Monday night’s Village Board meeting was a full house with at least 40 people speaking about Northwest Community Hospital’s request to re-open hospital driveway exits on to Kirchhoff Road. The exits were temporarily closed in 2003. Only emergency vehicles are allowed to use the driveways during the temporary closure.
Residents north of the hospital oppose the exits onto Kirchhoff Road because of congestion along Kirchhoff Road, and safety issues created by cut-through traffic, especially along northbound Ridge Avenue. Angle crossing at Kirchhoff Road can be difficult because of the southeast/northwest orientation of Kirchhoff Road compared to the north/south orientation of Ridge Avenue.
A special meeting on Northwest Community Hospital’s exits is scheduled for April 30, 2012.
