Trustees seek traffic solutions
Mayor for the day
Antioch gets complaints about speeding on Hillside and Harden By Gail Peckler-Dziki Correspondent
JUDE KAIDER Hi-Liter
Mayor for a Day Emily Andre checks over her agenda with Mayor Larry Hanson looking on at the Antioch Village Hall, 874 Main St. on Sept. 16. Andre, who attended Antioch Community High School and is a recent graduate of American University in Washington D.C., received the honor of becoming “Her Honor” from a relative who won the prize at an ACHS fundraiser. Her one-day term of office is about all she has time for at the moment as she will soon be leaving for a 27-month tour of duty in Senegal, Africa, as a member of the Peace Corps. She will be instructing people there on sustainable agriculture methods.

The Village Board instructed Administrator Jim Keim to conduct a traffic study last spring. Missing from the information presented by Hartnett was number of accidents at the intersection of Harden and Highway 173. There was also no information regarding accidents at the two places where Hillside intersects with Highway 59. Keim said the reason the study wasn’t done earlier was
that traffic patterns during the summer are different than those during the school year. During peak morning and afternoon hours, there are about 1,100 vehicle trips on Hillside and 1,200 trips on Harden. Hartnett determined that half of each are non-residents. There are 65 dwelling units on Harden and those generate, according to Hartnett, between 600 and 650 trips a day. Hartnett also said that the first step in solving the traffic problem is the creation of a policy. “This area isn’t the only problem area in the village,” he said, “and you need some set criteria for determining if traffic calming measures are needed and just what measures are warranted.” Keim told the board that he would begin working on such a policy. Village Trustee Scott Pierce participated in the meeting by phone and he
