Call for hearing(s) on installation of speed cameras at various locations in Chicago during 2025
The City's plan to install speed cameras, determined by CDOT's safety assessments and crash data, raises concerns about residents' financial burden. Understanding the equity of placement, objective crash data, safety metrics, potential new locations, comprehensive data, measurable safety improvements, and the methodology and criteria for enhancing traffic safety versus generating revenue is essential. A public hearing by the Committee on Pedestrian & Traffic Safety on new speed camera locations is called.
