3 1 INTRODUCTION

We envision a community where all people - –pedestrians, dog walkers, cyclists, transit users, and drivers of all ages and abilities can use our streets for transportation. Through the implementation of this plan, Lisle will improve access to its core downtown, become a destination for visitors, and be a safe, healthy, and environmentally friendly place to live.

4 1.1 ABOUT THE PLAN

This vision for Lisle began to take shape in 2019 when the Village of Lisle Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) initiated a process to develop a bicycle and pedestrian action plan. The BPAC’’s goal was to find ways to encourage more walking and biking trips to parks, schools, business corridors, downtown Lisle, and other regional destinations. The resulting plan includes recommended improvements to roads and intersections, ideas for programs and policies to encourage more people to walk and bike, and actions for the Village and its partners to advance implementation.

Objectives This plan includes many actions to be implemented by the Village of Lisle and its partners over time. Each step taken will get the Village closer to its vision and the below objectives: » Improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity to local and regional destinations. » Enable all pedestrians and bicyclists to feel safe and comfortable on streets and trails. » Provide low-stress access for pedestrians and bicyclists to nature, trails, and the East Branch of the DuPage River. » Create a greater sense of community and connections. » Make Lisle an attractive place to live where people want and choose to walk and bike for transportation.

Cyclists riding on the Community Park Path. 5 1.2 WHYLisle’s WALKING health AND BIKING MATTERS Transportation intersects with many other social issues. As Lisle builds out its pedestrian and bicycle network, it may benefit in many ways.

Health: People who live in neighborhoods with sidewalks are 47% more likely to be active 30 minutes a day.

Safety: In Illinois, 18 people are injured everyday walking and biking and a person is killed every 3 days.

Environment: In Chicagoland, 40% of all trips are under 1-mile. Shifting these shorter distance trips to walking or biking reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to cleaner air and reduces traffic congestion.

Equity: About 1/3 of the state population does not drive, including people with disabilities, seniors, and youth. These groups depend on accessible and comfortable walking, biking, and public transportation facilities to get around.

Economy: Walkers and bicyclists make more frequent trips to local businesses and spend more money on average than drivers.

6 1.3 PLANNING PROCESS The consultant team in partnership with the BPAC and Lisle staff used the following process to arrive at the recommendations presented in this plan.

Step 1: Research & Establish Step 3: Develop Recommendations Community Priorities » Develop bicycle and pedestrian network » Draft vision with bicycle and pedestrian maps committee’’ » Identify targeted route improvements » Launch an online survey and map » Create a toolbox of improvements for » Host community meeting intersections » Review data and existing plans » Recommend policies and programs to » Develop a draft vision statement be implemented with infrastructure improvements Step 2: Analyze & Synthesize Findings » Present draft recommendations to the BPAC » Conduct on-bike fieldwork » Create a draft plan » Evaluate findings from community meeting Step 4: Finalize Recommendations and survey » Develop implementation matrix » Establish criteria for selecting routes » Finalize plan » Identify areas for improvement » Present plan to bicycle and pedestrian committee and Village board

9 EXISTING 2 CONDITIONS

Walkable, bikeable communities provide routes that are comfortable for people of all ages and abilities and provide convenient access to local destinations. This chapter looks at the work the Village and other agencies have already done to improve walkability and bikeability, ways the Lisle transportation network serves pedestrians and bicyclists, and where improvements can be made. The goal was to assess current usage, needs, and provide a baseline for evaluating implementation over time.

10 2.1 EXISTING & ONGOING PLANS This plan builds on other initiatives and studies developed by the Village of Lisle and its partner agencies, which provide details on proposed routes, priority destinations, and anticipated improvements to Lisle’s streets and places.

Source: Level of Traffic Stress Analysis using data from Illinois Roadway Inventory System and Village of Lisle. See http://www. 27 northeastern.edu/peter.furth/research/level-of-traffic-stress/ 2.6 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS Lisle has many assets that can be built upon to increase pedestrian and bicycle mobility.

