Our ceremony will begin at 10:00 AM on Sunday, November 16, at the ghost bike memorial for Eli Bender, located at the corner of 6th Street and Jersey Ave. The loss of Eli, a vibrant six-year-old boy who was killed by a delivery truck earlier this year while crossing the street on his bicycle, was a profound tragedy that has deeply shaken our community. Gathering at his memorial site will be a poignant reminder of the human cost of traffic violence and the urgent need for safe streets for our most vulnerable residents.
