I just got done reading about all the attempted burglaries, thefts, broken car windows, etc. and now to top it all off here is a long list of drug arrests. It makes me angry. Get these scumbags out of our town. Elmhurst used to be a place I was proud to call home, and I was excited to raise my children here. Now I have to worry about getting robbed or my car windows shattered. Disgusting.

I agree with you but I don't know if we as just citizen's can do anything to stop that practice. IRead More wish that each cyclist had to have a license, and that it was enforced by laws and police, on the bike so that people could report occurrences and have the person receive a ticket just like a person driving an auto. That would make sense.

A couple of years ago, Villa Park installed "State Law- must stop for pedestrians" signsRead More on the roadways where the Great Western and Prairie Paths cross. I saw a big increase in path users barreling across the streets with no regard for the stop signs on the path.

I was really hoping that the Elmhurst Police would sound in on this info-I do understand kids willRead More be kids, but if one of them is hurt, that adult driver will need to live with that for the rest of their life-so let's come up with a solution for both bicyclist and cars to be in harmony. I really think that a step up in enforcement in the bicycle laws would help-just like the drunk driving laws-believe me the bicycle laws are just as important.

It would be nice if Elmhurst had a stadium with minor league teams and also as a venue for concertsRead More of this quality. Any Alderman want to weigh in on this?