Parks, retail destinations, employment centers, and cultural institutions are distributed throughout the community, creating hubs of activity. Its quiet residential streets, many miles of trails, on-street bikeways, and sidewalks are already comfortable for walking and biking. There is a demand for additional infrastructure, which could yield even more trips. The following recommendations can help encourage more walking and biking in Lisle and advance the vision of this plan.

Improve access to Local and Regional Forge Partnerships with Local Institutions Destinations by Creating a Complete, and Other Roadway Jurisdictions Connected, Low-Stress Network of to Create Continuous and Context Pedestrian and Bicycle Routes on Appropriate Pedestrian and Bicycle Local Roads Routes on County and State Roads: 1. Enhance pedestrian mobility by installing 1. Continue to work with local institutions to provide sidewalks on at least one side of each street new connections along major corridors, including around important destinations. Lisle can the Morton Arboretum, Benedictine University, St. continue to build on its sidewalk network Procopius Abbey, and Commonwealth Edison to by prioritizing gaps on blocks that connect provide new connections along major corridors. to commercial areas, schools, parks, and 2. Continue partnerships with DuPage County and employment centers. the Illinois Department of Transportation to 2. Build on the existing network of off-street improve pedestrian and bicycle access along key trails and local bikeways to create a corridors. connected bicycle network. The Village can 3. Develop targeted improvements in coordination continue to build on the local trail network with DuPage County and the Illinois Department by creating marked and signed routes on of Transportation to enhance crossings along the comfortable, local roads. pedestrian and bicycle network on arterials and 3. Increase connectivity between neighborhoods collectors. by creating new cut-throughs at dead-end streets adjacent to parks and other public properties. Some neighborhoods lack connected local streets, requiring people to travel long distances to get from point to point, often along busy arterials. 4. Increase pedestrian and bicycle visibility at school and park crossings and in business districts.

28 Establish Local Initiatives and Processes to Advance Implementation of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan: 1. Develop and adopt policies to guide and support plan implementation, including a Complete Streets Policy, a sidewalk policy, and a traffic calming policy. 2. Create a toolbox to promote and support pedestrian and bicycle education and usage for people of all ages. These can include walking and biking safety resources, a social media strategy for messaging, and strategies for making events more walking and biking friendly. 3. Create a list of near-term improvements to incorporate into the annual Capital Improvement Plan. Cyclists exiting Surrey Ridge Park. 4. Seek opportunities for state and federal funding to advance long-term projects.

Cyclists entering Pennywood Park.

29 3 RECOMMENDATIONS

A critical step in advancing the vision of this plan is to develop complete, accessible, context- sensitive sidewalks, trails, bikeways, and intersections. This chapter includes recommendations for the types of improvements needed and where to make them as well as program and policy ideas.

30 3.1 PEDESTRIAN ROUTES No matter the primary mode of travel used, every trip taken begins and ends with a walk. Sidewalks are essential to creating a safe, comfortable, and accessible transportation network for people of all ages and abilities.

Pedestrian Route Design Guidance and Considerations » Install sidewalks on at least one side of each block and each side of heavily traveled roads or on roads that provide access to key destinations, including parks, schools, and business districts. » Sidewalks should be at least 5-feet wide. Sidewalks 6-feet or wider are preferred in places with high pedestrian foot traffic, such as around schools, parks, and in commercial areas. » A minimum 4’-foot wide grass buffer is preferred on all streets, though parking lanes and/or furniture zones may be used in downtown areas. » Work with private property owners and partner agencies to build sidewalks where no public-right-of- way is available. » Bicycling on sidewalks is permitted in Lisle. In locations where cycling is most likely to occur, construct a sidepath of at least 8-feet wide with a 4-foot wide buffer.

Commercial sidewalks should provide ample space for people to walk Sidepaths run parallel to roads and are shared with pedestrians and and a buffer area to separate pedestrians from traffic. cyclists. A sidewalk should be provided on the opposite side of the road.

