It would be great if we could continue the sidewalks from the McCarthy/Archer intersection north and east along both streets to connect to these subdivisions. 2 The slopes of streets are often too steep or are uneven. Broken or crumbling portions of 9/27/2025 8:33 PM sidewalks cause an interruption to walking and require me to either walk on the street or walk on the grass. 3 Ridge Road needs continuous sidewalks as well as Eureka Ave and Oak Ln. 6/20/2025 2:12 PM 4 1 E Division St, 5 E Division St and so on going east has missing sidewalks. Also missing 6/7/2025 7:07 PM sidewalk naer the 21 W Eureka Ave block. Missing sidewalk near 1036 Warner Ave prevents me from going to the library easily by myself. 5 The sidewalk along 804 Warner Ave and 810 Warner Avenue crosses an alley which does not 6/1/2025 10:42 AM have curb ramp Would like to have a crosswalk and curb ramp to cross the street from 48 W Logan to 49 Evergreen Dr Would like cross walk and continued sidewalk when crossing from 1000 Hermes to Eureka Ave No sidewalks from 23 W - 47 W Eureka Ave and entire Oak Ln- would like to have sidewalks there to avoid walking in the street Non continuous sidewalk along 711 Ridge Rd and 713 Ridge Rd Sidewalk ends at 25 W Peiffer Ave and needs a crosswalk and flat curb ramps to cross the street to get to another sidewalk Need for continued sidewalk on E Pieffer Ave Need ADA accesible sidewalk ramps near Singer Ave and Cass Please add sidewalks to Park PI to avoid walking in the street Would like to see ramp at crosswalk near 50E Eureka Dr, currently only stairs exist which is not accessible with mobility scooter Need sidewalk in front of 1000 Warner Ave and 1020-1026 Warner Ave in order to get to the library without having to keep going into the street Need sidewalks along Weimer Ave Need continued sidewalk at 313 E Logan St 6 Too much disconnection amongst lemonts sidewalks. We need a plan to connect lemont's 5/30/2025 10:17 AM existing sidewalks from residential areas to other residential areas and downtown businesses. Specifically on archer 7 Lack of businesses access for wheelchair bound. No "push buttons to open doors". Not enough 5/30/2025 8:53 AM handicap spots near sidewalk ramps, uneven sidewalks, dangerous to walk or wheel. 8 new ave from timberline downtown steven st 5/30/2025 6:46 AM 9 Stairs 5/29/2025 10:26 PM 10 1 walk my dogs a lot, pretty much every day. We have different routes between downtown 5/29/2025 6:36 PM Lemont, east of State, north of 127 and west of 1st St. There are some major differences between some of the older neighborhoods, when sidewalks may not have been required, and the newer neighborhoods. There are some places that don't have any sidewalks, there are some where the sidewalks are perfectly fine and then others where the sidewalks are there but in terrible condition. If there is anywhere specific you are looking for it would be east of state, north of freehauf west of east ave and south of me carthy. 11 People do not trim the low -hanging tree branches on their property or.. It's difficult to walk or 5/29/2025 5:50 PM ride a bike on a sidewalk if you will be hit in the head by a low/non-trimmed branch. (ie. Illinois St. by the yellow house on the corner of Illinois/Fremont and that whole block). 12 No sidewalks on sections of McCarthy Rd and Archer Ave. Big drop off from sidewalk to street 5/28/2025 7:37 PM on certain streets (Ledochowski for example) 13 No continuous sidewalk at 127th and Jane Avenue and Archer. 5/28/2025 3:09 PM 1/9 Village of Lemont ADA Evaluation and Transition Plan 14 Biggest challenge is walking into the village of Lemont with a stroller or younger children on 5/28/2025 11:50 AM bikes. There are no ramps on some of the sidewalks. So you have to get on the busy street which is dangerous because there is a steep him and a busy intersection once you walk past the school. If you do take the sidewalk , you have to lift the stroller down a flight of stairs which can be difficult to do. 15 Missing areas of sidewalk 5/27/2025 11:03 PM 16 The ramps in the crosswalks were recently fixed in the areas I walk most. Before that, we 5/27/2025 10:46 PM walked on the street, my stroller has been affected from deep slopes, broken sidewalks, and raised concrete. I rolled my ankle in downtown Lemont walking on the raised sewer. 17 No continuous sidewalks on Freehauf to get to bus stops. 5/27/2025 9:07 PM 18 McCarthy Rd should have sidewalks on both sides from Illinois to Archer 5/27/2025 7:57 PM 19 1st. Street is getting busy as it is a through street - there are no sidewalks by the cemetery 5/27/2025 6:27 PM and it's very dangerous to walk there especially when cars are going both ways. 20 The sidewalk on beginning of Short Street is very old and incomplete, starting from State 5/27/2025 4:19 PM Street. 21 A flashing light for pedestrian crossing (similar to the one at St Al's on State St) should be 5/27/2025 4:12 PM installed at the crossing on Illinois St and Lemont St. Very dangerous especially during downtown errands. Another dangerous corner is at the right turn of BTB Wine across from VFW. Many times vehicles take that turn very fast, -scary-. 22 Wexford - Hilltop Dr, very close calls of being hit on crosswalks. Hilltop Dr - Wheeler stop sign 5/27/2025 4:05 PM being disobeyed especially after H.S. lets out. Hilltop Ct property owner has basketball stand in sidewalk. Senon east of 4th St, property owner works on vehicles blocking sidewalk. Harasek- cars/trucks parked across sidewalk. 23 The start/stop of sidewalks makes Lemont far less walkable than it should be. Even if the 5/27/2025 12:28 PM sidewalk is just at the curb, having a consistent pathway would help. 24 Is there any plan or funding allocated for a stoplight at Bluff and Lemont Road? Traffic has 5/27/2025 10:40 AM been increasing significantly with new businesses and the addition of Athens Park, and it's becoming a real safety concern. Thank you! 25 Low hanging tree branches and uneven sidewalks. 5/27/2025 9:44 AM 26 Cars that DO NOT STOP and allow you to cross over to other side of street. That is a major 5/25/2025 8:20 AM concern in the Covington Knolls and Abbey Oaks area. Cars fly down the streets in these subdivisions and race down Covington at any time of the day 27 Flower boxes 5/25/2025 7:58 AM 28 Trip hazards here and there. Ice and standing water in various locations. 5/24/2025 8:50 PM 29 It is very hard to cross Illinois st where it meets Lemont st near the historic society, the cars 5/23/2025 9:56 PM come fast and there is no stop sign. Also the stairs on the corner are very steep and can be difficult to manage. 