World Polio Day in Wheaton Proclamation

During last week's City Council meeting, members of the Rotary Club of Wheaton and the Rotary Club of Wheaton A.M. accepted a proclamation in honor of World Polio Day in Wheaton, which was Oct. 24, 2024.

Since 1985, the nonprofit service organization Rotary International has worked with global partners to immunize all children worldwide against polio and eradicate the disease. Polio cases have dropped by over 99.9 percent since 1988, and the proclamation honored the work of Rotarians of our local clubs to fight for a polio-free world. Read the proclamation by visiting the City's website.

New Traffic Pattern on Wesley Street

In conjunction with recently completed road reconstruction and utility improvements on Wesley Street, the City has revised the traffic pattern on Wesley Street west of West Street to increase safety in this area. Westbound traffic on Wesley Street (which is a one-way street) west of West Street will now see a right turn only lane for traffic turning north onto Gary Avenue. This lane is separated with a solid white line. Through traffic must use the left lane, and drivers in the right lane must turn right. Failure to obey the traffic pattern can result in traffic accidents and/or citations. Please pay attention to this new traffic pattern and drive safely.