Buffer Example cross-section on an arterial with a 5-foot sidewalk, 5’ buffer, 12’ vehicle lanes, 8’ buffer, and 10’ sidepath. Pedestrian Route Recommendations The map on the following page details the current gaps in Lisle’s sidewalk network. The long-term goal is to have sidewalks on at least one side of each street and both sides in areas with high pedestrian traffic and along arterials. Because there are many miles of sidewalk needed to meet this goal, this plan establishes a hierarchy of sidewalk projects by priority and feasibility. If an opportunity to complete a project due to a Capital Improvement, grant, or development arises, the Village would proceed with a project in a later phase to ensure efficiency and connectivity: » Phase 1 Pedestrian Routes are along streets adjacent to key destinations. They are located on local roads and have fewer implementation challenges. These are high priority projects that should be tackled first as funding is made available. » Phase 2 Pedestrian Routes are located on arterials and collectors. These are important projects for achieving connectivity but will require coordination with other agencies and may require right-of-way acquisition or stormwater improvements. Due to their cost and complexity, it is recommended that the Village first explore the feasibility of implementing these routes. » Phase 3 Pedestrian Routes are located on residential streets with no sidewalks or private paths not directly adjacent to a destination. This plan assumes the Village will provide a continuous sidewalk on one side of each of these blocks. Once the Phase 1 and 2 projects are complete and funding becomes available, these projects should be implemented next. Given the number of miles of Phase 3 projects, this plan recommends reassessing and prioritizing these projects based on funding and local demand. A full list of projects is included on pages 34-39. 32 Recommended Pedestrian Routes and Implementation Approach

39 Pedestrian Route Implementation Guidance

The following steps can be taken by the Public Works Department in coordination with the Village Board and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee to advance projects:

» Identify an annual expenditure amount to allocate per year to pedestrian projects and supplement by targeting grant funding. The Illinois Transportation Enhancements Program (ITEP), RTA Access to Transit Program, Surface Transportation Funding (STP), or Safe Routes to School (SRTS) can help offset 80% of the cost of construction and enable Lisle to stretch its budget. For larger funding sources, like ITEP, projects should be bundled to make a stronger funding application. For example, an application can be submitted to implement all Phase 1 projects. » Establish performance goals such as linear feet of sidewalks and sidepaths to target for improvement each year. Develop simple metrics to track the progress of plan implementation, such as linear feet constructed per year, linear feet improved per year, number of ADA improvements made at intersections. These metrics should be reported annually in a public forum or online. By setting these goals, the Village can think strategically about how to target specific areas for improvement when applying for grant funding. » Reassess these recommendations to ensure they are meeting the community’s needs. Community preferences and needs change over time. The prioritization model established by this plan should be periodically looked at to see if it is addressing the areas that most need improvement in Lisle. » Continue to maintain existing sidewalks to remove hazards. Sidewalk maintenance is as important as installation. Lisle has several programs to ensure existing sidewalks are in good condition and free from hazards. These include the Trip Hazard Reduction Program, and Sidewalk and Curb Replacement Program. This program should continue so that the Village can maintain a high-quality sidewalk network. » Adopt a Complete Streets Policy. A Complete Streets Policy will provide a framework for considering walking and biking improvements as a standard part of roadway projects. Communities that have Complete Streets Policies score more points on several funding sources, including STP. » Continue to work with private developers to ensure sidewalk goals and design standards are met. The Village should enforce street and sidewalk standards for new development and redevelopment projects along Ogden Avenue and downtown and require developers to install sidewalks in all new subdivisions and developments.

40 3.2 BIKE ROUTES The goal of bike network design is to provide the most comfortable facility for the least experienced cyclists while also balancing the needs of pedestrians and drivers.

Bike Route Design Guidance and Considerations

Recommended bike facility types vary by the speed of the road, available right-of-way, average daily traffic, and design standards used by the jurisdiction. » Signed Routes: Mount bike route signage on local roads with low traffic volumes that connect between neighborhoods and key destinations. Signs should include information about distances and directions to travel to reach destinations. » Marked Shared Lanes: Install marked shared lanes on local roads with low- to moderate traffic volumes that connect to key destinations or provide cross-neighborhood connectivity. Place marked shared lane markings at least every 1000-feet. Markings may be placed more frequently along busier streets or where block lengths are shorter. Streets with shared lane markings should be accompanied by Bikes May Use Full Lane signs. » Bike Lanes: Place bike lanes on wide local roads with no on-street parking and moderate traffic. Bike lanes should be at least 5’-feet wide. » Trails: Trails are recommended for specific natural areas to improve local and regional connectivity. Depending on the location, a trail may be paved or unpaved. Trails shared by pedestrians and cyclists should be at least 8’-feet wide.

