OGDEN — Residents and clients of St. Anne’s Center set up a dozen wreaths near the center Wednesday afternoon to commemorate the dozen men injured or killed by cars rushing by on Wall Avenue and to draw attention to what they consider a dangerous situation.

As they were doing that, Ogden Mayor Mike Caldwell said he was asking the Utah Department of Transportation to study the situation. Wall Avenue is a state road, he said, so UDOT has to be involved in any changes.

OGDEN — After the death of two men on Wall Avenue near St. Anne’s Center in Ogden, the area’s homeless population hopes something will be done to make crossing the street there safer.

“The cars don’t want to stop,” Anthony Gallegos said, noting many vehicles move too fast to slow down. “They need to put a crosswalk there.”

Gallegos and a number of homeless patrons of the shelter, at 137 W. Binford St., recently discussed their difficulties trying to cross Wall Avenue.

Ideas to improve the area include a proper crosswalk, better lighting and a pedestrian bridge.

OGDEN — Ogden city officials are currently investigating last week’s auto-pedestrian accident near 24th Street and Washington Boulevard, but are quickly concluding there may be only one solution that will seriously cut incidents at mid-block crossings.

Around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, an 83-year-old woman, a 72-year-old woman and 12-year-old girl were struck by a pickup truck while crossing Washington Boulevard on the 2400 block near Peery’s Egyptian Theater.

The older women were reported to be in critical but stable condition, both with pelvic fractures and one with a femur fracture, at a local hospital. Both were recovering from surgery as of Monday.

A 58-year-old woman turned off northbound Interstate 15 at Exit 342 and stopped at the stop sign at the bottom of the off-ramp, where drivers can turn left or right onto 24th Street, said Ogden Police Lt. Tony Fox.

The pedestrian was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. Police cited the driver for failure to yield.
