Snow Plow Schedule

The Public Works Department is responsible for snow and ice control on streets within the village's corporate limits. The exceptions to this are North Ave, Roosevelt Rd, and Route 83 (maintained by the Illinois Department of Transportation), and Villa Ave north of North Ave (maintained by DuPage County). Snow plowing operations start with main arterial streets upon the accumulation of the first two inches of snow. View the map and list depicting the arterial "snow route" streets below and on our website. All streets within two blocks of a main arterial street will then be plowed and salted.

Please note: All cars must be removed from the street when there is two inches of snowfall or more, lack of removal can lower the quality of snow removal.
