STAMFORD — For more than two decades, downtown Stamford was like a second home to David Bond.
The 67-year-old Stamford native often frequented the area, wearing his gray beanie and a black jacket, walking behind a shopping cart filled with his most prized possessions, different articles of clothing and his favorite books.
When he wasn’t walking the city streets, Bond often spent his time reading or talking to friends in Latham or Scalzi parks.
But that all changed earlier this year, on Jan. 3, when Bond was struck by a car while crossing West Main Street, near its intersection with Spruce Street. Police later determined that Bond had walked across the street during a green light, so the driver faced no charges and was allowed to walk from the scene.
