Recreational Cannabis Update

At the Village Board Meeting on September 19, Lombard Trustees considered recommendations from the Plan Commission, regarding the topic of recreational cannabis dispensaries within the Village. The Board agreed with the Plan Commission’s recommendations to include the dispensaries as a permitted use in Districts I (Limited Industrial), B4A (Roosevelt Road), and O (Office), and as a conditional use (requires Plan Commission review and Village Board approval for individual locations) in Districts B1, B2, B3, B4 (neighbor and community retail). The Board proposes that the use be listed as a conditional use in the B5 and B5A (downtown and downtown perimeter) zoning districts. See chart below.

Several residents provided their opinions and feedback about the topic during public comment and the video of the meeting is available at www.villageoflombard.org/recreationalcannabis. This was the Village’s first reading of the proposed regulations. The topic will be considered for second and final reading at the next Village Board of Trustees Meeting on Thursday, October 3 at 7 p.m., at Village Hall. All Village meetings are open to the public and provide an opportunity for public comment. If you would like to provide feedback on this topic, and cannot attend the Board of Trustees Meeting, please email recreationalcannabis@villageoflombard.org.

Soil Boring at 101 S. Main on Oct. 4

On Friday, October 4, soil boring tests will be conducted at the 101 S. Main Street parking lot/property. This work is being done as part of the approved Lilac Station redevelopment. While a couple of parking spots will be unavailable that day (please see map for potential boring locations), commuter parking in the lot will remain largely unaffected. For more information on the project, please visit villageoflombard.org/101southmain.

Railroad Safety Week Results

During Railroad Safety Week, September 22-28, Lombard Police Officers participated in "Operation Clear Tracks." During this enforcement, officers conducted 25 hours of enforcement/education, passed out 400 railroad safety pamphlets, gave 7 warnings, and issued 3 citations.

It's important to always pay attention when navigating a railroad crossing and to never try to beat the train!
