City Offices Closed on Monday, Feb. 17

Non-emergency City offices will be closed on Monday, Feb. 17 in observance of Presidents Day.

City Crews Responding to Winter Weather

The National Weather Service has placed the Wheaton area under a Winter Weather Advisory. City of Wheaton Public Works crews have been pretreating streets with liquid salt brine to prevent icing and will continue to respond accordingly to clear streets as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Our crews can clear streets more quickly with your help:

Move parked cars from the street when there is 2 inches or more of snow. In the downtown, parking is not allowed between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. after 2 inches of snow to allow crews to clear roads and parking stalls.
Please do not park on the street until the road has been fully cleared and snow has been plowed to the curb.
Give the snow plows room. Do not follow closely.
Do not blow, plow or, shovel snow into the street as this hinders the efforts of City crews and creates a safety hazard for other drivers.

Please allow extra time for travel and use extra caution when driving. We appreciate your cooperation. For more information, visit the City's website.

Parkway Tree Pruning Program Continues

Starting next week, crews will begin the next phase of the City’s parkway tree pruning program in the area bordered by:

Parkway Drive to the north,
North President Street to the east,
East Harrison Avenue to the south, and

From now through late spring, City and contracted crews are trimming City-owned and -maintained trees in the parkway, which is the area generally between the sidewalk (if one is present) and the street.
