Security measures go into place for Democratic National Convention in Chicago
CHICAGO — After months of preparations, the Democratic National Convention starts a week from Monday. With a number of security measures and street closures going into place, the city will look and feel a lot different. The biggest priority on the agenda is the buildout of the DNC security perimeter. Much of that construction will begin at the United Center at 6 a.m. on Monday. The first phase of staging of the perimeter fencing was already taking shape outside the venue on Sunday.
, and the United Center restrictions go into place a day later, starting at 7 p.m. As CBS News Chicago has reported, many of the offices in the area are encouraging their employees to work from home next week. Small businesses and shops that rely heavily on foot traffic are raising their own concerns as restrictions will likely keep patrons away. 'One mistake, one bad apple can really ruin the image of the city, so I think it's going to be very tightly supervised,' said Riccio.
