Cedar Rapids Says They'll Sue State Over Denial Of I-380 Speed Cameras

(Cedar Rapids, IA) -- The City of Cedar Rapids says if the Iowa DOT doesn't reverse their denial of speed cameras for the S-curve on I-380, they'll sue the state.

The city is appealing the Department Of Transportation's rejection of the automated cameras on Interstate 380 at J Avenue and First Avenue.

They say the cameras enhance safety on the S-Curve, which has seen an increase in speeding drivers this month alone.

The Iowa DOT says the cameras are unnecessary.

Cedar Rapids argues that officer placement in these areas would be unsafe.
