Yesterday I attended the ground breaking for the Wolf’s Crossing and Douglas Road roundabout.

A few notes about this project that I think will be of interest to residents:
- This roundabout will be built in a phased approach, which means little to no road closures.
- As was pointed out by Deputy Police Chief Yackley, roundabouts offer a safer intersection for drivers, reducing the number of conflict points from 32 to 8 and reducing the severity of accidents, if they happen.
- The project is fully funded through responsible budgeting and predominantly grants, thanks to Rep. Lauren Underwood and former Rep. Keith Wheeler - State Representative.

In my comments at last night's Village Board Meeting, I spoke about the statistic that 1 in 3 women experience sexual and physical abuse, most often perpetrated by someone they know.

I’ve spent a few days processing the news that a woman in our community was killed by someone she knew. She was a wife, a mother, a daughter. She was many people’s “someone”.

May she rest in peace and may their memories of her be a blessing to her family and friends.

Heartbreaking news this morning. My deepest sympathies go out to the victims’ family and friends. I’m thinking about the Fox Chase residents whose homes were impacted and hearts were also broken by this news.

Thank you to the Oswego Fire Protection District and neighboring fire departments for working to extinguish the fire and prevent further damage to neighboring homes. And a thank you to the Village of Oswego Police, IL for providing support and keeping the public informed.
