One month ago today, Glenn Inghram was killed by an MBTA bus while crossing Hyde Park Avenue at Forest Hills Station. He was a beloved member of the Forest Hills community, and his death has galvanized a movement.
Glenn was crossing in a marked crosswalk when he was struck. The intersection has long been known as dangerous, with inadequate signal timing and poor visibility. Despite years of community complaints, no meaningful improvements had been made.
In the weeks since Glenn's death, over 500 residents have signed our petition demanding action. We have organized community meetings, met with city officials, and begun documenting the full extent of dangerous conditions along the corridor.
But we know that signatures and meetings are not enough. Real change requires sustained pressure and political will. Glenn's death must not be in vain.
We will continue to fight for the safety improvements that could have saved Glenn's life. We owe it to him, and to everyone who must navigate Boston's dangerous streets.
Rest in power, Glenn.
