We have been alerted to a planned protest in our downtown area.

As a precautionary safety measure, downtown City Centre businesses have been asked to close at 3 p.m. today.

Out of an abundance of caution, we will be closing all parking locations and restricting access to York Street from Palmer Drive to North Avenue.

We remain on high alert with an increased police presence. Law enforcement continues to work diligently to maintain order and provide safety to our community. We are coordinating efforts with state and county officials. 

We will continue to provide updates as they become available on the City of Elmhurst Facebook page as well as the City’s website. Residents can sign up for community alerts by visiting Elmhurst.org. Community members witnessing any suspicious or unusual activity should call 9-1-1.
