MAYOR’S EXECUTIVE ORDER: Aurora Mayor Addresses Dual Winter Emergency

Executive Statement Confirms Snow Team Deployment and Mandates Strict Parking Rules as I-88 Crisis Intensifies

AURORA, IL—The Mayor’s Office, led by Mayor John Laesch, has issued an executive statement confirming the city is battling a dual-front winter emergency: a life-threatening regional Ice Cage Lockdown on the I-88 corridor, and an ongoing, intense local Snow Team Deployment following the accumulation of over two inches of snow.

The statement mandates that all residents strictly follow the temporary emergency parking rules to ensure public safety and rapid snow removal.

The Executive Mandate: Stay Home and Move Your Car

The Mayor’s statement directly addresses the two critical threats, confirmed by continuous monitoring:

REGIONAL ICE CRISIS: The Mayor confirms all I-88 ramps in the Aurora area remain under effective closure due to life-threatening sheet ice. "Do not attempt to travel," the Mayor warned. "The 14∘F wind chill makes this a hypothermia threat; our emergency response is operating at max capacity."

LOCAL SNOW MANDATE (Snow Team Full Deployment): The Mayor's office confirmed the Aurora Snow Team is fully deployed. Contractors have been called in to help with the clearing and curbing of residential roads.
