Memorial Planned for Oakwood Ave Death

Dear members of the West Hartford Community,

On Friday, November 8, at 5:06 p.m., a driver hit a pedestrian on Oakwood Avenue near St. James Street. Unfortunately, the pedestrian—Patricia Brulotte—passed away on Saturday.

Please join Bike West Hartford and partner organizations on Monday, November 11 at 5:06 p.m. at the intersection of St. James Street and Oakwood Avenue in West Hartford to acknowledge and memorialize Ms. Brulotte’s passing on our town’s streets.

We have not spoken to Ms. Brulotte’s family, and out of respect for them do not want to link her death to any additional protest or action at the memorial. We instead encourage members of the West Hartford community concerned over roadway deaths to instead turn attention to the two-year anniversary of Vision Zero, which will be on January 10, 2025.
