A review of traffic on Green Tree Road failed to show a problem, according to both Police Chief Tom Rischmann and traffic engineer Bob Elkin.
A group of residents asked the village to review traffic conditions on Green Tree following a fatal accident on April 18. A driver with a medical problem lost control of his car and struck and killed a pedestrian walking along the road.
Rischmann and Elkin both wrote to the board that while there is more traffic than previously on the road prior to the development of a commercial area on Glendale, the traffic does not exceed the road's capacity. After reviewing the reports, the Village Board last week directed village staff to forward copies of both to residents.
