To the Burr Ridge Community,

We are all ready for spring to arrive at Burr Ridge! While March ushers in warmer temperatures, it also allows us an opportunity to celebrate Women's History Month! A time to recognize female trailblazers who have helped shape our history. In the same spirit of gratitude and celebration, I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to our Village of Burr Ridge staff, seeing as today is Employee Appreciation Day. They work tremendously hard to serve our community day in and day out! I saw it firsthand when our expert Public Works staff rapidly replaced a multi-broken water main in my neighborhood last month.

I would also like to recognize our Village staff for diligently preparing the draft Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2024. The draft budget is now available here. I invite you to review the draft budget and join us for a public discussion at the March 13th Board Meeting at 6:00 p.m. On behalf of the staff and Board of Trustees, we appreciate your participation! We remain a debt-free village, a rare status in today's Illinois.

The Secretary of State Mobile Drivers Unit returns to Village Hall on Wednesday, March 22nd, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Remember that services are limited and do not include written or driving tests, nor can you obtain a real ID at this event. You can learn more here.

I continue to celebrate all of the good things in store for the Village and am thankful for your support!

Sincerely,

Mayor Gary Grasso

More Details On Public Meetings

Community Safety Alert

Help keep Burr Ridge "A Very Special Place" by keeping our community safe. Ruse burglaries are usually committed by offenders working in pairs. One offender uses a distraction (ruse) to keep the victim’s attention diverted while the second offender enters the home to steal valuables, typically cash or jewelry. Ruse burglaries often target senior citizens and people living alone. If you have seen suspicious vehicles and subjects approaching neighbors or feel you were the victim of a ruse burglary, please call the Burr Ridge Police Department Investigations at 630-323-8181. Call 9-1-1 if the incident is in progress.

Sod Restoration

Sod restoration around the Village of Burr Ridge begins in the spring and continues through the fall. Any right-of-way damage from street repairs or snow plow damage will be repaired after proper settlement and weather permits. If you would like to report damage and a request for sod restoration, please complete a Service Request online or call the Village Hall during normal business hours.

Daylight Savings 2023

Don't forget! Daylight savings time begins at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 12th. Clocks “spring forward” an hour, so you’ll lose an hour of sleep and will have to wait until November 5th to get that hour of sleep back!

Pleasant Dale Park District Easter Festivities

The Easter season is right around the corner. Join the Pleasant Dale Park District for their Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Donuts with the Easter Bunny at Walker Park on April 1st. A fun-filled day is in store, starting at 9:00 a.m.! There will be crafts, games, a photo opportunity with the bunny, donuts, refreshments and of course, the egg hunt. Bring your baskets and keep your eye out for a golden egg for an extra special prize. Then at 2:00 p.m., adults are invited to hop on over for cocktails, snacks, games, socializing and prizes! For more details on participation, see the Pleasant Dale Park District program guide
We are so grateful for our Village Staff, the backbone of our organization. Thank you for dedicating yourselves to the service of our community!
