Judge’s order allows Oak Brook Terrace to reactivate red-light cameras at Route 83 and 22nd Street — for now
Covers placed over the red light cameras at the corner of Route 83 and 22nd St on the border of Oakbrook Terrace and Oak Brook in May 2022. A DuPage County judge on Monday, Aug. 22, issued an order allowing Oakbrook Terrace to re-activate the red-light cameras at Route 83 and 22nd Street, at least temporarily.
Judge Craig Belford on Monday denied an IDOT motion to dismiss Oakbrook Terrace’s motion to stay the IDOT decision. Oakbrook Terrace is authorized to reactivate the red-light cameras, pending the final disposition of the case. The next court date is schedule for Oct. 17.The court order from Monday states that the issuance of a stay will not endanger the public, is not contrary to public policy and that there exists a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits.
“Judge Belford’s decision today reinstating the city’s right to operate its automated traffic law enforcement systems at the intersection of Illinois Route 83 and 22nd Street is a significant step toward achieving that goal,” he said. “Despite repeated requests, the city did not submit the post-installation analysis on the effectiveness of the camera system to improve safety at the intersection, as required by IDOT policy,” Castaneda said.
Oak Brook Village Manager Greg Summers said Monday that if IDOT would have informed Oak Brook about Oakbrook Terrace’s filing for a stay of the red light camera revocation, the village would certainly have engaged to assist in defending the permit revocation in any manner possible.
