This Thanksgiving, Buckle Up and Designate a Sober Driver

While families may be celebrating at home this year, Thanksgiving is traditionally one of the busiest travel times of the year and the Lombard Police Department is reminding motorists to buckle up and drive sober. Motorists will see an increase in safety patrols from Nov. 20 over the holiday weekend through the early morning hours of Nov. 30.

Whether you're driving across town, or down the street, wear your seat belt and make a plan for a sober ride home.

Lombard Receives COVID-19 Reimbursement Funding

The Village of Lombard recently received nearly $2.3 million in COVID-19 relief funding from DuPage County, as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. This funding will be used for COVID-19 related expenses including the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE) for first responders, staffing directly related to the pandemic, commodities, and the cleaning of Village facilities and equipment.

Village Board to Discuss Advisory Referendum Question Regarding Video Gaming

The November 3rd General Election ballot included an advisory question asking Lombard residents whether video gaming should be allowed within the Village of Lombard. The results showed that 22,814 Lombardians voted on the issue, with 52.4% (11,957) voting to allow video gaming in Lombard, and 47.5% (10,857) voting against video gaming. At the upcoming Board of Trustees Meeting on December 3, 2020, the Village Board will review and consider the continuation of video gaming in Lombard and an ordinance to remove the December 31st sunset clause.

Holiday Light Recycling Bin at Public Works: 11/26 - 1/18

Old or unwanted holiday lights may be dropped off in a bin at Lombard Public Works, 1051 S. Hammerschmidt Avenue, to be recycled by Elgin Recycling. The collection will begin on Thanksgiving (Nov. 26th) and will run through January 18th. Lights should be placed in the bin located in front of the building, which is accessible at any hour.

Remove plastic ornamentals and bags from the wiring to prevent entangling in the processing machinery.