30 East side state street. By church. Sidewalk has stairs at street crosswalk. Should be a ramp 5/23/2025 6:09 PM down to street level Residents Aldo park in driveways and block the sidewalk 31 No sidewalks 5/23/2025 5:34 PM 32 1 have lived on the original 200/300 block of Freehauf St. for more than 40 years and the non- 5/21/2025 2:45 PM continuous sidewalks on both sides of the street have never been addressed. When I go for a walk, I am forced to walk in the street with speeding cars along side of me. I have witnessed mothers with baby strollers in the same situation. 33 Uneven sidewalks, low hanging tree branches, parked vehicle blocking sidewalk 5/16/2025 8:38 AM 34 Freehauf street has no sidewalks and it is extremely dangerous to walk in the street. 5/16/2025 12:20 AM 35 Inconsistent Sidewalk connections 5/14/2025 5:02 PM 36 Over grown bushes hanging over the sidewalk. 5/12/2025 3:58 PM 2/9 Village of Lemont ADA Evaluation and Transition Plan 37 The newly cut curb at 127th and Rolling Meadows was not cut all the way to grade. I see that being a difficult curb to get up if in a wheelchair. 38 Steps by Lemont Historical need replacement. 39 debris on bike paths- especially the centennial bike path under Lemont road bridge. It's a matter of time before there is a major accident there and it's as simple as a street cleaner to fix. 40 lack of sidewalks to centennial park 41 The main issue we face as a family is all the stairs and poles taking up room on the sidewalk. We have a small child who relys on a stroller so it makes it hard to get around. 42 general bad shape, uneven, slopes that have come from freezing and thawing 43 Cars illegally parked in driveways and blocking the public sidewalk. 44 None 45 Motorists do not always stop for pedestrians crossing Steven street at Talcott. Sidewalks not continuous in many areas force to cross streets. Motorists on McCarthy do not stop for pedestrians crossing at Holmes. 46 Missing sidewalks from Ashbury Woods along 127th street to State Street and no cross walk to get across 127th to the sidewalks on the other side near the school entrance. 47 Uneven side walks that put stress on my joints and back. A lot of the side walks Downtown are angled, making it hard for me and my senior age parents to walk around Downtown Lemont and hesitant to walk to a business. 48 Uneven sidewalks 49 Stairway from Lemont Street to sidewalk in front of Lemont Historical Society.old uneven curbs. 50 Southeast corner at Eureka &Warner does not have ramps. We constantly see parents trying to get strollers down the stairs and people on bikes doing the same thing. 51 Missing side walk areas thus need to use the street. 52 -the sidewalk between 804 and 810 Warner ave is not well accessible due to the curbs near the alley and the car at 804 Warner is always blocking the sidewalk -non continuous sidewalk at 702 ridge rd -cracked crumbled sidewalk at 16 w division and 10 w division -sidewalk ends and there is no crosswalk or continued sidewalk at 25 w pieffer -missing sidewalk going from pieffer to eureka 53 The older parts of town have the worst sidewalks. It's difficult to walk because of the uneven, chipped, and otherwise poor conditions. 54 On First St & McCarthy, road narrows & there is no sidewalk (around the cemetery). Lots of traffic on First St as people need to drive to their respective subdivisions of Woodglen & Covington. Even more dangerous on garbage pick up days when garbage cans are in the streets & often not pick up until people return home from work. 55 No sidewalk from Timberline dr to eagle Crest dr on 127th 56 non -continued sidewalk and/or obstructions 57 Crossing the street at 127th and Covington Knolls is difficult and cars do not stop for pedestrians at the crosswalk. Also I wish there was a sidewalk from that intersection to 127th and state street so I could walk to TLE Lemont without crossing someone's property. 58 sidewalks start and stop along 127Th st 59 The intersection of 127th , Ashbury PL and Hillview Dr. is so difficult to cross. A traffic light is a good idea, but at the very least, a flashing pedestrian crosswalk would be so helpful. Cars rarely stop when I try to cross the street. This intersection is also SO busy at school start/ end times!! Dangerous. 60 127th St. Southside between St. Andrew's CT. & State st. 5/11/2025 6:59 PM 5/8/2025 5:12 PM 5/8/2025 2:50 PM 5/6/2025 12:18 PM 5/6/2025 2:03 AM 5/5/2025 1:11 PM 5/5/2025 12:16 PM 5/4/2025 11:41 PM 5/4/2025 11:28 PM 5/3/2025 8:25 AM 5/2/2025 3:31 PM 5/2/2025 12:57 PM 5/2/2025 8:10 AM 5/1/2025 11:00 PM 5/1/2025 9:55 PM 5/1/2025 9:32 PM 5/1/2025 6:34 PM 5/1/2025 6:17 PM 5/1/2025 5:26 PM 4/30/2025 1:48 PM 4/30/2025 1:00 PM 4/30/2025 9:58 AM 4/29/2025 9:24 PM 4/29/2025 8:27 AM 3/9 Village of Lemont ADA Evaluation and Transition Plan 61 Blocked or narrow sidewalks 4/29/2025 8:14 AM 62 Missing sidewalks on Freehauf Street and on Lintz Street are my two biggest issues. I'd feel 4/29/2025 12:02 AM much safer walking my kids to school if we had sidewalks instead of having to walk in the street. 63 too many sidewalks aren't continuous. We can't walk anywhere and continuously have a side 4/28/2025 8:00 PM walk. 64 Some of the curve In the neighborhood are Difficult with the wheelchair 4/28/2025 7:02 PM 65 No sidewalks at or uneven pavement on sidewalks 4/28/2025 4:37 PM 66 127th St needs more crosswalks. 4/28/2025 2:59 PM 67 Ramps hard for me to walk up on. Curbs present difficulty lifting myself onto to sidewalk. 4/28/2025 2:20 PM 68 Heading to Downtown Lemont I walk my son down Lemont Street to East Illinois Street and 1 4/28/2025 12:58 PM really wish there was a designated crosswalk with lights and warnings for drivers that would make them stop to give pedestrians the right of way. I have to run across the street with him and its very nerve -wrecking when drivers go so fast on East Illinois Street from both directions. 69 Walking along McCarthy from Central School down toward where the Creamery and Wooden 4/28/2025 12:49 PM Paddle are. 70 When I walk daily in rolling meadow there are no current constraints. However DT Lemont and 4/28/2025 12:07 PM surrounding areas have tons of constraints to address. I am glad the village is taking action! 71 Non continuous and old sidewalks primarily in the neighborhood near the Catholic churches, 4/28/2025 10:17 AM North of Freehauf / East of State and between Mc Carthy Rd and Downtown 72 1 like to walk and typically will walk in the street because of trip hazards on sidewalks.

