As our immediate area’s only 24-hour, full- service locksmith, Collier cares about people first, which may explain why he is so well-known to clients of Rogers Park Community Council’s Victim Advocacy Support Program (VASP). Every time a call is placed to Collier Lock Service for assistance, VASP clients and staff alike reap the benefits of the commitment and talents of Collier himself and his terrific service technicians. Collier Lock Service has been in existence in the Rogers Park-Edgewater area for 12 years, but Collier’s work as a locksmith in our community goes way back to the training he received starting from the tender age of 10 in his father’s business. A brief detour into the world of rock-n-roll music notwithstanding, Collier has been a lock- smith for 43 years. His staff has over 100 years of aggre- gate experience providing security services, many of those years as a group. In addition to the traditional range of services, Collier Lock Service provides on-site installa- tion and repair of closed-circuit TV, electronic access sys- tems, intercoms, safes and light welding for security gates and fences. The company provides residential, commer- cial and automotive services (as well as lockout services), and 24-hour emergency service. Collier emphasizes the trust his business is built on. The Collier Lock Service team (left to right): Thomas Evans, Bill Willingham, Ruth Coyle, Ralph Gunterman and owner John Collier. From the first call to Bill Willingham or Ruth Coyle in the shop, customers see the difference made by personal and knowledgeable service.

  • Community Involvement Plan
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 Community Involvement Plan Peoples Gas Company North Shore Avenue Station Manufactured Gas Plant Site Chicago, Cook County, Illinois August 2009 Introduction U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prepared this community involvement plan (CIP) for the Peoples Gas Company North Shore Station manufactured gas plant (MGP) site in the West Rogers Park area in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. This CIP provides background information on the site, describes activities EPA will perform to keep the public and local officials informed about progress at the site, and encourages community involvement during cleanup of the site. This CIP also discusses the concerns of nearby residents and local officials regarding the site and ways for EPA to address those concerns. The information in this CIP is based primarily on discussions with residents, business owners and elected officials that occurred July 8, 2009. Site background EPA has entered into an agreement with Peoples Gas Company to oversee the company’s investigation of 11 former MGP sites in Chicago. North Shore Avenue Station is one of the MGP sites. Peoples Gas will investigate the extent and nature of contamination at the North Shore Avenue Station site, and then evaluate potential cleanup options. This process is expected to continue through 2009. EPA, in consultation with Illinois EPA, the City of Chicago and area residents, will determine final cleanup remedies. All of the properties covered by the agreement are relatively close to the Chicago River, which was a transportation route when the MGPs operated. These facilities produced gas from coal from the mid-19th through the mid-20th centuries.
