Roselle Named Tree City USA Community for 30th Year
|
For the 30th consecutive year, Roselle has been named a Tree City USA Community by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor its commitment to community forestry. For the past three decades, Roselle has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA Community: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance.

Volunteers Needed for DuPage River Sweep May 21
|
Volunteers are needed on Saturday, May 21 from 9:00 a.m. to noon to help remove trash and debris from the DuPage River, and to restore stream banks and its tributaries.
More than 10,800 volunteers have removed nearly 3,252 tons of garbage from DuPage County streams since 1991. The sweep encompasses the east and west branches of the DuPage River and Salt Creek, as well as many tributaries. In 2015, a record was set by volunteers with over 95 miles of shoreline cleared of debris. Items such as a car bumper, about 40 golf balls, a tricycle, a no-parking sign, and a shopping cart were removed.
To register for the River Sweep, or for more information, please call The Conservation Foundation at (630) 428-4500 x22 or visit the DuPage County River Sweep website.

Runway Rotation Plan Adopted to Balance Overnight Noise Near O'Hare International Airport
|
The O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission voted on May 6 to approve a weekly nighttime runway rotation plan for O'Hare International Airport.
The Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Plan was developed by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA), in consultation with Suburban O'Hare Commission (SOC) aviation experts. The purpose of the plan is to establish a weekly runway rotation program designed to achieve a more balanced distribution of noise exposure for Chicago and suburban communities. Under the Fly Quiet plan, runways used for nighttime air travel will change from week to week over a 12-week period. A secondary configuration is included for when weather and other factors keep the primary pattern from being feasible. More information about the Fly Quiet Plan is available on the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission website.
