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.

Issued to City Council - December 20, 2004 Impact Caused by Traffic Plan This is how the whole of Park Ridge will be affected by PRC's and the City's desired traffic pattern of a new light at Summit, which therefore require street closures, removal of Parking from N.W. Highway and Summit as well. Being able to walk across Touhy come a a very high price in terms of lives lost or ruined, $1.5 million light and creating 30 increased traffic intersections and several certain gridlocks about town, for which the cost of people sitting idle, cars consuming gasoline, brakes and transmissions wearing, exhaust fumes building up and patience frazzled will far exceed any hoped for benefit probably with in each year of the 23 TIF plan. Clearly this plan is unwise and ill advised and few will ever cross Touhy on foot anyway as the distance and risk are simply too great. Existing businesses will suffer irreparable harm and Park Ridge will lose Sales Taxes offsetting the meager $100,000 a year estimated today.
This is how in total all intersections will be directly affected and those intersection impacted by an increase in traffic. Traffic is expected to be beyond bumper-to-bummer on Washington from Summit to Touhy and probably backup onto Touhy and certainly at Norwest highway with its school crossing and two lights. Summit and Prospect is expected to be beyond bumper-to-bummer from well South of Prospect to at least Touhy. If you click on the picture a medium resolution will appear if you click on this test a Hi-resolution picture will be presented for your review.
This is how those heading North will affect intersections directly and may create bottlenecks which may also result. If you click on the picture a hi-resolution picture will be presented for your review.
This is how those heading South will affect intersection directly and possibly create bottlenecks. If you click on the picture a a hi-resolution picture will be presented for your review. The Citizens are behind you and the development. You will achieve a meaningful legacy of positive change. Don’t accept one that will haunt all and the consciences of many over what could have been!
