compliance with the proposed project. The programs detailed below are not an exhaustive list of available state and federal funding programs. The Village should continue to actively monitor funding opportunities and pursue them as they arise to support the goals and objectives outlined in this ADA Transition Plan. Staying informed about new and evolving programs will help the Village secure resources needed to implement accessibility improvements efficiently and effectively. (a) Surface Transportation Program (STP): The STP program provides flexible funding for local agencies to improve public roads and bridges, transit capital projects, and improvements to transit terminals and facilities. STP funding is a viable option for eligible roadways within the Village. Eligible roadways are functionally classified by CMAP. A map showing the functionally classified roadways within the Village can be found at IROADS - Illinois Roadway Analysis Database System. “Transportation enhancements” including historic preservation, alternative non-motorized transportation, and landscaping are also funded using STP funds. STP funds can be used for a wide variety of improvements including road improvements with accompanying pedestrian accommodation as well as new construction and reconstruction of sidewalk and curb ramps. CMAP currently administers STP funds for the Chicago area. (b) Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ): The CMAQ program provides funds to help mitigate congestion and improve air quality. CMAQ projects commonly include intersection improvements and reconstruction. CMAQ funding is a viable option for eligible roadways within the Village. Eligible roadways Page | 29 Page 49 of 401  are functionally classified by CMAP. A map showing the functionally classified roadways within the Village can be found at IROADS - Illinois Roadway Analysis Database System. Pedestrian accommodations including accessible pedestrian signals can be included with CMAQ projects to improve pedestrian safety at intersections. CMAP currently administers CMAQ funds for the Chicago area. (c) Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP): The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) transportation bill combined multiple funding sources that fund pedestrian projects including Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) and Recreational Trails Program (RTP). Money is still allocated for projects that were previously under these funding sources through the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP). (d) Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP): The Illinois Department of Transportation administers ITEP funds as part of a competitive statewide program. ITEP projects include pedestrian and bicycle facilities including on-road and off-road facilities and sidewalks, rails to trails, and streetscapes. 9.4 FORMAL ADOPTION OF ADA TRANSITION PLAN This ADA Transition Plan is anticipated to be formally adopted by the Village of Glen Ellyn. The resolution for this adoption can be found as Exhibit 8 of this Plan. 9.5 CONTINUATION AND MONITORING OF THE PLAN • Incorporate inventory data into Village’s GIS and Asset Management Software – After acceptance of the ADA Transition Plan all GIS data created during the development of the ADA Transition Plan will be incorporated into the Village’s existing GIS network. All collected data must match the format of the existing inventory to ensure consistency and integration with the scoring system. If construction replaces an existing sidewalk or curb ramp, the Village shall overwrite the previous data to maintain an up-to-date record. For expansion to the pedestrian network, Village staff shall add the new data to the GIS system. • Assessment of new pedestrian facilities – The Village should inspect all sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, pedestrian traffic signals, and any other improvements to pedestrian facilities on public right-of-way prior to acceptance. The inspection should be completed by someone familiar with ADA requirements. Upon acceptance, Village staff should add new pedestrian assets into the existing GIS system. • Monitoring and tracking the plan – As the Village completes improvements these improvements shall be reflected in the GIS database. These improvements should be updated based on a schedule and process as developed by Village staff but at a frequency recommended to be no less than once per year. • Potential Priority Sidewalk Segments Map – The priority projects identified in this Plan, see Exhibit 6F, are intended to serve as a guide for Village staff in continuing long-term efforts to improve accessibility. As projects are completed, the Village shall add new projects to the list to maintain momentum. Page | 30 Page 50 of 401  • Updating the self-evaluation of pedestrian facilities - As part of the Plan, the project team assessed all sidewalk and curb ramps currently within Village limits. This assessment represents a snapshot in time (Spring 2025). Pedestrian facilities that are compliant with the development of the ADA Transition Plan may fall out of compliance in the future. To maintain ongoing accessibility, the Village should implement a seven-year rotation schedule to reassess all sidewalks. The next round of assessments is recommended to begin in 2027. This Plan recognizes that working toward full accessibility in the public right-of-way is a long- term commitment. Some existing pedestrian facilities in Glen Ellyn are technically infeasible to upgrade to meet ADA standards. In such cases, the Village shall improve alternative routes to serve residents effectively. Based upon the Village’s recent sidewalk and curb ramps spending levels, and the estimated costs table in Chapter 8, it is reasonable to project that the bulk of the accessibility barriers identified can be addressed within a 25-year time frame. However, it is anticipated that facilities that are compliant today will not be compliant in the future. The Village’s obligation to provide accessible routes is in-perpetuity as is the Village’s commitment to improving the quality of life of the citizens of Glen Ellyn.

These recommendations are specifically related to the Engineering/Public Works Department but may be applied to Village departments as appropriate and desired. During our assessment it was noted that the Village uses standard language “Any individual with a disability requiring a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in a meeting contact The Village of Glen Ellyn ADA Coordinator, 630-469-5000, at least five (5) business days in advance of the next scheduled meeting” on Board meeting agendas. This language should be used for any agenda or public meeting notice prepared by the Village regardless of Village department. The language was not found on recent agendas for the Environmental Commission Meeting agenda, Recreation Commission Meeting agenda, and Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting agenda (different language). The documents reviewed, and all other permits, applications, and any other printed materials offered by the Village of Glen Ellyn, should be available upon request in alternative formats (such as large print and Braille). An example of language that could be added to all permits, forms, and other documents that require user input is: “Document is available in alternative formats (such as large print, Braille, etc.) and assistance with completing the document is available upon request. Please contact Village staff for any accommodations.” Several documents were reviewed for references (or lack thereof) to the Americans with Disabilities Act or pertaining to persons with disabilities. This review was limited to documents prepared by the Engineering Department or related to design and construction of pedestrian facilities within public rights-of-way. Pedestrian facilities within public rights-of-way include sidewalks, curb ramps, pedestrian traffic signals, roadways (crosswalks), and sidewalks through driveways. Permit documents were also included, with attention directed toward their relation to accessibility. The following documents were reviewed or suggested as part of the ADA Sidewalk Evaluation and Transition Plan being prepared for the Village of Glen Ellyn by Oates Associates, Inc.: Page 58 of 401  March 2, 2026, Memorandum to Village of Glen Ellyn MEMORANDUM 1.) Glen Ellyn, Illinois – Code of Ordinances 2.) Move Glen Ellyn – Active Transportation Plan 3.) Sidewalk Replacement Program 4.) Notice Under the Americans with Disabilities Act 5.) Grievance Procedures Under the Americans with Disabilities Act The following recommendations are not meant to represent proposed verbiage for insertion into any Village documents but rather represent existing Village ordinances or other various Village documents where additional language pertaining to accessibility may be desired. Glen Ellyn, Illinois – Code of Ordinances The following revisions are suggested to the Code of Ordinances: Antiquated Terminology – Throughout the Code of Ordinances, references are made to “handicapped” individuals, “physically disabled” individuals, or a variation of these phrases. We suggest rewording this to the preferred terminology of “person with a disability”. Locations in the document where this terminology is found are listed: - Title 6 – Police Regulations o 6-3.4 - Title 8 – Public Ways and Property o 8-5.3 - Title 9 – Traffic o 9-2.3 o 9-2.6 o 9-2.9 o 9-5.7 o 9-5.13 - Title 10 – Zoning Code o 10-2.2 o 10-5.8 o 10-5.15 o 10-5.16 Definitions – The definition for “Disability” to be provided in the Code of Ordinances should align with the federal definition defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Potential language includes “DISABILITY. As defined in Section 12102 (Definition of Disability) of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, As Amended”. Exhibit 3-2 Page 59 of 401  March 2, 2026, Memorandum to Village of Glen Ellyn MEMORANDUM Traffic Code and Parking – Sections in the Code of Ordinances were reviewed for design specifications, public rights-of-way, and parking regulations. We recommend the following revisions: - 8-6.14 (Traffic Control) and 9-1.18 (Pedestrian Control Signals) - Inclusion of design specifications for traffic control devices. - 9-5.13 (Schedule M) – May include “The space shall be indicated by an upright sign whether on a pole or attached to a building upon which shall be inscribed the international symbol of accessibility (ADAAG 703.7.2.1) to indicate that the space is reserved for the exclusive use of vehicles which display a distinguishing license plate or card.” - 9-2 (Stopping, Standing, Parking) - Add a statement at the beginning of chapter stating “On-street parking on public right-of-way shall be designed and constructed in accordance with Section R310 of the Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). All other parking shall be designed and constructed in accordance with Section 402 of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.” Construction and Design – Sections in the Code of Ordinances were reviewed for design specifications and code. Include minimum requirements for all constructed driveways, curb ramps, sidewalks, and pedestrian traffic signals, found in the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG), and the Illinois Accessibility Code. These documents will be collectively referred to as “ADA requirements” below. We suggest the following revisions: - Title 4: Building Regulations o 4-1.3 (Definitions) - Add a statement defining accessibility and the applicable code that will be used to determine if the minimum standards for accessibility are met. The applicable codes are the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and the Illinois Accessibility Code, most current version. o 4-5 (Sign Code) – Add a statement that no sign shall become a protruding object as defined in Section R402 of the Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). - Title 8: Public Ways and Property o 8-1 (Streets and Sidewalks) contains pertinent information related to sidewalk construction on public streets. The following potential modifications to the section were identified to improve accessibility: ▪ Add a construction requirement for a 4” minimum aggregate base under sidewalk on collector and arterial routes. ▪ Add a requirement that all sidewalks, curb ramps, pedestrian traffic signals, and bus stops will be assessed to ensure compliance with Exhibit 3-3 Page 60 of 401  March 2, 2026, Memorandum to Village of Glen Ellyn MEMORANDUM applicable ADA requirements prior to the certificate of compliance being issued. o 8-1-20 (Duty to install sidewalks) (H) – Recommend revising the sum of money to be paid by the property owner to $55.00 per linear foot of sidewalk to be more in line with current construction prices. o 8-1-20 (Duty to install sidewalks) (H) – Recommend revising the requirement that the funds shall be used within one mile of the property owner’s lot to reference that the funds shall be used to further the goals of the ADA Transition Plan. o 8-6 (Construction of Utility Facilities in Rights-Of-Way) – Add a statement that utilities and aboveground facilities shall not limit the clear width of any public sidewalk to less than 4 feet in width. o 8-6.2 (Definitions) - Add a statement defining accessibility and the applicable code that will be used to determine if the minimum standards for accessibility are met. The applicable codes are the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and the Illinois Accessibility Code, most current version. o 8-6.13 (General Construction Standards) – Include ADA requirement codes in standards and principles section. o 8-6-17 (Vegetation Control) – Add a requirement that any vegetation that interferes with ADA requirements should be controlled or removed. - Title 11: Subdivision Regulations o 11-4 (Design Standards) – Inclusion of design specifications for public use facilities outlined in the ADA requirements, including, but not limited to, roads, streets, and sidewalks (11-4.4, 11-4.7). The following additions are suggested to the Code of Ordinances: New Construction on New Alignment The expectation is that all newly designed and constructed facilities located on Village property or right-of-way comply with all applicable ADA standards. For pedestrian facilities constructed on state right-of-way within the Village, improvements shall follow the requirements outlined by IDOT standards. For pedestrian facilities constructed on County right-of-way within the Village shall comply with applicable County standards. New Construction on Existing Alignment The Village shall ensure that each addition on Village property or right-of-way complies with all applicable ADA standards, except as modified below. Alterations to Existing Facilities on Existing Alignment When proposed improvements alter existing components located on Village property or right- of-way, improvements that impact each altered component shall comply with all applicable Exhibit 3-4 Page 61 of 401  March 2, 2026, Memorandum to Village of Glen Ellyn MEMORANDUM ADA standards, including PROWAG and other standards listed in the Village Code of Ordinances, except as modified below: (a) Exception: If compliance with applicable provisions is technically infeasible during alterations, the improvements shall meet the standards to the maximum extent possible without placing undue burden on the Village. (b) Exception: When new sidewalk ties into an existing component that does not meet ADA standards at a project terminus, the improvements shall ensure that all sidewalk panels—except the one directly adjacent to the existing component— comply with applicable ADA standards. The transition panel shall not reduce accessibility. Examples of reduced accessibility include cross or running slopes that exceed the slopes of either the new or existing sidewalk panels. (c) Prohibited Reduction in Access: The improvements shall not implement any alteration that decreases accessibility for the general public on public right-of-way, site arrival points to buildings or facilities adjacent to the proposed adjustments, or to rooms within buildings. All alterations must meet or exceed the requirements for new construction at the time of the alteration. Approval Procedures for Exceptions and Technically Infeasible Conditions A written request to the applicable Village department is required for all determinations regarding exceptions and technical feasibility. However, any member of the public may appeal determination according to the procedures outlined in the ADA Grievance Procedures. Dimension and Grades Tolerances All work within the Village shall treat all dimensions and numerical requirements in these standards—and in applicable local, state, and federal codes or statutes— as absolute. These requirements account for construction practices and constraints, and no dimensional or slope tolerances beyond the stated maximum or minimum are allowed. The person responsible for construction operations shall ensure proper calibration of all equipment. For contracted work, the Village reserves the right to require removal and reconstruction of any construction that does not meet the listed standards, at no cost to the Village. Private Developers Private development can directly impact the adjacent public right-of-way. To address this, the Village should consider amending its ordinances to require sidewalk construction along public right-of-way as a condition for issuing building permits. The Village should also update its ordinances, as detailed in Exhibit 3, to clarify requirements for constructing pedestrian facilities within public right-of-way. Exhibit 3-5 Page 62 of 401  March 2, 2026, Memorandum to Village of Glen Ellyn MEMORANDUM For larger development projects, especially those involving new intersections with traffic signals, the Village should consider requiring developers to include pedestrian accommodations. These may include, but are not limited to: • Curb ramps • Marked crosswalks • Pedestrian signals • Accessible pedestrian devices Move Glen Ellyn – Active Transportation Plan It was noted that there is not reference to accessibility or obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and PROWAG in the Plan. All improvements identified and constructed as part of the long-term execution of this Plan will need to incorporate accessibility as appropriate. Sidewalk Replacement Program Due to the nature of the Sidewalk Replacement Program it may not always be possible to construct all new sidewalk panels to meet PROWAG requirements. Include a statement that new sidewalk will be construction to meet PROWAG requirements to the maximum extent practical. Notice Under the Americans with Disabilities Act A Notice Under the Americans with Disabilities Act has been developed and posted on the Village’s website. A copy of the Notice Under the Americans with Disabilities Act can be found in Exhibit 1. Grievance Procedure Under the Americans with Disabilities Act A draft Grievance Procedure Under the Americans with Disabilities Act has been developed and posted on the Village’s website.

