Metra sued over beekeeping issues in Naperville

Naperville's beekeeping regulations are under consideration for updates after a decade. The city council recently held an initial discussion on proposed amendments to the existing ordinance.

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 lawsuit claims Metra neglected to ensure a safe work environment and breached several Federal Railroad Administration safety rules, including inadequate worker protection and training.

In recognition of Illinois Speed Awareness Day, the Naperville Police Department is increasing patrols and enforcing speed limits today, joining other departments statewide in this initiative.
