The Hyde Park Community calls for bus monitors, Speed ​​Humps after the boy was killed with the school bus

A group in the neighborhood in Boston demands more speed hump and school bus monitors after a 5-year-old boy was killed and killed by a school bus in Hyde Park last week.

Lens Arthur Joseph, 5, from Hyde Park, died in the afternoon of April 28, when, according to the Boston police department, he was started by a school bus near the 107 Washington St. There were no further updates in the investigation of May 6, the department said.

A week after Joseph's death, the West Fair Lount Hill Community Group, which supports joint projects and initiatives for Hyde Park, announced that it would organize an open meeting that is committed to road safety.

“We cannot allow this tragedy to ever happen again,” was an explanation of West Fairount Hill. The group was “destroyed” about the loss of Joseph's “precious life”.

“… we gather to represent our community and our relatives to go to safety. We will ask our elected officials to support our inquiries,” the explanation said.

At the meeting, the group will request specific traffic measures for Hyde Park such as Speed ​​Bucks.

The group is also looking for bus monitors in elementary school buses and “other security measures recommended”, an explanation of West Fairount Hill was.

The municipal meeting is planned for 6 p.m. in Moyefield Avenue or Faraday Street on May 13th near Wakefield Avenue. When it rains, the meeting takes place at the Boston Police Academy in the Williams Avenue.

Last week, Boston's city councilors called for urgent security reforms of pedestrians and transport traffic after Joseph's death.

The city council of AT-Large, Henry Santana, called for a “complete review” of transport systems and security protocols the day after the 5-year-old's death. He plans to hear a hearing on road security in connection with his death while the investigation develops.

During a city council meeting on Wednesday, the city council of District 5, Enrique Pepén, asked “the administration to take this seriously”.

Pepén already has plans for the “faster installation” of speed humps and other traffic measures in Hyde Park during a hearing on road projects for June 9th.

The 5 -year -old Joseph was reminded in a gofundme for his “big dreams” and “a imagination beyond his years” that was created to support his family.

“At the age of only 3, the Lens could say with confidence:” I want to be a pilot. “At the age of 5, the vision had changed and he told someone who would listen:” I want to become a police officer, “wrote his uncle Ricardo Joseph.

The boy's smile would illuminate the room, “and his energy was unsurpassed,” wrote Ricardo Joseph.

“Objective was so funny and funny that he would make everyone laugh out loud with a joke or comment and then watch him and wondered how he came up with it,” said his loved ones.

“Lens loved to run around and play with his siblings and cousins. He loved to see planes flying and see fast cars. Lens was a beautiful, curious and intelligent boy who was taken too early.”
