The owners of cars parked in bicycle and bus lanes downtown will get a ticket in the mail if a city camera snaps the infraction, as part of a pilot program approved Wednesday by the Chicago City Council.
“Rafi Cardenas should be alive today,” said Ald. Daniel La Spata during the debate over the measure on March 4. “Sam Bell should be alive today. What we are doing today will help keep more people safe.”
After the incriminating photo is reviewed by city staff — much like the speed violations captured by cameras mounted near schools and parks — the registered owner of the vehicle will get a ticket in the mail. Violators would get a warning in the 30 days after the cameras are turned on, and the first ticket for each driver would also serve as a warning, officials said.
The City Council voted unanimously in December to give employees of the Department of Finance — not just members of the Chicago Police Department — the authority to order vehicles blocking the bicycle lane to be ticketed and towed.
