Teen charged with manslaughter over Edgewater electric motorbike death remanded in custody

A teenage boy charged with killing a Perth woman while riding an allegedly unlicensed high-powered electric motorbike will spend another seven days in juvenile detention, as the court considers how he could be safely granted bail. The 17-year-old appeared in the Perth Children's Court via video link from the centre, as two extra charges were read out against him in relation to the death of a 59-year-old woman in Picnic Cove Park in Edgewater on Saturday. Police allege he unlawfully killed the woman as he was riding through the park, also charging him with riding an unregistered battery-powered motorcycle without a license. In court today, Magistrate Alana Padmanabham told the teen two new charges had now been added — failing to comply with a direction to stop and reckless driving to escape pursuit. The youth said little, except to acknowledge his name and that he understood the charges. His lawyer Simon Watters said his client was "not coping well" in Perth's Banksia Hill Detention Centre. Magistrate Padmanabham said the teen had a qualified right to bail, but wanted to be sure he could be safely released and ordered a bail suitability report. It came after prosecutor James Nicholls listed several concerns with bail, namely a complicated family situation. He said the 17-year-old's parents had separated and lived fairly far from each other, while there had previously been a "number of stressors" in the family home related to the boy's behaviour. Mr Nicholls said the teen's father "had no control over him" and there had been reports of physical violence in the home related to his behaviour. He said there were some concerns from police that if the teen was released to his parents, that may "set him up to fail" any bail conditions because of the "volatile situation at home". "[He] doesn't listen to his father," the prosecutor said. While the teen does not have a prior criminal record, Mr Nicholls said he had been cautioned in 2023 over an alleged assault on another child in another e-motorbike incident. But Magistrate Padmanabham quickly shut that down, saying it was unfair to include this matter in bail deliberations given it was a caution only and nothing had been proven. Magistrate Padmanabham wanted the bail report to look at how he could be suitably supervised, especially if he were to split his time between his two parents' home, as proposed by Mr Watters. She also said any bail conditions would have to be tight enough to ensure he was not a flight risk. Mr Watters said the 17-year-old had an NDIS plan which included an extensive sub plan to address his behaviours. His parents, who had sat at the back of the court, said nothing as they left. He is due back in court on August 5.

Teenager charged with manslaughter after allegedly hitting woman while riding electric motorbike

A 17-year-old boy has been charged with manslaughter after he allegedly collided with a woman while riding an electric motorbike in suburban Perth. Police say they observed an unregistered, off-road electric motorbike being ridden erratically about 2.30pm on Saturday afternoon in the Woodvale area, in Perth's northern suburbs. It is alleged that a short time later, the motorcycle was involved in a collision with a 59-year-old woman in the neighbouring suburb of Edgewater. Emergency services were called to the scene and the woman was taken to Joondalup hospital with critical injuries, but she died overnight. The teenager has been charged with manslaughter, having no authority to drive and using an unlicensed vehicle on a road. He was refused bail and is due to appear in Perth Children's Court on Sunday. Major Crash investigators are appealing for witnesses to contact CrimeStoppers. They would like to hear from anyone who has dash-cam or mobile phone vision that captured the electric motorbike travelling throughout Woodvale and Edgewater prior to the crash, including pathways adjacent to Lake Joondalup.

4 CTA Red Line stops reopen after rebuilding

Commuters on the CTA Red Line on Chicago's North Side had four shiny new stops available on Sunday. A ceremonial train busted through a banner Sunday morning at the Berwyn station, above Berwyn Avenue just east of Broadway in the Edgewater neighborhood, to celebrate the reopening. The Berwyn station has been closed as part of the Chicago Transit Authority Red and Purple Modernization Project since 2021. The Lawrence station, over Lawrence Avenue just east of Broadway, has also been closed altogether since 2021. Two other stops, the Bryn Mawr and Argyle stations — over Bryn Mawr Avenue and Argyle Street, and also just east of Broadway — had temporary stations open while being rebuilt. "There's a wider platform at each station. The concrete structure is going to allow for a smoother ride. They're fully accessible. There's elevators and escalators at all the station — accessible to everyone," said CTA senior communications representative Andrew Gavrilos. Gavrilos said the concrete structure is more wind and noise resistant, and there are also wider canopies at the top for weather protection. "Well worth the wait," Gavrilos said. The $2.1 billion Red and Purple Modernization Project has been replacing century-old tracks, signals, and platforms that had all reached the end of their service lives. At the Bryn Mawr station, a new entrance has also opened a block north at Hollywood Avenue. According to the Chicago - history site — which is not affiliated with the CTA, but was built by CTA historian and expert Graham Garfield, who now serves as the CTA's general manager for Red and Purple Modernization operations and communication coordination — the Berwyn stop was first constructed in 1916 as the Edgewater Beach station on the Northwestern Elevated Railroad. The station was renamed Berwyn, for Berwyn Avenue, in 1960, according to Berwyn Avenue in turn was named by developer and Edgewater community developer John L. Cochran, a Philadelphia native, for the Philadelphia Main Line suburban community of Berwyn. The west Chicago suburb of Berwyn, which Berwyn Avenue does not run anywhere near, was named for the same Philadelphia suburb by different developers. There has been a rapid transit station at Bryn Mawr Avenue, three blocks north of Berwyn Avenue, since 1908, according to Bryn Mawr is another Philadelphia Main Line suburb that got a street name in Chicago thanks to Cochran, according to the book Streetwise Chicago. The Argyle station — serving the Asia on Argyle district that was transformed in the 1970s by Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, and Chinese entrepreneurs — also dates back to 1908, according to Published reports note that community leader Charlie Soo persuaded the CTA to take on a $250,000 renovation for the station in the 1980s, and a pagoda was added in 1991. The pagoda and an "Asia on Argyle" sign were removed for the reconstruction of the station, and the CTA said it is working with the local alderperson and the community to relocate both. The Lawrence station — serving such venues as the Aragon Ballroom, the Riviera Theater, and The Green Mill — came later, opening in 1923, according to
