An emotional memorial was held on Sunday afternoon in honour of a 47-year-old cyclist who died after being struck by two drivers just under a week ago in southwest Scarborough. The collision happened on Feb. 26 shortly after 5:30 p.m. on St. Clair Avenue East, just west of Birchmount Road. The victim was rushed to the hospital, but died there a short time later.
Described as a “moving and impactful” memorial by organizers, Sunday’s gathering brought together dozens of cyclists, supporters, and advocates as well as a few family members of the victim, who has been identified as Bill (Vasilios) Petropoulos. The gathering also included the installation of what is known as a ghost bike, a bicycle that is painted white and decorated with flowers in remembrance of vulnerable road users killed on Toronto’s street
