St. Charles Road Crosswalk Improvements Begin 


The Village of Lombard will begin infrastructure improvements on St. Charles Road starting the week of April 7, 2025 (weather permitting). This project includes the installation of concrete crosswalks from Elizabeth Street to Craig Place and is expected to continue through late May.

No Mow 'til Mother's Day Initiative Returns


The "No Mow 'til Mother's Day" initiative is back! This program invites residents to refrain from mowing their lawn—or a portion of it—until the first week of May to support the local ecology, pollinator habitats and area wildlife. 

Residents can participate without signing up with the Village, and signage will not be provided. Those who participated in 2023 may use the sign provided that year, although it is not required for participation.

Distracted Driving Awareness Month


April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and the Lombard Police Department is ramping up efforts to keep our roads safe. Officers are out in full force, watching for drivers who are texting or otherwise distracted behind the wheel.

“Distracted driving is a serious threat to public safety, and in 2023 it was responsible for 58 deaths in Illinois,” said Police Sergeant Tom Balsitis. “Taking your eyes off the road for even a few seconds can have devastating consequences. We urge all drivers to stay focused and make safe driving their priority.”

Contact JULIE Before You Dig 


April marks National Safe Digging Month across the United States, reminding homeowners and professional excavators in Illinois to contact JULIE, Inc. (JULIE) at 8-1-1 before every digging project this spring, regardless of the size or depth.

Before putting up a fence, installing a mailbox post, building a deck or patio, or planting trees and shrubs, call JULIE. This free service helps prevent unnecessary and often costly damage to underground cables and utility lines.
