Brianna Loven walks past the blood stain in the middle of the 168th Street and 60th Avenue crosswalk every day on her way to work. It鈥檚 the spot where her friend, Emily Sanregret, was fatally struck on June 23.

Loven had known Sanregret for 14 years, attending the same church and spending most of their teen years together. They both worked at Kidz Rock Daycare, and Loven is now taking care of the kids Sanregret had been watching before she passed away.

鈥淛ust working here, it has its moments,鈥� the 20-year-old Loven said. 鈥淏ecause I have her room, the room with all of her preschoolers. It鈥檚 been quite the experience, not having her around and not being able to talk to her.

鈥淓ven the crosswalk (is difficult), because there鈥檚 still the bloodstain in the middle of the crosswalk,鈥� she added. 鈥淚t鈥檚 hard. It鈥檚 been hard.鈥�

It鈥檚 not just hard because every day Loven walks past the place where her friend was hit. It鈥檚 difficult because she鈥檚 almost been hit twice since Sanregret passed away.

鈥淚t definitely shakes me up every single time,鈥� she said. 鈥淎fter it happens, I shake and my jaw鈥檚 going. I have jitters. It makes crossing the street scarier.鈥�

The first time, Loven was nearly struck in the same spot as Sanregret.

鈥淭he sun wasn鈥檛 entirely on the crosswalk, but I was exactly where Emily had been hit, and this guy starts turning,鈥� she said. 鈥淎nd I鈥檓 screaming at him. And he鈥檚 like, 鈥業 didn鈥檛 see you.鈥欌��

The second time was on Tuesday, July 11, when a car cut in front of her to make a left turn.

鈥淲e all worry about this,鈥� Loven said about the intersection. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not just me, it鈥檚 all the coworkers there that worry about this crosswalk because it鈥檚 such a busy intersection.鈥�

Loven thinks the city should put in a delayed left turn signal for drivers on 60th Avenue wanting to turn onto 168th Street. There is already a turn signal on 168th Street turning onto 60th Avenue.

鈥淚t would be the first step to making this a better intersection,鈥� she said.

鈥淭hen even in the morning, when the sun is on that side of the road, they still can鈥檛 go until 鈥� the green arrow鈥檚 there.鈥�

性视界传媒鈥檚 manager of transportation, Jaime Boan, said the city isn鈥檛 currently planning to alter the intersection.

The city hasn鈥檛 received the RCMP鈥檚 investigation into Sanregret鈥檚 death yet, and therefore don鈥檛 know what the RCMP believes may have caused the accident.

However, the city completed their own safety assessment of the intersection in mid-July and found no issues with the intersection.

Boan did note that because the crash happened early in the morning the sun may have been in the driver鈥檚 eyes, but 鈥渟hort of that we don鈥檛 see any other engineering reason for the incident.鈥�

For now, it鈥檒l be up to the drivers to make the intersection a safer place. But Loven doesn鈥檛 see that happening.

鈥淭hey know someone died here,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hey know someone died here recently, and no one seems to care, because everyone is too busy getting to where they need to be.鈥�
