📰 News we're reading

• Lisle Park District To Discuss Prohibiting E-Scooters, E-Bikes In Parks (patch.com) — Lisle residents may soon see electric scooters and e-bikes banned from park district property as officials consider tightening their conduct ordinance. The proposal follows similar moves in Wheaton and Naperville, where park districts have already restricted or prohibited these devices, and would replace current Lisle rules that only regulate speed and usage.
   

• Trooper (thevisualist.org) — Benedictine University's Komechak Gallery in Lisle is hosting TROOPER, a free solo exhibition of new paintings by William Blake that explore the history and symbolism of a historic U.S. military saddle. Located in Kindlon Hall, the gallery is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., giving Lisle residents an easy, no-cost cultural outing close to home.
   

• Morton Arboretum's 'Green City Rising' Concept Named Co-Winner Of Design Competition (patch.com) — Lisle residents can take pride that the Morton Arboretum's "Green City Rising: People and Trees Thriving Together" concept was just named a co-winner in a major Chicago 2050 design competition. The vision imagines the region as a network of lush green spaces and a thriving tree canopy, highlighting how Lisle's own arboretum is helping shape Chicago's long-term environmental future.
