Use Pace Service to Bypass Construction
A three-year construction project along the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago has begun and that means added congestion for the region’s commuters. Pace Bus offers suburban commuters several options to bypass that traffic and use public transportation to get to/from Chicago. Plus, using public transportation saves you money compared to the costs of fuel, parking, and tolls.

Practice Good Pet Owner Etiquette and Clean Up After Them
Please keep your pets on a leash and always clean up after them, including on your own property. Dog waste is full of more disease-causing bacteria and parasites than most types of waste, can be harmful to humans, spread disease to other dogs and is a food source for rodents. Always carry extra waste bags with you wherever you go with your pet. Your neighbors thank you for your consideration and for keeping our community clean.
