Snow and Ice Removal Program 

 

After a very successful program last year, the snow and ice removal program is beginning again.

Residents are required to remove snow and ice from their adjacent sidewalks for the entire width of the sidewalk. The Green Team will survey the Village 12 or more hours after a measurable snow event at the request of the Director of Public Works. A notice will be left on the door of delinquent properties noting they have 12 additional hours to complete snow and ice removal. The list of delinquent addresses will be given to the Police Department. If the snow and ice is not removed in a timely manner, the Green Team will return to remove the snow. The property owner will be charged a $15 fee plus snow removal charges at a rate of $50/hour. Total charges will be added to the property owners tax bill.

It is important to note that this action is in place to assure safe walking conditions for everyone. Residents are encouraged to call the Police Department at 847.2610 to report areas that are not adequately cleared.

Check out Shorewood's New Signs!

At Monday's Board Meeting, the Board approved new monument signs for Village buildings, parks and other important landmarks.  The sign design ,selected by an Ad-Hoc sign committee in cooperation with the Design Review Board, was inspired by our entrance monuments on Capitol Drive and fit soundly within our Village branding.  This specific design was chosen because:

1. The logo, green tree and blue swoosh, reflects our Village Brand.
2. The copper coloring invokes our entrance monuments which are in-turn inspired by the cooper dome which sits on the High School administration building built in 1925.
3. The design clearly identifies the purpose of the building by focusing prominently on the name of the building.

There will be five signs installed in this initial stage : at the Police Department, Village Hall and Village Center and two way-finding sites will be installed behind Village Hall and at the parking lot entrance off of Frederick Dr.
