Village Code Ensures Pedestrian Access After Snowfall

To help ensure safety on sidewalks commonly used by pedestrians, the Village reminds businesses and property owners of sidewalk snow and ice-clearing requirements.

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, irrespective 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.

For more information, refer to the Village's Snow Removal Regulations page.

DuPage County Sign Recycling Event

DuPage County will hold a sign recycling event for corrugated plastic signs and metal stands, such as those used for many political campaigns, at the DuPage County Fairgrounds on Friday, November 18th from 3 pm - 5 pm, and Saturday, November 19th from 10 am - 12 pm at no cost.

Corrugated plastics are not recyclable curbside due to their chemical composition, so they should otherwise be disposed of as trash.

For questions, contact DuPage County at 630-407-6700 or recycle@dupageco.org.

Lane Reduction on Main St

A lane reduction will be in place on northbound Main St. from E. Washington Blvd. to E. Hickory St., beginning this week, as work on the Helen Plum Library construction project continues. Two-way traffic will be maintained through the end of the lane reduction, tentatively Dec. 3rd.

Motorists are advised to plan ahead and use extra caution while driving through the work zone.

Free Leaf Collection Available Through Dec. 16th

Lombard’s annual six-week free leaf pick-up for residents will be available through Friday, December 16th.

During this time, residential property owners may place an unlimited amount of paper bags containing only leaves curbside on their normal Waste Management collection day without stickers.