Several times, we have had to ask local patrons who parked in the hatched area blocking the only ramp up to the sidewalk. The parking lot has 2 ADA parking spaces, but located towards La Dolce. Suggest making space near hatching at sidewalk an ADA space and turning the one of the other ADA spaces into standard parking spaces. Other concern is ramp at Legion Park is adjacent to a normal parking space- usually blocked by a car. 166 Sidewalk is not contiguous on south side of 127th St. Sidewalk in front of briarcliff estates has 4/2/2025 7:25 PM tree overgrowth.

A lot of the side walks Downtown 5/2/2025 3:31 PM are angled, making it hard for me and my senior age parents to walk around Downtown Lemont and hesitant to walk to a business. 34 Uneven curbs and old uneven stairways. 5/2/2025 8:10 AM 35 No railings 5/1/2025 11:00 PM 36 Missing side walk areas thus need to use the street. 5/1/2025 9:55 PM 37 Non continuous sidewalks 5/1/2025 9:32 PM 38 Broken sidewalks, pitched sideways sloping, broken sidewalks. 5/1/2025 8:34 PM 39 The lack of handicapped parking frequently stops my friends and I from going downtown. 5/1/2025 6:34 PM 40 uneven sidewalks 5/1/2025 6:17 PM 41 unexisting sidewalk and uneven / trip hazard conditions 4/30/2025 1:48 PM 42 A lack of proper curb ramps is the primary issue for my family member - even using a cane, it 4/30/2025 10:51 AM is difficult to step up and down curbs. 43 NA 4/29/2025 9:24 PM 44 NA 4/29/2025 8:14 AM 45 All I want is sidewalk on Freehauf!

