The Public Works Department Snow Operations are ready for the winter weather conditions. Please assist Public Works with the clearing of snow and ice from the roads by adhering to the following:

-Do Not Plow or Push Snow into the Street - Move Snow to non-paved areas.

Snow plows do not return to a street after it has been plowed to clear patches of snow that have been redeposited on the paved area of the street by residents and/or contractors plowing, pushing, or blowing snow from a driveway onto or across the street. Snow being redeposited onto the street can result in a citation to the homeowner. Village Ordinance 1020.03 prohibits pushing or blowing snow from a driveway into the public street. The redeposited snow onto a public street can form ice which presents a hazard to vehicular traffic and hinders subsequent snow removal efforts. The Village trucks plow snow to the side of the road and the snow may drift across driveways. It is the property owner's responsibility to remove any snow that is deposited across a driveway to a non-paved area during snow removal operations. Please do not redeposit snow onto paved areas of the street.

In a year that has been difficult for so many, we are humbled by the generosity shown during our Holiday Giving Drive. Thank you to the many residents that contributed to our Holiday Drive to benefit Together We Cope and P.A.W.S. Animal Shelter. Your kindness and generosity to those less fortunate is so appreciated.

The Metra Board of Directors has approved the purchase of up to 500 state-of-the-art railcars. The new multilevel cars will be more comfortable, accessible, reliable and safe than the outdated gallery cars they will replace. The new cars are designed to improve passenger flow, increase safety and reduce time spent boarding and deboarding at each station. They will also be wheelchair accessible for people with disabilities. Driven by consumer research conducted in 2019, the new cars will be designed for modern day comfort and amenities, including video screens, bike racks, storage for bags, charging outlets, cupholders, arm rests and more.
