Public Hearing: Helen Plum Library 

The Lombard Plan Commission held a public hearing on Dec. 21, regarding the redevelopment of the former Mr. Z’s property at 401 S. Main Street.  The Plan Commission recommended approval of the proposed development.  The Village Board is scheduled to consider the petition at their scheduled January 7, 2021 meeting. 

101 S. Main Street: Lilac Station Update

The Village continues to work with developers regarding the new Lilac Station development at 101 S. Main Street. The Lilac Station LLC submitted for building permits this week and construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2021. 

Snow and Winter Reminders from Code Enforcement

To help ensure safety on sidewalk segments that are commonly utilized by pedestrians, the Village reminds businesses and property owners of sidewalk snow clearing requirements.

When snowfall occurs, Village Code requires a path clearance minimum of 5 feet wide. The Code also requires that property owners are responsible to clear abutting sidewalks, as well as the sidewalk areas that lead up to intersections on corners.

Village Code requires public sidewalk clearing for all commercial properties in Lombard, regardless of location. Additionally, Code provisions require the clearing of all public sidewalks along the following street segments, regardless of the zoning designation:

• St. Charles Road from Elizabeth Street to Martha Street;
• Main Street from Grove Avenue to Washington Boulevard;
• Park Avenue from Orchard Terrace to McGuire Drive; and
• Westmore-Meyers Road from Division Street to North Broadway.

Clearing of sidewalks will be required within 24 hours of the end of each snow event. Failure to do so may result in follow up action from the Village’s Code Enforcement staff.

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Holiday Campaign

This holiday season, the Village is continuing to encourage residents to shop local whenever possible.
