Celebrating #42 Jackie Robinson's 75th Anniversary


As part of the United States Conference of Mayors initiative to celebrate Jackie Robinson's 75th anniversary, Mayor Craig joined other Mayors across the nation to celebrate his legacy.


Mayor Craig stated, "75 years ago, Jackie Robinson brought needed change to the game of baseball by braking the color barrier and opening up opportunities for many future players in all professional sports.
 
He played the game he loved, and his courage and character also helped advance the Civil Rights Movement in this country.
 
In the Village of Hanover Park, we take great pride in our diversity and that is why we are “Americas Global Village.”
 
On behalf of all of Hanover Park, I would like to take the opportunity to “tip my cap” to the great #42, Jackie Robinson! "

Work Zones Are a Sign to Slow Down
Another historic year of construction means extra attention required at all times


With construction season ramping up across the state, the Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois State Police, Illinois Tollway, industry partners and frontline construction workers joined forces today for National Work Zone Awareness Week. During another historic year of construction in Illinois, the public is urged to put down the devices, keep their eyes on the road at all times and remember that “Work Zones Are a Sign to Slow Down.”  


“As we head into road construction season, the Illinois State Police urges people to slow down, pay attention and be cautious when driving through construction zones,” said ISP Director Brendan F. Kelly.  “Speeding and being careless while in work zones puts your life, the lives of your passengers, and the lives of workers at risk.  Be responsible and slow down.”