When I voted, I had to go to Lemon High School. I realize that mostly young people use that building, but I'm sure that anyone handicapped my have some problems being able to navigate the curbs outside and the stairs within.

Is there another product or can the cement be roughened rather than those bump strips? N/A 4/28/2025 9:58 AM none 4/28/2025 9:44 AM No disabilities though when my daughter was little the stroller was a big problem. Also when 4/28/2025 8:21 AM she rides her bike uneven sidewalks/crossings cause her to tip over. Stairs, have to go on street, large curbs to adjust to 4/27/2025 7:47 PM Downtowns sidewalks, stairs, and parking make it difficult, but we are more likely to utilize 4/27/2025 7:43 PM pedestrian areas uptown by the schools and then LHS/central school second. The township move makes it much further from us, and we wish the trip to park district etc was safer as well. State and Keepataw is very dangerous to cross and drivers are aggressive near the school. No disability, but a son in a stroller. There are a lot of bumps and cracks in the sidewalks that 4/27/2025 7:33 PM sometimes make it not fun to use so we chose the street 58 The stairs in front of the creamery. 4/27/2025 7:00 PM 59 No ramps to get on sidewalks or the ramps are not useable. 4/27/2025 6:40 PM 60 N/A 4/27/2025 6:28 PM 61 Uneven pavement 4/27/2025 6:13 PM 62 Sidewalks end, no ramp, steep drop 4/27/2025 6:01 PM 63 no sidewalk at all and had to walk in the street.

Right now there are not very many benches throughout downtown Lemont and the ones that are there tend to be clustered together, which makes it difficult to walk around all of downtown if we're limiting to areas with seating. There are things like planters to sit on, but depending on the height or the season that is not possible. A good local example of making more seating is downtown Geneva. They have a variety of seating options outside of businesses and on the sidewalks that are a combination of metal benches and stonework. That's also service seating. It's also helpful that the seating spaces are spaced out very intentionally along the shopping area so that the maximum between seats is maybe 3 to 5 businesses. Another good example that's farther away is downtown Lake Geneva that has a similar set up of intentionally spaced seating areas throughout the main shopping area 73 In downtown specifically, there are extremely steep steps at intersections, which makes it 4/24/2025 10:17 AM difficult or impossible for some with disabilities to get around. 74 N/a 4/24/2025 8:36 AM 3/5 Village of Lemont ADA Evaluation and Transition Plan 75 Uneven sidewalks and uneven crosswalks 4/24/2025 7:37 AM 76 Uneven surfaces , not enough time to get across streets , but that's a stop light issue .

It's really sad that it has taken this 4/23/2025 11:39 PM long for the village to realize they need to make serious changes. Other towns have done this YEARS ago. 79 N/a 4/23/2025 11:09 PM 80 Bushes too big at intersections.

