Straub Weekly Address: Flooding, Marketing Subcommittee, 9/11

Burr Ridge Mayor Mickey Straub's weekly address can be viewed above.

This week, Mayor Straub said that his "biggest ah-hah moment" came during office hours, when a resident showed him photographs of April's flooding in the southwest of the village.

"Some of those backyards look like a lake," Straub says in the address. "It's no wonder why the residents want to ensure that any new construction won't affect the water issues... This is certainly something that I hope the village can help to remedy or minimize regardless of any new development.

The mayor also discusses:

• An interior security fence at Villa Taj
• A proposed new marketing subcommittee
• A new magazine for DuPage County
• His trip to Ground Zero and the 9/11 memorial.
• The potential of a Stanley Cup return to Burr Ridge.
