Pedestrian beacon lights to be put up in Flossmoor for community safety 

The Flossmoor Police Department is a recipient of the 2025 Powering Safe Communities Grant Program through ComEd and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus. 

The grant will finance five additional intersections flashing pedestrian beacons in the village. 

The program is in its 11th year, and $165,000 was awarded throughout 23 local municipalities. 

The ComEd program focuses on various community projects, including the expansion of public AED accessibility, pedestrian and driver safety and increasing electric vehicle charging infrastructure. 

Police Chief Carl Estelle said the five intersections the beacons will be placed at are:

  • Vardon Lane and Western Avenue.
  • Flossmoor Road and Brassie Avenue.
  • Flossmoor Road and Berry Lane.
  • School Street and Douglass Avenue. 

The installation date has yet to be set.
