A tree planting ceremony at the Gateway Arch will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 16, in memory of pedestrian and bicycle advocate Susie Stephens. Had she not been struck and killed by a bus in downtown St. Louis in 2002 while legally crossing the street, April 16 would have been Susie’s 46th birthday. At the ceremony, the City of St. Louis will present a proclamation to her mother, Nancy MacKerrow.
Here is a great video of Susie singing and describing the origins of the Alliance for Biking and Walking. The Susie Forest is a site created to honor her memory and work.
