Broadway, mid‑day. An 82‑year‑old is hit.

AD 66: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 8, 2025

About 1:30 PM on Oct 4, 2025, a motorcycle driver hit an 82‑year‑old at 449 Broadway in SoHo (NYC Open Data).

Since Jan 1, 2022, in Assembly District 66, 11 people have been killed and 2,272 injured in traffic crashes (NYC Open Data). Pedestrians bear a heavy share here: 6 killed and 562 hurt in that time. The list reads like corners we all know.

Corners that take people

At Crosby and Spring, a 54‑year‑old woman was killed while crossing with the signal; police recorded the driver’s failure to yield as the cause as he turned left in a Jeep (CrashID 4767502).

At Greenwich Avenue and West 10th Street, a 76‑year‑old woman crossing with the signal was killed by a left‑turning driver; again, police recorded failure to yield (CrashID 4667744).

On Cornelia Street, a sanitation truck driver backing up killed a 35‑year‑old man; police recorded backing unsafely (CrashID 4725065).

On Broadway at Waverly Place, a driver turning right hit a 55‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal; police recorded driver inattention (CrashID 4800189).

Last week, a driver going the wrong way in the West Village hit and killed a person walking, police said (CBS New York; CBS New York).

These are not freaks of chance. They are the same moves, on the same streets, ending the same way. Left turns without yielding. Right turns while distracted. Trucks backing down narrow blocks. The police codes repeat across the files: failure to yield, inattention, unsafe speed (NYC Open Data).

Bleecker Street keeps showing up in injury logs. So does Lafayette Street. Hudson Street too. The bodies and breaks pile up while we wait for simple defenses—more daylighting at corners; leading pedestrian intervals; hardened left turns; strict truck backing controls on residential blocks.

The levers on the table

Albany kept the city’s school‑zone speed cameras alive through 2030. Assembly Member Deborah Glick sponsored the Assembly bill (A 8787) and voted for the companion measure in June 2025 (S 8344; AMNY). She also sponsored a bill to expand camera enforcement, including against plate obstruction (A 7997). “The city isn’t in the car with you… If you don’t want to get a ticket, don’t speed,” Glick said when 24/7 cameras were first authorized (Gothamist).

The worst repeat speeders need to be stopped before the next turn. A bill to force speed limiters on habitual offenders has been introduced in the Assembly, and Glick is on it as a co‑sponsor (A 2299).

Council Member Carlina Rivera and State Senator Brian Kavanagh represent this area. The tools exist. The deaths are written in the docket.

What must happen now

  • Daylight and harden turns on Bleecker, Lafayette, and Hudson; add leading intervals at signalized crossings.
  • Ban or strictly control backing movements by private and city trucks on narrow residential blocks; require human guides or technology.
  • Enforce the law where the bodies fall: targeted operations at the corners above; plate‑obstruction crackdowns tied to camera sites.

Citywide, two steps would save lives here: lower the default speed limit and pass speed limiters for repeat offenders. The street does not forget. Neither should we.

Take one step now. Ask City Hall and Albany to move: /take_action/.

A 7997 Glick sponsors bill expanding camera enforcement, likely reducing overall street safety.

Apr 16 - Assembly bill A 7997 lets speed cameras catch drivers hiding or altering plates. It extends camera use in school zones. Lawmakers push to close loopholes that shield reckless drivers from accountability.

Assembly bill A 7997, now in sponsorship, aims to expand photo speed violation monitoring in New York City. The bill, sponsored by Deborah Glick with co-sponsors Jo Anne Simon, John Zaccaro Jr., Linda Rosenthal, and Tony Simone, was introduced on April 16, 2025. It 'permits the use of photo speed violation monitoring systems in New York City for the purposes of enforcement of license plate obstruction, concealment, and/or distortion; extends provisions permitting the use of speed cameras in certain school zones.' By targeting plate obstruction, the bill seeks to stop drivers from dodging speed camera enforcement, a move that could help protect pedestrians and cyclists from repeat offenders.
