EDWARDSVILLE – A short segment of East Franklin Avenue between West Lake Drive and Gerber Road will be closed for roadwork from Thursday, October 10, 2024, through the end of the day Friday, October 11, 2024. Anyone who lives within the impacted area will have access to their homes, but that section of road will be closed to through traffic. The City’s Public Works Department is in communication about the closure with school transportation officials. The work was scheduled for a two-day period when school is in session for only one of those days in an effort to minimize disruptions to bus transportation. The Edwardsville School District will not be in session on Friday, October 11. The closure will allow Public Works crews to perform needed patching in that area of East Franklin Avenue. While the closure is in place, the roadwork may be extended a bit farther east on East Franklin toward Circle Drive, as time allows. The work is anticipated to get underway early Thursday.

ROXANA - Village officials are actively addressing a mosquito problem at Roxana Park, which has become a concern for visitors and residents. The park has been treated with pesticide every two weeks from April through October of this year, but recent heavy rains have created conditions that allow mosquitoes to breed. In a statement regarding the situation, local officials acknowledged the ongoing issue, saying, "We are very aware of the mosquito issue in the park." They emphasized their commitment to managing the problem by eliminating standing water on the property and maintaining regular spraying schedules. However, they noted that recent rains have complicated their efforts. "Unfortunately, the last significant rains created a breeding ground for mosquitos and they emerge after the incubation period," officials stated. The park's exterminator, who is bound by time-limit regulations for pesticide applications, encountered an equipment failure during a scheduled visit. "He was

ALTON - The American Red Cross continues to work to restock critically needed blood products uncollected due to the ongoing impact of Hurricane Helene’s devastation in the Southeast. Donors outside of affected areas are encouraged to make an appointment to give now and help keep the blood supply stable in the weeks to come. Since making landfall, the storm and its aftermath have led to the cancellation of more than 100 blood drives, causing thousands of blood and platelet donations to go uncollected. For so many people living with urgent medical care needs, blood transfusions are essential, and donations in the Southeast are key to keeping our nationwide network stocked. The Red Cross operates through a national inventory with the ability to move blood wherever and whenever it is needed most. As a thank-you, all who come to give Oct. 1-31 will receive a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card by email, plus be automatically entered for a chance to win one of three $5,000 gift cards. For full
