Block Club: Knudsen To Install Security Cameras Across Ward As One Of His First Moves

LINCOLN PARK — Newly appointed Ald. Timmy Knudsen (43rd) said he will install new cameras throughout Lincoln Park, Old Town and the Gold Coast as one of his first initiatives.

Knudsen, who was sworn in Wednesday, told Block Club he’s looking into how other lakefront aldermen have used their aldermanic menu dollars to improve public safety. He’s also talking with Chicago Police community policing commanders to plan the new camera installations.

“I live in the Old Town Triangle and know public safety is the biggest concern among neighbors,” said Knudsen, who is a lawyer. “So the first thing we’re doing is looking at the menu dollars provided to each member of City Council to see where we can put them to ensure that families and children are safe.”
