City of Evanston Storm Updates

Update as of 12:30 p.m. on July 30

City Services

Public Works (PWA)

  • After receiving about 600 service requests, the City's Forestry Division, supplemented by staff from other divisions, continues working to clear downed trees and branches. Crews will continue working throughout the week and well into the weekend. 

311

  • For hazardous Forestry issues, please contact 311 via phone, chat, text, or email. Forestry is working to remove any hazardous trees. It is not necessary to contact Forestry for tree branches on the parkway, as they will be going street to street removing them. Due to the volume, it will take 7-10 days to remove all branches.
Parks & Recreation Closures

  • Levy Senior Center has reopened to the public.
  • The power at the Dempster Street Beach Office has been restored.
  • Lee Street and Dempster Street bathrooms and other lakefront bathrooms have reopened. 
  • Aquatics Camp has resumed.
  • Beaches are open to swimming. 
  • Fleetwood-Jourdain Center has reopened to the public. 
  • Café au Lake is open.
  • Greenways staff are evaluating parks for damage and mitigating damage where possible.

Additional Information