Bike route signage helps cyclists navigate to key destinations along preferred bike routes. Signs should include information about distances, destinations, and directions.

Bike lanes designate a space for cyclists on a road and encourage Install marked shared lanes on streets with high bike traffic, on-street drivers and cyclists to behave predictably. They also reduce parking, and limited lane width. Indicate the proper lane position to motor vehicle speeds and lower the risk of severe crashes. At a cyclists and cautions drivers to expect cyclists on the road. minimum, bike lanes should be 5’ wide. 41 6’ 9’ 7’ 10’ 10’ 7’ 9’ 6’ Sidewalk Parking Shared Shared Parking Sidewalk Lane Lane/ Lane/ Lane Vehicle Vehicle Buffer Buffer Lane Lane Example of a street with 10-foot wide shared lanes, 7-foot parking lanes.

Bike Route Recommendations The map on the following page details the recommended bike network for Lisle. The long-term goal is to have a connected network of context-appropriate bikeways. Because there are many miles of proposed bike routes needed to meet this goal, this plan groups projects based on location and complexity. Although the Village would typically adhere to the phased approach, if there is an opportunity to complete a project due to a Capital Improvement, grant, or development, the Village would proceed with a project in a later group to ensure efficiency and connectivity:

» Group 1 Bike Routes: These projects are in and around downtown Lisle - north of Maple Avenue, South of Ogden Avenue, east of Lincoln Ave/Route 53, and west of I-355. They provide access to the existing on-street bike network and connect to key destinations like the Metra Station. » Group 2 Bike Routes: These projects are located around Community Park - north of South Rd, south of Burlington Avenue, east of Pennywood Drive and west of Lincoln Ave/Route 53. They tie into existing bike paths and connect to other destinations like Lisle High School. » Group 3 Bike Routes: These projects are located north of Ogden Avenue. They will tie into the eventual Lisle North Connector Bikeway and the intersection of Route 53 and Park Blvd. (location of the entrance to The Morton Arboretum), which will be studied separately from this plan. » Group 4 Bike Routes: These projects are located on the south side of Lisle and connect to the existing Green Trails neighborhood. » Group 5 Bike Routes: These projects are long-term trail projects. One is to formalize an unpaved path through Egermann Woods to connect to the connect to Hobson Road. The other proposes collaboration with Commonwealth Edison to build a trail along the utility right-of-way. Each of these projects will take additional time and coordination with external agencies. Since these projects are outside of Lisle, it cannot lead them but should it should be ready to partner and start conversations with lead agencies.

A full list of projects is included on pages 45-47.

47 Bike Route Implementation Guidance The following steps can be taken by the Public Works Department in coordination with the Village Board and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee to advance projects: » Identify an annual expenditure amount to allocate per year to bike projects and supplement by targeting grant funding. The Illinois Transportation Enhancements Program (ITEP), RTA Access to Transit Program, Surface Transportation Funding (STP), or Safe Routes to School (SRTS) can help offset 80% of the cost of construction and enable Lisle to stretch its budget.

These metrics should be reported annually in a public forum or online. By setting these goals, the Village can think strategically about how to target specific areas for improvement when applying for grant funding. » Reassess these recommendations to ensure they are meeting the community’s needs. Community preferences and needs change over time and new infrastructure improvements may produce unintended results. The prioritization model established by this plan should be periodically looked at to see if it is addressing the areas that most need improvement in Lisle and all new projects should be evaluated for safety and community opinion. » Develop an asset management plan to ensure regular maintenance and upkeep of bikeways. On-street pavement markings have a limited lifespan and will need to be refreshed every few years. The markings should be inspected and re-applied over time. In addition, pavement markings and signage are often not replaced after construction occurs on a road. the Village should develop a process for inspecting roads after construction projects to ensure pavement markings are replaced to the proper specification. » Adopt a Complete Streets Policy. A Complete Streets Policy will provide a framework for considering walking and biking improvements as a standard part of roadway projects. Communities that have Complete Streets Policies score more points on several funding sources, including STP.

