This intersection has been plagued by 'surreal' traffic deaths
USA TODAY
Gerry Goldberg's wife Andie was killed at a the intersection in 2024. He advocated to make it safer, but was killed there in a March 2 crash.
Gerry Goldberg and his wife Andreia, who went by Andie, were active and athletic. While Andie would go out on runs, Gerry was a bicyclist. They lived in their Cherry Hills Village, Colorado, home for decades and knew the streets well — where to be extra cautious, where to make eye contact with drivers so they knew they were seen.
They both died at the same intersection, less than two years apart.
One day in May 2024, Goldberg got home from a ride and waited for his wife and, when she didn't return, he checked her location on his phone, his nephew Aaron Svoboda said. It showed she was at East Belleview Avenue and South Franklin Street, an intersection near their home.
"But he saw that her 'dot' didn't move," Svoboda said, so Goldberg walked to the intersection. What he found was "heartbreaking," Svoboda said: Andie had been fatally struck by a vehicle.
After Andie's death, Goldberg, whom Svoboda described as a private, reserved guy who was loved by his friends and family, would show up at town council meetings and press leaders in Cherry Hills Village and neighboring Greenwood Village — the two towns that share the intersection — to install traffic lights.
