CUBS TO PAY $1M TO CITY FOR SECURITY CAMERAS
Team aims to add to security, safety around ballpark
By John Byrne,
Chicago Tribune
"The Cubs are sending the city $1 million to pay for dozens of security cameras near Wrigley Field, Chicago aldermen said Tuesday.
The City Council Budget Committee approved the grant from the team to the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, but it will be months before the cameras are up and running.
Wrigleyville Ald. Tom Tunney, 44th, said the city and the team will work on the placement of the cameras, which cost around $30,000 each to buy and install - and will become part of the OEMC's citywide network of security cameras.
Tunney said the majority of the 30 or so additional cameras will be "in the nexus of Wrigley Field" close to the park. But some will likely be installed as far west as the Kennedy Expressway and as far east as Lake Shore Drive, which
Tunney said he remains opposed to closing Clark and Addison streets near the ballpark during events there. "This (camera purchase) has nothing to do with that," he said. "There are too many residents and businesses in the area. Those streets are too important for people trying to get around the neighborhood."
