Welcome to the
Bloomingdale Township Highway Department Website
The Highway Department is responsible for approximately 65+ miles
of roads and right-of-ways in the unincorporated areas
in Bloomingdale Township. Jim and his staff remove snow and ice
from the roads, cut grass along the right-of-ways in
front of vacant property, maintain
the drainage ditches, and maintain the road surface. The Highway
department, also, maintains and installs traffic control and
street signs, and help protect the wetlands.
Jim
has instituted the first brush pick up program for the residents
of the unincorporated area of the Township.
The
Highway Department issues permits for
all construction projects in the unincorporated areas of the

to do the pickup of recycled electronics,
will no longer fund this program as

** SPECIAL NOTICE ** |
Dear
Resident:
Due
to the increased incidents of vehicles parked on the street
after a snowfall accumulation of 1 inch or more, we find
that we must adopt an ordinance to prohibit parking during
those conditions.
We
had tried to avoid having to institute the parking restrictions,
but we find that after a snowfall accumulation of 1 inch
or more; vehicles parked on the street causes a safety hazard
that prevents emergency vehicles such as police, fire trucks
and ambulances in addition to our trucks from entering the
street to plow the snow.
Thank
you for your cooperation. |
