# 2026-09-16 Village of Villa Park Plan Commission Meeting

The Village of Villa Park Plan Commission held a meeting on September 16, 2026, primarily discussing pedestrian safety improvements at school crossings. The commission reviewed potential installations of rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RFBs) at various school crosswalks, including Yale and School Street, Vermont and Wisconsin, and others. Engineering staff recommended RFB installations at select locations, estimating costs between $5,000 and $15,000 per installation depending on specifications. The commission sought participation from the local school districts to share costs before proceeding and decided to table further action until more information on cost-sharing and budget considerations is obtained. Additionally, the commission received an update on the Villa Avenue improvement project, which includes resurfacing, traffic signal timing adjustments, and a new multi-use bike path, with construction planned for 2031 pending federal funding. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting.
