CORRECTS

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.

Mayor-Elect Howard P. Frimark

HIGHEST Action Based Rating We Can Give

CORRECTS for the following Traffic & Safety reasons strongly endorses for our Mayor:

Howard P. Frimark

Frimark supports the need to wisely enhance the City "target" areas.
Frimark was an Alderman who formally went on record before the Planning and Zoning Commission (P & Z) and question the traffic study and its impact.
Frimark addressed concern over increased traffic expected on Greenwood between Touhy and Elm at the P & Z hearings.
Frimark recommended planning for the future of a Cumberland viaduct to provide a direct north / south bypass route. Improving business traffic for the Uptown area viability to the P & Z.
Frimark expressed an interest in tweaking the proposed traffic plan.
Frimark was the only Alderman who expressed concern for the Summit and Touhy pedestrian crossing and traffic.
Frimark would have liked to have reviewed the Summit Retirement Traffic Consultant's study which was scrapped.
Uptown Redevelopment should be intelligently integrated within all of Uptown and its surroundings. So as to provide a pleasant retail, cultural and social signature landmark. Which requires adequate transportation and foot traffic and a feeling of safety and pleasure.

Frimark's Mayoral opponent never expressed any statement, question or comment on Traffic & Safety in public or to CORRECTS. He supports waiting until the problem has to be dealt with.
