Competitive cycling may be heading back to Downers Grove for the first time since the USPro Criterium Championship moved out of the village in 2009. The Prairie State Cycling Series is a race competition that takes place over the course of nine days between July 18 and 27. During the May 20 Village Council meeting, a representative from Prairie State Cycling addressed commissioners with the hope of making Downers Grove the culminating race in the summer cycling series. “I know that this bike race is going to be instantly popular with the bike racers who reside in the Chicago metropolitan area, as well as nationally,” said Prairie State Cycling spokesman Marco Colbert.

The Westmont Police Department will join police officers throughout Illinois in the 12th annual Cop on a Rooftop fundraiser. From 6 a.m. to noon Friday, hundreds of police officers around the state will join forces with more than 150 neighborhood Dunkin’ Donuts locations to raise money for Special Olympics Illinois. Westmont police will cover the rooftop of Dunkin’ Donuts, 19 W. 63rd St., to heighten awareness and raise money for the Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics Illinois. Downers Grove, Lisle and Woodridge police also will participate in the Cop on a Rooftop fundraiser. Downers Grove
