and his brother John
arrived on the banks
of the DuPage
with their kin,
families have
brought their
pioneer spirit to
Naperville!
Since 1831 the west branch of the DuPage River has attracted people who look toward the future and take risks in this remarkable place called Naperville!

1. Please send a 200-300 word press releas with WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY AND HOW (Use the K.I.S.S. principal...Keep It Super Simple...and try to target between the 15th and 20th of the month prior to publishing.)
2. Include name, phone and e-mail for contact verification only (not to be published)
3. Include phone or e-mail for publication in PN
4. Embed your press release in the e-mail either with or without Word Document Attachment
5. When listing a date in your press release...please list in the following order: TIME, DAY OF THE WEEK and DATE. (For instance, this style would be perfect: 11AM, Tues., April 1.)

Alternate Routes during Washington & 75th Street Construction
During construction, the city is encouraging all motorists to avoid local neighborhood streets as alternate routes. The city recommends that motorists seek alternate routes via other arterial roadways. For north/south travel, Naper Boulevard, Plainfield/ Naperville Road, West Street and Route 59 are preferred options. For east/west travel, Chicago Avenue, Aurora Avenue, Ogden Avenue, Diehl Road, 87th Street, Royce Road, Boughton Road and 111th Street are preferred alternate routes.
For motorists who live or work in the area surrounding the Washington and 75th Street intersection, the city recommends seeking alternate routes on local collector streets. Collector streets convey traffic out of the neighborhoods to the arterial streets, with a goal of reducing the traffic on other residential streets. Collector streets in the vicinity of the 75th and Washington Street intersection include Modaff Road, Gartner Road, Olesen Road and Bailey Road .
For more information on the 75th and Washington intersection improvements, or to sign-up to receive e-news alerts about this project, visit www.naperville.il.us/75andwashimprovements.aspx
