Public Works Trimming Parkway Trees In Romeoville

ROMEOVILLE, IL — Romeoville residents may see the Public Works Department out trimming parkway trees over the next several weeks, according to the Village Facebook page. The department will trim in several neighborhoods, but is starting in Wesglen.

The service is performed annually, according to the Village. Raising the canopy of the trees allows clearance for snowplows, sweepers, fire trucks and garbage trucks to get to the curb line for service.

It also gives clearance to pedestrians walking or bike riding on the sidewalks, the Village said on its Facebook. The Village asked residents to help with the process by not parking in the street, if possible.

The Village has also adjusted its business hours at Village Hall. New hours will now be from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday through Friday. The adjustment is to give residents and businesses more opportunities to address their business in the morning, according to the Village Facebook.