Actionable items to be reviewed through Traffic Work Group. 5 Updating the self-evaluation of Year 1 9.6 To account for always changing conditions and maintain pedestrian facilities updates ongoing accessibility, the Village should implement a seven- year rotation schedule to reassess all sidewalks. The next round of assessments is recommended to begin in 2026. 6 Village Code Updates Year 1 and ongoing 9.1 Review and advance specific changes recommended in Exhibit 3 - Memorandum on Review of City Documents. Some changes will require longer term effort. 7 Implementation of Village Capital Annual 8.2 Continue addressing pedestrian facility accessibility barriers Improvement Programs through the several different Capital Improvement programs. 8 Implementation: Private Development Ongoing 8.3 Continue review of all private developments with reference to Opportunities ADA and improving overall accessibility within the community. 9 Implementation: Coordination with Ongoing 8.4 Continue coordination with other agencies (e.g. IDOT, External Agencies DuPage County) and neighboring communities on projects that improve accessibility throughout the community. 10 Documentation of Design Exceptions Ongoing 9.1 Begin documentation of instances where ADA standards cannot practicably be met at specific locations on a project, through the design stage and construction stage forms included in Exhibit 3. 11 Sidewalk Gap Mapping and Prioritization Ongoing 9.1 Reference the Village Sidewalk Gap Map for opportunities to provide new sidewalk through the existing capital improvement programs and any funding opportunities that may arise. The Activity Score Prioritization Map can help with identifying target locations for new sidewalk. 12 Review of Construction Practices Ongoing 9.1 Reference IDOT standard details and Exhibit 3 in relation to affecting Pedestrian Accessibility improving pedestrian accessibility during construction operations. 13 Sidewalk Snow Clearing Policies Ongoing 9.1 The Village currently does not have any ordinance in regard to snow clearing for sidewalks and curb ramps throughout the Village. Continue discussion on potential policies or ordinances. Exhibit 3 includes a draft policy based upon typical practices in some other communities. 14 On-Street Accessible Parking Spaces Ongoing 9.1 Evaluate the eleven locations where minimum number of accessible spaces is not currently in place and add accessible spaces as opportunities permit or as part of next construction project in the locations. Page 77 of 401 15 Downtown Railroad Crossings Ongoing 9.1 Continue monitoring conditions at the railroad crossing adjacent intersections through the downtown and keep abreast of latest design guidance and best practices for means to improve safety at these intersections in light of conflicting demands. 16 Other Village Responsibility under the Ongoing 9.1 Continue efforts to achieve full accessibility for facilities and ADA services beyond the Public Right-of-Way covered by this Plan. This includes the Village website, Village-owned buildings, and the Village Links. 17 Assessment of new pedestrian facilities Ongoing 9.6 Continue inspection of all sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, pedestrian traffic signals, and any other improvements to pedestrian facilities on public right-of-way prior to acceptance. The inspection should be completed by someone familiar with ADA requirements. Upon acceptance, Village staff should add new pedestrian assets into the existing GIS system. 18 Monitoring and tracking the plan Ongoing 9.6 Update the Village's GIS database with regard to ADA sidewalk improvements made each year. This can be incorporated into the existing year-end process of updating the overall GIS databas based upon record drawings from the year's CIP projects. 19 Potential Priority Sidewalk Segments Ongoing 9.6 As projects are completed from the Potential Priority Map Segments Map, add new projects to the map/list to maintain momentum.

Also the threshold for the salon is too high for my wheelchair to go over without help. Frank Johnson Center construction was just completed and there is a sidewalk that leads to 24 200-282 Anthony Street nowhere. This forces individuals to walk in the street. Please add a portion of missing sidewalk on Glenbard Road between Jonathan Court and Sunnybrook Road. This will ensure all the walkers and children in the neighborhood can safely walk around the block without having to walk in the street. The corner of Sunnybrook Road Glenbard Road between Jonathan Court and Glenbard Road is a blind spot for drivers and walkers. Also several small children live on 22 and Sunnybrook Roadk Glenbard Rd that walk on the street to the bus stop. 21 830 Roosevelt Road The crossing (Baker Hill and Roosevelt) should have auditory feedback for blind students. Route 53 underpass going under Route 38 has sidewalks in the middle but no way to reach State Route 53 underpass under them from all four directions. Also, it seems like nobody has swept the sidewalks for a long 19 Roosevelt Road time. There also seems to be run-off issues where mud and debris accumulate. Sidewalk on east side of Bloomingdale between Geneva and St. Charles has multiple 18 193 Glen Arbor Court mailboxes causing obstruction. Sidewalk is discontinuous in front of motor plant. One would have to walk through driveway to 17 352 Roosevelt Road navigate north side of Roosevelt in this area. 16 520 Deerpath Road Bushes encroach on sidewalk. 15 95 Carleton Avenue Pine tree branches obstruct sidewalk. Need to be trimmed. 14 436 Carleton Avenue Missing sidewalk from 442 Carleton Ave to Hillside. Dangerous as it forces kids into street. This stretch is missing sidewalk making it very dangerous for children of the neighborhood and dog walkers to get in and out of Birchbrook Ct onto or off of Marston due to the Marston Hill and the fast speeds of cars coming off of Route 53. There is a residence there on the corner and the sidewalk only needs to be completed in front of that residence and connect to the 13 Marston Avenue and Birchbrook Court sidewalk they already exists. Thank you. 12 400 S Lambert Road This designated bike path intersection is difficult to negotiate. 11 169 Newton Avenue The bush are too low over head and also need to be trimmed back. The new crosswalk near 2 Hound Red should have a pedestrian sign that blinks while users 10 488 Pennsylvania Avenue are in the crosswalk. Views are often obscured by parked cars on Pennsylvania. 9 1921 E Liberty Drive Sidewalk crossing for Ott. While there technically is a pedestrian crossing here, there is often a car parked in front of the place where you would cross, and it's also in a blind spot for cars coming up over the hill from the tunnel. Better signage or a better location, as well as parking enforcement, would help 8 441 Taylor Avenue make this spot much more safe. Documenting a request received verbally from a resident...Request for new sidewalk to close the existing sidewalk gap along Crescent Boulevard between Glen Ellyn and Lombard. Notes:-- The specific gap is between 21W325 Crescent Blvd at the west and the Crescent Blvd bridge over the E. Branch DuPage River at the east. --The existing west sidewalk is the on the south Crescent Boulevard between Glen Ellyn side of Crescent, while the existing east sidewalk is on the north side of Crescent.)--Part of 7 and Lombard this area is unincorporated No pedestrian crossing from Taft/Kingsbrook Glen to CVS/Panera, and no sidewalks to 6 Roosevelt Road and Nicoll Way navigate the parking lots.

Parking in general there is Page 85 of 401 132 westside of Lake Ellyn We reside on the west side of Lake Ellyn Park, where sidewalk accessibility on several surrounding streets is limited or, in some cases, nonexistent. This area regularly hosts large public and private events, which we value and support. However, during events at the Lake Ellyn Boathouse—including weddings, bike races, Fourth of July celebrations, and other community gatherings—and at Glenbard West High School—such as football games and graduations—the surrounding streets frequently become heavily used for parking and also serve as primary pedestrian routes for residents walking to the school and park from other parts of town. Vehicles commonly line Linden Avenue, Park Boulevard, and Forest Avenue, where pedestrians often have no continuous sidewalk on which to walk. It is particularly concerning that Linden Avenue, the primary entrance to Lake Ellyn Park, has sidewalk access on only one side of the street. In addition, the Village appears to have done a poor job of clearly establishing and maintaining its public right‑of‑way in this area, resulting in portions of the ROW being effectively absorbed into adjacent private use rather than preserved for pedestrian infrastructure. We are also concerned that the Village’s Pedestrian Activity Prioritization Map designates this area as Blue, indicating the lowest likelihood of pedestrian activity. Based on daily experience, this designation does not accurately reflect existing conditions. Lake Ellyn Park experiences significant pedestrian volumes throughout the year, and during certain events, holidays, and peak use periods, pedestrian activity is comparable to—and at times exceeds—that of the downtown area. This level of use appears inconsistent with a “low pedestrian activity” classification and does not align with observed conditions on the ground. In addition to event-related traffic, Glenbard West High School students park daily on and around these streets, further increasing pedestrian activity. On any typical school day, vehicles can be observed parked along the westbound side of Linden Avenue beyond the lake, including on segments without sidewalks. Students walking to and from Glenbard West frequently use these same streets as walking routes and are often forced to cross from one side of the street to the other due to gaps or missing sidewalk infrastructure, creating unnecessary safety risks. We have received numerous complaints from guests and event attendees regarding the lack of safe pedestrian access, particularly from older individuals and those using wheelchairs, strollers, or wagons. Handicap-accessible parking at events in this area is very limited and fills quickly,requiring individuals with mobility challenges to park farther away. As a result, they are often forced to travel within the street due to missing or incomplete sidewalks. In some locations, such as routes from Forest Avenue toward the lake, sidewalk coverage is inconsistent or available on only one side of the street, further compounding accessibility concerns. We strongly support the continued use of Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West facilities for community and school events. However, if this level of activity is to continue, it is essential that pedestrian infrastructure and ADA accessibility be reevaluated and upgraded. Improving sidewalk continuity, addressing sidewalk gaps along key pedestrian corridors, reclaiming and preserving the public right‑of‑way for its intended use, and reassessing pedestrian prioritization in this area would better align Village planning policies with actual usage patterns and help ensure public safety before an incident occurs. Please prioritize sidewalk improvements on Glenbard Road between Sunnybrook Road and Jonathan Court. This segment is a major accessibility barrier, as there is no continuous sidewalk and pedestrians—including children (one of which has a disability)—must walk in the street. This condition aligns with the Plan’s highest-severity category. The area also has meaningful pedestrian activity, including children accessing a bus stop at Glenbard and Jonathan Court, and regular neighborhood foot traffic. Safety concerns are significant due to speeding vehicles, limited visibility near the curve at Sunnybrook, and reported near-miss incidents. This location has been repeatedly identified in public input, further supporting prioritization. Based on the Plan’s criteria—severity of barrier, pedestrian activity, safety risk, and public feedback, this segment should be considered a high-priority improvement and 133 Glenbard Road west of Jonathan Court evaluated for near-term implementation. Page 86 of 401  To the Glen Ellyn ADA Transition Plan Steering Committee: I am writing in support of the ADA Transition Plan and torequest a specific improvement in the Spring Ave neighborhood. The Plan outlines "long-range strategies to make pedestrian facilities accessible to all individuals," and I believe this request fits directly within that mission. The Request:Please install accessible sidewalk pathways through Glen Oak Park and Marie Ulhorn/Presidents Park to provide direct pedestrian access to the informal cut-through routes that connect this neighborhood to Ben Franklin Elementary School.Without these pathways, residents must navigate around entire double blocks to reach those cut-throughs — adding unnecessary distance and undermining the walkability those routes are meant to provide. The Plan's own Activity Score framework awards priority to sidewalk segments near "pedestrian activity generators" such as schools and parks. This connection links two parks directly to an elementary school — exactly the kind of high-activity corridor the scoring system is designed to prioritize. The Plan also states that "providing sidewalk where it is absent may still be a Village priority depending upon local conditions and the general goal of providing pedestrian connectivity throughout the Village," and that "Coordination with the park and school districts is also a priority." I ask that the Village include these park pathways in the Sidewalk Gap Mapping and Prioritization process (Section 9.1) as it works toward full accessibility.

