Grass and Weed Code Reminder

  Now that spring is here nature is coming back to life, but with the lovely flowers and blossoms come weeds indigenous to this area.  West Peoria residents are asked to be on the lookout in their yards for nuisance weeds such as poison ivy, mock strawberry, thistles, dandelions, pennycress, creeping Charlie, common cockleburs, and pokeweed.  For a detailed description and pictures of weeds and wildflowers in Illinois, please visit www.illinoiswildflowers.info/index.htm and click on “Weedy Wildflowers.”    Please remember that grass and weeds in excess of 9 inches tall will be in violation of our city code.
