Village of Posen Awarded ComEd Grant to Launch School Zone Safety Initiative

The Village of Posen has been awarded a $9,400 grant through the Powering Safe Communities program, a joint partnership between Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus. The funding will directly support the newly launched “Posen School Zone Safety Initiative,” a project designed to significantly improve traffic safety and protect students around Posen Elementary School and Gordon Middle School. The Village of Posen is matching the award with $9,400 in municipal expenditures and in-kind services, bringing the total project investment to $18,800.
The safety initiative funds the purchase and installation of four solar-powered radar speed feedback signs, alongside updated “School Zone” speed limit signage. These advanced digital signs will display real-time vehicle speeds, flash warning lights when drivers exceed the limit, and continuously collect traffic data to help local law enforcement monitor area safety. The signs will be programmed to enforce a 20 mph speed limit during school hours while remaining active around the clock to safeguard students attending after-school activities.
“The success of the Powering Safe Communities Program reflects the strong partnership between ComEd and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, and our shared commitment to building safer and more resilient communities,” said Melissa Washington, senior vice president of government, regulatory and external affairs at ComEd. “We’re proud to help support local projects and invest in communities that are building for the future.”Administered by the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, the Powering Safe Communities program provides grants of up to $10,000 for local public safety, clean transportation, and electrification projects that reduce emissions, improve public health, and advance community resiliency. Installation of the new radar speed signs and updated signage is scheduled to begin in the coming months. The Village urges all drivers to remain vigilant, obey posted speed limits, and help keep Posen’s school zones safe for all children and families.

Dear Posen Residents and Local Business Owners,
As the summer season comes to a close, I want to remind everyone that the new academic year is just around the corner. School will officially be back in session starting Monday, August 17, 2026.
The safety of our children is our highest priority. To better protect the students who attend Posen School, the Posen Police Department, in coordination with local school officials, is implementing a new traffic safety measure for the entire 2026–2027 school year.
New Traffic Pattern Details
Beginning August 17, California Avenue between 145th Street and 146th Street will be converted into a one-way street during designated student drop-off and pick-up hours.
Allowed Direction: Traffic will only be permitted to travel northbound on California Avenue from 146th Street.
Applicable Hours: This restriction will be in effect on all school days, Monday through Friday, during the following times:
Morning: 7:15 AM – 8:15 AM
Afternoon: 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
Working Together for Student Safety
We recognize that changes to daily routines and local traffic patterns can cause temporary inconveniences. However, these steps are vital to preventing congestion and ensuring that our children arrive at and leave school safely every single day.
We kindly ask all motorists, delivery drivers, and neighborhood residents to plan their commutes accordingly, exercise extra caution, and adhere strictly to the posted signage and officers directing traffic.
Thank you for your cooperation, patience, and continued commitment to making Posen a safe community for our families and students. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these changes, please feel free to reach out to the Posen Police Department.
Sincerely,
William Alexander
Chief of Police
Village of Posen
