News From the Highway Commissioner
Snow Removal Operations
The Libertyville Township Highway Department plows approximately 28 miles of unincorporated Libertyville Township roads, including centerline roads, cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets. The Illinois Department of Transportation plows state roads, including Routes 45, 21 (Milwaukee Avenue), 43 (Waukegan Road), 176 (Park Avenue), 60 (Townline Road) and 120 (Belvidere Road). The Lake County Division of Transportation maintains county roads, including Butterfield Road, Winchester Road and St. Mary’s Road.
Plowing generally begins when snow is more than one-inch deep and freezing temperatures indicate that the snow will not melt.
- Please do not shovel or blow snow back into the street after it has been plowed and salted. Snow that is deposited on the street can refreeze and cause hazardous conditions for you or your neighbors
- When it starts to snow, park your vehicle off the street. This protects it from being plowed in. It also prevents receiving a ticket and being towed
- Check that your mailbox and post are in good repair and that they are behind the curb, not leaning out over the street.
- If there is a fire hydrant in front of your home, clear the snow around it. It is there for your protection and that of your neighbors.
- Please remove portable basketball hoops from the right-of-way. The Township is not responsible for damages that occur during snow removal operations.
- Please place garbage and recycling bins on the apron of the driveway. These bins are not to be placed on the roadway as they become hazards for plow drivers.

It's Not Too Late for the Flu Shot!
Protect yourself and fight the flu by getting a flu shot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone ages 6 months and older receive an annual flu shot by the end of October before influenza activity increases as it takes about two weeks after the vaccination for the body’s immune system to fully respond and for you to be protected.
The Lake County Health Department offers the flu vaccine by appointment at the Immunizations Clinic, 2303 Dodge Ave., Waukegan.

, including cost. Retail clinics, pharmacies, and individual healthcare providers also provide flu shots. Visit the
