Episode Details

In the 19th Ward, officials are considering relocating the least-used speed camera — the one on 99th Street near Ridge Park — to a high-need area with more traffic safety concerns. While three other cameras were moved two years ago based on crash data and community requests, the Western Avenue camera remains one of the city’s most active, racking up over a thousand tickets in its first year. The 99th Street camera, however, has generated far fewer violations, prompting the alderman’s office to ask the DOT to evaluate moving it to 111th Street near Morgan Park Academy and St. Cajetan Elementary, where parents and staff have voiced safety concerns during peak student crossing times. The DOT is now reviewing the proposal, weighing crash history, community feedback, and legal requirements before making a decision.
