As the wintery weather comes and goes, the Village public works crew stays busy keeping roads and parking lots clear of ice and snow. This can be a difficult task, especially when there is a lot of traffic. Cars can slip and slide on icy roads, making it hard for drivers to stay in control. The public works crew does their best to keep everyone safe by clearing the roads and parking lots as quickly as possible.
According to Village code, keeping sidewalks clear is the responsibility of the property owner. The Village does, however, have a sidewalk plow, and they clear sidewalks when time and workload allow. “Our priority is roads and then parking lots,” explains Village Superintendent Brien Hallahan. “Once they are clear, we are able to work on sidewalks.” The crew focuses first on the sidewalks around State and Judson Streets – the walking routes to school – and moves out from there. For easy clearing and everyone’s safety, please keep sidewalks and driveway clear of obstructions.
Also, again this year, the Village will pick up Christmas trees for disposal. Please leave your tree by the front curb and the crews will pick them up as they are able
