Improvements Begin At Site Of Fatal Accident

On Wednesday, the first street light was installed on N. 43rd Street. A second street light and speed tables are designated to be installed before Christmas.

However, the city is still negotiating with the property owner and the installation of sidewalks may take place at the beginning of the year.

Last month, Ms. Monica Alvarez and Ms. Shanita Little were pushing their 1-year-old daughters in strollers down N. 43rd Street.

They were struck from behind and Ms. Alvarez, who was pregnant, and her unborn son, Angel, died. Her daughter, Imani, remains in a coma.

Ms. Little and her daughter, Marquisha, were also injured, but recovered. After the deadly accident, Ms. Nicole Walker, Ms. Alvarez’ sister, requested better lighting and sidewalks to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
