Welcome to 3rdWard.org, a website dedicated to communication and transparency between Des Plaines City Government and you. The Ward R3PORT is a resource written and frequently updated by Alderman Matt Bogusz. Check back for synopses of City Council Meetings, discussions on city issues, and official notices from City Hall.
I've received more calls/emails about street light outages in the last week that in my first 2.5 years as Alderman. If you have a light out near you please email me (matt@3rdward.org) and I'll coordinate with staff to get ComEd out to the location quickly.
ComEd reports that, due to the brief storms that passed through the region last night, approximately 20,000 customers are without power in the region. In the City of Des Plaines, there are scattered outages with 332 customers without power. Crews have been assigned to Des Plaines to handle those outages and most of the restoration should occur before midnight tonight.
