Western Springs Village Board members have given up on the idea of rain gardens in the Ridgewood subdivision. (Google Maps)
WESTERN SPRINGS, IL The red signs on yards through Western Springs Ridgewood subdivision had a simple message: No Rain Gardens in Ridgewood.
The residents protests led Village Board members this week to back away from their plan to install rain gardens as a way to reduce flooding.
Residents thought the rain gardens which are ditches where plants absorb rainwater would make the neighborhood less attractive and wouldn t solve the problem in any case.
