Do you have branches that were knocked down by this week's severe thunderstorms? Public Works will be performing a residential storm debris pickup starting Monday, June 22. 🌳🌩️

Here's what you should know:
• Place branches in the parkway (but not blocking roadways or sidewalks).
• Place the split or cut ends toward the road.
• Stack branches neatly, but not bound or tied.
• Don’t place branches in bags or garbage cans.
• This pickup is for small to medium size branches, not tree trunks or large limbs (Ask yourself: Can a chipper chip this?).
•Crews will start on the north end of town and work south.

⏱️ Make sure all branches are stacked in the parkway by the evening of Sunday, June 21 to ensure pickup.
❓Questions regarding parkway trees? Contact Public Works at 847-459-2545 (M-F, 7 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.). After hours, call the non-emergency police number at 847-459-2560.

‼️ Changes are coming to micromobility in Illinois! 🚲⚡️🛴

The Illinois General Assembly recently passed legislation changing how micromobility devices such as e-bikes and e-scooters are regulated. While the new law won't take effect until January 1, 2027, the Village has a local ordinance in place to help promote rider safety.