Thank 135 Glen Oaks Park you for your consideration! Page 87 of 401  I am writing to request that the Plan — or its associated Sidewalk Gap Map (Exhibit 6G) and Capital Improvement Program planning — specifically identify and prioritize the missing sidewalk at the east end of Crescent Boulevard near the Churchill Woods forest preserve parking area. Currently, pedestrians on this stretch of Crescent Boulevard have no sidewalk and are forced onto the road shoulder in an area where drivers are not anticipating foot traffic. This creates a genuine safety hazard and an accessibility barrier — particularly for individuals using mobility devices, who have no compliant surface to travel on. I want to highlight two reasons this location deserves priority attention: 1. Safety. The shoulder of Crescent Boulevard near the Churchill Woods parking area is not designed for pedestrian use. Drivers entering and exiting the parking lot are not expecting pedestrians in the roadway, creating dangerous conflict points that disproportionately affect people with disabilities, seniors, and anyone using a stroller or wheelchair. 2. Connectivity. The Plan notes that residents identified "lack of access to the forest preserve and other parks around the Village" as a common challenge, and that coordination with park districts is a priority. Completing the sidewalk at this location would directly address that gap — it would provide a safe, accessible connection to Churchill Woods and serve as a meaningful link to the Illinois Prairie Path in Lombard, extending the pedestrian and mobility network beyond Village boundaries. The Plan's Sidewalk Gap Map and Activity Score Prioritization Map should be used to evaluate this corridor. I urge the Village to include this location in near-term capital planning and to flag it for any applicable pedestrian infrastructure funding opportunities. Thank you for the 136 Crescent Boulevard opportunity to provide feedback. 30-Day Public Comment Period (General Comments) Comment Number Location (if any) Comment The report is thorough but to what end? Now we have a document that describes virtually inch of sidewalk in the village and make recommendations to fix every tiny flaw. The total cost of these changes is monumental and it would be a violation of village leadership to even consider such actions. Thank the consultants for their work, put the report on a shelf, and forget about it. If there is an accessibility issue, resident can bring it to the attention of the 1 village and appropriate action taken. We don't need millions of dollars to handle these issues. 2 Banks, post offices, and municipal buildings should have "accessible" doors. 3 No comment provided. 4 No comment provided. 5 Unable to view the draft plan.

This meeting is the first in a series of community engagement events to gather information about the challenges faced when walking/wheeling around the community, gather information about where residents want to walk/wheel, and help establish a vision for the future of pedestrian travel around the village. In this open-house format, there will be short presentations at 6pm and 7pm but the project team is available to answer questions throughout the meeting. Exhibits are available to allow attendees to identify existing barriers to access and identify pedestrian destinations. Representatives from the engineering consultant (Oates Associates) Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), and village staff are available to discuss the planning process with you. Why? Typical of most every community, there are currently areas of the village’s public right-of-way that are not accessible to people with disabilities and do not comply with state and federal requirements. Accessible sidewalks not only improve the quality of life for residents with disabilities but improve the useability for all users including those with strollers, children, senior citizens, and all residents. Due to the challenge of bringing the entirety of the village’s pedestrian network into compliance, the Plan will help prioritize and schedule future improvements. The transition plan serves as a tool to assist the village, building upon our long-standing commitment to improving accessibility throughout the village. How can you help with the planning process? • Share your challenges as you travel around the village • Share your thoughts on priority areas and your destinations throughout the village • Attend meetings and visit us at local events • Join the steering committee – Be part of the entire planning project and help guide the final Plan. If you are interested, please email glenellynada@oatesassociates.com. Page 116 of 401 Project Schedule The anticipated schedule for this planning process is to complete the assessment of the public right-of-way in Spring 2025, develop priorities in Summer 2025, and present the final plan to the public in late Summer 2025. A more detailed schedule can be found below. Thank you for attending!

The plan is mandated by Title II of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) passed into law on July 26, 1990, for every public entity with over fifty (50) employees. The plan will provide guidance on future construction needs to make the Village accessible to all residents. The Public Engagement Survey is intended to get public input on the pedestrian routes and travel habits of our residents and visitors. Please answer based on your experiences and challenges you face when traveling around the Village. The data generated by this survey will be used to identify priority routes and gain a better understanding of what barriers to access impact users’ ability to walk/roll around the Village.

These routes could be routes you take daily or barriers you have observed throughout the Village (e.g., sidewalk to local restaurants, access to park, or route to school): Answered: 61 Skipped: 88 # RESPONSES DATE 1 We need continuous sidewalks, walking signage, and bike lanes. 10/1/2025 5:25 PM 2 Need sidewalk on Roosevelt between Glen Ellyn and Lombard 9/28/2025 7:50 PM 3 The intersection at 53 & Sheehan, the grade on the west side of the crossing dips low and 9/28/2025 7:40 PM often has standing water, and is also makes it difficult to see pedestrians waiting to cross at the light, as the pedestrians are lower than the street level. 4 Lack of pedestrian crossing on south park bvld 9/28/2025 7:39 PM 5 Missing side walk from 901 Glenbard Rd to 941 Glenbard Rd. Several cars speed down this 9/27/2025 8:54 AM stretch of Glenbard especially when kids are walking to bus stop and walkers are out. Also there is a sharp curve in the road from Glenbard to Sunnybrook creating a dangerous blind spot for walkers, especially kids on bikes and elderly walker with visual/hearing impairment. 6 discontinuous sidewalk along Taft 9/27/2025 7:57 AM 7 Lambert Rd before Fawell St heading southbound the sidewalk is very close to the road and 9/26/2025 6:25 PM the cars fly by you really fast and can easily jump the curb and hit pedestrians. 8 There's literally no sidewalks on route 53 or in Vally View. 9/1/2025 1:27 PM 9 There is no crosswalk (boldly painted on the street surface) at Park and Crescent (west side of 8/29/2025 7:11 PM intersection) and no lighting on the southwest corner of this intersection. Crossing here ton foot to take the Metra train or crossing here on foot after getting off the train (especially at night) is dangerous and dark (no street lighting). 10 Previously mentioned-no side walk between 941 Glenbard Road to 901 Glenbard Road. There 8/16/2025 5:57 AM is a bus stop at the corner of Jonathan and Glenbard Rd that requires children to walk on the narrow street. The corner of Sunnybrook and Glenbard Rd is a dangerous blind spot for drivers who are unable to see pedestrians walking. Cars speed around the corner then floor it down Glenbard Rd. The neighborhood has tons of small elementary age children that are walking on the steer. Please add a side walk here for safety and peace of mind. 11 Not enough painted crosswalks along streets toward schools. Cars driving too fast, not fully 8/12/2025 12:23 PM stopping at stop signs, and not yielding to pedestrians, especially in the downtown area. 12 Some sidewalks are too narrow and are hard to ride one's bike on. More bike lanes would be 8/2/2025 1:43 PM ideal to help with this problem. There are no sidewalks at all for some streets. 13 Really think Village should use equipment to clear sidewalks in the winter from downtown to 7/25/2025 8:11 PM Hawthorne and Main to Glenbard West 14 Sidewalks were shaved versus they should have been replaced 7/22/2025 9:35 PM 15 N/a 7/21/2025 6:55 PM 16 Honestly the biggest issue is lack of snow removal and jerks who park their car and obstruct 7/20/2025 7:56 PM the sidewalk (one particularly annoying culprit on Hillside on the second block east of main 17 The most significant issue is homeowners blocking the sidewalks with their vehicles. I know 7/18/2025 2:09 PM this is not permitted and steps should be taken to cite/ticket those who repeatedly show a lack of consideration to walkers. 18 Trip hazards are problematic for children in strollers anywhere in the village. Sidewalks 7/17/2025 10:32 PM 1/4 Page 193 of 401  Village of Glen Ellyn ADA Evaluation and Transition Plan adjacent to the curb are also highly concerning when used by young children. Broken curb ramps near Forest/Oak are problematic. 19 Along Cumnor Avenue - Glen Oak Park and President’s Park are missing curb ramps to 7/17/2025 1:39 PM access the parks. This makes these locations difficult to access for small children on bikes/scooters and people with strollers. The Spring Avenue East neighborhood has mid-block sidewalks that are heavily utilized as a route to school. There is a gap in this sidewalk network through Glen Oak park. The spring Avenue East neighborhood has a lot of locations that are missing curb ramps or are located in illogical locations. In particular it is difficult to cross Waverly between Spring and Cumnor. Lastly, there is a gap in the sidewalk network along the East side of Spring Avenue between Waverly and Hill. This section of roadway always feels less safe when riding bikes with kids to access the Prairie Path from our neighborhood. 20 Lorraine St. between Hill and Harwarden. Uneven sidewalk. 7/16/2025 9:24 PM 21 Low hanging cottonwood limbs on southwest corner of Brandon and Illinois 7/16/2025 7:41 PM 22 Bicycle and scooter riders usage in the commercial district. 7/16/2025 4:20 PM 23 Sidewalk needs replaced on Anthony between Main st and Forest by the Churchill condos 7/15/2025 7:34 AM garage door 24 Difficulty walking on sidewalks in business areas that do not remove snow immediately after a 7/14/2025 12:33 PM snow storm especially along sidewalks leading to and along Roosevelt Road. 25 See previous response. No continuous sidewalk on Glenbard Rd between Sunnybrook and 7/14/2025 8:01 AM Jonathan. Several elementary age children walk to bus stop on the side of the road with drivers that are driving too fast. Road is also not wide so two cars passing many times go on side of road to pass when pedestrians are walking. Curve from Sunnybrook to Glenbard has blind spot and difficult for walkers and kids to travel safely 26 The temporary, round flower planters in the commercial districts are aesthetically pleasing, but 7/13/2025 8:06 PM they block the sidewalks at places — especially during outdoor dining season. The three planters placed outside fire & wine at the corner of Duane and Main create a narrow passageway with the outdoor dining table directly across from them. Consider all the families pushing children in strollers (including double strollers) in our family oriented town. 27 Drivers do not give pedestrians right of way 7/13/2025 4:01 PM 28 184 Newton resident installed a village approved pump to pour water onto the sidewalk that 7/10/2025 9:32 PM floods the sidewalk and also freezes in the winter causing school children and residents 29 Discontinued sidewalk on Montclair by the Metra lot and Hill Ave by the golf course, various 7/10/2025 9:23 PM encroachments all around town from bushes and trees, e-bikes and e-scooters 30 Whittier Ave has several areas of uneven sidewalk panels. Dangerous for wheel chairs, 7/10/2025 7:55 PM walking people, and children 31 Traffics between hill and Fairview on main - unsafe crossing, needs stop sign or stop light 7/10/2025 6:59 PM activated by crosswalk button. 32 A pedestrian crosswalk sign and signal needs to be installed at Park/Marston. Having GEPD 7/10/2025 6:53 PM sit there at arrival and dismal is not enough to keep pedestrians crossing safe. 33 Corner of Hill and Prospect heading to St. Pets, extremely steep ramp, the other side is better 7/10/2025 6:46 PM but still not good. 34 Tons of trip hazzards...almost several on every block. 7/10/2025 3:41 PM 35 This survey is somewhat rigged. The questions that require ranking assume that a big problem 7/10/2025 2:34 PM with sidewalks exists. I walk about 4 miles per week in Glen Ellyn and find the sidewalks to be very acceptable. I see sidewalks that are very serviceable marked unnecessary essarily for replacement. 36 Trip hazard on Duane St north sidewalk between Bryant & Lowell 7/10/2025 1:46 PM 37 207 Sunset has a huge crack. People walk on parkway, trip all the time, bikes have issues. It 7/10/2025 1:19 PM is the way to Sunset pool and Lincoln, but the Village doesn't fix it 38 Some downtown businesses are inaccessible to anyone in a wheelchair. Not even trying to find 6/29/2025 3:05 PM a ramp or alternate door to enter. I thought ADA covered all businesses, but apparently it does 2/4 Page 194 of 401  Village of Glen Ellyn ADA Evaluation and Transition Plan not. 39 5 corners of traffic with train tracks to get from the school to town. Sidewalks that are on an 6/19/2025 9:06 AM angle to get from town to the park. 40 Only shoveling snow to brick area. Then the brick area is harder to get out of the car and get 6/18/2025 2:17 PM wheelchair or walker out and get the person who needs it up and over the snow 41 Outdoor seating does not allow enough room to safely navigate the sidewalks. Some areas do 6/17/2025 10:38 AM not have the require width or turn around areas. 42 This project is a waste of resources. Our sidewalks are perfectly adequate and in substantial 6/12/2025 8:24 AM compliance with ADA requirements. 43 Barriers: no sidewalks/bike paths to destinations (e.g., retail, parks, commerce, etc.) 6/1/2025 11:00 PM 44 The sidewalks are fine and don’t need work 6/1/2025 6:57 AM 45 Very uneven sidewalks on Crescent between Main and Forest on the north side of the street 5/29/2025 2:59 PM 46 The Roosevelt rd sidewalks are poor quality, feel very unsafe, and there are gaps in some 5/28/2025 10:09 PM places. There is also poor connectivity in some places such as Exmoor which could have a pedestrian entrance to the Binnys/TJ’s shopping center but doesn’t. Also, all neighborhoods north of newton park are cut off from easy foot access because none of the culdesacs connect between Fairview and revere - the village really needs to acquire an easement and build a sidewalk between those two streets. All Roosevelt Rd intersections- institute automatic pedestrian signaling (no button push required) with pedestrian signal leading green light to protect peds from drivers turning right. Pedestrian countdown timers should match when the signals turn yellow. 47 a lake forms every time it rains at Glenwood and Arlington - and we've asked the village for 5/28/2025 8:05 PM years to fix it- nothing 48 Spring Ave neighborhood does not have continuous sidewalks to get through the parks from 5/28/2025 7:44 PM the so-called "secret sidewalks". Very minimal to no access points into parks from the street. 49 1)Poor condition of sidewalks along Taylor Ave (north of underpass) along with inadequate 5/28/2025 6:22 PM lighting. 2) The crescent blvd/park blvd intersection is the most dangerous intersection in GE. Very risky for pedestrians 50 While attempting to encourage use of public transportation I see little attention being given to 5/28/2025 4:32 PM those who must use public transportation in wintertime. Sidewalks along Roosevelt road run through parking lots at times, which adds to the difficulty in attempting to use them. Businesses in the Village should be required to provide a sidewalk from the public sidewalk through their parking lots. (Example - GE Clinic entrance on Western Ave requires you to take your life into your own hands as cars arriving and departing do NOT provide space to walk). There are other examples also. 51 In the winter, snowplows block access to sidewalks by piles of snow at the corners. 5/28/2025 3:12 PM 52 People don’t shovel snow and ice from the sidewalks in front of their homes 5/28/2025 2:07 PM 53 Thank you for considering these improvements. It is very difficult and dangerous to cross 5/28/2025 1:59 PM Lorraine street between Chesterfield and Kenilworth avenue. This is a VERY dangerous, angled road with fast cars, no pedestrian sign, no crosswalk and no stop sign. Multiple children cross this road to go to Lincoln school daily..... we are in the walk zone to school and this area really needs support for our children. Please consider some signage or traffic control for this intersection 54 I really don't think we have a problem 5/28/2025 1:46 PM 55 There is no crossing going from the Philip J. Rock Center to the Baker Hill shopping center. I 5/27/2025 2:13 PM work with deaf blind kids and we are forced to drive them across the street to go to Pete's and Learning Express. 56 Newton Ave/Manor Woods: bushes located by the first house where the woods end on the 5/24/2025 9:37 PM north side need to be trimmed back. Every spring I have trouble walking the side walk because the branches stick out over the side walk at eye level. I have to duck to have them clear my head and pay attention that I don’t get stuck in the eye with them. 3/4 Page 195 of 401  Village of Glen Ellyn ADA Evaluation and Transition Plan 57 Cars blocking side walks while parked in driveway. 5/24/2025 3:50 PM 58 There should be a safe way to cross nicoll way from Kingsbrook Glen into CVS and Panera 5/24/2025 2:45 PM Bread as well as sidewalks and walkways through the parking lots.

