Village update from the Streets

Leaf pick up and paving plans
Posted by Anne Pannabecke... on Thursday, November 17, 2016

Village wide leaf pick up is well under way! 

As temperatures continue to fall and frosts hit our ground, so will the leaves. If you are staying ahead of the game by continuing to rake to the tree lawn area, our crews greatly appreciate it! As in the past, the street crew will temporarily suspend pick up next week, as it is a short week due the Thanksgiving Day holiday. Leaf pick up will resume for the final, planned week on Nov. 28 – Dec. 1. 

Once crews have finished with leaf pick up for the season, please bag any leaves and call the Village office to schedule a pick up.
