Darien Touts Way To Save Money In Winter

DARIEN, IL – You may not be thinking about snow these days, but Darien officials apparently are.

In its weekly newsletter Thursday, the city announced that it has installed frost sensors and cameras, which provide road temperature data during the winter.

Here are the locations of the sensors:

• Clarendon Hills Road and Roger Road
• Seminole Drive and Willow Lane
• 79th Street and Farmingdale Drive
• 71st Street and Exner Road
• Lakeview Drive and Bailey Road
• Ailsworth and Stewart drives
