Citizens Organized for
Reasonable Routes Enhancing
Community Traffic & Safety
non- non-partisan, nonprofit, member-supported public interest organization that promotes Traffic and Safety issues by influencing public policy decisions: legislative, administrative, legal, and electoral. A community organization dedicated to providing a central place to review Park Ridge Traffic and Safety issues with its citizens and their elected Representatives and City's management. To practice and promote the responsible use of our roads, traffic systems and resources. To educate and enlist citizens to protect and restore the quality of our auto and pedestrian traffic as one of our cherished human environments in Park Ridge. CORRECTS - Citizens Organized for Reasonable Routes Enhancing Community Traffic & Safety believes that citizen's pedestrian safety, auto safety and reasonable routes comes first in city traffic. That before adding a traffic signal or traffic signals which generates slow traffic, bumper-to-bumper traffic, traffic gridlock, traffic complaints, traffic crashes, traffic signs, traffic bottleneck, automobile traffic, traffic congestion, rush hour traffic, bumper to bumper traffic, traffic congestion, rush hour traffic and automobile traffic, that a Park Ridge Alderman and/or Park Ridge Aldermen, should require a traffic study to avoid this auto traffic scenario in Park Ridge, Illinois. Only reasonable auto traffic should be permitted to provide reasonable routes with traffic safety and avoid traffic accidents, traffic injuries, pedestrian injuries, auto accidents, traffic problems, which will also decrease pedestrian traffic in Park Ridge and thus negatively affect retail sales and our quality of life. We encourage Park Ridge citizens to register and for all voters to vote only for a Park Ridge Alderman / Park Ridge Aldermen Park Ridge Mayor that promises to ensure Reasonable Routes and City Traffic Safety. Today’s Park Ridge City Policy of waiting for citizens to first be injured, maimed and dead, while creating a serious crisis of traffic congestion, in traffic routes and hurting existing retail businesses, is unacceptable. CORRECTS holds itself out as an Open Forum to provide an opportunity for citizens and organizations to inform the public of events, issues or projects. This will allow you to report anything you wish to see addressed or answered regarding traffic anywhere in Park Ridge. Your input on this issue if vital to all of us.

First Ward Aldermen: CORRECTS for Traffic & Safety reasons strongly endorses:
Kirke
Machon
HIGHEST Action Based Rating We Can Give
Kirke is concerned with better traffic flow. CORRECTS looks forward to Machon advocating for better streets. Local businessman Kirk Machon has been endorsed by David Schmidt who "vigorously opposes the closing of Meacham Avenue and asks how sending a far heavier volume of traffic their way, while at the same time cutting off their only reasonable access to Touhy, will do anything other than reduce their quality of life." and believes that Kirke will do all he can in this area. Thus his general information is within Kirke Machon's section and detail about David Schmidt can be found by clicking on his announcement. Since Machon supports David Schmidt's view, we are raising his rating, awaiting Machon's confirmation: [Click here to read more about Kirke Machon]

HIGHEST Recommendation We Can Give Retired Chief Financial Officer James Radermacher cares about the impact traffic has on business and are daily commutes, he also believes pedestrian safety should have reasonable reward risk ratios. Radermacher has actively attended most Public Meetings to better understand the issues and the processes in reviewing the facts. Radermacher's analysis is fairly objective on Park Ridge issues. Radermacher believes in open government and is willing to share his views with the public as well as seek input from us. Excerpts from Jim's speech at CURRB: "I intend on setting infrastructure as a priority. Our community should have safe and accessible roads. Every dollar we waste is another dollar short of fixing an alley, paving a road... I still believe a strong central retail district is vital. But yet I am troubled by the final outcome of this project. I am troubled by the density of this development. I am troubled by safety issues. And I have from the beginning, questioned the weak return of our tax dollar investment.
We need to insure the long
term success of the entirety of our retail districts. This success is
dependent on long term planning for infrastructure, parking needs, traffic
flow, pedestrian safety, the preservation of our green space and return on
our tax dollar investment." Fifth Ward Aldermen: -
