Mike Keating posted a discussionUpdate: Truck That Struck Bicyclist on Milwaukee Avenue ID'ed by Red Light Camera
Today my firm received images from the Chicago Department of Transportation's red light cameras. The camera at Ashland and Division appears to have gotten a clear shot of the truck that struck Dustin Valenta. This determination was made based on the time stamp, the fact this truck turned onto Milwaukee, and the independent witness's account of the pick up being grey. As it turns out, the truck is actually grey, not white as it appeared in the earlier Citibank footage.We are working on pressing…See More

Jeff Markus said… Yo Mike,
I don't think the coffee meeting format will need me to pull strings but I'll let ya know if I think a 'friendly' follow up would help.
I'm thinkin' this to be more of an introduction to LOOK for the 3 officials and to sorta feel'em out for contact info and potential leverage as we move forward with the education campaign.
Thanks for the offer and if you can make it the extra body would be handy since the hour and a half is going to be a challenge to hit all 3 since they will be burdened with many constituent concerns.
