The GFWC Northwest Suburban Woman's Club is a group of diverse women who share a dedication to community service. The club adopted a segment of bike path through the village's Adopt a Bike Path Program in April 2019 and performs regular clean-up of their designated bike path two to three times a year. On April 12, club president Joann Johansen presented a donation to the village's Transportation Department to be used toward the purchase of additional vests and grabbers for the Adopt a Bike Path Program. The Village of Schaumburg thanks these wonderful women for their generosity and continued dedication to keeping our bike paths looking beautiful.

In recognition of Earth Day 2022, scouts from Schaumburg Troop 392 performed a litter cleanup project at the Schweikher House property, 645 S. Meacham Rd., on April 16. Trash was collected along the Meacham Road parkway and banks of Salt Creek as well as throughout the meadow surrounding the house. Scouts collected numerous bags of litter. Their efforts helped beautify the grounds of this building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Schweikher House Preservation Trust and the Village of Schaumburg appreciate the volunteer service of Troop 392 and their commitment to Earth Day.

Crews will continue excavating and installing the stone base for the new roadway as well as installing the roadway lighting system. Motorists should expect to see crews installing new water main on the east side of Meacham Road early next week. All work is weather dependent. There will be trucks and equipment moving in and out of the closed lanes. No major lane closures are expected but daily single lane closures between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. may still occur to provide safer access and loading for trucks.

Crews have begun work on a water main connection at the intersection of Denham Lane and Walnut Lane. Access onto Denham at this intersection will be limited during this work. Motorists who need access to Denham can do so from Cheltenham Lane. There may be a slight traffic shift to complete this work, however two-way traffic on Walnut will remain throughout the duration of this work. Please watch for flaggers and workers during this connection. Once this connection is made, crews will begin placing water main on Denham. Street access may be limited for short periods of time while pipe installation and backfilling occurs, however the road will remain open during this portion of the work. Please exercise caution when navigating these work areas.

Work continues this week on removing, forming and pouring new sidewalks on the south side of Weathersfield Way from Braintree to Salem. Next week crews will begin removing sidewalk and excavating for the new wider sidewalk on the north side of Weathersfield. All work is weather dependent.