Discussion items from the meeting are in bold. PAGE 1 OF 3 Page 204 of 401  Meeting Agenda Agenda: • Status Update o Public engagement survey has been rolled out o Data collection has been completed – 99% complete; just need to pick up a few spots. Once complete, processing will occur and at the next meeting we will go over the draft data. o Draft pedestrian generators – no comments ▪ Plan future improvements throughout the village • Public engagement survey roll-out –survey will be available for at least 90 days o Discussion on questions ▪ Q4 & 5 read similarly-one focus on person with disability, the other on caregiver – the general agreement was that both are relevant and serve separate groups and should stay as is. ▪ Q8 – does anyone have concern about having Pace and Metra in same question, or should they have their own? All agreed they could stay combined. Should Paratransit be included? No, since it focuses more on curb to curb instead of intersections on Pace and Metra lines. But could add some blanks for origin and destination trips. ▪ Q13 & 14 will provide critical data for the team since it will show what the village considers most important to address. Layering this data with the collection data will help the team determine priorities. ▪ Any questions that weren’t on the survey that needs to be? No o Maximizing impact ▪ Additional ways to share survey • For anyone interested in helping get the word out – draft language can be provided so that people can use it on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc. • Hard copies should be delivered to the Assisted Living facilities • After village approval, the flyer will be ready to roll out • Glen Ellyn puts out a newsletter – info about the survey could be added there • Large print hard copies should be provided to the two senior centers – one ran by park district (better attended), and one ran by village • Consider tactile diagrams for outreach ▪ Upcoming community events o Assignments to get hard copies throughout the village – will follow up with Chris, Michael and Dan to get them media to distribute to their networks o Will meet separately with schools to get their input • Draft pedestrian generators o Review of pedestrian generator types PAGE 2 OF 3 Page 205 of 401  Meeting Agenda ▪ Schools – currently, all are treated equally in data. Issue? Village thought may need tweaking because they are aware of some schools with higher population driving to school than others. ▪ Village Links/Public Works building– considered walking destinations? No. • Winchell Way – how much maintained by village? Village will investigate • Southern part of village will have priorities more along routes than destinations ▪ Parks – currently parks are treated the same – thoughts? Most parks with little parking is by design to encourage walking. • Spring Avenue Rec Center has summer programs that include kids on bikes; need to have a separate conversation with Nate. • Ackerman Park and Forest Preserve – any access points from neighborhoods? No. • Swift Rd into Forest Preserve – parking near there • St Charles tunnel to Forest Preserve – used for cars and bikes; cars rarely seem to use it ▪ Government buildings ▪ Commercial districts Park District is proposing extension south of Prairie Path Park – plans include year-round attractions; will be high traffic generator ▪ Tunnel at Taylor is heavily used by pedestrians ▪ No crossings on the west side of town; westernmost is at Prospect ▪ Public transportation ▪ Anything else we are missing – traffic signal needed at Ackermann Park as it is conduit to other trails o Prioritization on different generator types o Impact of traffic signals and crossing guards - for downtown, priorities will be placed on traffic signals to encourage ped traffic to them o Discussion on high priority routes and future prioritization efforts • Open discussion on accessibility throughout the village o Discussion on scooters as a means of travel on sidewalks - it is increasing in popularity –village just approved ordinances to include scooters and is in ongoing discussions about what else needs to be done. • Future meetings – anticipated in mid-June Exhibits to Updated map of draft pedestrian traffic generators Follow: Sample language to distribute public engagement survey Flyers and social media information to share public engagement survey If you require accommodations to participate in the meeting, please contact Travis Helmkamp, project manager at Oates Associates at travis.helmkamp@oatesassociates.com or (618) 975- 9133 before the meeting so reasonable accommodations can be discussed.

Discussion items from the meeting are in bold. PAGE 1 OF 4 Page 207 of 401  Meeting Minutes Agenda: • Status Update o Public engagement survey has been rolled out ▪ The survey has been shared by the Village through e-newsletter (70% open rate), posted on the Village website, and social media ▪ The survey will be included in the Village newsletter that will be sent out in mid-July ▪ In conjunction with the Village newsletter the survey will be readded to the Village website and social media ▪ Oates will prepare postcards to be sent to targeted individuals where we want to make sure they can respond ▪ Oates will coordinate with Parks District, Metra, local businesses, etc. to get flyers throughout the community • Oates will let the Village know the exact timing once it has been finalized o Data collection has been completed ▪ All sidewalks, curb ramps, pedestrian traffic signals, and crosswalk data have been collected. ▪ DeepWalk is currently processing the sidewalk and curb ramp data (approximately 20% complete) ▪ Oates will send over a section of processed data to Sarah to test integration and compatibility o Pedestrian generators have been revised ▪ Revised based on guidance from the last steering committee meeting o Draft prioritization has been developed ▪ The draft prioritization scores every asset in the Village equally. It is normal to revise and prioritize particular assets and roadways based on priorities. • Revised pedestrian generators o Review pedestrian generators based on steering committee feedback • Draft prioritization o Review of the prioritization map ▪ The draft prioritization map is based on past feedback. The prioritization map will continue to evolve as the Village changes. o Current priorities based on draft map ▪ Downtown Lemont ▪ Stacy’s Corner (Main Street and St. Charles Road) ▪ Roosevelt Road, Main Street and Park Boulevard are priorities but not as high a priority based on previous feedback, a map was presented on results. o Methodology ▪ Oates identified assets throughout the Village that generate pedestrian traffic (either draws pedestrians or has a high volume of pedestrians) Example include: • Schools • Parks • Government buildings (Civic Center, Library, Post Office, etc.) PAGE 2 OF 4 Page 208 of 401  Meeting Minutes ▪ A circle, buffer area, was drawn around each asset with scoring assigned to estimate pedestrian traffic may be present around this location. • For example, 1/10th mile and 1/4th mile circle were drawn around each school. The 1/10th mile buffer area was assigned a score of 10 and the 1/4th mile buffer area was assigned a score of 5 since it is estimated that there will be more pedestrian activity the closer you get to the school. ▪ All the scores for the various generators and community assets were summed together and represented on a map, see attached, with those areas of the village in yellow representing the highest probability of heavy pedestrian traffic and those areas in blue representing the lowest probability of heavy pedestrian traffic. ▪ It is anticipated that the prioritization scoring will be revised as part of this meeting. o Steering committee thoughts on prioritization ▪ Roosevelt Road is underrepresented as a priority within the Village. Due to the high volume of traffic, over 35,000 vehicles per day, and the proximity of the sidewalk there is a safety element along Roosevelt Road that is currently not represented in the prioritization map. Oates will revise the scoring system to place a higher priority on Roosevelt Road. ▪ Add a score for park features to greater prioritize parks that have a key Village asset • Sunset Park • Maryknoll Park • Ackerman Park • Spring Avenue Recreation Center ▪ Increase the prioritization of schools ▪ Oates will investigate more data on PACE bus usage. o Discuss impact of priorities o Potential modification to priorities ▪ Oates will revise the prioritization map based on feedback and send out to the steering committee. o Discuss functionality of prioritization map o Does this provide a clear vision? ▪ This is the beginning of the conversation. Looking for input to guide the prioritization so that it fits the needs of Glen Ellyn o A question was asked as to whether the map will consider pins provided by the public on the webpage? ▪ Yes, they will be incorporated into the map but do not currently drive prioritization. • Draft data collection results o Review of draft sidewalk and curb ramp assessment ▪ The next steering committee meeting will spend more time with the field data collection and the prioritization associated with that data. • Open discussion on accessibility throughout the village o DuPage County recently approved the Safety Action Plan (Safe Streets for All) that identifies roadways that have a high number of Vulnerable PAGE 3 OF 4 Page 209 of 401  Meeting Minutes Road Users (VRU). This data will be incorporated into the plan and prioritization map. o The ADA plan should be sensitive to the improving south of Roosevelt even though there may not be as many generators as north of Roosevelt. There is a perception that this side of the village does not get as much attention to issues as the north part of the village does. • Future meetings o Next meeting in late July to review draft final priorities Attachments: • Draft Prioritization Map PAGE 4 OF 4 Page 210 of 401  Collinsville St. Louis Belleville St. Charles Meeting Minutes Date: November 7th, 2025 OA Project #: 224124 Time: 9:00AM Location: Virtual Project: Village of Glen Ellyn ADA Transition Plan Subject: Meeting #4 for Steering Committee Attendees: Committee Member Attendance Nate Troia Dave Scarmardo Ron Henson Marta McCullough Bonnie Jordan X Michael Brynda Dave Evans X Ron Beaumont Lisa Ulm Yvonne Houghtaling X Chris Rose X Dan Leahy Dawn Smith Claudia Thornton X John McDonald X Mark Stauber Maheen Ahmed X Bryce Corrigan X Richard Daubert (Glen Ellyn) X Derek Peebles (Glen Ellyn) X Grant Paplauskas (Glen Ellyn) X Sarah Kozal (sub to Glen Ellyn) Ellen McKenna (Glen Ellyn) Steven Warner George Perkins-Anene (CMAP) X Travis Helmkamp (Oates Associates) X Karen Geldert (Oates Associates) X Discussion: Thank you for your willingness to assist the village in developing the best possible ADA Transition Plan. This is the fourth of five (5) planned meetings throughout the planning process to gather feedback and improve the final product. The scope of work of this ADA Transition Plan is limited to sidewalks, curb ramps, etc. on public right-of-way but there will be time allowed at the end of the meeting to discuss any additional talking points regarding accessibility throughout the village. PAGE 1 OF 3 Page 211 of 401  Meeting Minutes Agenda: • Review findings and draft priorities o Not as far as we’d like to be; will be adding a fifth steering committee meeting to present final product o Intention will be to have you review final plan before it goes out to the public for their review and to the Board for their approval. o Last month – Oates has met with 15-20 individuals to get one-on-one feedback from residents about their personal experiences; monitored where in the village the residents discussed so that we have a representative sample of the entirety of the village. o Current survey participant numbers are around 145; 50 people have accessed the website to pin locations with issues – survey is still open o Feedback on Roosevelt Road is that it does not currently have a lot of pedestrian traffic but feel that the demand is there, but people feel it isn’t safe to walk down because the road is busy and the sidewalk is right next to the roadway. Does the committee agree? Yes. ▪ Maheen witnessed and has ridden herself on a bike down Roosevelt and it is not safe. ▪ Rich offered that he bikes a lot in the village and walks on Roosevelt and agrees it’s not safe. He has noticed that there are long stretches between controlled intersections for crossing. ▪ Bonnie stated that IDOT currently has sidewalks shut down on Roosevelt by her school and the deaf and blind students aren’t able to practice independent transportation while it is. They have to be driven to destinations which defeats the purpose of teaching independent transit and transportation skills. It would be nice for them to be able to access the mall that’s across the street in some safe capacity. Staff feels the same way about crossing Roosevelt. ▪ Chris said that Roosevelt Road is a very important corridor for Pace because Route 301 operates along that corridor. It is a challenge for riders to use that service. Route 301 is a route with higher ridership. Pace has recently increased service hours on the weekends and offered free ridership to ADA paratransit individuals. With all this increase in ridership, it would only make sense that individuals have sidewalk connections to their Pace bus stops. ▪ Yvonne reminded the group about the circle communities apartments going up and they will be affecting the traffic on Roosevelt Road. Travis agreed and has been accounted for in the data. o The village has recently secured funding for the preliminary and final design engineering for the whole of Roosevelt Rd within the village limits. It was stressed that this does not mean construction funding. o Roosevelt Rd will have a large part in the plan, but it will not be the only focus of the plan. o The three way stops at four legged intersections near the railroad tracks are a safety concern. It would be helpful for the blind or visually impaired students to have some sort of sound system to help them safely cross the street; they have them in Chicago. Drivers need to be educated PAGE 2 OF 3 Page 212 of 401  Meeting Minutes about going through these intersections as well. People have suggested traffic signals at these locations, but the village has investigated this and the proximity of the tracks to the intersection are not conducive. o IDOT has a resurfacing project at Baker Hill Drive and Route 53, and the village has encouraged them to incorporate pedestrian signals there. o There is a project for the East Branch DuPage River Trail that is investigating providing a 10 ft path on the east side of Route 53 between Roosevelt Road and Butterfield. o Travis presented the map that the team is currently working on. The map is color coded and sorts out the best and most challenging sidewalk with blue being best and red being most challenging. This information will ultimately go to the village and they can add it to their GIS system to keep a running tab of what gets reconstructed as time goes on. o Travis emphasized that the plan is to provide guidance to the village about higher priority areas withing the village, but it does not direct the village to spend a specific amount of money on sidewalks every year. • Next steps o Presentation to village officials ▪ CMAP will see the plan first, then the village, then the steering committee, then the general public ▪ Most likely Oates will present the project to the Board before coming back for final Board approval o Community meetings – ways to maximize involvement ▪ Maheen was concerned about the low number of people that have taken the survey. Travis said that unfortunately, ADA plans don’t draw a lot of participation. But this is a fluid document, and participation is a snapshot in time. Comments before and after have been and will be considered. o Public Comment Period – 30 days o Final Board Approval – following 30-day public comment period • Open discussion on accessibility throughout the village • Future meetings o Meeting in December/January to discuss community feedback and final comments Attachments: If you require accommodations to participate in the meeting, please contact Travis Helmkamp, project manager at Oates Associates at travis.helmkamp@oatesassociates.com or (618) 975- 9133 before the meeting so reasonable accommodations can be discussed.

