With hundreds of families calling the walkable streets of Lincoln Park home, and with abundant green space in the neighborhood, it is no surprise that the community is also home to its fair share of dogs and cats.

There is an extension of the purchase and display deadline for the 2010 - 2011 annual vehicle sticker to Friday, July 30, 2010. The traditional grace period to July 15 has been extended to allow for the replacement of defective stickers that lacked sufficient adhesive.
