🚧 Car Show Parking UPDATE for TONIGHT (6/22/26) 🚧

🚦 Due to a malfunctioning traffic light at 9th and State Street, all car show vehicles will be parallel-parked along State Street. The Lockport Police Department (IL) will not be shutting down any parts of State Street for tonight’s car show, so traffic can continue moving and backups can be avoided while the traffic signal is out.

⚠️ Please use caution and patience in the area, as the traffic light is expected to be out of service for a few days due to the severity of the outage. An alternative route is recommended when possible.

🎉 Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

🌳 Storm Debris Cleanup Update 🌳

Public Works crews are continuing to clean up debris from the recent storms throughout the City.

If you have branches that need to be collected, please place them at the curb with the cut end facing the street. Crews will be traveling every street in the City to collect storm debris, so there is no need to call the City to request pickup.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as our crews work diligently to complete this citywide cleanup effort.
