ComEd Tree Trimming Scheduled for Lombard 

ComEd will begin tree trimming in the Lombard area within the next few months. Affected residents have received or will be receiving postcards from ComEd to notify them prior to any scheduled preventative tree maintenance activities. This work is necessary to remove tree branches and vines that interfere with power lines which can create safety hazards and cause power outages. 

For more details, refer to this letter, map, and postcard notification from ComEd.  

Upcoming Construction Projects 

Downtown Sidewalk Improvement Project

Beginning the week of April 17, the Village of Lombard, in partnership with Thomas Engineering, will begin work on the Downtown Sidewalk Improvements Project along St. Charles Road between Craig Place and Elizabeth Street.

• Phase 2 (June 16 - August 27):  St. Charles Rd. from Main St. to Craig Place
