Widowed, aged 72, Myriam Foucart lived practically opposite the pedestrian crossing on which she was violently mowed down on Sunday morning, not far from the Epi d’or bakery. She was returning from a neighbor’s house across the street when the tragedy occurred. As usual, she was walking with her little dog that she had loved since she took him from a shelter. A neighbor told us that Myriam was very worried about him because she feared that he would end up alone when she was no longer there to take care of him.
Discreet, this lady was very popular in the neighborhood and the announcement of her death, which occurred a few hours after the shock, deeply affected the residents of this axis where far too many cars drive, very, too quickly and make users weak. in danger. Myriam Foucart and her little dog paid with their lives.
A spontaneous impulse
To pay tribute to the victim, but also to express their anger and concerns about the growing insecurity which reigns on this important road axis made up of Guillaume Charlier, Albert and Montgomery avenues, local residents have decided to gather this Tuesday, at 6 p.m., at the scene of the accident.
A spontaneous movement which received the support of the Kain Neighborhood Committee, which was born in 2019, precisely to demand more security on this road axis.
“We did not wait for a tragedy to occur to call the authorities on this subjectexplained the initiator of this committee, Mr. Bruno Ponchau, they were receptive, but it is clear that nothing was done. It is true that Covid has put a brake on our fight but what has just happened reinforces our idea of continuing to act…”
This, in particular, by re-challenging the authorities on the need to develop projects linked to greater security on the site.
Not only through infrastructure, but also through better collaboration with the police, for example, and by making everyone aware that we are located here in a residential area, or at least one that should be considered as such. , with all that this implies in terms of road safety.
The tragedy that occurred on Sunday unfortunately demonstrates that this type of request absolutely cannot remain without tomorrow…
