Bee Tolbert wanted to be part of a pilot project to test technology geared toward driver safety because she knows what it s like to be blindsided by another driver. I ve had a car come through a light and hit me, said Tolbert, 61, of the Northeast Side. I want to be part of a change. I have four grandchildren I care for, she said. I felt I could make something safer for the people.
More than 300 people are participating in a pilot project along North High Street, Morse Road and Cleveland Avenue that will alert drivers to red lights ahead while detecting potential collisions with other connected vehicles, and when they enter school zones.
BROOKS AVENUE CHRISTMAS
The story of a building and a woman and a bad night and a good day Van Stanley walked out near closing time two days before Christmas, onto the sidewalk along Brooks Avenue, in the dark of a winter night, and saw him. Her alarm and reaction were as much instinctual as anything else, he was saying something she couldn’t make out, and moving toward her, and she retreated. A step, and another step, and a turn and run and a bolt through the door.
She was 53, and five-foot-four, and though she worked 12-hour days at the restaurant, she often stooped at the lower back, caught with stiffness and discomfort, and she was not a young woman, and she was not accustomed to running.
