Important Snow Removal Tips and Reminders

Road Jurisdiction
Did you know that the Village does not provide snow plowing for all streets in Glen Ellyn?

The DuPage County Department of Transportation maintains Geneva Road, St. Charles Road, Park Boulevard south of Raintree Drive/Buena Vista Drive.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) maintains Roosevelt Road (Route 38), Route 53, and Butterfield Road (Route 56).

Additionally, there are approximately 30 private roadways in Glen Ellyn that are not plowed by the Village, nor are Glen Ellyn addresses that are unincorporated, as those are maintained by Milton Township.

For any questions for streets maintained by DuPage County, please call 630-407-6900 and for questions regarding streets maintained by IDOT, please call 847-705-4000.
Adopt a Fire Hydrant Near Your Home
An important safety precaution after heavy snowfall is to clear the snow between the streets and fire hydrant. When you "adopt a fire hydrant" near your home, you ensure it is accessible to the Fire Company in times of emergency.