48 3.3 INTERSECTIONS The goal of these intersection recommendations is to improve crossings along proposed pedestrian and bicycle routes. Several tools are recommended and described below. Intersection Tools Many different tools could be used at intersections around Lisle. Below is a list of tailored tools to address specific locations and issues identified by the community. Improvements recommended vary by the geometry of the intersection, type of road, type of traffic control, and other factors.

Intersection Implementation Guidance

The following steps can be taken by the Public Works Department in coordination with the Village Board and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee to advance projects:

» Coordinate with external agencies to advance recommendations on their roads. Many of the intersections targeted for improvement are on IDOT and DuPage County roads. These improvements will need to be approved by these agencies. The Village should work with these agencies to determine if the intersections are in their multi-year plans and if cost-sharing is an option. » Implement intersection improvements in conjunction with pedestrian and bicycle routes. On local roads, signage, crosswalks, curb ramps, and other small-scale improvements can be implemented at the same time as a sidewalk installation or bikeway project. This section should be referenced to ensure these projects happen as work is conducted. » •Reassess these recommendations to ensure they are meeting the community’s needs. Community preferences and needs change over time and new infrastructure improvements may produce unintended results. The prioritization model established by this plan should be periodically looked at to see if it is addressing the areas that most need improvement in Lisle and all new projects should be evaluated for safety and community opinion. » Develop an asset management plan to ensure regular maintenance and upkeep of intersections. Crosswalks and signage need to be replaced frequently. The Village should conduct regular audits of intersections to ensure these assets are in good condition, visible, and usable by the public. » Adopt a Complete Streets Policy. A Complete Streets Policy will provide a framework for considering walking and biking improvements as a standard part of roadway projects. Communities that have Complete Streets Policies score more points on several funding sources, including STP. 53 3.4 AMENITIES Amenities such as benches, lighting, bike racks, and bus shelters can encourage more active transportation trips. These should be considered at destinations as the network is developed.

Amenities Guidance Below is a list of amenities to use around Lisle at parks, commercial areas, and other attractions. Specific design standards can be developed for districts and sub-areas.

Pedestrian-Scale Lighting Pedestrian-scale lighting is essential for creating safe street environments. Conventional street lighting, designed primarily to light the vehicle way, often is inadequate for pedestrian needs, leaving unlit areas and dark shadows on walkways. Pedestrian-scale lighting is especially important in cold-weather climates with long winter nights. Pedestrian-scale lighting illuminates potential tripping hazards and makes pedestrians more visible to drivers. Pedestrian-scale lighting also can illuminate bikeways near walking areas. Retrofits of existing streetlights and new installations should provide lighting on sidewalks and multi-use paths. Pedestrian-scale lighting should be coordinated with building and property owners to include building-mounted lighting for sidewalks, alleys, paths, and stairways where poles would obstruct

Pedestrian scaled street lighting the pedestrian zone.

Public Seating Benches and other seating areas are essential elements of the walking environment, providing comfortable places for people to rest, eat, socialize, or read in a public space. A well-sited bench creates a sense of place for the immediate surrounding area.

Benches and seating area

54 Transit Shelters Transit shelters should be provided in any area prioritized for transit. Transit shelters should be designed to fully shield waiting passengers from inclement weather. While custom shelters can be developed, all designs should meet the specifications of the servicing transit agencies. Generally, shelters should be at least 5 feet deep and long enough to provide space for a minimum of three seats plus wheelchair accessibility. Bus transit shelters typically are placed in the buffer area so passengers can board more readily. Transit shelter placement should never limit the pedestrian Bus shelter way to less than 5 feet.

Bike Racks The best choices for sidewalk bike parking are inverted U or ring designs, which maximize the potential locking area and can stand alone or be grouped. Sidewalk bike parking structure designs can be integrated with the design aesthetic of other street furnishings and public art. Sidewalk bike racks should be placed in the frontage or furniture zones, so bicyclists using them do not interfere unduly with building access or the pedestrian zone. Sidewalk bike parking structures can do double duty by substituting for bollards. In areas where

Covered bike parking long-term bike parking is expected, such as the Metra Station or employment centers, covered bike parking should be considered.

