The Village is pleased to announce the official launch of our newly designed website! The redesign process began in 2022, with the goal of enhancing the design and improving the usability of the Village website. The updated website introduces new features that address accessibility and allow easy access to information on Village services, programs, and events.

The Lindenhurst Citizens’ Academy is back! Applications are now being accepted for the 2023 Citizens’ Academy. The Citizens’ Academy is an 8-week program that runs from September-November with weekly classes occurring on Wednesday nights from 6:30 pm-8:30 pm. Academy participants will learn more about the daily operations of the Village’s Police, Public Works, and Administration departments through a variety of formats that include group discussions, field trips to Village facilities, and hands-on activities.

Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis after completing a background check. Applications and program information can be found by visiting the Village website at www.lindenhurstil.org/citizensacademy. We hope to see you there!

Last month, a new pedestrian crossing was installed at Sand Lake Road and Country Place. The new pedestrian crossing features a flashing beacon in addition to a pedestrian crossing sign.

To activate the beacon, pedestrians and cyclists must press the button located on the beacon. As a friendly reminder, cars must yield to pedestrians and cyclists crossing the street regardless if the beacon lights are activated, as it is a state law.

Need to report non-emergency issues to the Village, such as potholes, streetlights, or overgrown grass? The Village has recently launched our new service request system for residents to report and request issues/ work orders.

Our new service request system aims to be more user-friendly for residents to submit requests by grouping similar work categories together, such as streets, water, and trees. From there, residents can drill down to specific request types to narrow down their requests. For more information on our new service request system, please visit www.lindenhurstil.org/servicerequests.

Enjoy these photos of members of the Lindenhurst Police Department engaging with our community.

Officer Slechter was out and about on the bicycle, handing out stickers and tattoos to residents.

Officer Siddens stopped by a party and even played a little volleyball.

All meetings are at 7:00 pm and are located at Village Hall. Agendas and packets are located on the Village website.
