Arborists performing vegetation management for ComEd will be working in your neighborhood within the next 3 months. Trees and branches that interfere with power lines can create safety hazards and cause power outages. Preventative tree maintenance helps avoid power outages. Within the next 3 months we will trim trees, branches and vines that interfere or have the potential to interfere with power lines. In some cases, tree removal may be required. The remaining tree stumps are treated with an approved herbicide to prevent future regrowth. Herbicide will be applied by state licensed applicators. All work is performed by trained, qualified arborists. This is a courtesy notification. No response is necessary. For More Information Visit ComEd.com/Trees or call us at 800-EDISON-1 (800-334-7661). Para Más Informacíon Visite es.ComEd.com/Arboles o llámenos al 800-95-LUCES (800-955-8237).

Whose Right of Way is it Anyway?A road's right of way is something often taken for granted, but is more important than one might think. A typical person may recognize a right of way as the driving lanes, shoulders, ditches, and slight corners at intersections. In fact, a right of way is defined by the Illinois Department of Transportation as "the land, or interest therein, acquired for or devoted to a highway," and the Illinois Highway Code's definition of "highway" is even broader, including land bordering the road surface (e.g., ditches, drainage structures, etc.).In all likelihood, a township doesn't own the land on both sides of the highway, but rather has an easement or a right to use the land for highway purposes. That easement is a public right of way. Often times the Road Commissioner has the responsibility to maintain, regulate and control the activities on a public right of way to provide efficient operation of the county road system. This includes the power to cut down or plant trees, expand portions of the road, and add gravel or pave the road without having to ask a specific resident's permission. The Road District may also permit others, such as utility providers, to use the right of way or easement itself for sewer or water lines.