Along state, there is one single crosswalk 4/23/2025 10:14 PM between downtown and the stoplight at Lemon Tree. This compounded with the fact that that area has such a significant hill makes it difficult to travel safely from my house on Hickory to the nearest walkable park (Virginia Reed). 84 The hills make it so difficult. I've definitely struggled and have been nervous walking around 4/23/2025 10:10 PM with my eighty year old relatives. Good luck with your study! 85 Handicap ramps need to be at every corner 4/23/2025 10:07 PM 86 Uneven sidewalks — tripping hazard 4/23/2025 10:05 PM 87 broken/uneven sidewalks 4/7/2025 8:38 PM 88 Very rough surface on Ledochowski 4/6/2025 5:48 PM 89 The gravel at The Forge is QUITE difficult with a wheelchair. Also, the slope near fire pits at 4/3/2025 9:30 AM The Forge is difficult while pushing a wheelchair also. Downtown Lemont needs more handicap spots and room to get your wheelchair out. The west side of Briarcliffe Estates "in woody part by park" hard to push wheelchair up the steep muddy walkway after any rain. Wheelchair gets stuck in ground. Unacceptable for people with disabilities. Please fix! 90 NA 4/3/2025 8:57 AM 91 See # 17. Curbs are too high in front of downtown businesses.

It's dangerous with a disability to be 3/6/2025 6:43 AM forced to walk in the street because there is no sidewalk. The #2 biggest issue is the buckled sidewalks. My parents are in their 70's and love to walk daily for exercise, but I worry about the tripping and falling. *Please add the missing sections of sidewalk on Freehauf Street and 4/5 Village of Lemont ADA Evaluation and Transition Plan Lintz Street so I don't have to worry about my children walking in the street to get to their schools or bus stops. 101 1 have tripped on the uneven sidewalks, breaking a wrist.

Open but civil discussion is encouraged especially if anyone has a concern that the plan is not considering important factors. Agenda: • Review findings and draft priorities - This is an update since we last met: we have findings and draft priorities to show today the form of heat maps, and we are presenting them to you today before presenting them to the public. We would like you to comment on whether the data looks accurate. • Next steps o Recap on presentation to Community of the Whole - presented draft plan to the Board to make sure they were up to speed on where we were in the process. PAGE 1 OF 3 Meeting Agenda o Community Meeting - October 15t" - will be held from 5-7 pm at the Kensington Room at the Core, and it will be a chance for the public to come out see the plan and provide feedback. Anything presented at the meeting will be available online after the meeting and will have a chance to comment online as well. You will be getting an invitation to this meeting, and you are encouraged to share the information to anyone you think would be interested. o Public Comment Period - 30 day comment period after we finalize the plan based on community meeting input o Final Board Approval - following 30-day public comment period, we incorporate any input from the comments, have the village take one last look before presenting to Board for approval. • Open discussion on accessibility throughout the village o Presented the heat map from the last meeting, with updates, and explained the aspects to refresh everyone's memory. Red indicates areas where pedestrian travel is highest, with orange, purple, blue and green indicating lesser levels of pedestrian traffic. Looking at sidewalk first: ■ Red occurred in the downtown area and at 127th at Timberline. • The current data shows orange and purple east of Timberline on 127th, but it was determined in the meeting that 127th should be a higher priority to State Street since there isn't a sidewalk on one side of the road that is consistent throughout. Lots of kids are seen walking along 127th towards State, and if there were continuous sidewalk on at least one side, it would open up a great network. • State Street is considered high priority from 127 to Weimer and then downtown. Is that accurate - do you see much ped traffic in between? No, so what is currently shown that way, so the data is consistent with what committee experiences. • The area by the Chrystal Ballroom, Senior Living Center, restaurants (McCarthy and Archer), should that be higher priority than how it's represented now? It was determined that there isn't a lot of pedestrian traffic in this area; it is more car traffic. So committee agreed it should stay as is. ■ Confirmed that some areas showing high priority have already been addressed by the village. The next map discussed was the condition map. ■ Not every street missing a sidewalk needs a sidewalk. There is a difference between no sidewalk and gaps in sidewalk. We recommend gaps get filled in to complete a system. ■ Took a look at Wood Glen neighborhood and explained that some of the sidewalks are slightly out of compliance, but could be fixed fairly easily, and most of the sidewalk is in good shape. • Applied the same color system to curb ramps to show conditions. Many factors considered - detectible warning panels, slopes, vertical offset. • Julia St south of McCarthy, as an example has 13 obstructions, displacements, driveways are not in good shape. That's a recommended priority area. 4 OATES ASSC''--AI FS PAGE 2OF3 Meeting Agenda ■ There are some areas where access won't be able to be achieved because of the elevation differentials in Lemont. But the plan will help the village find areas where continuous access can be achieved by avoiding the areas where elevation is an issue (steps.) • Shout out to the village for their vigilance in pursuing federal funds for improvements. Although it may take a couple of years before you see it, it is coming. Illinois St. is one area. There will be bike improvements on the west edge of the village (bike accessibility is pedestrian accessibility) • At the community meeting, there were a lot of people requesting a sidewalk down Timberline to get people to New Ave. That is a good example of a long term priority for the village. o The village brought up an issue in which a developer is constructing a house on the southwest quadrant of Czacki and Logan. Lemont code requires sidewalk. There is an elevation difference where the engineer says sidewalk can be placed but ADA ramps cannot be constructed and is proposing steps at the end of the sidewalk. The village was curious what the committee's thoughts were on this. Travis offered that the village could challenge the determination, to see if they agree with the solution. Jamie from the village agreed. It was also a consensus that sidewalk and stairs are better than no sidewalk at all, and this particular parcel, when sidewalk is provided, will help fill a gap to sidewalk network that will help a lot of people. Also suggested by Matt is to document everything and keep in on file in case this comes up in the future. Jamie appreciated the input. o Virginia Reed Park at Warner was discussed. Louise was curious if there was a solution for the stairs to the playground. Travis shared that we had investigated this but the only solution was if the ramps were put in then the elevation difference would be inside the park, which would not be any better - it'd just be moving the problem. Louise offered that the park district recently completed an ADA sidewalk to reach the other playground nearby on Custer so that people would have an option to a park close by if they couldn't access Virginia Reed because of the stairs. Travis offered that this was a good solution to the issue. Lemont in general is very proactive in trying to find solutions for pedestrians throughout the village. o Travis thanked everyone for their time and commitment to this plan and the process. It has been invaluable.

