Fifth Avenue, Seven Dead: Who Will Stop the Killing?
AD 73: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Bodies in the Crosswalks
In Assembly District 73, the numbers do not lie. Seven people killed. Thirty-five left with serious injuries. In the last twelve months alone, five deaths and over five hundred wounded. The old and the young. A woman, 81, crushed by an SUV on East 59th. Two men, both 67, struck down on Fifth Avenue. Blood on the pavement, sirens in the night. The city moves on. The families do not. See the NYC Open Data.
Who Pays the Price?
Cars and SUVs did the most harm. They killed, they maimed, they kept rolling. Trucks and buses followed. Bikes and mopeds hurt too, but the numbers are smaller. The deadliest force is always the same: speed and steel. The old story, told again and again. The sidewalk is not safe. The crosswalk is not safe. The bike lane is not safe.
What Has Alex Bores Done?
Assembly Member Alex Bores has moved on some fronts. He co-sponsored bills to require complete street design, to install speed limiters on repeat offenders, and to enforce bike lane safety. He backed moped and e-bike safety laws, saying, “By requiring the registration of mopeds at point of sale and the collection of e-bike collision data, we are making our streets safer and increasing accountability,” as reported by Streetsblog NYC.
But the work is not done. Sidewalks are still too narrow. Bike lanes are still unprotected. The Fifth Avenue redesign will widen sidewalks, but leaves out bus and bike lanes. “This plan entirely fails to meet the moment,” said Transportation Alternatives. The city claims progress, but the dead are still dead.
What Next? Demand More
Call your leaders. Demand protected bike lanes, slower speeds, and real accountability for dangerous drivers. Do not let another year pass with bodies in the street. The numbers will not save us. Only action will.
