Please be aware of the following temporary Des Plaines River Trail closure. This is the result of the LCDOT Deerfield Road Trail project. If you have any questions, please contact me.
 Section of Des Plaines River Trail
temporarily closed
A short 1-mile stretch of the 31-mile Des Plaines River (DPR) trail will be temporarily closed from Lake Cook Road to Estonian Lane in Lincolnshire for 4 consecutive weeks starting August 23 for construction of the new Deerfield Road Bike Path bridge.
Each week during construction, the trail will be closed Monday through Friday and open on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. Weather permitting, the trail is expected to reopen for weekday use starting Friday, September 17. Additional bridge work in October and November may require another temporary closure of the trail.

Need Help Understanding Your Property Assessment?
Mark Your Calendar and Attend a Tax Assessment Help Center
Lake County residents will be receiving their blue assessment notices over the next few months. To help residents understand their assessments, the Chief County Assessment Office is holding a series of Tax Assessment Help Centers.
At the Tax Assessment Help Centers, Chief County Assessment Office staff will work with taxpayers to assist them in understanding the assessment valuation process, their new property tax assessment, and their options inassessment valuation appeals at 14 Help Centers in Grayslake, Vernon Hills and Waukegan during the months of August through October.
"When property assessment notices are distributed, many residents do not understand what the assessment notice means or how they should evaluate their property tax valuation. We want to answer questions and provide property owners an opportunity to learn about how their property assessment valuation is determined, their role in the tax process and how to evaluate the appropriateness of a property's assessed value," explained Chief County Assessment Officer Marty Paulson.

Mosquito Pools Test Positive for West Nile Virus in Lake County
Mosquito Pools Test Positive for West Nile Virus in Lake County
Five mosquito pools in southeast Lake County have tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV) . The samples are the first confirmed indicators of the disease's presence in Lake County in 2010. WNV is a potentially dangerous infection transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. No human cases have been reported in Illinois in 2010. It's important to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites including using insect repellent containing DEET. The Health Department maintains a West Nile virus hotline for county residents to report areas of stagnant water (which are conducive for mosquito breeding), or to obtain more information on the signs and symptoms of West Nile encephalitis. The hotline number is: (847) 377-8300.