Wayfinding Signage and Informational Kiosks Maps and informational kiosks can be placed at the Metra station to direct visitors to regional destinations and local shops and services.

56 3.5 PROGRAMS & POLICIES

Overview In addition to infrastructure improvements, Lisle can develop community initiatives and set protocols to encourage more walking and biking trips. This section includes a list of strategies that can be implemented by the Village and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.

» Walk and Biking Education Campaign: Education Distribute information about pedestrian and Engaging educational activities and resources cycling safety and the transportation network can be designed to promote safe travel behavior through local media, newspapers, social media, on local streets and help build more community community partners, the private sector, and support and interest in walking, biking, and transit. health providers. The following educational programs and resources » Driver Safety Education: Regularly educate can be coordinated by the Village and the Bicycle residents on cell phone use, speeding laws, and Pedestrian Advisory Committee: sharing the road, and rules of the road. » Pedestrian & Bicycle Training: Offer » Snow Clearing Ordinance & Assistance pedestrian and bicycle training for adults, Program: Require residents to clear snow teens, and youth such as safety classes, bike and ice from the sidewalks adjacent to their mechanics workshops, and on-bike education properties promptly. Review and update classes through the Park District or library municipal code to specify when snow removal programming. needs to occur, under what conditions, and how » Youth Bike Mechanics: Youth can learn much needs to be removed. Additionally, work to assemble bikes, ride safely, and use their with local organizations to develop a volunteer knowledge to create a “pop-up” bike repair shop. snow clearance program to help older adults or » Local Bike Map: Produce and distribute a free those with disabilities shovel their sidewalks. map of Lisle that includes safe bicycling and walking routes to key places and safety tips. This map can also be posted at a kiosk at the Metra Station.

On a monthly or quarterly making short errands to local shops. basis, Lisle and the various organizations within it should submit relevant event information to a designated calendar manager, selected by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. » Advertising Strategy for Event Promotion: To promote Lisle events and help event organizers reach a wider audience around the region, the public calendar should be cross- promoted by regional agencies and community organizations. In addition to the cross- promotion of events between key partners, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee should take the lead to create an advertising strategy to include online and print marketing materials. » Seasonal Walking & Biking Events: Organize Bikes and Bungalows Tour in Berwyn seasonal walking and biking events to feature the natural beauty and the Lisle active transportation network of the region. Seasonal event ideas include an Earth Day park clean-up, a Summer bike wash, a Fall Halloween bike ride, and a Winter holiday trail of lights. » Open Streets: Close a local street to vehicles and open it for walking, biking, and informal play. For example, one or both directions of Main Street could be closed for a weekend to host programming such as walking, biking, a bike rodeo obstacle course, yoga, dance, face painting, arts and crafts, and live music.

58 Policy Recommendations

Additional policies can be adopted to help support the goals of this plan. The following ideas could be considered by the Village.•

» Complete Streets Policy: Adopt a Complete Streets Policy that commits to the accommodation of pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motor vehicles in transportation construction and maintenance projects whenever appropriate. Communities with a Complete Streets policy will be better positioned to take advantage of transportation Bike racks at a school in Glencoe funding opportunities. » Zoning Code: Update the municipal zoning code and subdivision regulations to ensure connectivity and access for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users in all new and redeveloped sites. With the right strategies, zoning can be used to minimize distance barriers, build new bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and maximize connectivity. Additional zoning resources are available through Change Lab Solutions and CMAP. » Bike Parking Request Form: Set up a process for allowing residents and businesses to request bike parking online. In addition, to create more community ownership, each municipality could A complete street in Richton Park work with local students or volunteers to design and build bike racks. » Conduct Speed Limit Reduction Study on Main Street: Main Street is one of the few Village- controlled speeds with a 30 MPH speed limit. In coordination with the Village Police Department, Public Works should conduct a traffic study to confirm the feasibility of a 25 MPH on Main Street.
