CART STORAGE ENFORCEMENT BEGINS SEPT. 1
|
Residents have the option of storing their garbage and recycling carts/containers in three different ways: inside the garage, behind the home, or next to the home with screening. If containers will be stored next to the home with screening, the village provides several ways in which residents can screen their carts, including using a semi-open fence or lattice partition, wing-wall or landscaping. For more information, please view the brochure on the village’s website.
Now that the LRS transition period is complete, the village’s Code Enforcement Division will resume enforcing storage ordinances effective Thursday, Sept. 1. Violation warnings will be left on doors of any properties with storage ordinance violations before any citations are issued. Please dial 311 in Schaumburg to report any concerns so staff can investigate. For questions, contact Deborah Parran or dial 311 in Schaumburg.

ONCC APPROVES NEW FLY QUIET PROGRAM
|
On Aug. 17, the O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC) voted to approve a new Fly Quiet Program. The new Fly Quiet plan features six runway configurations that alternate weeks from the north airfield to the south airfield and air traffic flow from east to west to balance nighttime noise impacts, avoid consecutive impacts, and offer predictability to communities located within the O’Hare region. In addition to approving the plan with nighttime primary and secondary runway headings and long runway designations, operational, procedural, and implementation recommendations were also established.
Now that the plan has been approved by the ONCC, the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) will assemble the proposal for review by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Once the recommended Fly Quiet Program is approved by the FAA and implemented, the ONCC will work closely with the CDA, the FAA, and other stakeholders to ensure the program offers transparency and accountability.
The ONCC, an intergovernmental agency committed to reducing aircraft noise in communities near O’Hare, is composed of representatives from 43 communities in Chicago and suburban Cook and DuPage counties, as well as 19 school districts. The organization strives to reduce the impact of aircraft noise on surrounding neighborhoods of Chicago O’Hare International Airport through home and school sound insulation, and to reduce aircraft noise at its source whenever possible. For more information on the ONCC and the new Fly Quiet Program, visit the ONCC website.
