/>This week, in memory of Liz Padilla, a 28-year old bicyclist who was killed
last week by a truck in New York, members of
href="http://www.visualresistance.org/wordpress/">Visual Resistance put up a
memorial on the streets of Park Slope. In memory of Liz, VR locaed an all white
bicycle on street sign with a small plaque above it.
VR writes on
their weblog - “The installation is meant as a reminder of the tragedy that took
place on June 9 at the corner of Warren and 5th Ave., and a quiet statement in
support of bikers’ right to safe travel. It was inspired by Ghost Bike
Pittsburgh, which was in turn inspired by a similar effort in St. Louis. We’d
like to never have to do this again.”
