Naperville beekeeping news | Metra sued | Traditional swim competition

Naperville's beekeeping ordinance, in place for a decade, is under review as the city council discussed proposed amendments during a recent meeting.

The family of Henrrich Alvarez-De La Sancha, a snowplow operator killed by a Metra train at the Naperville station last year, is suing the railway. The 46-year-old was clearing snow when he was struck, and the lawsuit claims Metra neglected to ensure a safe work environment and breached several Federal Railroad Administration safety regulations.

In recognition of Illinois Speed Awareness Day, the Naperville Police Department is increasing patrols and enforcing speed limits alongside other departments statewide.