These interviews were held with 14 different individuals, but their identities and comments by a particular individual will be kept confidential. Generally, the interviews were similar in that the people were asked variations of the following questions: 1. Where do you walk? 2. What issues have you noticed? 3. Have you ever contacted City staff? 4. If yes, how was the responsiveness? 5. Where do you notice heavy pedestrian traffic? 6. Any suggestions for improvements? Item 1/Item 5: Generally, the interviewees walked where generators were predicted to be: downtown, Roosevelt Road, train station, the library, Lake Ellyn, on Main north of downtown, forest preserve, schools, Prairie Path, Sunset Park, tunnel, Blackberry Market, Newton Park, Baker Hill, Pennsylvania Avenue. Item 2: Issues discussed were lack of sidewalk access during construction, not enough accessible parking downtown, vertical displacements, garbage cans on sidewalks, cars parked in driveways block sidewalk, accessible parking at train station is far from entrance, Prairie Path and Main Street is dangerous (no stop sign on south leg), lack of sidewalk in newer subdivisions, access to forest preserve, Maryknoll Park are not good, crossing IL 53 not safe, drivers not being mindful of pedestrians, sidewalks near Park Elementary were fixed but still a problem, hard to cross Roosevelt Road – will avoid Park or Main and choose Nicoll Way, crossing Baker Hill, avoids N Ellyn Road and Crescent because it’s too dangerous, sidewalk immediately behind the curb is not conducive to walking, there are obstacles in the pedestrian access routes that keep wheelchair users from passing, and there are trucks that block alleys which keep wheelchair users from getting out of the parking lot . Item 3/Item 4: The interviewees had answers varying from no, to yes and they were responsive, to yes, but they were not responsive. Most interviewees had reached out to the village, and most that had said their experience was a positive one. Page 215 of 401  November 18, 2025, Memorandum to Village of Glen Ellyn MEMORANDUM Item 6; The interviewees had several suggestions such as adding more way finding increasing communication between schools and neighbors around schools, enforcement of e-bike usage is a big issue and was voiced by many interviewees, add more pedestrian signage, keep sidewalks clean, add pedestrian traffic signals, the village needs to do a better job responding to SeeClickFix website problems, and Glen Ellyn should lower their village wide speed limit to 25 mph. Exhibit 3-2 Page 216 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN APPENDIX A.5 30-DAY PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT FEEDBACK Page 217 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN A.5 PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT PERIOD The ADA requires public entities to make the Plan available for public review during a citizen review period. The Plan was made available for public review and comment from March 4 th to April 10th on the project website, The Village of Glen Ellyn Accessible Communities Plan | Engage with CMAP. The Village provided links to the Plan, posted on social media, and a community meeting was held on March 18th to allow interested parties to provide in-person comments to the project team and Village staff. Although the public comment period has ended, any resident or visitor who wishes to provide feedback on pedestrian accessibility in the Village can contact the ADA Coordinator or the Public Works Department at any time. A total of 8 comments were received with responses in bold. • Newtown Park only has a few handicapped parking spaces. It is impossible to venture to fields in the middle of the park. A drop-off circle in front of the building with more handicapped parking could help to solve this issue for many grandparents. Parking there in general is horrible. o The additional parking discussed would be located on land owned by the Park District. The Park District has been a partner throughout the development of the Plan and this information has been passed on to them. • We reside on the west side of Lake Ellyn Park, where sidewalk accessibility on several surrounding streets is limited or, in some cases, nonexistent. This area regularly hosts large public and private events, which we value and support. However, during events at the Lake Ellyn Boathouse—including weddings, bike races, Fourth of July celebrations, and other community gatherings—and at Glenbard West High School—such as football games and graduations—the surrounding streets frequently become heavily used for parking and also serve as primary pedestrian routes for residents walking to the school and park from other parts of town. Vehicles commonly line Linden Avenue, Park Boulevard, and Forest Avenue, where pedestrians often have no continuous sidewalk on which to walk. It is particularly concerned that Linden Avenue, the primary entrance to Lake Ellyn Park, has sidewalk access on only one side of the street. In addition, the Village appears to have done a poor job of clearly establishing and maintaining its public right‑of‑way in this area, resulting in portions of the ROW being effectively absorbed into adjacent private use rather than preserved for pedestrian infrastructure. We are also concerned that the Village’s Pedestrian Activity Prioritization Map designates this area as Blue, indicating the lowest likelihood of pedestrian activity. Based on daily experience, this designation does not accurately reflect existing conditions. Lake Ellyn Park experiences significant pedestrian volumes throughout the year, and during certain events, holidays, and peak use periods, pedestrian activity is comparable to—and at times exceeds—that of the downtown area. This level of use appears inconsistent with a “low pedestrian activity” classification and does not align with observed conditions on the ground. In addition to event-related traffic, Glenbard West High School students park daily on and around these streets, further increasing pedestrian activity. On any APPENDIX A.5-1 Page 218 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN typical school day, vehicles can be observed parked along the westbound side of Linden Avenue beyond the lake, including on segments without sidewalks. Students walking to and from Glenbard West frequently use these same streets as walking routes and are often forced to cross from one side of the street to the other due to gaps or missing sidewalk infrastructure, creating unnecessary safety risks. We have received numerous complaints from guests and event attendees regarding the lack of safe pedestrian access, particularly from older individuals and those using wheelchairs, strollers, or wagons. Handicap-accessible parking at events in this area is very limited and fills quickly, requiring individuals with mobility challenges to park farther away. As a result, they are often forced to travel within the street due to missing or incomplete sidewalks. In some locations, such as routes from Forest Avenue toward the lake, sidewalk coverage is inconsistent or available on only one side of the street, further compounding accessibility concerns. We strongly support the continued use of Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West facilities for community and school events. However, if this level of activity is to continue, it is essential that pedestrian infrastructure and ADA accessibility be reevaluated and upgraded. Improving sidewalk continuity, addressing sidewalk gaps along key pedestrian corridors, reclaiming and preserving the public right‑of‑way for its intended use, and reassessing pedestrian prioritization in this area would better align Village planning policies with actual usage patterns and help ensure public safety before an incident occurs. o The desire for pedestrian facilities along several street on the west side of Lake Ellyn has been identified by the public through the community survey and Engage HQ website. This segment has been identified within the Plan, but the addition of sidewalk facilities will require additional study including coordination with neighboring property owners. • Please prioritize sidewalk improvements on Glenbard Road between Sunnybrook Road and Jonathan Court. This segment is a major accessibility barrier, as there is no continuous sidewalk and pedestrians, including children (one of which has a disability)— must walk in the street. This condition aligns with the Plan’s highest-severity category. The area also has meaningful pedestrian activity, including children accessing a bus stop at Glenbard and Jonathan Court, and regular neighborhood foot traffic. Safety concerns are significant due to speeding vehicles, limited visibility near the curve at Sunnybrook, and reported near-miss incidents. This location has been repeatedly identified in public input, further supporting prioritization. Based on the Plan’s criteria—severity of barrier, pedestrian activity, safety risk, and public feedback, this segment should be considered a high-priority improvement and evaluated for near-term implementation. o The desire for sidewalk improvements on Glenbard Road east of Jonathon Court has been identified by the public through the community survey and Engage HQ website. This segment has been identified within the Plan but the addition of sidewalk facilities will require additional study including coordination with neighboring property owners. • To the Glen Ellyn ADA Transition Plan Steering Committee: I am writing in support of the ADA Transition Plan and request a specific improvement in the Spring Ave APPENDIX A.5-2 Page 219 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN neighborhood. The Plan outlines "long-range strategies to make pedestrian facilities accessible to all individuals," and I believe this request fits directly within that mission. The Request: Please install accessible sidewalk pathways through Glen Oak Park and Marie Ulhorn/Presidents Park to provide direct pedestrian access to the informal cut- through routes that connect this neighborhood to Ben Franklin Elementary School. Without these pathways, residents must navigate around entire double blocks to reach those cut-throughs — adding unnecessary distance and undermining the walkability those routes are meant to provide. The Plan's own Activity Score framework awards priority to sidewalk segments near "pedestrian activity generators" such as schools and parks. This connection links two parks directly to an elementary school — exactly the kind of high-activity corridor the scoring system is designed to prioritize. The Plan also states that "providing sidewalk where it is absent may still be a Village priority depending upon local conditions and the general goal of providing pedestrian connectivity throughout the Village," and that "Coordination with the park and school districts is also a priority." I ask that the Village include these park pathways in the Sidewalk Gap Mapping and Prioritization process (Section 9.1) as it works toward full accessibility. Thank you for your consideration! o The pathways discussed would be located on land owned by the Park District. The Park District has been a partner throughout the development of the Plan and this information has been passed on to them. • I am writing to request that the Plan — or its associated Sidewalk Gap Map (Exhibit 6G) and Capital Improvement Program planning — specifically identify and prioritize the missing sidewalk at the east end of Crescent Boulevard near the Churchill Woods forest preserve parking area. Currently, pedestrians on this stretch of Crescent Boulevard have no sidewalk and are forced onto the road shoulder in an area where drivers are not anticipating foot traffic. This creates a genuine safety hazard and an accessibility barrier — particularly for individuals using mobility devices, who have no compliant surface to travel on. I want to highlight two reasons this location deserves priority attention: 1. Safety. The shoulder of Crescent Boulevard near the Churchill Woods parking area is not designed for pedestrian use. Drivers entering and exiting the parking lot are not expecting pedestrians in the roadway, creating dangerous conflict points that disproportionately affect people with disabilities, seniors, and anyone using a stroller or wheelchair. 2. Connectivity. The Plan notes that residents identified "lack of access to the forest preserve and other parks around the Village" as a common challenge, and that coordination with park districts is a priority. Completing the sidewalk at this location would directly address that gap — it would provide a safe, accessible connection to Churchill Woods and serve as a meaningful link to the Illinois Prairie Path in Lombard, extending the pedestrian and mobility network beyond Village boundaries. The Plan's Sidewalk Gap Map and Activity Score Prioritization Map should be used to evaluate this corridor. I urge the Village to include this location in near-term capital planning and to flag it for any applicable pedestrian infrastructure funding opportunities. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback. APPENDIX A.5-3 Page 220 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN o The portion of Crescent Boulevard discussed is located outside the Village limits. However, the Village has noted this request and will keep it in mind as part of any future multi-agency projects discussed along Crescent Boulevard as well as regular coordination with neighboring agencies. • The report is thorough but to what end? Now we have a document that describes virtually inch of sidewalk in the village and make recommendations to fix every tiny flaw. The total cost of these changes is monumental, and it would be a violation of village leadership to even consider such actions. Thank the consultants for their work, put the report on a shelf, and forgetting about it. If there is an accessibility issue, residents can bring it to the attention of the village and appropriate action taken. We don't need millions of dollars to handle these issues. o The response is noted. • Banks, post offices, and municipal buildings should have "accessible" doors. o This is outside the scope of this ADA Transition Plan but there are state and federal requirements to provide doors that meet minimum ADA requirements. Interested parties should coordinate directly with the business, including Village staff regarding municipal buildings. • Unable to view the draft plan. It says that it is not available for public viewing. o It was confirmed that the plan was available for public viewing.

