Memorial wreaths mark Wall Avenue danger after pedestrian deaths
In Ogden, St. Anne's Center clients laid a dozen wreaths along Wall Avenue to highlight dangerous crosswalk conditions after three resident fatalities in a year.

UDOT will log pedestrian and vehicle movements over weeks to assess if a crosswalk or other improvements are warranted, while a memorial service for the victims drew attention to the traffic noise masking prayers and the community’s plea for safety and action.
