Talala Construction edit to below: Due to weather concerns this upcoming week, work will be delayed until Monday, September 14th. We will post updates as they are available.

Talala Construction Update: Now that the concrete work is complete, roadway work will begin Wednesday, September 9, 2026. On this date, the roadway will be milled down approximately 5” to prepare for a new asphalt roadway. Residents will temporarily not have access to their driveway as the milling operation passes. If you need to get out of your driveway on this day, please remove your car and park on a side street on Tuesday night. After milling, ramps will be built back to maintain driveway access until the road is built back to grade. No Parking will be allowed on Talala and Towanda Court until two rounds of paving have been completed, or approximately 2 weeks.

Storm Debris Cleanup Schedule Update 🌳

The Village of Park Forest is continuing its communitywide cleanup following the severe storms that left downed trees and branches throughout the Village.

Public Works crews are working through Park Forest in sections to collect storm-related tree and branch debris placed along the parkway. To help residents know when crews are expected in their area, the Village has established the following tentative collection schedule:

🟢 Aug. 17-23: Areas east of Orchard Drive and north of the Old Plank Road Trail - (complete)

🔵 Week of Aug. 23: Areas south of the Old Plank Road Trail and north of Sauk Trail

🟠 Week of Aug. 31: Areas south of Sauk Trail and west of Indianwood Boulevard

🟣 Week of Sept. 7: Areas south of Sauk Trail and east of Indianwood Boulevard

Residents are asked to avoid parking vehicles in front of debris piles so Public Works crews and contracted equipment can safely access and remove the material.

The schedule is approximate and may change depending on the amount of debris crews encounter, weather conditions, and the pace of collection. Residents are encouraged to leave properly placed storm debris accessible until crews reach their area.
