ZONING CASE C14-2020-0056 WICKERSHAM IS DESIGNATED AS A HEALTHY STREET WICKERSHAM-OLTORF INTERSECTION There are bike lanes on both Wickersham and Oltorf. Wickersham is designated as a Heathy Street as part of the Country Club Creek Trail. Drive through exits on these streets will create dangerous situations for bike riders. MONTOPOLIS TO WICKERSHAM DISTANCE ON OLTORF WEST-BOUND CARS ON OLTORF ENCOUNTER NO CROSS STREETS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS FROM MONTOPOLIS TO WICKERSHAM, A DISTANCE OF OVER 1 MILE. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45 M/HR. HIGH SPEED WEST-BOUND TRAFFIC ON OLTORF West-bound cars on Oltorf crest the hill east of Wickersham at 40 m/hr. This crest is 270 feet east of the Wickersham intersection. At this speed and distance, a west-bound driver has 4.7 seconds to react to a car entering Oltorf at the Wickersham intersection. This is the reason there are many accidents at this intersection. THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD The area around the Wickersham-Oltorf intersection is entirely residential, with condominiums and apartment complexes on all sides. The residents of the adjacent Monaco and Chamonix condominiums oppose drive- through services. The EROC Contact Team has voted to oppose this change. Drive- through services will disrupt the residential character of this area with increased traffic, noise, and lights. RECOMMENDATIONS • Retain the prohibition on drive-through services. • If the Planning Commission does recommend allowing drive- through services, do not allow high traffic volume services like fast food restaurants.
