E-rides like e-bikes and e-scooters make it easy to get around Oak Park. Unfortunately, dangerous injuries occur more from e-rides for both the riders and pedestrians. A recent study of e-bike and e-scooter injuries in Illinois from 2021-2023 showed that, compared to regular cycling, users of electric devices were significantly more likely to be admitted to hospital, to be admitted to the intensive care unit and to suffer a traumatic brain injury. If you’re using an e-ride, make sure you know how to keep yourself and others safe! Visit Oak Park’s e-ride safety page at www.oak-park.us/ebikesafety for helpful information from the Oak Park Public Health Department to get started.

This morning at Station One we held a ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. We honored those first responders who were lost, those who served and those who continue to serve. Thank you to our Village colleagues, our elected officials and community members who joined us for this solemn remembrance.
