Citing recent terror attacks, alderman demands better protection from vehicular attacks at neighborhood festivals

Ensuring the safety and security of large public events has become a top priority for city organizers in Chicago, especially in light of past incidents where vehicles were used as weapons to harm innocent bystanders. The 2015 Chicago Pride Parade incident, where a man drove his car into a crowd of people, served as a wake-up call for authorities to enhance security measures.

In response to the potential threat of vehicle attacks, the city has implemented various security measures, including the use of snowplows as barricades and the deployment of yellow metal street barriers known as Meridian barriers. These barriers are designed to stop and disable speeding vehicles that attempt to breach security perimeters at events like the Pride Parade.

However, in the aftermath of the recent terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Alderman Raymond Lopez is advocating for even stricter security measures at street festivals and fairs across Chicago. Citing similar attacks in other cities, Lopez is calling for the implementation of mobile vehicle barriers at all permitted events in 2025, replacing the current Type III wood/plastic barricades.

Lopez’s proposal aims to prevent Chicago from becoming a target for terrorist attacks and to ensure the safety of attendees at various neighborhood events. By adopting the same security standards used during the Democratic National Convention, Lopez believes that the city can better protect its residents and visitors from potential threats.

As the city continues to evolve its security protocols in response to emerging threats, it is crucial to prioritize the safety of the public and to stay proactive in preventing future incidents. By learning from past events and adapting security measures accordingly, Chicago can maintain its status as a vibrant and welcoming city for all.
