In the nearly two months since cyclist Roberta Walker was struck by a vehicle and badly injured, the Coast Highway 101 corridor where she regularly rode has been upgraded and cyclists have produced a set of riding rules to help foster goodwill with motorists.
And people near and far have donated more than $90,000 of the estimated $125,000 she s expected to need to help pay for her current rehabilitation expenses as well as the anticipated costs of renovating her home so that she can eventually move back into it.
Meanwhile, Walker is making slow, steady progress toward recovery and has moved out of the hospital and into a rehabilitation facility, Kellie Shay Hinze, one of Walker s close friends, said Thursday, Jan. 24.
