Better Pedestrian Access After Snowfall

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.

Scott's Law: Move Over for Emergency Vehicles 

Scott's Law was named in honor of Scott Gillen of the Chicago Fire Department who was struck and killed by a drunk driver while assisting at a crash on a Chicago Expressway. Unfortunately, these types of accidents continue to occur. In the past week, three State Trooper vehicles were struck while they were parked, performing job duties. In 2019, twenty six State Troopers and fire vehicles were struck.

Scott's Law states that when approaching a stationary emergency vehicle that is displaying flashing warning lights, Illinois motorists must slow down, drive with caution, and either move over to another lane or reduce speed if changing lanes is unsafe.