It is impossible to venture to fields in the middle of the park. A drop off circle in front of the building with more handicapped parking could help to solve this issue for many grandparents. Parking in general there is horrible. Page 223 of 401  Respondent No: 2 Responded At: Mar 08, 2026 22:32:18 pm Login: Anonymous Last Seen: Mar 08, 2026 22:32:18 pm Email: n/a IP Address: n/a Q1. Do you have any comments or feedback on the draft plan that you would like to share? The report is thorough but to what end? Now we have a document that describes virtually inch of sidewalk in the village and makes recommendations to fix every tiny flaw. The total cost of these changes is monumental and it would be a violation of village leadership to even consider such actions. Thank the consultants for their work, put the report on a shelf, and forget about it. Q2. Do you want to share anything else with the project team about accessibility throughout the Village? If there is an accessibility issue, resident can bring it to the attention of the village and appropriate action taken. We don't need millions of dollars to handle these issues.

Do you have any comments or feedback on the draft plan that you would like to share? We reside on the west side of Lake Ellyn Park, where sidewalk accessibility on several surrounding streets is limited or, in some cases, nonexistent. This area regularly hosts large public and private events, which we value and support. However, during events at the Lake Ellyn Boathouse—including weddings, bike races, Fourth of July celebrations, and other community gatherings—and at Glenbard West High School—such as football games and graduations—the surrounding streets frequently become heavily used for parking and also serve as primary pedestrian routes for residents walking to the school and park from other parts of town. Vehicles commonly line Linden Avenue, Park Boulevard, and Forest Avenue, where pedestrians often have no continuous sidewalk on which to walk. It is particularly concerning that Linden Avenue, the primary entrance to Lake Ellyn Park, has sidewalk access on only one side of the street. In addition, the Village appears to have done a poor job of clearly establishing and maintaining its public right‑of‑way in this area, resulting in portions of the ROW being effectively absorbed into adjacent private use rather than preserved for pedestrian infrastructure. We are also concerned that the Village’s Pedestrian Activity Prioritization Map designates this area as Blue, indicating the lowest likelihood of pedestrian activity. Based on daily experience, this designation does not accurately reflect existing conditions. Lake Ellyn Park experiences significant pedestrian volumes throughout the year, and during certain events, holidays, and peak use periods, pedestrian activity is comparable to—and at times exceeds—that of the downtown area. This level of use appears inconsistent with a “low pedestrian activity” classification and does not align with observed conditions on the ground. In addition to event-related traffic, Glenbard West High School students park daily on and around these streets, further increasing pedestrian activity. On any typical school day, vehicles can be observed parked along the westbound side of Linden Avenue beyond the lake, including on segments without sidewalks. Students walking to and from Glenbard West frequently use these same streets as walking routes and are often forced to cross from one side of the street to the other due to gaps or missing sidewalk infrastructure, creating unnecessary safety risks. We have received numerous complaints from guests and event attendees regarding the lack of safe pedestrian access, particularly from older individuals and those using wheelchairs, strollers, or wagons. Handicap-accessible parking at events in this area is very limited and fills quickly, requiring individuals with mobility challenges to park farther away. As a result, they are often forced to travel within the street due to missing or incomplete sidewalks. In some locations, such as routes from Forest Avenue toward the lake, sidewalk coverage is inconsistent or available on only one side of the street, further compounding accessibility concerns. We strongly support the continued use of Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West facilities for community and school events. However, if this level of activity is to continue, it is essential that pedestrian infrastructure and ADA accessibility be reevaluated and upgraded. Improving sidewalk continuity, addressing sidewalk gaps along key pedestrian corridors, reclaiming and preserving the public right‑of‑way for its intended use, and reassessing pedestrian prioritization in this area would better align Village planning policies with actual usage patterns and help ensure public safety before an incident occurs.

Do you have any comments or feedback on the draft plan that you would like to share? Please prioritize sidewalk improvements on Glenbard Road between Sunnybrook Road and Jonathan Court. This segment is a major accessibility barrier, as there is no continuous sidewalk and pedestrians—including children (one of which has a disability)—must walk in the street. This condition aligns with the Plan’s highest-severity category. The area also has meaningful pedestrian activity, including children accessing a bus stop at Glenbard and Jonathan Court, and regular neighborhood foot traffic. Safety concerns are significant due to speeding vehicles, limited visibility near the curve at Sunnybrook, and reported near-miss incidents. This location has been repeatedly identified in public input, further supporting prioritization. Based on the Plan’s criteria—severity of barrier, pedestrian activity, safety risk, and public feedback —this segment should be considered a high-priority improvement and evaluated for near-term implementation.

Do you have any comments or feedback on the draft plan that you would like to share? To the Glen Ellyn ADA Transition Plan Steering Committee: I am writing in support of the ADA Transition Plan and to request a specific improvement in the Spring Ave neighborhood. The Plan outlines "long-range strategies to make pedestrian facilities accessible to all individuals," and I believe this request fits directly within that mission. The Request: Please install accessible sidewalk pathways through Glen Oak Park and Marie Ulhorn/Presidents Park to provide direct pedestrian access to the informal cut-through routes that connect this neighborhood to Ben Franklin Elementary School. Without these pathways, residents must navigate around entire double blocks to reach those cut-throughs — adding unnecessary distance and undermining the walkability those routes are meant to provide. The Plan's own Activity Score framework awards priority to sidewalk segments near "pedestrian activity generators" such as schools and parks. This connection links two parks directly to an elementary school — exactly the kind of high-activity corridor the scoring system is designed to prioritize. The Plan also states that "providing sidewalk where it is absent may still be a Village priority depending upon local conditions and the general goal of providing pedestrian connectivity throughout the Village," and that "Coordination with the park and school districts is also a priority." I ask that the Village include these park pathways in the Sidewalk Gap Mapping and Prioritization process (Section 9.1) as it works toward full accessibility. Thank you for your consideration! Q2.

Do you have any comments or feedback on the draft plan that you would like to share? I am writing to request that the Plan — or its associated Sidewalk Gap Map (Exhibit 6G) and Capital Improvement Program planning — specifically identify and prioritize the missing sidewalk at the east end of Crescent Boulevard near the Churchill Woods forest preserve parking area. Currently, pedestrians on this stretch of Crescent Boulevard have no sidewalk and are forced onto the road shoulder in an area where drivers are not anticipating foot traffic. This creates a genuine safety hazard and an accessibility barrier — particularly for individuals using mobility devices, who have no compliant surface to travel on. I want to highlight two reasons this location deserves priority attention: 1. Safety. The shoulder of Crescent Boulevard near the Churchill Woods parking area is not designed for pedestrian use. Drivers entering and exiting the parking lot are not expecting pedestrians in the roadway, creating dangerous conflict points that disproportionately affect people with disabilities, seniors, and anyone using a stroller or wheelchair. 2. Connectivity. The Plan notes that residents identified "lack of access to the forest preserve and other parks around the Village" as a common challenge, and that coordination with park districts is a priority. Completing the sidewalk at this location would directly address that gap — it would provide a safe, accessible connection to Churchill Woods and serve as a meaningful link to the Illinois Prairie Path in Lombard, extending the pedestrian and mobility network beyond Village boundaries. The Plan's Sidewalk Gap Map and Activity Score Prioritization Map should be used to evaluate this corridor. I urge the Village to include this location in near-term capital planning and to flag it for any applicable pedestrian infrastructure funding opportunities. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback. Q2.

