Judge says IDOT has the right to order removal of controversial red-light cameras on Rte. 83 in Oakbrook Terrace.
Oakbrook Terrace can't have its red-light cameras at Route 83 and 22nd Street anymore, a DuPage County judge has ruled. Judge Craig Belford ruled, on May 26, that the Illinois Department of Transportation has the right to revoke the permit it gave for the cameras in 2017. They are on the Oakbrook Terrace side of the busy intersection, across from Oakbrook Center mall.
The city reports that 236,177 tickets were issued between Aug. 21, 2017 -- when the cameras were turned on -- and May 3, 2022. Of those, 2,945 were dismissed. Neighboring Oak Brook had protested the cameras, contending that they targeted people shopping at the mall. They also contended the cameras caused an increase in crashes, rising from 23 in 2015 to 49 in 2019. Oak Brook sued Oakbrook Terrace over this but then dropped the suit.
