 SENIOR SERVICES A LETTER FROM THE MAYOR Dear Seniors, RESIDENTS OF Berwyn take enormous pride in being part of a close-knit community. Neighbors help neighbors, families stick together and everbody cares for their elders. As mayor, I will hold my administration to that same standard. When the people of Berwyn went to the polls, in 2009, they sent a clear message: When times get tough, we need more city services, not less. We need to work harder to keep our streets safe and our roads plowed. And now more than ever, we must ensure that our seniors receive the care and attentions they deserve. I look forward to serving you, during my administration. Sincerely,  Mayor of Berwyn GRASS CUTTING, LEAF AND SNOW REMOVAL Through Berwyn’s Senior Outreach Program, we can assist you with grass cutting, leaf and snow removal. These programs have been created to help our elderly or disabled citizens for whom some tasks have become too challenging. These programs are limited to single family homes on a standard of 30’ x 125’ The grass cutting/leaf removal program begins approximately May 1st and concludes approximately November 30th. Both front and back lawns are cut every two (2) weeks when necessary. During the autumn, grass cutting will continue to remove leaves from the lawns. There is a $5 charge per service call. Snow removal begins November 1st and concludes April 1st when the snow fall is 3” or more in Berwyn. Snow is removed from the front walk and steps and will begin after the end of the snowfall. You qualify, if you are a homeowner 65 years of age or disabled, with no able-bodied person under age 65 in residence and meet the annual income guidelines. This program is limited to single family homes only. Any property in excess of the standard lot of 30’ x 125’ will have to pay the proportional difference in cost. Homeowners must complete an application and be approved before becoming a part of the program. Additionally, the grass cutting/leaf removal and snow removal service is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. For further information or an application, contact the Senior Outreach Program Administrative Assistant at (708) 484-2510.
