      Five-day extension

      extension

      CDOT took an extension under 5 ILCS 140/3(e), checking two grounds: that the records had not been located in a routine search and further efforts were being made, and that consultation with another public body was needed.

    2. JUL 19

      Followed up after the extension lapsed

      note

      With the extended deadline about a month past, a follow-up asked for the status of the search, any difficulties encountered, and an estimated response date.

    3. JUL 21

      CDOT acknowledges the delay

      note

      The FOIA officer apologised for the delay and said the request was still being processed.

  4. JUL 24

    Full release, four documents

    final release

    CDOT released the responsive records and stated that no additional records were uncovered.

ⓘ Documents are unaltered agency releases. The timelines, titles, descriptions and summaries around them are written by Claude from those records and checked by me.

Records released by the City of Chicago Department of Transportation under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140). Chicago publishes the text of every FOIA request it receives; the City asserts no copyright in these records.

Released documents occasionally contain material an agency didn't intend to release, or third-party work that isn't a government record. If something here shouldn't be, tell me and I'll take it down. george.main@gemiv.net