These interviews were held with 8 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: around schools, parks, in their neighborhoods. Specific locations mentioned were Stephens between PollyAnna Social and the Wooden Paddle, 1271" St, State St, West of 1-355, Main St, Logan St, McCarthy St, Czaki St and Ledochowski St., 800 block of Porter St, State St & Illinois St intersection, State & Division intersection, Holmes St., Timberline and 127`". Item 2: challenges discussed were getting to the Post Office (Stephens & River), crossing 127`h at Briarcliff to Rolling Meadows, railroad crossings, sidewalks downtown, lack of buffer on downtown sidewalks, stairs downtown, safety in crossing busier streets, lack of direct routes due to sidewalk gaps. Item 3/Item4: Most of the interviewees had not reached out to the cityfor specific issues, although one stated that when he reached out about an issue, they were responsive. Item 6; The interviewees had several suggestions such as improve pedestrian access into downtown buildings, would like to see more parks with fences since her child elopes, provide more bus pads at bus stops, add more accessible parking downtown, walking options could be expanded to schools if gaps were filled along Logan Street, around Covington Knolls, and at Lemont St and Cass St. VILLAGE OF LEMONT ADA TRANSITION PLAN Exhibit 5E Public Review and Comment Feedback .OATES n" SoC,niES Public comments on Lemont's Plan for Accessible Streets and Sidewalks SURVEY RESPONSE REPORT 16 October 2019 - 01 December 2025 PROJECT NAME: Lemont's Plan for Accessible Streets and Sidewalks GG GRANICUS Public comments on Lemont's Plan for Accessible Streets and Sidewalks : Survey Report for 16 October 2019 to 01 December 2025 Page 1 of 3 pu"" i c Comments oni .,_e3 mnt s Plar, ;car Acdcessibie Streets, and Sidewalks Sun/ey Report for 96 October 2019 to 01 tteccemiber 2025 R �(t • ��t �; ..s sr-�� M� • �.M =MM Anonytiiou , In downtown on Canal Street, the south side of Canal street seems to have sidewalks that ramp up to the building entrances.

