Village urges caution as snow removal continues
Winter
emergency operations continue through today. Motorists are urged to avoid
unnecessary trips while Public Works crews work to clear streets. For the most up-to-date travel information, visit lakecountypassage.com.
Approximately
1,000 ComEd customers in Buffalo Grove are without power. The Village is
working with ComEd to expedite restoration.
Village
report approximately 7 inches of accumulated snow, with drifting in some areas
that exceed that total. The Public Works Department has been on the streets
since Sunday afternoon plowing, and salting and will continue through assigned
routes until all snow has been removed from the Village-owned and maintained
roads.
Due
to the “heavy” nature of this snow event, there are many low hanging tree limbs
and broken tree branches that have made snow
plowing more difficult. Forestry staff will be mobilizing this morning to begin
cutting and clearing dangerous tree limbs as snow plow staff continue through
their routes. The primary focus of work will be completion of the snow removal,
before assigning staff to assist with the tree limb related issues.
Village
wide parking restrictions remain in place until all snow has been removed from
the roadways.
Residents
should report all immediate concerns to the Public Works Department at
847-459-2545 during normal business hours, or the Police Department’s non-emergency
number at 847-459-2560.
