Snow covers a traffic signal at the intersection of Route 12, and Johnsburg Road on Jan. 25, 2023, after snow fell throughout the morning.

The Feb. 26 Wheaton City Council planning session will include discussion of potentially installing a traffic signal on Roosevelt Road near St. Francis High School and Target.

The city has received requests to install a traffic signal between County Farm Road and Fapp Circle to address vehicle and pedestrian traffic activity.

This meeting will include an in-depth review of the surrounding intersections and the results of traffic studies performed to determine recommended actions for this area.

Roosevelt Road (Route 38) is a state-owned highway under the jurisdiction of the state. Any action taken will require the coordination of the state, the city and affected property owners.

The planning session agenda is posted on the city’s website under the City Council planning session section, and the agenda will include the link to attend via Zoom.
