Some good tips to remember while riding the Illinois Prairie Path through Berkeley!

A key component of the IPPc mission is advocacy. Top priorities, based on your feedback, can be found in the graphic below. We're placing these signs in IPP display cases. The IPPc will continue to work with partner organizations (Counties, municipalities, Forest Preserves, Ride Illinois, Active Transportation Alliance, etc) to identify & implement solutions that improve behavior/safety on the Path.

This week, we take a moment to celebrate the dedicated Public Works professionals who keep Berkeley running each and every day. The unrealized amount of work that these staff members do behind the scenes and out in public keep them busy all year long without a moment to take a bow. This week, we pause to recognize their commitment to making Berkeley a wonderful place to live. Thank you Jorge (19 yrs.), Tim (10 yrs.), Shawn (6 yrs.), Christian (4 yrs.), Nate (3 yrs.) and Joe (21 yrs.) for all you do for the Village of Berkeley!