SIG VILLAGE OF LEMONT ADA TRANSITION PLAN Appendix A.4 Accessibility Score .OATES = A;'J(-IATES VILLAGE OF LEMONT ADA TRANSITION PLAN A.4 Accessibility Score The following accessibility scores were collected based on the physical condition of a given sidewalk segment, or curb ramp by measuring each component of the ADA compliance criteria. The score was then based on overall impedance and the severity of obstructions within the route. A.4. (a) Sidewalk Accessibility Score 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. A.4.(a)1 Surface Surface is the existing wearing material of the sidewalk. When sidewalk is not present, pedestrians are forced to either travel in the travel lanes of the adjacent roadway or walk in the grass. This can lead to hazardous pedestrian motor vehicle interactions as well as uneven walking surfaces. When no surface is present it is almost impossible for someone with a mobility disability to safely travel. The ADA does not require sidewalks in any condition, but where sidewalks are provided there is an obligation for them to be accessible for all users. Sidewalk pavement not being present becomes non -compliant when gaps in the sidewalk network limit the usability of the network. For this plan a gap is defined as less than a block in length (e.g., block long gaps in the pedestrian network are not considered as not meeting the Village's obligation as ramps can be provided at side streets to direct pedestrians to other pedestrian routes. Surface Point Value None Present 1 Asphalt For Information Only Brick For Information Only Wood For Information Only Concrete For Information Only Table Mal: Sidewalk Surface Score A.4.(a)2 Sidewalk Width Narrow sidewalks limit the mobility of pedestrians on the pedestrian circulation path. This can lead to dangerous passing, especially when wheelchairs or walkers are involved. Sidewalk width requirements vary based on the presence of a green space between the roadway and the sidewalk so point values were assigned based on the clearance between the sidewalk and the adjacent roadway. . G A T E S APPENDIX A-28 VILLAGE OF LEMONT ADA TRANSITION PLAN Sidewalk Width (w/ greenspace greater than 2 feet) Point Value < 4' 1 48" 3 4'-5' 8 5' - 6' 8 >6' 8 Sidewalk Width (w/ greenspace less than 2 feet) Point Value < 4' 1 48" 1 4' — 5' 1 5'-6' 8 >6' 8 Sidewalk Width (w/o greenspace) Point Value < 4' 1 48" 1 4' — 5' 1 5' - 6' 10 >6' 10 Table A4a2: Sidewalk Width Activity Score A.4(a)3 Cross Slope Cross slope is the slope measured perpendicular to the direction of travel. A cross slope of greater than 2% can make it difficult for wheelchairs to maintain lateral balance, especially in downhill conditions. Cross Slope Point Value > 5% 1 3% - 5% 3 2% - 3% 5 <2.2% 8 Table A4a3: Sidewalk Cross Slope Activity Score A.4(a)4 Running Slope The running slope of a sidewalk is the slope parallel to the direction of travel. According to PROWAG standards the running slope can match the running slope of the adjacent roadway, however if the sidewalk running slope does not match the adjacent roadway . G A T E S APPENDIX A-29 o '_ A I VILLAGE OF LEMONT ADA TRANSITION PLAN running slope the slope can be a maximum of 5%. A steep running slope can cause wheelchairs to become unstable and difficult to control. Running Slope Point Value >5% 1 <5% 4 Running slope matches road grade 4 Table A4a4: Sidewalk Running Slope Activity Score A.4.(b) Sidewalk Obstruction Score The following 10 criteria were assigned to each obstruction observed in the field to describe the limiting factor of the various obstructions. These criteria are based on three unique feature classes that are ultimately combined to generate the Sidewalk Obstruction Score. Those feature classes are A.2.(d) Driveway Obstructions, A.2.(e) Displacement Obstructions, and A.2.(f) Obstructions. The point values for each unique deficiency are listed below and used in the equation list in Section 6.6. The higher the point value the greater the impact on pedestrian traffic. This scoring is opposite the scoring provided in A.4.(a), A.4.(c), and A.4.(d). This is related to the scoring of the sidewalk obstruction score which provides upper and lower bumpers to allow balancing the presence of obstructions throughout the Village. The scoring system starts with a maximum score of 30 points (no obstruction found) to 0 points (significant obstructions found). Zero points does not represent the singular worse condition but the lowest quartile of sidewalk segments where usability is most impacted. A.4.(b)1 Driveway Slope While the cross slope of a sidewalk segment may meet the standards of ADA compliance at the endpoints, often where a driveway crosses a sidewalk the cross slope of the sidewalk follows the driveway slope. A cross slope of greater than 2% can make it difficult for wheelchairs to maintain lateral balance and sudden changes in cross slope may be difficult for the elderly and the visual disabled. Driveway Slope Point Value >8% 10 S%-8% 7 3% - 5% 4 2% - 3% 1 1 Table A4b1: Driveway Slope Obstruction Score . G A T E S APPENDIX A-30 -)= �,II-S, VILLAGE OF LEMONT ADA TRANSITION PLAN A.4.(b)2 Ramp Slope Where the sidewalk has to slope down for a driveway the running slope of the sidewalk varies from the running slope of the roadway. A running slope on a driveway ramp of greater than 8% can make it difficult for wheelchair users to safely stop if a motor vehicle is in the driveway, while a driveway ramp of greater than 8% can make it difficult for a wheelchair user to navigate the uphill grade with significant exertion. Ramp Slope Point Value >15% 5 12% - 15% 3 10% - 12% 2 8%-10% 1 Table A02: Ramp Slope Obstruction Score AA(b)3 Horizontal Displacement Horizontal displacements are gaps between two adjacent sidewalk panels.

