Message from the Mayor

I am happy to report that the City has installed the first of it's 100% solar street lights.  The solar powered street light will be 100% efficient and not cost the city anything to run.  The lighting will continue around the walking path of Grand Boulevard Lake.  If you happen to drive by or walk Grand Boulevard Lake, it's located by the picnic peninsula island.

We have been lucky during these winter months and have not had a significant amount of snow accumulation.  If we happen to receive severe weather in the future, the City of Lake Station Public Works is urging all residents to please keep your cars off the side of the road until the storm and cleanup is over.  We are asking for your cooperation so that City snow plows can keep the roads clean and, more importantly, not bury your vehicles in snow during this snow season.  I am aware that this  might pose a problem for some of you, but, please do your best, it is very important to keep the roads cleared.

The City of Lake Station has a 24 hour mail box and utility drop box.  The boxes are located in the City Hall parking lot for your convenience.
