'Ghost Bike' memorial removed

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:32:40 -0500

IT WAS THERE LESS THAN A MONTH — THIS WHITE GHOST BIKE WAS CHAINED TO A GUARD RAIL TO REMEMBER ROY SEKRETA AND HIS LOVE OF CYCLING. SEKRETA WAS KILLED IN MARCH OF 2008 ON HIS WAY HOME FROM WORK. JENNIFER BUNTZ, AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE CYCLING COMMUNITY NOTICED THE MEMORIAL WAS GONE WHEN SHE DROVE BY EARLIER THIS WEEK. [INSERT SOT NAME: 6:23 JENNIFER] "I just, I wondered what had happened, why somebody would vandalize or why the city would chose to take it down, I looked at the law, there is a state law that protects roadside memorials." [INSERT: Source: 8-106-42 (TIGHT SHOTS OF DESCANSOS)] BUNTZ IS TALKING ABOUT DESCANSOS, ROADSIDE MEMORIALS CREATED TO REMEMBER A LOVED ONE KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY *ARE* PROTECTED BY STATE LAW. [INSERT: BLAISE TAPE 11:03 cut chain links] WE CALLED THE CITY WHO SAYS IT REMOVED THE BIKE BECAUSE IT WAS CHAINED TO A GUARDRAIL, MAKING IT A SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. A GUARDRAIL NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO ABSORB SHOCK AND GIVE WAY WHEN IT’S HIT BY A CAR. BUNTZ SAYS IF THAT'S THE CASE, THE CYCLING COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO GET THE GHOST BIKE BACK AND PUT IT IN A MORE APPROPRIATE PLACE. [INSERT SOT NAME: 5:27 JENNIFER] "The bike has significance because so many people use this path and we want to remember roy and we want to remember what happened, we want it to serve as a reminder to be safe and aware for motorists and cyclists."