The data provided by DeepWalk was used to develop a unique scoring system based on the specific priorities of the Village. The following 4 criteria were collected at each sidewalk segment. The point values for each unique deficiency are listed below and used in the equation list in Section 6.6. The lower the point value the greater the impact on pedestrian traffic. B.3.(a).1 Sidewalk Width Narrow sidewalks limit pedestrian mobility along circulation paths and can create dangerous passing situations, especially for individuals using wheelchairs or walkers. The sidewalk width is based on the physical space available for traversing the sidewalk and does not take into consideration whether the limitation is permanent (e.g., sidewalk constructed at 36” in width) or temporary (e.g., excessive bush growth limits the clear width of the sidewalk to 36” in width). The Plan assigned point values based on the average width of the sidewalk across the section. Sidewalk widths were measured at each respective sidewalk panel as is available for Village use. Sidewalk Width Point Value <36” (Extreme) 1 36” – 40” (Severe) 2 40” – 42” (Moderate) 3 42” – 48” (Minor) 4 >48” (No barrier) 5 Table B3a1: Sidewalk Width Activity Score B.3(a).2 Cross Slope Cross slope refers to the slope measured perpendicular to the direction of travel. When the cross slope exceeds maximum ADA guidelines, it can make it difficult for wheelchair users to maintain lateral balance, especially on downhill paths. We evaluated cross slope conditions to identify areas where accessibility may be compromised and assigned point values accordingly. The Plan assigned point values based on the average cross slope of the sidewalk across the section. Sidewalk cross slopes were measured at each respective sidewalk panel as is available for Village use. Cross Slope Point Value >5% 1 4% - 5% 2 2.5% - 4% 3 <2.5% 4 Table B3a2: Sidewalk Cross Slope Activity Score APPENDIX B-7 Page 255 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN B.3.(a)3 Vertical Displacement Vertical displacements occur when abrupt grade changes form between adjacent sidewalk panels, often due to settling or tree root growth. These uneven surfaces pose tripping hazards and are especially dangerous for individuals using wheelchairs, walkers, or those with limited mobility. The Plan assessed vertical displacements to identify areas where pedestrian safety may be compromised. A score was assigned to each vertical displacement and the displacements along the respective sidewalk segment was summed together. Vertical Displacement Score ¼” – 1 ½” 1 >1 ½” 8 Table B3a3: Vertical Displacement Obstruction Score As sidewalk segment lengths are not consistent throughout the Village the sum of the vertical displacement scores was divided by length of the sidewalk segment to get a representative score per sidewalk segment. The higher the number the greater the impact of vertical displacements on the sidewalk segment. The breakdown of ranges is based on splitting the sidewalk segments into four equal pools for point values, rounded to the nearest hundredth. Average Vertical Displacement Score per Foot Point Value >0.06 1 0.02 to 0.06 2 >0.00 to 0.02 3 0 4 Table B3a3i: Average Vertical Displacement Obstruction Score B.3.(a)4 Deterioration Deterioration occurs for a multitude of reasons but leads to a variety of potential hazards including a slippery surface, vertical displacements, and will likely lead to more extreme barriers to access in the future. Deterioration Percentage Point Value >5% 1 <5% 2 Table B3a4: Deterioration Score APPENDIX B-8 Page 256 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN B.3.(a)5 Sidewalk Accessibility Score The values for the 4 criteria were added together to provide an overall score describing the physical condition of the sidewalk segment referred to as the Sidewalk Accessibility Score. The score allows for comparison of sidewalk segments at various locations throughout the Village. Sidewalk Score = (Width Score + Cross Slope Score + Vertical Displacement Score + Deterioration Score) A maximum score of 13 represents a sidewalk segment that meets all thresholds established for compliance. A minimum score of 4 represents a sidewalk segment that has the most significant barriers to access. Most sidewalk segments fall within these two extremes. To provide clarity, the sidewalk segments were divided into four groups based on similar levels of physical sidewalk deficiencies. The four groups, with the highest priority listed first, are: (1) Major Barriers to Access Found (Score of 4-9) (2) Moderate Barriers to Access Found (Score of 10) (3) Minor Barriers to Access Found (Score of 11-12) (4) Significantly Compliant (Score of 13) APPENDIX B-9 Page 257 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN APPENDIX B.3(b) CURB RAMP ACCESSIBILITY SCORE Page 258 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN B.3.(b) CURB RAMP ACCESSIBILITY SCORE Data collection was completed using DeepWalk mobile LiDAR data. Scoring was completed within the DeepWalk technology based on modifying the scoring weight to place a higher priority on Village priorities. The scoring system takes 6 criteria into account at each curb ramp and assigns score weights to each unique deficiency. B.3.(b)1 Curb Ramp Type The field crews evaluated whether a curb cut was provided where a sidewalk intersects with a curb, as required by ADA regulations. When a curb cut is missing, including depressed curb with a height greater than 1-1/2”, pedestrians are denied access to the adjacent roadway corridor, making this the highest priority for improvement. These locations present significant barriers, especially for individuals with mobility challenges. However, if no sidewalk is present, a curb ramp is not required, and such locations are excluded from the assessment. The Curb Ramp Score at these locations reflects the highest priority for corrective action. Curb Ramp Type Override Callout Missing Ramp Missing Ramp Table B3b1: Curb Ramp Type Score B.3.(b)2 Curb Ramp Width Narrow curb ramps restrict pedestrian mobility and create dangerous passing situations, especially for those using wheelchairs or walkers. Curb Ramp Width Score Weight Point Value <24” (Extreme) High 100 24” – 36” (Severe) High 50 36” – 42” (Moderate) High 25 42” – 48” (Minor) High 5 >48” (No barrier) High 0 Table B3b2: Curb Ramp Width Score B.3.(b)3 Detectable Warning Panels Detectable warning panels alert visually impaired individuals that they are approaching a hazardous condition. On perpendicular and parallel curb ramps, these panels also help guide them toward the direction of the opposing curb ramp across the roadway. Detectable Warning Panels Score Weight Point Value Not Present Moderate 25 Present Moderate 0 Table B3b3: Curb Ramp Detectable Warning Panels Score APPENDIX B-10 Page 259 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN B.3.(b)4 Cross Slope The cross slope runs perpendicular to the direction of travel. On a curb ramp, a steep cross slope can cause users to lose their balance. Running Slope Score Weight Point Value >6% (Extreme) High 16 4% - 6% (Severe) High 8 3% - 4% (Moderate) High 4 2.5% - 3% (Minor) High 1 <2.5% (No barrier) High 0 Table B3b4: Curb Ramp Cross Slope Score B.3.(b)5 Running Slope The running slope follows the direction of travel. A steep running slope can cause a wheelchair to lose control or get its wheels stuck at the bottom of the ramp due to the gradient change.

Because curb ramps often have steep slopes, pedestrians are more likely to lose their balance and fall. Vertical Displacements Score Weight Point Value ¼” – 1 ½” (Moderate) Moderate 25 >1 ½” (Strict) Strict 50 Table B3b6: Curb Ramp Vertical Displacements Score APPENDIX B-11 Page 260 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN B.3.(b)7 Curb Ramp Accessibility Score The prioritization map sums up the activity scores for comparison throughout the Village. For visual clarity the map is broken into four groups. The highest priority locations are shown in red, and the lowest priority areas are shown in green. The highest priority locations are those near multiple pedestrian traffic generators. Meanwhile, a low priority activity factor represents a segment that is near few if any pedestrian traffic generators. Curb Ramp Score = (Width Score + Detectable Warning Score + Cross Slope Score + Running Slope Score + Vertical Displacement Score) After calculating the scores, they categorized each location into one of five groups based on similar levels of physical sidewalk deficiencies. The five groups, with the highest priority being listed first, are: (1) Missing Curb Ramp (Highest Priority) (2) Major Barriers to Access Found (Score greater than 150) (3) Moderate Barriers to Access Found (Score of 50-150) (4) Minor Barriers to Access Found (Score of 10-50) (5) Significantly Compliant (Score of less than 10) APPENDIX B-12 Page 261 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN APPENDIX B.3(c) PEDESTRIAN SIGNAL ACCESSIBILITY SCORE Page 262 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN B.3(c) PEDESTRIAN SIGNAL ACCESSIBILITY SCORE The field crews collected 12 criteria at each pedestrian signal and classified the signals as either compliant or non-compliant. Since pedestrian signals are most likely to be updated during future signal improvement projects, correcting a single non-compliant signal is often inefficient and may unintentionally introduce new barriers to access when retrofitted into the existing infrastructure. To ensure consistency and accessibility, we recommend upgrading every pedestrian signal at an intersection during planned signal improvements. Additionally, curb ramps should be brought into compliance due to the likely disruption caused by installing new pedestrian push buttons and signal heads. B.3.(c)1 Distance from Curb Line The field crews measured the horizontal distance between each pedestrian push button and the curb line. When the push button is located less than 1.5 feet from the curb, it creates a potential conflict between pedestrians and motorists. This proximity can place pedestrians, especially those with mobility devices, too close to vehicle traffic, increasing safety risks. Distance from curb line Compliance Level Point Value Less than 1.5 feet from curb line Non-compliant 1 1.5 feet to 10 feet from curb line Compliant 5 >10 feet from curb line Non-compliant 3 Table B3c1: Pedestrian Signal – Distance from the Curb Line B.3.(c).2 Pedestrian Push Button Height The field crews measured the height of each pedestrian push button from the adjacent sidewalk pavement to the center of the button. When a push button is mounted too high or too low, it can be difficult for certain users, including pedestrians in wheelchairs. Pedestrian push button height Compliance Level Point Value Less than 3.5 feet from adjacent Non-compliant 1 pavement 3.5 feet to 4 feet from adjacent Compliant 5 pavement Greater than 4 feet from adjacent Non-compliant 1 pavement Table B3c2: Pedestrian Signal – Pedestrian Push Button Height B.3.(c)3 Pedestrian Detector The field crews recorded whether each pedestrian signal included a push button or another method to activate the walk interval. APPENDIX B-13 Page 263 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN Pedestrian detector Compliance Level Point Value Pushbuttons Compliant 5 Passive detection* Compliant 5 No detection present Non-compliant 1** Table B3c3: Pedestrian Signal – Pedestrian Detector * Passive detection for one crosswalk when pedestrian detectors are present in the same quadrant of the intersection for another crosswalk is categorized as No Detection Present. This is due to pedestrian confusion caused by the inconsistency of pushbutton presence. ** No detection present supersedes all other scoring and is categorized as the highest possible priority for pedestrian signals, No Detection Present. B.3.(c)4 Non-Visual Aids The field crews recorded whether each pedestrian signal included a non-visual method to alert pedestrians to the presence of a push button or another way to activate the walk interval. These non-visual aids provide essential guidance for pedestrians who are blind or have low vision, helping ensure safe and independent navigation. Non-visual aids Compliance Level Point Value Audible tones Compliant 5 Vibrating surfaces Compliant 5 Tactile Surface Compliant 5 None present Non-compliant 1 Table B3c4: Pedestrian Signal – Non-Visual Aids B.3(c)5 Clear Space Widths The field crews measured the width of the landing area for each pedestrian push button. A landing smaller than 4 feet by 4 feet does not provide adequate space for a person using a wheelchair to access and activate the push button safely and comfortably. Clear space widths Compliance Level Point Value Less than 4 feet by 4 feet Non-compliant 1 4 feet by 4 feet to 5 feet by 5 feet Compliant 5 Greater than 5 feet by 5 feet Compliant 5 Table B3c5: Pedestrian Signal – Clear Space Widths B. 3(c)6 Clear Space Slopes The field crews measured the slope of the landing area for each pedestrian push button in all directions. Steep slopes in any direction can cause a wheelchair to lose balance and affect the stability of all pedestrians, especially older adults. Ensuring a level landing surface is critical for safe and accessible pedestrian signal use. APPENDIX B-14 Page 264 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN Clear space slopes Compliance Level Point Value Less than or equal to 2 percent Compliant 5 Greater than 2 percent Non-compliant 1 Table B3c6: Pedestrian Signal – Clear Space Slopes B.3(c)7 Distance from the Pedestrian Push Button to the Crosswalk The field crews measured the proximity of each pedestrian push button to the crosswalk it serves. When a push button is located too far from the crosswalk, it can be challenging for pedestrians with limited mobility to reach the crosswalk in time to safely cross the street. Ensuring close and convenient placement of push buttons is essential for accessible and efficient pedestrian movement. Distance from the pedestrian push Compliance Level Point Value button to the crosswalk Less than 5 feet Compliant 5 Greater than 5 feet Non-compliant 1 Table B3c7: Pedestrian Signal – Distance from the Pedestrian Push Button to the Crosswalk B.3(c)8 Pedestrian Push Button Proximity The field crews measured the proximity of pedestrian push buttons to one another. When push buttons are located close together, audible tones or other non-visual aids are required to help pedestrians—especially those who are blind or have low vision—distinguish between different buttons that may be activated nearby. Ensuring clear differentiation is essential for safe and accessible navigation. Pedestrian push button proximity Compliance Level Point Value Less than 10 feet Compliant 5 Greater than 10 feet Non-Compliant 1 One button Compliant 5 Table B3c8: Pedestrian Signal – Pedestrian Push Button Proximity B.3(c)9 Operating Force The field crews measured the amount of force required to activate each pedestrian push button. When the operating force is too high, it can be difficult for some pedestrians, especially those with limited strength or mobility, to activate the signal. Ensuring push buttons are easy to operate is essential for maintaining accessibility and usability for all users. Operating force Compliance Level Point Value Less than 5 pounds Compliant 5 Greater than 5 pounds Non-compliant 1 Table B3c9: Pedestrian Signal – Operating Force APPENDIX B-15 Page 265 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN B.3(c)10 Obstructions When obstructions are present in the clear zone of the pedestrian push button, the pedestrian push button is not accessible for all users. The field crews recorded where obstructions limit access to the pedestrian push buttons. These obstructions could be a variety of different obstructions from fixed physical obstructions (e.g., utility poles, handholes, or fire hydrants) that will require the relocation of the obstacle or barriers to access (e.g., broken sidewalk or grass) where removal and replacement of the existing clear space will address the barrier to access. Countdown signals Compliance Level Point Value <Null> Compliant 5 Broken Sidewalk Non-compliant 4 Utility Pole Non-compliant 1 Utility Box Non-compliant 1 Handhole Non-compliant 1 Table B3c10: Pedestrian Signal – Countdown Signals B.3(c)11 Side Reach Range The field crew recorded the distance from the clear space to the pedestrian push button. When the distance from the clear space to the pedestrian push button exceeds 10 inches it can impact the balance and safety of the user. Alternative name format Compliance Level Point Value Greater than 10” Non-compliant 1 Less than 10” Compliant 5 Table B3c11: Pedestrian Signal – Alternative Name Format B.3(c)12 Push Button Parallel to Crosswalk The location and direction of the push button provide clues to visibly impaired pedestrians in the direction of the crosswalk. When the push button is not parallel to the crosswalk, users can be confused increasing pedestrian risks. Parallel to Crosswalk Compliance Level Point Value Yes Compliant 5 No Non-compliant 1 Table B3c12: Pedestrian Signal – Push Button Parallel to Crosswalk APPENDIX B-16 Page 266 of 401 VILLAGE OF GLEN ELLYN ADA TRANSITION PLAN B.3.(c)13 Pedestrian Signals Accessibility Score The prioritization map sums up the activity scores for comparison throughout the Village. For visual clarity the map is broken into four groups. The highest priority locations are shown in red, and the lowest priority areas are shown in green. The highest priority locations are those near multiple pedestrian traffic generators. Meanwhile, a low priority activity factor represents a segment that is near few if any pedestrian traffic generators. Pedestrian Signals Score = (Distance from Curb Line Score + Push Button Height Score + Detector Score + Non-Visual Aids Score + Clear Space Widths Score + Clear Space Slopes Score + Distance from Push Button to Crosswalk Score + Push Button Proximity Score + Operating Force Score + Obstructions Score + Side Reach Range Score + Push Button Parallel to Crosswalk Score) After calculating the scores, they categorized each location into one of five groups based on similar levels of physical sidewalk deficiencies.