Modifiable Obstruction Point Value Trees 2 Bushes 1 Trash For Information Only Parking For Information Only Handholes 3 Table A010: Modifiable Obstructions Score A.4(c) Curb Ramp Accessibility Score The following 10 criteria were collected at each curb ramp. The point values for each unique deficiency is listed below and used in the equation list in Section 6.6. The lower the point value the greater the impact on pedestrian traffic. A.4(c)1 Curb Ramp Type When a sidewalk intersects with a curb a curb cut should be provided per ADA regulations. When a curb cut is not provided to provide access from the sidewalk to the adjacent roadway corridor, pedestrians are discriminated against, and this is considered the highest priority for improvements. No ramp present was also used in situations where navigating stairs was required to travel from the sidewalk to,the adjacent roadway. . G A T E S APPENDIX A-33 VILLAGE OF LEMONT ADA TRANSITION PLAN When no sidewalk is present, there is no obligation for a curb ramp to be present, and these locations were not included in the assessment. The Curb Ramp Score at this location will be scored as a 1 (the worst possible condition). Curb Ramp Type Point Value No Ramp Present (supercedes) 1 All Other Ramp Types For Information Only Table A4c1: Curb Ramp Type Score A.4(c)2 Fixed Obstructions Fixed obstructions range from utility poles and fire hydrants to wide street signs and curb inlets. Fixed Obstructions limit the clear width of a curb ramp as well as being hazardous to visually impaired pedestrians. A clear width of less than 4' is considered hazardous. Other fixed obstructions including vertical displacement and broken sidewalks that do not limit the curb ramp to a clear width of less than 4 feet are classified under other deficiencies within the Curb Ramp Accessibility Score. The Curb Ramp Score at this location will be scored as a 2 (the second -worst possible condition).

If this slope is in the pedestrian circulation path the slope must be less than 10%. Slopes greater than 10% can be a challenge to navigate and can lead to loss of balance. It is possible for the flare slope of a curb ramp to be outside the pedestrian circulation path and therefore the slopes are of no consequence. Flare Slope Point Value > 10% 1 </= 10% 3 Outside of Pedestrian Circulation Path 3 Table A4c5: Curb Ramp Flare Slope Score A.4.(c)6 Curb Ramp Width Narrow curb ramps limit the mobility of pedestrians and can lead to a dangerous passing especially when wheelchairs or walkers are involved. Curb Ramp Width Point Value <4' 1 >4' 5 Table A4c6: Curb Ramp Width Score A.4.(c)7 Gutter Slope The transition between the gutter slope and the counter slope of the roadway, or gutter pan for curb and gutter sections, leads to a sharp transition from the curb ramp to the pavement.

The pedestrian signals are classified as either compliant or non -compliant since the most likely scenario is that pedestrian signals will be updated during future signal improvements. Projects to correct a single non- compliant pedestrian traffic signal are not only an inefficient use of available funds but have a high likelihood of creating more barriers to access as part of retrofitting the upgrade into the existing built environment. When signal upgrades are planned, every pedestrian traffic signal at an intersection should be upgraded to meet requirements. Additionally, curb ramps should be brought into compliance due to the likely disruption associated with the construction of new pedestrian push buttons and pedestrian signal heads. A.4.

The Village -Wide Prioritization Map is also provided to assist village staff in identifying potential projects that will have the greatest impact on pedestrians. The sidewalk segments and curb ramps were prioritized based on the Accessibility Score described in Chapter 6.8 based on the prioritization described in Appendix A.4. The data is shown in varying colors to assist readers in quickly identifying sidewalk segments and curb ramps that are high priorities. The colors for curb ramps represent: • RED — No curb ramp present (where a curb ramp is required) • BLUE — A curb ramp where is obstruction is present and impacts the usability of the curb ramp • PURPLE — 11t Tier Priorities • YELLOW — 2nd Tier Priorities • ORANGE — 3rd Tier Priorities • GREEN — Long -Term Priorities The colors for sidewalk segments represent: • PURPLE — 15t Tier Priorities • YELLOW — 2nd Tier Priorities • ORANGE — 3rd Tier Priorities • PINK— Future planned improvements • GREEN — Long -Term Priorities • BLACK — No sidewalk present (and no obligation under the ADA to add sidewalk) • RED — No sidewalk present (and an obligation under the ADA to add sidewalk) Appendix A-76 to Appendix A-84 focuses on the curb ramps and sidewalk segments were no facilities are provided and an obligation under the ADA exists to provide access.
