Sometimes it’s those little things that slip away – do you know where your keys are?
We can’t help you with that. But we can help remind you of little things around town that may have slipped your mind and could cost you in the long run.
Here’s a roundup:
Blue Line Forest Park service temporarily suspended
The CTA announced that the Blue Line service will be temporarily suspended on the Forest Park Branch from April 26 to April 29 as a result of construction work at the Racine station and Morgan substation. Beginning 10 p.m. Friday, April 26, Blue Line trains will operate in two sections:
• Between O’Hare and UIC-Halsted
• Between Forest Park and Illinois Medical District
Normal service will resume at 4 a.m. Monday, April 29.
Free bus shuttles will be available.
Vehicle stickers set to double
Missed the April 1 deadline? It happens. The clerk’s office is still selling them. All vehicle owners must have one displayed, according to village rules. Yes, even the ‘Vette your uncle endlessly tinkers on in the garage must have one.
Pick them up at the village hall weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or order them online. First time applicant? You must register in person.
Passenger car stickers are $35. Seniors 65 and older can purchase one passenger vehicle sticker at the senior rate of $10 with ID. Call the clerk’s office at 708-366-2323 for fees for other vehicle types.
Sticker prices double May 1.
