Watch for Scams

If you receive something in the mail requesting the need to
have a worker conduct a test or an inspection in your home, 
please
review the information carefully to verify if it is really from
the Village
. If you are unsure, please contact the Village at
(847) 671-4800 or call the Police Department at (847) 678-2444.

As a reminder, residents should always ask for identification
from anyone requesting access to their home. If you are
approached by an individual claiming to be a Village of
Franklin Park employee or a worker from a local utility,
make sure they have proper identification. You can also
check to see that they are driving a clearly marked Village
of Franklin Park or utility company vehicle. 
If something
seems suspicious or it just doesn’t “feel” right to you, please
call the Franklin Park Police Department at 847-678-2444

Working together to Keep Our Community Clean


The Village has retained Orkin to set more than 800 bait boxes throughout town. Orkin will be checking the boxes twice a week.  The problem cannot be solved with bait boxes only – We need everyone’s help to eliminate food sources and hiding places on and around your property. Please clean your yard and remove debris, inoperable vehicles and machinery from your yard.

The Village is issuing tickets for any garbage overflowing out of containers and on the ground. Make sure your lids are closed tight and clean up spills. You can rent an additional trash bin for $3.83 per month. Call (847) 671-8258.

Mow your lawn regularly and eliminate weeds in alleys and around your home. The Village is issuing tickets to homeowners if their grass is over six inches high.

Clean up after your pet on walks and in your backyard immediately. Dog waste is a food supply for rodents. Do not leave pet food or water bowls outside. Pick fruits and vegetables in your garden right away.

If you need assistance complying, call (847) 671-4800. If you see properties that need to be maintained, please call the Village.

If you feel you have a problem near your property, ask Orkin service workers when they are in your area to assess the situation in your yard. Please DO NOT tamper with Orkin’s bait boxes or move them into your backyard. DO NOT throw the bait boxes in the trash.

Reserve Your Garden Box in the Community Garden

Now is the time to reserve your raised bed garden box in the Community Garden, located west of Village Hall. Garden beds are available to residents free of charge, on a first come, first served basis. The gardener is responsible for weeding and maintaining their boxes. Sprinklers will be set up in late Spring, and until then each gardener is responsible for watering their own box. There is a limit of one garden box per household. If you would like to reserve or if you have questions, please email asmolen@vofp.com

Climate Resiliency Plan


The Village is working with Cook County to create a climate resiliency plan and is working to engage residents to understand climate hazards, set goals, and identify and prioritize actions. The effort seeks to improve Franklin Park’s resiliency to the effects of climate change, including severe weather events such as heavy rain, flooding and extreme heat. Franklin Park will also receive funding to support actions to manage stormwater through green infrastructure, plant and maintain trees, and promote residents’ health and well-being. Email questions or sign up for updates by contacting environment@cookcountyil.gov

Mayor’s Column – June 2025


Village Adopts Plan for Grand Avenue

The Village has adopted the Grand Avenue Corridor Plan which will serve as a framework to make decisions regarding land use, transportation, economic development, and other infrastructure improvements along Grand Avenue.

Input from the community was a critical part of the planning process. Thank you to the residents, senior citizens, transit riders, property owners, and members of the business community who took the time to attend planning meetings and make their voices heard about what is important to them as we move forward.

The plan will focus on:

  • Making improvements to Grand Avenue will provide a safer and more accessible street for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. It will also create a more walkable and enjoyable experience for all.
  • Promoting access to public transit along the Grand Avenue corridor by making it more convenient and easier to reach bus stops.
  • Identifying economic development opportunities to support small businesses and to utilize vacant properties for outdoor dining, art installations, community events, and temporary uses, such as pop-up stores, and pop-up parks, and more.
  • Including landscaping that expands the tree canopy and adds greenery to prevent flooding. This will make Grand Avenue more inviting.

We will continue to keep you updated as we make progress on Grand Avenue. You can read the entire Grand Avenue corridor Plan here: COMMUNITY DEVOLPMENT PAGE
