- Lincoln Square Alderperson ‘Beyond Frustrated’ As Welles Park Grub Infestation Continues
Lincoln Square Alderperson Matt Martin expresses frustration over an ongoing beetle grub infestation at Welles Park despite Park District treatments. The Park District, under a $6 million contract with Christy Webber Landscapes, applied pesticide Acelepryn in spring 2026, but adult beetles emerged in July, prompting a revised treatment plan for late summer and fall. Martin criticized the Park District's effectiveness in addressing the issue.
