Please, for the love of chips and dip during the superbowl! Install a traffic signal.

Adding a traffic light would be one less stress in our lives.

This intersection is just plain terrible. Wait times to make a right or left can take 10 minutes plus. Also, very dangerous and high risks are made to shorten turn wait times.

Hoping you can get a light installed as it is very dangerous trying to exit this business park going any direction with the traffic on 53 moving so quickly.

The light is absolutely necessary for the safety of Woodlake Corporate Park employees and students, it is a very dangerous intersection to cross especially at peak times.

A traffic light for the Woodlake Corporate Park would be a huge safety improvement for traffic leaving the park.

This intersection is dangerous; I have been in an accident there trying to cross 53. It's much worse since the stoplight installation further to the north.

Even turning right onto Rt. 53 is dangerous. Anytime 4-6 pm, one could wait several minutes for the stream of cars to slow enough to allow turning onto 53. Visibility is limited, as one cannot see behind the curve. Another safety issue is cars from the other side of 53 try to enter turning left (heading S on 53) at the same time Woodlake cars are trying to go the same way. A light is definitely needed.

I am an employee of Aspect Software and during rush hour the lack of a traffic light makes existing the corporate park extremely dangerous. A traffic light that only changes when cars are waiting to leave the corporate park would reduce the chance of an accident.

Ever since the traffic light was installed at Rt. 53 and W. Madison St. the traffic pattern on Rt. 53 and Parkview Blvd is become very dangerous. Especially when making a left onto Rt. 53. Please install another traffic light at either the north end or south end of Parkview Blvd so no one get hurts.

Safety is certainly an issue... it only gets worse with weather. A light would be the best solution, programmed to only change when traffic is present from Woodlake. If not. .then provide a public safety officer between 3pm - 5:30pm like Oak Brook does on Butterfield/22nd

This needs to be done. Traffic during rush hour is a nightmare. Trying to head north on to 53 can take anywhere between 5-20 minutes depending on what time it is, how many people are lined up leaving, etc... One time we had 9 cars lined up trying to leave but traffic wouldn't let anyone in. It's a disaster. To whoever makes the final call about this, why don't you come down to the park and try making a left turn out of the north entrance at 5:15 during the week. You'll see I'm not kidding.

We surely need a light...It's dangerous to pulling onto to RT 53 going north making a left turn

I am fully behind this. The fact that there is not an accident everyday is surprising. I have seen many close calls because people get fed up sitting and waiting. A light will help and keep everyone safe

While I make a right turn out of the corporate park, the traffic on 53 often backs up past the entrance and I have to hope for a generous driver to let me out. I can just imagine how bad it is for people turning left.

A light on the south end would be of great benefit.
