She just did not know if the fix she hoped for would come to fruition. Mendez, a Frank Black Middle School parent and member of its parent-teacher organization, is among the school stakeholders who have advocated for increased traffic-calming measures on the north side of the Oak Forest campus, which is bordered by 43rd.

Mendez said last December that she hoped a hybrid pedestrian beacon, which is a flashing yellow light that turns red when activated by a pedestrian who wants to cross the street, could be installed. But around that same time, she said she was told there wasn’t enough traffic in the area to warrant such a measure.
