2.2 <strong>School</strong> Arrival and Dismissal Procedures 2.3 Existing Roadway Conditions<br />

Each school in <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>School</strong> District 91 is equipped with<br />

crossing guards, a designated school bus drop-off area, and a<br />

vehicle drop-off area. Since no District 91 school has a parking<br />

lot, conflicts between vehicles and walkers are not an issue on<br />

school grounds. However, traffic congestion at intersections<br />

surrounding schools creates complications and safety issues.<br />

<strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Park</strong> schools are challenged by a lack of space for vehicle<br />

drop-off, which can be viewed as an opoprtunity to encourage<br />

more walking and biking trips to school.<br />

The consultants inventoried existing traffic signals, crosswalks,<br />

and signage in the Village of <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Park</strong>. The existing<br />

engineering conditions are detailed in the Existing Conditions<br />

map on the following page.<br />

Traffic re-routing helps ease congestion in <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Park</strong>.<br />
