Memorial Day travel + safety: Rockford police are stepping up seat-belt enforcement May 15–26 as part of Illinois’ “Click It or Ticket” push, targeting nighttime and daytime violations on major corridors like I-90 and I-39. Housing pressure: A county is putting a moratorium on new short-term rentals while it studies how to regulate the fast-growing market. Travel costs bite: Chicago drivers are feeling higher gas prices, and more people are rethinking summer trips as flights and fuel stay expensive. Illinois on the map: The Illinois Fallen Wall memorial is headed to Kendall County in Yorkville, running May 18–20. Family-friendly plans: Toy Story is coming to Harbert Community Park for an outdoor screening July 16 (rain date July 17). Big-picture travel: Air India is cutting international routes amid the Iran conflict and fuel costs, reshuffling options for travelers heading to Europe and North America.