At each block, the project team identified parking considered in the analysis—either metered or designated by signage or striping. They excluded additional parking along the block perimeter that did not meet the threshold for requiring accessible spaces. Where existing accessible spaces are present, their location is identified as well. The assessment does not consider whether the space meets the requirements under the law, just the presence of the accessible parking space. If existing on-street parking spaces are not being altered, the accessibility requirements do not apply retroactively. Only altered spaces must meet the standards until the minimum number of accessible spaces is provided. The following information is provided to assist village staff in incorporating accessible parking spaces as street improvements are completed by the village or other community partners.

A summary of the project schedule is available at the link above. CRESCENT-GLENWOOD PARKING LOT AND MEDIAN REHABILITATION – Contractor: Abbey Construction (Value of Construction Contract = $1,208,252.93) This project involves the resurfacing and modest reconfiguration of the parking lot along with reconstruction of the north side median with addition of new trees and other plantings, and the addition of new parking lot lighting. Since the last report, the bulk of the project punchlist has been completed by the contractor. That said, there are likely going to need to be some ADA ramp replacements that are currently being worked out with the contractor. Beyond, this the major remaining project item is the leveling of several of the trees that were planted at the end of last season, and then planting of all the perennials. The plantings are anticipated to be complete in the next month. CBD STREETSCAPE AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS – Phase 1 – Contractor: A Lamp Concrete Contractors (Project No. 15006; Value of Construction Contract = $5,704,293) The sole smaller remaining item in the Phase 1 area is completion of a remaining electrical item at 504 Hillside (in coordination with ComEd and Nicor). The work is also necessitating the unanticipated involvement of Nicor to move a gas meter and achieve a ComEd required minimum separation between the exsiting gas meter location and the existing electrical meter location. Village permits are in place and an agreement is in process with Nicor for their advance work which will set in motion the chain of events to finally complete this remaining Phase 1 streetscaping associated work. In the end, the Phase 1 Streetscaping construction is anticipated to be approximately $275,000 under the originally approved construction contract amount. The Duane-Main alley project was substantially completed at the end of last year and is only awaiting completion of minor punchlist items coming out of a January 13th inspection. The punchlist work is anticipated to be completed within the next month. CBD STREETSCAPE AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS – Phase 2-3 – Contractor: A Lamp Concrete Contractors (Project No. 15006; Value of Construction Contract = $16,298,499 The punchlist for the project has been winnowed down to a few small landscaping items and the replacement of the deteriorated brick located in the Phase 2-3 area furniture zones, and a few spot landscaping items. The replacement bricks are finally expected to be delivered to the contractor sometime in the next two weeks and the contractor work can then be scheduled. Completion of Page 2 of 8 Page 395 of 401 this work will allow for closing out the Phase 2-3 streetscaping contract. In the end the project is anticipated to be approximately $400,000 under the originally approved construction contract amount. OTHER AGENCY PROJECTS Butterfield Road Reconstruction (IDOT) The State continues to advance its project to reconstruct Butterfield Road from 700 feet west of Arboretum Drive to I-355. The project involves complete reconstruction of IL-56 with the end deliverable being 3 through travel lanes in each direction from Route 53 to IL-355. The intersection of IL-56 and IL-53 will also be improved with all approaches to the intersection to have dual left- turn lanes and exclusive right-turn lanes. The intersection improvements will extend north and south along IL-53 with the State continuing to work through the design process for future reconstruction of IL-53 down to Park Boulevard. The project will also include the construction of a 10-foot-wide shared use bicycle path on the north side of IL-56 between Arboretum Drive and Lloyd Avenue. As part of the shared use path construction, a new pedestrian bridge will be constructed over the East Branch of the DuPage River. New sidewalks will also be constructed along the west side of IL-53 from the southern Walmart entrance to Pinegrove Court and along the south side of IL-56 from the Abbington to IL-53. The Contractor is currently working on the southern half of Butterfield Road as well as the western half of Route 53. Work on Butterfield Road includes water main replacement, electrical utility work, and construction of the IL-56 bridge deck over the East Branch of the DuPage River. Work on the west half of Route 53 includes construction of the new roadway pavement. From a high level perspective, IDOT is hopeful that the south half of Butterfield Road will be completed by the end of this construction season. They are also hopeful that the contractor will be able to start reconstruction of the north half of Butterfield Road, but anticipate that the work will extend into 2027. IDOT is hopeful that the majority of the work on Route 53 is completed this construction season. Route 53 Resurfacing from Baker Hill Drive to south of Saint Charles Road This IDOT project consists of pavement patching, milling of the asphalt surface, placing new binder and surface course, replacing aggregate shoulders with asphalt shoulders, drainage structures adjustment and cleaning, placement of pavement markings, sidewalk ADA improvements, detector loops replacement, and incidental and collateral work necessary to complete the improvement. Plans are at this link. Staff met with IDOT’s resident engineers for the Route 53 and Roosevelt Road projects on April 29th to emphasize the Village’s expectations concerning outreach and coordination with impacted properties on both projects. IDOT committed to reaching out to all of the properties, providing their contact information, and coordinating closely with properties on loss of driveway/entrance- exit access. Page 3 of 8 Page 396 of 401 Roosevelt Road Resurfacing from Nicoll Way to Edson Avenue (East of Finley) This IDOT project consists of an overlay of the existing concrete pavement with hot-mix asphalt surface course and binder course, thermoplastic pavement markings, ADA improvements for curb ramps, combination concrete curb and gutter, concrete medians, pavement widening for flush medians. Plans are at this link. Staff met with IDOT’s resident engineers for the Route 53 and Roosevelt Road projects on April 29th to emphasize the Village’s expectations concerning outreach and coordination with impacted properties on both projects. IDOT committed to reaching out to all of the properties, providing their contact information, and coordinating closely with properties on loss of driveway/entrance-exit access. Work is underway on the project with heavy construction activities anticipated to commence the week of May 11th. Accessible Pedestrian Signal Pushbuttons at IL-38/Nicoll (IDOT) Staff is awaiting an update from IDOT on the timing of the upgrade of the pedestrian pushbuttons at IL-38/Nicoll Way. The most recent estimate was late June or July for the work. East Branch DuPage River Trail (DuPage County) DuPage County is leading this exciting project involving the construction of a regional north south bike-ped trail with Christopher B. Burke Engineering Limited (CBBEL) completing the preliminary engineering work for the project. Information on the project can be found at www.ebdrt.com. CBBEL recently informed the Village that topographic survey work is underway along the project corridor. ENGINEERING PROJECTS 2027 UTILITY AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS – Engineer: AECOM Topographic survey and engineering design work is underway for the Village’s 2027 Utility and Roadway Improvements Project. SHEEHAN AVENUE UTILITY AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS – Engineer: AECOM This project involves the reconstruction of Sheehan Avenue between South Park Boulevard and Route 53. The project is working through the State administered federal aid project development and design processes as to position the project for federal funding. While an engineering supplement was approved to complete a State requested Intersection Design Study at Sheehan and Route 53, AECOM and staff are working with IDOT on re-evaluating the need for the IDS. This is in the context of recent improvements that IDOT made to the intersection. Page 4 of 8 Page 397 of 401 HILL AVENUE UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS – Engineer: Walter E. Deuchler Associates (Project No. 00511) This project involves the construction of sanitary sewer and water distribution system improvements on Hill Avenue between Golf Avenue and the East Branch of the DuPage River. The improvements will ultimately result in the Village’s water main being continuous and looped along both Hill Avenue and Crescent Boulevard. Also, this will allow the Village to serve the fronting properties on Hill Avenue with potable water service. Easement documentation was prepared for the Elliot Construction property with the documents signed by the respective party. A similar easement is needed on the north side of Hill Avenue; staff has met with the property owner to review draft easement documents and expects final comments and/or signatures from his attorney by May 8th. Most recently, staff evaluated an alternative corridor that the property owner requested and a follow up meeting was held with the property owner and his attorney to discuss the complications of an alternative alignment for the utilities. Having said that, staff was able to identify and opportunity to reduce the footprint of the easement which was of interest to the property owner. Next step is to revise the design plans to align with the revised easement. Other various comments will also need to be addressed by the Engineer. This will allow the project design to ultimately be finalized, easements secured, permits amended or refreshed, and project to be competitively bid in 2026. TRAIN STATION / PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL – Engineer: CDM Smith/KMI Architects (Project No. 16016) IDOT granted Phase I Engineering Design Approval on March 24th. CDM Smith is currently advancing the plans to 95% Design Status. Regarding Land Acquisition, a draft plat of highways has been received and is under review by staff. TRAFFIC SIGNAL MODERNIZATION PROJECT – Engineer: AECOM (Project No. 23006; Engineer’s Estimate of Construction Cost = $922,839.75) As per the 2024 Recommendations Report created by AECOM, work on the six Village-owned traffic signals was planned to be spread over three years (2026-2028). Included in the recommendations is the ownership transfer and improvement of the existing Lambert Road/Pedestrian Signal that is currently owned by the College of DuPage, but is on the Village roadway and is part of the Village maintained signal interconnect along the Lambert corridor. Preliminary design for all seven signals has been completed. And the target intersections for each construction year will be part of each year’s budget discussions. The four signals along the Lambert corridor were to be included for 2026 construction. The Village initiated coordination with the College of DuPage on the ownership transfer of the pedestrian signal. A request for proposals for construction engineering services was issued, with Primera selected as intended consultant for the project, as detailed in the previous monthly updates. AECOM completed the final plans and the project was advertised for bid through the BHFX Planroom on February 18th, with bid opening on March 4th. However, there were no bids received. Page 5 of 8 Page 398 of 401 Engineering staff then performed outreach with the compiled list of seven signal contractors identified to do work in the region. Multiple of the contractors indicated they had not seen the bid advertisement in spite of it being posted in the Daily Herald and on the BHFX Planroom websites. Universally the contractors indicated there was a lot of work out there for them and so they were not aggressively pursuing projects. The most actionable feedback was concern over the contract completion date (set before Thanksgiving), not because of the amount of work involved with the contract, but because of the long and sometimes unpredictable lead times they are experiencing with signal equipment. Light poles and fiber optic were mentioned as the biggest wildcards. In response to the feedback, the Village worked with AECOM to convert the construction contract to a working days contract. The project was then re-advertised on April 2nd with a bid opening of April 23rd. The bid package was sent individually to each of the seven signal contractor contacts. Two of the contractors had indicated they would be looking to bid, even if not necessarily aggressive bids. In the end, there were again no bids received. In the coming weeks, we will be coordinating with the design consultant and reaching back out to the signal contractors for further feedback with the likely plan of re-bidding the project later this year, to be early in the queue with contractors for 2027 construction season. ADA PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY TRANSITION PLAN – CMAP TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE – Project Partner: Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) In March of 2024, Public Works applied to CMAP for assistance with creation of its federally- required ADA Transition Plan, as part of CMAP’s 2024 Technical Assistance Call for Projects. Out of a competitive process (122 applications submitted, 30 awarded), the Village was selected to receive assistance. The 30-day public comment period has now closed, comments addressed, and a final Plan completed. The target is for CIC review of the final plan at the May 13th meeting, and Village Board review and adoption at their May 26th meeting. WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM STUDY – Engineer: Christopher B. Burke Engineering Limited (CBBEL) This project involves the development of a model of the Village’s water distribution system which will be used to optimize operation of the system as well as identify and confirm needed capital improvements. The model and a technical report will be the ultimate deliverables of the assignment. Through a competitive RFP Process, staff identified CBBEL as the best firm for the completion of the assignment. The Village Board approved an agreement with CBBEL on January 27 th. CBBEL has completed a draft report and supporting exhibits which are under review by staff. Page 6 of 8 Page 399 of 401  CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS Public Works seeks the best vendor prices for various annual municipal and utility maintenance and operations activities. This effort includes local bidding of projects or joint purchasing initiatives, including the Municipal Partnering Initiative (MPI), a consortium of DuPage County communities. 2026 Project Estimated Status VGE Cost* The project scope includes roadway patching on various Village streets.
