CPD Traffic Stops Down, Chicago’s West Nile Risk, and Even More Belugas OTW

from City Cast Chicago · host City Cast

The Illinois Department of Transportation has released the most recent traffic stop data from police departments across the state. While overall traffic stops in Chicago are down, Black and Latino drivers are still three to six times more likely to be pulled over than white drivers. We dive into the numbers with contributors Adora Namigadde and Jill Hopkins. Plus, Chicago is on high-risk alert for West Nile virus, and the Shedd welcomes four more beluga whales.   Good news: South Asian American Lit Fest Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
