Subway Camera - Please Donate
We Need Your Help to Protect the Dodge St. Subway
In 2014, DMPA undertook a project to renovate the pedestrian tunnel under Dodge St. at 51 st St. (Known as the Dodge St. Subway). Through the generous support of businesses, foundations and neighbors, what was once a neighborhood eyesore is now a landmark. New lighting and murals created by UNO and Dundee School students make this a safe and inviting way to safely cross Dodge St.
There have been some issues in the tunnel and the current cameras have been very helpful to police in catching those responsible. With improvements in technology, there are higher quality cameras now available.
We have the opportunity to improve the safety of the tunnel with a new and improved camera system. Carlson West Povondra Architects, located at 51 st & Dodge St., has generously offered to have security cameras from both ends of the tunnel as well as inside the tunnel connected to their building’s security system. This will allow for monitoring and the ability to quickly provide quality video to the police when needed.
In order to accomplish this, DMPA needs to raise the funds to cover the installation of new cameras that are compatible with the architects’ office system. Our hope is to have the new system up and running by the start of school.
We know these are very challenging times for many but any support you can provide to protecting this heavily used landmark is very much appreciated.
