Stop Signs Pushed For 2 Hinsdale Intersections

HINSDALE, IL – Hinsdale officials are proposing four-way stops for two intersections.

Under the plan, the village would add stop signs on Walnut Street at Elm Street and on Hickory Street at Lincoln Street. Lincoln and Elm already have stop signs at the intersections.

In both cases, a half dozen right-angle crashes have occurred over the last three years, meeting standard thresholds for stop signs, the village said.

For Walnut and Elm, the police department sent letters to nearly 30 households that may be affected by the change. The responses were mostly supportive, while a couple of residents raised concerns about intersection congestion, the village said.

For Lincoln and Elm, the police mailed letters to almost 40 houses. The village reported the responses were overwhelmingly supportive, with no one objecting.

At its meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, the Village Board will consider the stop sign proposals.
