Two weeks ago, on November 21, Stephen DeBow was killed while crossing the street by a hit and run driver in North Park at the intersection of Polk Ave and Idaho St. This is an intersection that has been identified as unsafe by neighbors. Councilmember Stephen Whitburn has called for a traffic calming study.
Stephen DeBow should be alive today. His death was preventable and it was inexcusable.

Attendees will observe a moment of silence and march to the intersection of El Cajon Blvd and 30th St to call for an end to these preventable deaths.
